Ya know how markets are either going up,down or sideways. Well, I think HSI only knows up and down. Now, I've only been following it a few weeks but there's hardly been any sideways chop.

Jeesh. Now it's all the way down to 14178 and counting !!

cover 14200 +34 Yes ! Finally got one of those explosive moves in my favor.

short 14234 let's see what happens here

Have you ever seen a bad car accident happen in front of you and then you slow down your driving speed for at least a week ? Well tonight, HSI made me think twice. I did not have a trade on, but in both of these cases (see attached chart) if your stop had been above the high of day with a...

I'm only doing 2 contracts right now. I enter with limit orders and have had perfect fills so far. Except when price moves too fast for me to even hit the enter button. Regarding playing with the trend, unfortunately, all I know is countertrend so that is what I have been doing. And yes...

Just an update. I have started to trade the HSI fairly regularly. I think it works for trend catchers and reversal players. Being that it moves so much, even the retracements are volatile enough to be a nice move countertrend. And if you're a trend catcher, well just look at a chart...

It was the JOT, jump on trend method. They didn't go in to any further details. They sure had perfect responses though.

OK, so if trading the method that uses the indicator for entry instead of the trendline break, here's what today produced so far on the attached chart. The trendline break entries would be negative on the day. (there are other filters to select the trades that are not reflected on the chart)

Being that I trade against short term trends using divergence from an indicator (and a couple other things) I checked out their method to see if I could pick up something. What I found out was that they would have the same problem as my system does during trending periods. During the...

12/21 trades Indicator Based Entry -7, 0, 11 Trend Line Break 0, 6 12/22 IBE 22 TLB 16 On 12/22, I took the IBE trade but only made 8 points, not the 22. Here's what happened. After price moves over 11 points in my favor, I will move my stop to 1 tick...

So here is 12/20's trades. I have something to figure out here. I am trying to decide which entry technique to use. One is entering on a trendline break. The other is entering on the divergence indicator's trigger line crossing. The trendline break confirms the divergence via...

I am PM'ing you version.

I have joined a futures trading room. I will be posting live trades in the room. I may not have time to post live trades here. I'll look for a way to print the trades from the room here though and do analysis with charts. If this is too time consuming or is not beneficial to me or...

Well, well, well. Guess what ? I am going to kick this journal back into gear again. I have modified the trading methodology listed in the beginning of this journal to produce better results. I have been using this live since 12/7. I will start posting here live starting tomorrow...

Good info ! I have checked these boxes. Thank you. So, if IB does it's daily reset (still don't know what time this occurs) it should connect to IB. But, I usually get a message from IB TWS asking if I want to accept incoming and have to manually click this. I have looked at the...
