    I closed some positions, mostly at loss, and am only short GBP/JPY and USD/JPY now. The other ones have left the window within which my testing shows my signals to be predictive. My data on my two open positions looks good after today so we'll see if they follow through next week. I also...

    Well pretty much all my positions went against me today but my spreadsheet says they are still good. I have a lot of long Yen exposure including a new GBP/JPY short position so I guess it will depend on how the market feels about BOJ action tonight. I would like to think that my analysis...

    Got in late last night so just did a cursory look before bed. After looking in more detail I think the big trade right now is going to be long yen and bonds. Looks like the ES/NQ are blowing through the long signal.

    Markets seem indecisive right now. I closed USD CHF short at a small loss and added a couple. Currently long: EURUSD, GBPUSD, CADJPY, EURGBP Short: USDCAD, AUDUSD, NZDJPY, USDJPY, EURJPY. I'm not going to try and make sense of all that. I'm taking the trust the spreadsheet approach. I...

    The ACD Method

    Mine are bullish on 5 10 and 30 immediate term and a long term value I'm researching right now is bullish on 5 and 10 and flat to bearish on the 30. I'm still studying my bond book so don't have a good understand of curves yet.

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    I use period range on everything I trade too, split up in to various OR periods and then the duration of that trading session.

    The ACD Method

    So what are everyone's thoughts on CL? I'm watching it trade in a range just under its monthly and quarterly A down. My NLs on it are basically flat lining but I'm catching some bearish momentum developing. I think it might be poised for a breakdown but I'm not trading oil. Anyone short?

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    I failed to communicate properly. I meant that the length/multiplier of the ATR doesn't matter as long as you understand it's meaning. ATR is literally the heart of my trading.

    Updates today: going to close GBP/USD and EUR/GBP later. It looks like I might get a little selling in the asian session so I'll give it a chance but definitely closing them tonight. Also switching long GBP/USD. Everything else looks good to hold. Going to start looking for gold deals. I...

    The ACD Method

    Sorry I use Python and know nothing about r. This issue was the hardest part for me too.

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    My mindset is that I am looking for a state where a move is "trying" to take place. I then position myself accordingly and see if it happens. As far as ATR, I don't believe it matters. What matters is that you understand what that level represents in terms of distribution of price from some...

    I probably wouldn't be spending all my free time learning to code and analyze spreadsheets.

    I really am in a forward test phase right now too. I just wanted to do it with real money to find as many bugs as possible. Again I chose forex because I can trade tiny size where I really don't care what happens, but it is still real trades. And a little bit of money keeps me interested of...

    The ACD Method

    No problem. Xlk looks ok but everything else I look at has nasdaq very bearish right now at least in the near term. I haven't found a tool yet that has predictive value further out. I don't even look at 30 day anymore, made that output just for you. :)

    Right now my system consists of some extensive data analysis performed nightly in Python, from which I make subjective decisions on my trades. The algos I've worked on are intended to get me better prices than a market at open order. I'm not sure they provide any value and right now I'm just...

    EOD traders only journal

    I'm pretty paranoid about that sort of thing. That's a big reason I'm starting with forex, in order to trade as small as possible while I learn. I closed the mistaken EUR/USD position and just got short AUD/USD as well. Along with learning to program right now, I am still kind of getting...
