... and this is the main reason I scalp -- I sleep like a small baby. :D BTW nice death-spike after the numbers.

I did so a few times pre-NFP numbers, but not normally. It was big moves, but too risky for my taste - although they were successful. I prefer trading several timezones - asian session is many times my preferred period.

Well, I had some ok shorts today, but I'm very careful with regards to tomorrow's numbers. On the other side - EuroZone numbers have not been able to move the € any as of late ... Anyone else been thinking of atomic clock (Stratum 2) coordinated trading applications between traders ? Now...

Interesting defense on 1.2255 on the december contract. Some expected a little larger budget deficit, but it came in around average consensus. Might see some USDJPY cross pressure too. Short biased EURUSD today makes for a more interesting tomorrow. :) Seems like the defenders of 1.2255...

Yes, looks like a vague directionless market when considering a short timeframe. I just did a quick'n'small short myself, but I guess any direction within the range works ok. Tomorrow is anticipated - and perhaps we'll see some more action towards the end of the GLOBEX session - or maybe the...

Some reports, and maybe the european close will help some ... [14:26 GMT 13th Sept] [EUR/USD] looks to have found a new pivot point, 1.2250 and with both economies involved seeing key data tomorrow the recent 1.2225-1.2285 range should hold into the European close. As trading struggles to...

I don't like losing more than a day's profits - so 8-10 ticks is the limit when scalping - although I have no qualms in stopping before if it seems there's no way back. However, if I see something that also smells fake I might stay - most times I'm right about fakes and 'runs'. I was hoping...

With regards to your previous question: yes, I use quite short timeframes for scalping. I see you also go for intraday moves -but on a little larger scale than me. Otherwise I see many similarities to how I operate with what you posted above - but this can be the case for most traders here...

When I see that I'm not getting my trades right with regards to my target - I wait for the first opportunity to get out with some profits. Today was such a trading day for me - so I made pennies instead of what I was expecting. However, I don't use strict stops - and also am guided by the...

Some european closing profit taking - we probably will see something similar on US close - and it's friday after all. So all in all some volatility with pushing 1.23 could be expected.

Yes, 1.28% or roughly 80x leverage/gearing on each contract (worth USD 125 000).

Yes, and the "nice thing" is that volatility sometimes is at least as good or better during overnight sessions ... so there is no end to the possibilities. Just bumped the introductory information provided on CME fx/currencies - here ...

It's around USD 1600 per contract. Using IB.

Well, we saw some good volatility after the US markets opened, although it seems to have cooled off a little now. It seems to be testing range bounds quite actively. I trade EuroFX futures and there are some negatives to trading very large size since you will get reactions to size with the...

Chances are that trade numbers on friday will be very bad given the high oil prices, but this might be priced in already ... Most big rides seem to come when the movement is counter-intuitive at first. Then the movement gets pushed a long way and stops triggered along the way exacerbates the...

If we get some good volatility it could be quite easy to trade the speech, also remember the beige book after his speech and friday's trade numbers which might be quite bleak considering the oil prices of late. It was a nice ride down from the asian session, and also several opportunities in...

Here is another ok resource in the form of a free book on AI Programming with Java and more: http://www.markwatson.com/opencontent/ I forgot it in the other list; anyways there are enormous quantities of content out there. :)

0) I wanted a "swiss-army-knife" of trading platforms, as well as advanced features like neural-networks of many kinds, and other methods for pattern recognition, and then finally a method for making simple rules-based "reasoning". The reason for this was partly curiosity, and then a wish for...
