Heres a picture ... note both contracts. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1515963">

One of the nice things about Sierra is that you can specify the contract two different ways. I use HSIN7-FUT-HKFE to store live (unrefreshed data) for tick charts and HSI-200707-HKFE to store data for my longer term charts (I refresh this with 30 sec data so that it is a relatively small file...

I would suggest that you look at the US6.40 per point contract to determine your trades. The mini is basically arbed to it so you could trade the mini for test purposes off signals on the normal contract (I think).

I trade 100% Hang Seng. Each one is different so there is a range for all tastes.

Hong Kong hours are: HK 9:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. Interactive Brokers Consider also SPI, SGXNK, Osaka Nk contracts, STW and KOSPI. Nikkei and SPI open two hours before HSI.

SC will download months of tickdata from data services that provide it but IB's fastest backload is not tick data (I think its 5 second data). SC lets you make customised indicators using either worksheets (its like excel language) or full programming. You can even use the charts background...

Thunderdog, You are running into the "IB Snapshot data doesn't include all snapshot highs and lows cause its only taken every 200ms" problem. 1. What timeframe are you charts (because IB are now providing a new true data feed of 5 second bars which is on the latest API so you should get...

If he'd called it Tharp Expectancy then he would have had a law suit ... against him. It wasn't his idea but he wrote about it like it was ... self-promotion is a talent.

No. Trading is 95% whatever gives one the hardest time. It varies from trader to trader. And it probably varies at different times in their trading careers.

We can still wait for the confirmation of a lower high if the correlation is valid.

Its 10 out of 10. It solves most of our problems Its inexpensive (they focus on markets, technology and cost) It discourages the most service hungry newbies And it provides huge amusement when it pisses people off.

Bullz, You might try wattstrading.com (I think, Ryan Watts). He'll sell you his strategy for 50 bucks along with access to his yahoo board and chat room and he might just be willing give you some personal tuition for extra dollars - I suspect more than $50. But the combination of his...

That website is run by a guy who is promoting his own (and other's) material. He even injected spam into the middle of your thread.

Three biggies: 1. More markets that are open while I'm awake. 2. Backfill data. 3. 5 second true data bars for charting applications.

The arguments: - follow it don't target; and - all out; ignore the position sizing implications of the standard deviations of wins and losses. If anyone reading this thread wants to look at it seriously look up books by Stridsmann. Its important to remember that Tharp is a...

Are you even having difficulty posting stock? A very sad day for you.

LMAO stock, you are not man enough to send me packing!

IB's excuse is that its not something that IB caused. So, Stock baby, give urself a quick ass kick and move on.

Those situations are excellent (in part because of the extra momentum you get) as are the situations that suck a group of traders in and then force them to dump on the opposite side. But they are not necessary for a high probability setup. Just find something where the probability of a move...

Yep. Its grow up and accept your mistake time. Get over it and move on to better trading in future.
