I'm a bit shocked to be honest. You have stats that clearly show you have an amazing edge, if your win rate can of course be maintained, but what you're focusing on is improving this??? What exactly would be the problem with performing at this same level week after week, and putting more...

With regards to the VIX, I remember watching it for months in a little chart off to the bottom right in my collage of charts. I just had it there to glance over so to see if I could pick up on any patterns. It just seemed like it was highly correlated with the indexes. So when VIX went up...

Beautiful! I have to admit that I don't look at channels enough. I love horizontal levels, but channels I find can be drawn in so many different ways, depending on which swing points you use, so it makes them a bit arbitrary for me. But your illustration makes it very obvious. Thanks.

Your last trade where you bought at 3325 is an amazing entry, and you pretty much caught the low. Can I ask what made you enter the long here? From what I can see, I have no levels of importance and since you bought on the first time it came down here, its not like it was a re-test of the low...

All of these are excellent reasons. I think the trouble most people have with this is that they think you average in just because it went against you, like someone shorting Tesla, and we clearly know how that turned out. I don't have the math or rules worked out nearly as well as you do, but I...

I honestly think that there is no need for it anymore. MM's might need to shows bids and offers, but HFT algos can simply decide in a micro second if they want to make a trade based on what is available. For a super fast machine to show their hand, other than for spoofing purposes, makes no...

Awesome. I will check it out.

The key part of this is how often it ends up working out. If for NQ as an example, you wait a few extra seconds to go long, you might get ling at 9310. If you use a 5 point stop, and it dips to 9304 after entry, you're out. Your trade isn't wrong, especially if price holds above 9310, but you...

I see it differently. A new trader gets obsessed with the perfect entry and tight stop. If you give yourself breathing room by preparing for some adverse movement and will scale into your max position size, it's easier on the emotions.

Quick question @quant1 . Why are the levels on the ES much thinner now? The volume seems about the same for years as I have shown on my chart. Are there less MMs quoting and hence each level is only a quarter as thick if not less? Or has their game changed? It's almost as if nobody wants to...

Amazing results. Would you share a chart with some entries and exits?

Out of curiosity, those green arrows, do they indicate where you take a trade, or just that certain conditions are met to warrant thinking about getting into a trade? Also, are they automatically placed by some indicator or do you manually put them there?

Its all about the city that is shut down and zero productivity. Plus, the psychological scare could usually be a much bigger problem than an actual viral threat. Its kind of like the market. As you're saying, its all the people who are scared of missing out which is driving prices higher, and...

Just read this article on updates. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/06/coronavirus-latest-updates-china-hubei.html First we have Australia saying that the financial hit will be very significant. Since China is their number one trading partner it makes sense, but I think the US market in general...

That is a good point, and I do remember seeing that. But I'm not exactly sure if I believe it. Wolf outlined it pretty well where he said the luxury models, the S and X, were actually dropping in sales. Just looked it up from the article, and they dropped 29%. Then that whole China expansion...

Never looked at TSLA from Sierra, just through TWS and had those same issues as others were experiencing. My Sierra I just have setup to trade futures, although of course I could load up any stock as well. But TWS is more stock friendly really given that is where I have all my watch lists...

I read Wolf Street and his analysis is damn good. It simply doesn't make sense for TSLA to be this high unless you factor in magical future potential, but as a car company, no way. Granted, if they come out with their robo taxis and all those Model 3's come back to them and work as automated...

IB data feed. There is an option in Sierra charts to download every 5 seconds a very accurate bar, and I have this set. Without this, the spikes sometimes cause the highs and lows to be off by a few ticks, but with this option, the data is damn well accurate. I have also paid for the data...

I went ahead and compared my to IB platform and here is what I get. I have no idea how to get the pivot points to show the value, so I just have to do it visually from the chart, but it looks like S1 is at 9162.50, which almost matches my Sierra value of 62.25, and R1 is at 58.50 when I zoom in...

So just logged in again and it already auto-updated to version 979.3f Luckily I didn't have problems before, but maybe its because I just use the API and trade with Sierra Charts. This new version works just fine for me so far.
