Hi Handle, I agree. Trading involves different kinds of trade-offs. We all have our likes and dislikes. Usually, I do not like an outside bar to be the entry bar. I often wait for the outside bar to close, and then decide whether it is short enough to be a signal bar. For example, a...

The one-minute chart of crude oil looks really boring now. GC is a little better.

Four years ago, crude oil was much more volatile. Many traders set their first target between 40 and 50 ticks. The following data may be irrelevant now: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/what-is-your-win-rate.222119/page-2#post-3209473...

Hi Handle, You used to look at the five-minute chart of crude oil for EMA bounce, reverse divergence, etc. Since you did 22 trades within three hours yesterday, I guess you trade solely off the one-minute chart now. Right ?

In science, the results of one lab should be reproducible in other labs. It is also true for automated or program trading. I wonder if this is true for discretionary trading. By the way, what is the definition of discretionary trading ? Just my two cents

Hi Handle, I agree. However, there are two exceptions: a) I usually do not place any order five minutes before or after a major news release. b) Crude oil often acts strange between 14:00 and 14:30 PM Eastern Time. For example, an ascending triangle was formed around 14:18 PM today. I...

Hi Handle, I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the chart.

Wake up early, and try to trade crude oil. Greet with chop for the past hour.........

I believe that most data providers have not switched to the new protocol yet. CQG is one exception. According to the first post of the following thread, it seems that Rithmic feed has not adopted MDP 3.0: https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=13813 PS: Sierra Chart has not...

You may consider switching to a different data provider: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/rithmic-confirms-continuing-publication-of-globex-market-data-trade-messages-a-la-fix-fast.291697

Hi Jas, IMHO: Friday was not very bad for CL trading. It seems that the basic TA stuff still works. The problem is that if CL chops around for an extended period of time, I get tired easily and lose focus. Then, I tend to miss setup after setup. Need to concentrate better and/or take...

Well, at least two of the winning trades of the OP involve ascending/descending triangle.:p

We may talk about different setups. Attached is the chart for the descending triangle.

How about wait for the pullback to the breakdown level like you did few days ago ?

Hi, I thought you would have taken the descending triangle trade about one hour earlier ........

Hi, Besides ES and ZB, are you trading GC after release of the FOMC statement/minutes ? It seems that gold futures is very sensitive to economic news. Thanks.

Hi Handle, Are you still trading crude oil futures before 6:00 AM Eastern Time ? Today, CL began to chop around 9:30 AM. If I start at 9:00 AM, there is not much to do ................

Hi, You seem to like ascending/descending triangles. So far, they are your bigger winners. Just my two cents.

Hi, How do you define order flow trading ? Are you looking at the DOM or footprint chart ? http://footprintchart.com/ Thanks.

Hi, It is not rollover week yet, but it seems that crude oil futures has been very choppy recently. Usually, I start at 8:00 AM Eastern Time, not very comfortable with the low volume and wide bid/ask spread before that. I am considering starting early like Handle123...
