Yeah. Note to self: don't bother on day before FOMC.

yes, we all lose money, we are all in llama-worshipping cult, and we all need to be rescued by YOU (and your 100 other handles)! :D and rest assured, if any of us were making $, we would definitely post in the P&L thread.

I haven't read about the tampa tape except for other people's mentions of it, but it seems to make sense. We look at the 5 minute chart, in general, because that provides the best window for our trading fractal given an average level of volatility. It seems to make sense that if volatility is...

That same spot in 2 min

I mainly look to do it when the price action and the gaussians are poorly expressed in 5 minute bars (lots of intrabar change). Sure, I could just look at the YM for that faster-fractal clarity, but sometimes I feel like that would be a misuse of the YM, which I am supposed to be using only at...

I misread... I actually use a faster fractal when volatility is super high, and sometimes (but not anytime lately) a slower fractal when volatility is low.

Me too.

You're missing a channel near your 2nd blue box (see the B2B). I viewed that 2nd blue area as an HVS (note the decr alternating volume).

I get backfill of about 15 days it seems. I don't see the point of having a backup feed (QT+IQ) since if Zen goes down, you can't place an order anyway.

I highly recommend Mirus Futures. Commissions are similar to IB at first, but you can negotiate it down as you start doing more trades. Data feed is great. You get the Zenfire feed for free, which, IMO seems more responsive and faster than IB or IQ were. I've never not been filled...

Def a B2B

double digits here. i bow down to anyone who got triples today.

Thought I'd chime in with my Ninja experiences. If you need to extend an LTL line, a quick trick to do it is to click the line you want to extend, CTRL+C,CTRL+V, then use the line you just pasted as a guide for your original line as you extend it to keep the slope consistent. As far as...

Good luck. My honest advice would be to forgo this "game" and sim trade while making money at a real job. When you have more, say four figures worth, and you have proven yourself on the sim, have a go at it for real. Your hourly rate starting with a $200 account is not going to be...

It's a daily chart, man. This means that one might spend 5 seconds on it per day getting the annotations up to speed.
