Hi Saviola, 1. How do you choose which number of ticks on a tick chart to use? This is based on pure observation. I just try to find the one that fits my trading style. 2. Do you only trade in the morning? The euro fx only till around 11:00 AM CST, the indices somtimes in the...

08/04 Hi Guys, I have done my first trades using Trade Navigator together with my account. It seems it is working fine so far. Orders are easy to place (the same as with paper trading) and the platform is fast. I will still stay with my 1% risk for the moment for a while. Some...

New Idea ! Someone cam up with a good idea and asked, why I am not posting trades from a real account. Well, all trades are 1:1 from a real account. But he is right, why not trading from a real account and showing the results? Am I running into problems with Elitetrader? If so, I hope...

Trade 07/31 I was lucky catching a early trade today. Normally I don't trade before 7.20 AM but this one did look too good. I wasn't that lucky with my second trade, got stopped out at b/e after moving my stop. Happy trading, Andy

Trades Hi Guys, when I post my trades like this, is this enough? Please let me know.
