Interesting thanks. I'm going to look at that as I work on my code. I think it would be useful for analyzing a broad range of products like you have done with your auto scoring of number lines. That is my end goal too once I get the skills for it. Right now I'm super focused on one product...

Gotcha thanks. I don't use any tool or method if I don't understand the logic behind it. So I have been thinking about the pivot ranges. It seems to me that they and volume profile both attempt to accomplish the same thing, IE represent the area where the bulk of trading took place in a given...

Maybe you could spend a few years working on code, swing trade futures, and when you get full MD salary you could scale up. If you are smart enough to write good Algo during med school I'm sure you can come up with something for swing trading.

When I played poker full time and started to lose after a huge win I would pull out all but what I needed to play smaller games. Having a smaller account made me much more disciplined. I usually paid off a car or part of my mortgage with my withdrawal. Something illiquid.

On a related note, CL has really gotten my interest the last few days. I'm seeing selling below the recent relevant POCs, at the right time of the month. This is what I meant earlier when I look for a trade with a good location in price and time. I don't track NLs for anything but gold yet...

I have the es sitting just above its monthly A down and and also just above last months POC, which would make me pretty interested in a long here if I got a signal. I know mixing of ACD with other methods is frowned upon here but I have found the two to complement each other extremely well...

Here is a cumulative view of GC by day 3 it is over 20%. Edit: I briefly created some weekly output too and it is also looks good like you say. I didn't play with the data too much as right now trying to figure out how to analyze intraday data and that is eating all my free time. :)

Yes it is signifigant. Here is GC first day is around 11%. Keep in mind I am a complete and total beginner with this stuff so I can't guarantee the accuracy of my output yet.

I knew you would call me out on that choice of words. For me the edge I believe I have is placing my trades in a good location in time and price. The first part of that comes from ACD the second from my take on price action. Both of which I am working on quantifying better by learning to...

Here is something I have been thinking about. If understand that the daily opening range can give a small trader an advantage because large firms have to move money on a daily basis. This can't necessarily be taken advantage of by other firms because they also have to move large amounts of...

Heh when I said I'm not very good at computers I wasn't being humble. Me learning to program is a very painful process.

TF 12.5% I'm going to work on other timeframes next. It will take a while. I'm bad at computer stuff and barely have any time to work on this.

DX 14.5%

CL 21%

GC 18%

I've learned a lot from this thread but never really contributed anything. I've been learning python and my first project was to write code to analyze the distribution of monthly highs and lows. So here is a graph showing the percentage of the time that each trading day holds either a high or...

Thanks to both of you for the reading suggestions.

Interesting debate. Can either one of you recommend a good book for someone that doesn't understand these things? I don't remember learning anything about yield curves from econ way back in the day. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback here and via pm. I think for now I'm going to learn Python and see if I can program my trading approach. One of the perks of my job is free access to education. I already found a great Python course that should keep me busy for a while. I'm also in the process of...

This is starting to drift but performance under stress is an interesting topic to me and the military. A lot of my training is based on the concept of performing tasks under stress due to sleep and food deprivation, and various other physical and psychological methods. In fact some of the...
