    Scalping Strategy based Expert Advisor: High-Frequency Trading with Key Features

    This will never work for me. Why? Because the OP is on Ignore after the 2nd post of these highly skewed BA system. They should be on the YouTube hall of shame. Anyone with real experience looks at these like cat videos: entertainment, but there are SO many holes it gives you a real belly...

    GM All: No Trading this AM. I broke my CQG connection after I did some house keeping by switching two log ins between machines. It caused a situation of double log ins, created an error of "too many log ins" and is now locked. Best Trading to you all on: Jackson Hole-Powell Day

    Really need advise on my trading system

    This! The fact you loss such a large amount and it was too much of your total net worth indicates two things: 1) You have a LONG way to go on risk management. Risk Management is not just some buzz word, but about 100 things one must and must NOT do. It will take a couple of years to get to...

    I'm intentionally annoying all "Price TA" doubters with this post.. :)

    More like "what the market did".... is what you are showing. It has NOTHING to do with TA, PA, or green eggs and ham. It has to do with being able to work in real time because, simply no one has a time machine. It is not like some SciFi movie with a watch that takes you back in time 2...

    GM All: 8 trades mostly shorts 50% net -9 ticks. Got one bug fixed not syncing with broker, but still working on another where the orders are delayed.... Update: 10 trades 60% net +32 ticks. Done for the day. The "stop at goal" code is not working AT ALL. It can't even find it's current...

    Are Elliot waves too subjective to be objective?

    Just a tool. But you cannot build a house with one tool. Anyone who claims they will build you one with one tool is um....BS.

    2.5M considered wealthy

    The raw number is for people who are not wealthy yet and have not thought through the details. Every wealthy person knows these things and lots more. 1) If you did not earn it, you will have a hard time keeping it. Simply because you probably lack the skills to manage it, which you would have...

    GM: 2 trades 50% rate and net -7 ticks. Algo ran away from the super ball bounce, as it should. Just hanging now and noticing a bug in NOT reporting daily PL that only happens live.... Short 28.75 Out manually +23 ticks. Haha, and the shoe drops.... And another bug that I suspected that...

    Are Elliot waves too subjective to be objective?

    Is it subjective? To answer that, just try to code it up in real time, not after the fact. What you will find is there is about a 10:1 ration of "waves" that behave in "Elliot waves" that are tradable.

    Master Fibonacci Retracements: A Quick Guide to Spotting Market Reversals

    Please give us a break. Draw 5 lines and one of them should stick, which means a 20% correct rate, and the need for a GREATER than 4 profit factor, ... to break even. If you want some love, show us how to know when Fibs don't work and why, so we can filter out the ones that do work...

    EOD update: 12 trades 66% win rate, net -9 ticks. As it turns out, I think the Algo was not connected to the broker the AM. I was adjusting stuff late last night and I think I forgot to re-connect.... Still smoothing out the workflow.

    How does a edge disappear?

    Unless it is discovered and not worth pursuing for various reasons. Reminds me of crabbing in Puget sound. Often we would go out and find the commercial guys out there with 200+ pots. Our tactics were to go closer inshore where the larger boats could not navigate and use more bait per pot...

    GM All: 5 trades 80% win, net 15 ticks. I am liking this put the all my efforts into the code and let it run. The Algo has much better discipline than me at 6:30 AM! Edit-Update: Two more trades. Was long for that drop before the pre lunch move up, so ended up BE. Caught a small scalp...

    GM All, 5 Trades this AM for -17 ticks. 3 win 2 loss. Live trading. All the bugs seems to be addressed for now. Except I left the volume up on the trading machine and the thing was announcing entries and exits. So much for sleeping in....o_O:):)

    Oh Crap!!!! No thanks, Figured out the issue. USER ERROR! Had an older version of the Algo running on a window hidden in the background. It was sending messages "Trade more" and the newer intended version also sending "your done". Interesting that the two are not separated by a wall and...
