Made a mistake calculating entry and exit levels for today. Difference entry - target and entry - stop should have been one fifth of dailyATR(5). After friday's close my chart showed 141 pips for daily ATR(5), so I posted a difference of 28 pips (141/5) between the levels. However, after...

Hello, I'll try to post some signals for the EUR/USD future (current contract). My objective is to test the underlying strategy (which i won't disclose) without being able to cheat myself. I don't claim that the signals will be profitable. The following is valid only for the upcoming globex...

ATSTRADER: I have to disagree here: mechanical trading, which is the opposite to discretionary trading, can be automated, but can be traded manually, too (human being acting as "execution robot") So automated trading is neccessarily mechanical, while manual trading can be both mechanical and...

Well, I think TA can help for stops, too. What about this: input: stopfactor (0.5); var: stopsize (0), linerange (0); linerange=((highd+highd[1]+highd[2])/3)-(lowd+lowd[1]+lowd[2])/3); stopsize=stopfactor * linerange; if marketposition=1 then exitlong entryprice - stoprange stop; if...

OK, you got me, it's only a handheld. :D

I wonder why IB says they can't afford higher leverage than 50:1 for spot forex, while they offer much higher leverage for currency futures.

I recently noticed two IMO unnecessary limitations which prevent me from using orders the way I want to: 1. Only MKT and LMT orders can be used for conditional orders. I'd like to use conditional stop orders, though! 2. One can only attach orders which have the same size as the parent...
