The bottom is the better sine wave and the top is better momentum. I have stopped using these for my day trading, in favor of using basic support & resistance with order flow. I'm not really using these for swing trading either. But I haven't removed them from my charts yet. I'm still...

I finished my blog series which was the subject of the first post in this thread. I haven't been posting trades because I don't feel like defending them against attacks. Now that the journey to profitability is complete, I start a new journey to slowly increase my size so that my income goals...

Have you looked at hosting your apps on a dedicated server? You can get virtual dedicated windows servers for around $50/month.

Thanks for the excellent review of your experience with OQ. I'm curious if you've looked Ninjatrader so that you could give a comparison? Ninja may have a few of those limitations as well (such as not having the account balance) but I think most of those are possible with Ninja. The Ninja...

All the acronyms they use in the description makes me really suspicious of the rest: Pretty funny really.

I collect data for market replay all the time, I haven't noticed any performance impact. I have a quad-core with 8 gigs ram. If I miss a day I can download it from the ninjatrader server. They are files so you can copy them to another pc, back them up, etc. People used to trade market replay...

One great feature of Ninjatrader is market replay. I'm currently working on some complex order book analysis and this can't be backtested. But I use market replay at 500x and I can run through an entire session in 5-10 minutes or so. This has been very valuable for me to test & tweak my...

Is OpenQuant still alive? Seriously I haven't heard anyone mention it in over a year, until I got a notification that this thread was updated. I've programmed Ninja v6.5 and ran automated strategies for about a year. No major problems. Now I trade manually with NT7 but it's rock solid...

Henry - good question! Exchange membership costs around $150k. You can lease one for around $1500/month. And since I trade both Eurex & CME I'd need two! To be honest I'm just learning to scalp, today was my first day doing pure scalping with real money. Normally I daytrade and take...

Thank you for your question. If the market is balanced I want to fade the highs & lows. If the market is imbalanced then I want to enter with the move.

ES swing trade stopped out with a few ticks profit on second half. I think 5 pts overall. If I see some more buying I'll try another long. Scalping on the dax & bund done with real money this morning. Was a bit slow due to the european holiday on monday. Still looking forward to...

I tweeted my real money swing trade real time today: Banked half at 2.75 pts and I'm holding the rest. It may get stopped out but I'm giving it a chance. Here's what I'm looking at:

Ok, let's see your sim trades showing you made money. i have a hunch you're not going to be able to post any.

This is from the other day. Account starting with 7 is real money, S is for sim101. I won't post yesterday's because no one would believe it. I did tweet one of the trades real time via Twitter, got 4.5 pts on ES (real).

Your post is very representative of the reason that most profitable traders do not spend time here. Every time we post something we are attacked, insulted, called a "shill", etc. I have to ask myself why I bother. There is very rarely an interesting discussion to come out of sharing...

Scalping this morning on the dax. This is on simulator, will be going to real money very soon..

I started my daytrading paying $8 commissions with Fidelity That didn't last long before I realized that it'd never work. And I opened an IB account. Well the truth is that didn't work either for a couple years but at least it wasn't the commission killing me. ;) There is simply no reason...

Only one trade today on ES. It's rare that I do that, I guess my discipline is getting better. On the Bund I had a few:

Interesting suggestions. I've debated on the first one, also known as "time stop". I have had trades take forever to hit their targets so I am undecided. For the second, my target is based on a multiple of my risk. so as soon as I have that I want to exit. This is for the first contract...

Some thoughts on yesterday's ES trades: 1. I won only half my trades. But I ended positive. How? My winners were bigger than my losers. That’s really important for me. 2. While it wasn’t a good day, I got 2 pts trading one contract (trade 2 was actually two different setups...
