Thanks, that's very helpful

Hi @TraDaToR Do different regions of crop growing tend to trade on different exchanges? So is a West African crop failure more likely to lead to higher London prices than NY prices? Or is it just a case of shipping differential and you think the spread will normalize/ mean revert?

@formikatrading thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into trademetria

Thanks for taking the time to reply Tom. Just trying to compute some stats automatically to improve what I'm currently doing manually, so it's helpful to know I'll need to build it / find another provider

Hi all, I've been looking at getting Edgewonk to do some reporting on my trades because I can't find where on Interactive Brokers to get a max drawdown during life of trade statistic and max profitability? (as well as dates of these events) I also want to know: what was the max ITM and OTM...

BOUGHT 1 ZO Mar'19 @ECBOT @ 285.25, the trend is higher, higher lows and within +/- 1% of the 40 day moving average has been good buying so far. Stop at 280. Initial target 320

Thank you :) This 'Google' thing is going to be big!

Yeah I had some strange behaviour recently, one error was the result of human error because one of the preset conditions was ridiculous , for example I was trading sugar and the price of the contract was 0.1090 and when I selected stop order the price automatically populated by the System was...

Technical analysis should 'see' as far as your results tell you it does. If your indicator is working enough to make you profitable on that setup then great, if not then it's probably not a very good indicator. Try refining it. One thing that can be a good exercise for dealing with FOMO (fear...

Yes I would agree that it doesn't make any sense to be down $50 to make $20. There are very few situations where it would make sense to hold on but I think the answer falls out of your model. To use sporting analogies each trade is like an individual shot. In golf you're not just going to find...

Canola still looking negative and this really start to look like a big negative breaking down below 490 with a couple of attempts to recover so far failing. Just watching for now because the price has been tearing through short stops above 490, so I think maybe the best entry is to try go short...

stopped out at 1.1662. very disappointing given I am out at zero (no loss but no gain) after catching a 8% move in the sell off from 125. Friday's session looks to show that to be a good decision though, the price up again. I'm almost tempted to use this to get short again near the 200 DMA but I...

got stopped on sugar on the initial move. (14.03), still short coffee. I have started adding every 3% move in the price (in my favour) to every position I take and stop out if my breakeven (average) price is hit. I don't have a generic exit plan (that mirrors the adding plan) but the 40 DMA or a...

I went short sugar as well as coffee, my entry price on sugar was 13.86. I'm happy to have a short position now somewhere near the highs but after it has already started turning or so it appears at this stage. It's all the rules that I should be following as the major long-term downtrend, as...
