today so far...

As I have yet to reach consistent profitability, I feel rather unqualified to make these comments but it may help to offer my perspective. The point of exit, i.e. "stop" is when you see that the reason for entry was invalid. One tick above the FTT might be appropriate but not if it sneaks up...

I'm probably being a bit dumb here but trades 2 and 3 have the same entry time but seem to have a different entry price. Same for trades 4 &5, 6 & 7, 8 & 9. :confused:

Good pt :) I was assuming EST but it clearly isn't. My apologies.

Just began to look through your trades but I cannot correlate any of your entries and exits with my chart data. For example, on trade 6 at 12:51:33 I have a hi of 1451.50 amd a low of 1451.25 on the 12:51 1 min bar yet you entered at 53.75 . The discrepancy seems rather high for just data...

so far...

Good luck with the journal. :)

I have watched str/squ for several days but it makes no sense at all. It may that esignal cannot display it as required or it may be just me. I am taking probably 5 or 6 trades per day. Most of the problems arise from misinterpretation of the situation. I enter at the wrong moment and run...

Regretably, sim results so far are very disappointing. Annotations are fine but translating this into consistent profitability, even on the sim, remains elusive. Numerous small losses mean that most days end up negative. At the end of each day, the chart looks clear enough so I'm not sure where...

Has anyone made any sense of str/squ on esignal?

I previously had an ohlc equivalent which did show the extremes then I changed it to histogram. I am nowhere near ready to use this tool so I am putting it on the back burner. My sim results continue to be very disapppointing.

I cannot see the correlation so far. I am wondering if I have this histogram set up correctly.

What a weird day. Managed to miss the pt 3 at 10:30 and then made too many mistakes the rest of the day.

For esignal users, here is an efs that will plot str/squ in histogram format. After loading the efs, right click on the study pane entitled "... Add symbol", select edit studies, in the Value box for Symbol1 type: ym #f - $INDU - 68 The value 68 is just an example offset and should be...
