Thanks. No it is not what I have based what I do off of. I learned of it in a similar manner that you mentioned here. I do not neccessarily believe in BB reversals because more often than not there is continuation. I am simply seeking a point a which I can (with a seemingly high...

Didn't think I would probably trade today but after a slightly profitable note trade, I figured I had some to play with. 5 trades 5 winners for 1.5 points = $51 Not to much to say here 4 trades were for .25 and 1 for .5 - just quick in and outs. Looking forward to when this slowdown...

Seems to me I've seen this in the past, but can't seem to find it again. I really only use the BB as a visual confirmation that the price may change, the 5,2,1 is more important to me and then the price confirmation... I used to try and buy or sell a penetration of the BB, but didn't...

This morning moved ALOT more than I expected it to move. And that was my problem - expectation! 7 Trades 6 Winners (85.7%) for .75 point = 3.90!! :confused: L1 .50; Great setup, perfect execution - it hesitated hit .75 bounced down and I jumped out and watched it proceed north without me...

I use the instant entry on BT. I try to short at the Ask and Buy at the bid. Once I hit the button the only option is to cancel befor a fill and reenter, If I decide to do so. The bracket is set based on the fill. If I get slippage, the bracket will still do 1 point stop and 1 point...

Another slightly down day. I was real slow on the mouse - missed a couple fills and then chased a couple down. 8 Trades 5 winners (62.5%) for 0 points = $38.40 Suffice it to say that I was paranoid again today. I moved my target to .5 due to what seems to be a lack of interest in the...

Days like yesterday almost always lead to day like today. I stuck STRICKLY to the rules and only made 2 trades. Was distracted on what should have been the 2nd trade and to paranoid to take what should have been the 3rd trade. 2 trades 2 winners for 1.25 points = $52.90 S1 .75; Short...

Not a good day for me! I kinda thought I should not trade today due to some outside things but went ahead and did anyway. Wrong decision. 12 Trades 5 Winners (41.7%) for -4 = -$257.60 I missed a couple of fills, trying to get late entries and I jumped in a few late and lost. Anticipated a...

Yes Major problem with BT and the notes and bonds. I haven't found any of these programs that properly trade the notes and bonds. There is one program that is still being worked on called Futures Trader that is about as close as you get at the moment...

Really felt leary abolut today -0 after having the problems I had yesterday and the really slow movement. So as a result..... 4 Trades 4 winners for 2.25 points = $93.20 L1 .5; Long 906.26 It looked good, but bounced twice off of 907 twice so I bailed. S2 .5; With the little fakeouts...

This thread was one of the reasons I asked about starting a scalping thread - Scalpers Progress. Of course it can be done. I started my initial system at 1 point stop and .5 target. That was consistently 80% and better. Last couple weeks (while posting) have been doing 1 to 1 due to the...

I don't have anything to post for the day as I started the computer to a number of problems and after cleaning the reg and reinstalling BT and other stuff I finally got it back together and am eagerly anticipating tommorrow. Golly and today I had all day to trade! Make 'em pretty, Chris

I would venture to say that the policies put into effect by one administration are carried over into the next. A new president does not get in and say I want to do this and it happens and the economy then immediatly reflects his policy. It take 18-24 months before big changes effect the...

Not so - I run 3 instances at the same time. Simply copy the entire Qchart folder to another as many times as you wish and create the appropriate shortcut so it points to appropriate folder. I run 4.2.1.7 and 4.2.1.16. You can also simply run the install twice (or more) and install to a...

I did more anticipation than I wanted to and the bad thing is that most of them worked out!:p 46 Trades on the week 30 winners = 65% 11.5 points for $575 Paid $220.8 in commissions For a profit of $354.20 For 65% I spose that is ok, But I would really like to see this stay above the...

Today just felt bad for some reason - 3 losers in row will do that to me! 12 Trades 8 Winners (66.6%) for 3 points = 92.40 L1 .50; Was trying to get 92.25 but ended up with 92.5, when price passed the 92.25 I hit the limit button and it must of changed just as I hit it. Then did the same...

Larrybf, Yes to both. I started out with a similar system on the bonds and notes, longer time frame though. Works nicely. I started watching the the ES due to some input elsewhere and setup the chart with the same stuff, and just shortened the time frame and profit target. I DO enjoy this...

Sure, but entry prices are pretty easy to come up with - it is the same as the previous bar high. You are correct, 3 trades did not touch the BB bands - when I trade without a touch of the BB bands I am looking for a continuation of the trend. If the price bounces off the 20 ema and breaks...

This is what I am looking for for the first 1 1/2 hours. 5 trades 4 winners (80%) for 3 points = $126 Missed the first trade - tried to get it one tick lower when it showed; no fill - Then tried to get it at the proper price and still no fill - teach me, won't it!:) L1 -1, loser right...

Def, is there someplace I should go with ideas like this? One thought on the Bracket idea - would it not be possible to set the bracket to ticks instead of points. 1 Point on ES is ok, but the bracket for ZB at 1 point is a little on the large side. Thanks, Chris
