    Wed Apr 11/18: No live trades yet. No, definitely '1min chart trading'. Tuesday the NinjaTrader AMP/CQG data feed stopped updating around 6:35am pst, very disconcerting. I've had such problems before trading fx, which had tho a much lower threat of loss. Currently trying to resolve my...

The UniRenko was set to 1 1 7 , a combo...

    Is there a benefit to paper trading?

    Hey Grantx, yes you're correct about streaming bars - no 'time' involved. However, time bars drop or rise instantly so it's the same problem isn't it, chasing a trade. That sort of thing was surprising me with the Trump-Kim Jong-un exchanges the past couple of weeks, dumps out of the blue...

    USD Index to bottom around 90 ?

    I no longer trade or analyze the currencies, just update the charts once a week.
