Did I miss the red flag conclusion ?

Recently. I laced a trade that was very well hedged. This meant that I was not really in a position to lose or win. I think hedging takes out a lot of panic and worry. It takes out some of the emotion I find. Interestingly I found that I knew ahead of time that price was surely going to in a...

MAESTRO, You mentioned previously that you do tests on subject in Toronto, do you test a variety of different types or levels of traders? Also the system mentioned. Can you talk a little of quality of the data feed, if it comes with it ? Thank you. I found (or refound) this...

http://rt.com/news/bitcoin-currency-cyber-attack-394/ A dual attack gox and insta wallet. It wont happen again I am sure. Fool me shame on you fool twice ... well Im a fool. But not a dent on price ! solid action !

Just out of curiosity, what are you trading based on. price alone, volume, level 2 time and sales ? Do you use any drawings Or is it purely based on nothing ? Also is your stop loss and exit based on a system ?

If the target is 100 times the stop loss. it is clear that the stop lose would be triggered more often. I would like to say that one in 100 trades would reach the target but I am a bit hesitant. The same way, a target 10 times or even 2 times that of the stop SHOULD hit the target 10 and 2...

my loosing trades during the time were consistant. that is to say 30% of them were loses (with a negative balance after fees ). If I took a subset of the trades, say the first 25% of the trades. the number was still 30% loosing (with a negative balance after fees) the same for the other...

I looked at my trading record during a bad period. I assumed all my loses were due to commission or slippage. Nop. the fees represented 15% of my losses. Where did the rest go? could my slippage be 20 times my fees? I wanted to except that fact over what the numbers were saying. I...

Continuing to variations of the doubling up, here you mention one. There is also another way to go about it I was playing around with. As i understand scaling in means adding to a trade, I assume a wining trade but this may not be so. Instead of adding funds to the trades. you can also...

On the subject of position size. We may not be flipping a coin and unless you have flipped on personally it is better to not have any preconceived ideas about it or relating it to trading. I always wonder how consistent max draw downs are and if there is a black swan that can be avoided...

The part circled is full of ugliness, you see (going from left to right) a progression occur. bars get smaller, and develop have smaller bodies 2/3rds of the way in. Then they get back to normal. also during this time we see opens and closes of single bars and neighboring bars are have a small...

On the subject of not having more then 3 or 4 of these in a row. I am not sure of its statistical significance in CW math. Also when do you start to count if you do not yet know if you are in such a situation. Maybe look at where price intersects the MA and if you see that it is done at...

Well if you want to remove some bad trades at a glance I would suggest testing a few possibilities. To start with maybe a filtering system. filter out ranges: Seems like the problem occurs around ranges for obvious reason. So filter them out. I am sure there is an indicator for that. If...

Another startegy that I used when I first began was to buy stocks based on an fundamental assumption that should take effect in a few days. If it happened I typically saw 20% gains. If not I had noise (a little down or a little up) the noise trades balanced out one another or were...

So its all about opening your mind to new ideas. Again maybe it is just be but this can be done without biofeedback. You get rid of your believes and replace them. but with what ? a willingness to be open. this is a sea of infinite possibilities. You have done nothing but brought yourself...

Thanks Ill try to do that monday.

Does dukascopy give accuratet Time and sales information in a streaming format that can be logged and pasted to excel?

Lets assume that money printed is held by people. It can be paid back but the interest is missing. how can you fix the problem ? You take the money that people have been hoarding, or steel it. and bring it back to the economy, this creates demand and sales and jobs. now you do not have to...

Also, there are yellow prints, I looked it up, turns out they are transactions done between bid and ask. Oh that makes a lot of sense. 1% are done between bid and ask. OK fare enough. Just out of curiosity, how can I do that ? why do I bother ?

the idea of precious metals vs bit coin are not that different. Especially when it comes to gold as it is not used for anything really. (10%) So when we take out the 10% what is left ? Just an idea. But that idea may be wrong. We are not on the gold standard any more. Situation has changed...
