I too use S/R and am with Global Futures and I really like it. I am mostly a newbie and have very little experience with other platforms. I do not use the Strategys either but like the service and the OCO with. I suggest you try their 2 week trial which you can get at...
Thanks for posting your excel SAR calcs. However, if you are going to use the alternate calc on the pivit point, should it not be divided by 4 and not 3. Also, doesn't most everyone just use H,L and C divided by 3?
I like that. If you use a 2% loss for your money management, then I guess you should set your stops at 4 points for the DAX. That is what i try to use, but sometimes get blown out
I use the 2% rule on the DAX and/or the ES/YM.
Are you suggesting that as you get more experience, you should...
E S, I agree that comish is too high if I do vol and that is part of reason why I will make a move. But for now only trading 1-2contracts, I sure like the oco. Maybe dont trust myself enough just yet to pull the triggers on my own. Thanks for your input.
Dont let all the naysayers on Elite keep you from posting. People like Fast and I are anxious to learn. Won't be doing the number of scalps you do, but can learn from you and use it to fit our on system and timeframe.
Will miss your posts for a month. Also waiting to hear how you like your new broker. Am looking to make a change myself. Also interested in AMT's comments about x-trader as I now use Strategy Runner w/o the strategies as I like their bracketing and oco as am a newbie
Have a great holiday.
I don't think you are competing with Awash. I just appreciate both of you posting. As of today, I trade in the same room as awash. Wish we had less people like Ditch always flameing everyone.
Thanks again:)
You are doing great. I think we all struggle with risk/reward ratio. I only trade 2 contracts with 20+k and am struggeling with deciding where to add the next contract. My win ratio is not as high as yours, so will just stay with 2 contracts. Also trade a lot on the DAX and stops can get...
Glad to see you back online posting. Do you ever trade the DAX as well as ES? I try to trade DAX early in the morn (CST) 3-5 days per week as well as ES. Do better on ES but am learning on DAX:)
You are great. My system never gave a signal to get in at 8:43 cst. Did buy the bounce back and made 1.5. Just pure luck and hunch that would get a rebound. I would take your record anytime.:)
I live in central time zone and trade the DAX from around 530-6 in the morn. Follow (and trade) DAX even after the US mkts have opened. Also follow and trade es and dow emini after mkt opens. What have you tried?
