    Stop-losses

    Perhaps not many people agree with me that stop and target are measurable. I solely use candlestick to trade ES. In my way of projecting price behavior, stop and target are not constant, but directly proportional to the size of ( preceding ) candlestick(s). The stop and target are true over...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    You are right. Actually I have a few bizarre trades that I could not imagine how they were ended without the same problem as in this case. Maybe luck really played a role. Maybe in future when I got big capital, I will swift to Interactive Brokers and have a safer placement of OCO orders...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    I use NinjaTrader version 6.5 I almost forget ZenFire. LOL This is how I place a trade: I do not click OCO Order at the SuperDOM ( use default setting ). I enter a trade at market price. I have one preset ATM strategy of 4 points each for both Stop-loss and Profit Target, but I quickly...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    As far as I know, OCO orders for live trading reside at the Ninja server, not on my local computer. I may be wrong; need somebody to confirm it. I occasionally turn off the trading platform if I walk away for a short while. I can still see the target and stop-loss on the DOM until either of...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    Got your point. I usually set the stop-loss and profit target through the NinjaTrader ATM strategy and the execution is without problem. That means if either the target or stop-loss is hit, the other will automatically being cancelled. But in this case, my target price ( 1111.25 ) turned...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    Sorry, unable to upload the xls file. Yes, seems like my target was not cancelled after the trade was stopped out. It seems like target price turned to another short order, which was later stopped out at 1111.50. So another loss of 0.25 point ( 1111.50 - 1111.25 ). I was charged another...

    Can't understand the trade execution

    Please refer to attached file dstm028330.xls. I long 1 ES contract at 1109.50, put stop-loss at 1107.25 and target at 1111.25. I was stopped out at 1107.25 ( 2.25 points ), but my target was later executed at 1111.50 ( another loss of 0.25 point ). The total loss of 2.50 points ( $125.00 )...

    PC Fan Noise...can I leave case open?

    Computer casing is just cosmetic. My computer is without one side-cover and I never have over-heat problem for the last 4 years since I changed the motherboard damaged by the heat ( mainly capacitor damaged ). My daytime is 33 degree C year-round. If nobody will temper with your CPU, it is good...

    The market is random

    Therefore there is repetitive ( market ) price behavior on every market day. Keep it to yourself. Most people may not see that.
