    Free month $299 ends today at 4pm

    If this thread is intended for your trial members and paying members and not for shameless self-promotion aimed at the ET community, why not just post it in your room and leave the rest of us out of it? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    Help with my trade management, see picture

    Clearly, you should backtest to determine the best possible exit methodology. However, I would be very careful attributing a 3000 pip move in the EURUSD, for example, to your signal. How long do you give a trade to still be taking credit for it? Seriously, every chart timeframe has an...

    PureTick.Com LIVE Trading Room Invite

    The simplest thing would be for Alex to post statements of his own profitable trading. That would silence all the non-believers. Profitable traders have no problem posting their profitable statements to prove people wrong. As much as he has been flamed on this thread and others, you would think...

    Large Lots

    Even at the institutional level it's best to split this kind of size up. You can split it up using the same liquidity providers or different ones, but I would try to push $100,000,000 order size through regularly, it won't be effective anywhere that I know of. Size of that magnitude is...

    When there is nothing more to learn in life, its time to go

    Not sure why anyone bothers with advice. The mere fact that you feel the need to come on ET and make such a post about yourself says it all...

    Problem Understaning the EL Code

    I believe a subscription account will do. If not, TS needs to resolve that quickly as subscription accounts are paying customers.

    Problem Understaning the EL Code

    FWIW, if you have a question about EL code, it makes much more sense to ask the Tradestation community. You will get a much quicker and better answer. You can find the forums here: https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Main.aspx Best of luck!

    Position Sizing

    If you're looking for volatility-based exits, try using Average True Range to determine your stop size (in points) and then determine your contract size on a percentage of the account basis. For example, ATR = 25 points per bar. You determine that a 2 ATR stop is best for your system...

    Forex hedging journal

    Not trying to be a prick or rain on anyone's parade, but this thread is a waste of time. Because there are 2 currencies in every pair, there is no such thing as hedging using different pairs. Hedge, at least partly: Short YM Long ES Not a hedge: Short EUR/USD Long GBP/USD I...

    Forex hedging journal

    1) It is not hedging. 2) If you want some protection, take a smaller position rather than paying extra commission. 3) There are 2 currencies as part of every pair. There are days when GBP/USD is up 1% and EUR/USD is down.

    Forex hedging journal

    This is true but there's a reason they don't teach Advanced Calculus in 1st grade. You've gotta start somewhere :)

    Forex hedging journal

    I'm going to try to explain this to you real clearly, and please try to understand to avoid looking dumber than you already do. There is no such thing as hedging in forex except to do what forex-forex mentioned. When you are long GBPUSD and short EURUSD, you are net flat the US Dollar. You...

    Turkish Lira Carry Trade

    A) I have not misused anything because I never said "devaluation." B) You turned the conversation into a debate on Turkey. Congrats on your nationalist pride, but you need to relax and quit being so defensive.

    Turkish Lira Carry Trade

    Are you also insane? If I were you, I'd consider psychiatric treatment. When someone mentions the risks of a particular trade, it does not make them a racist. If I'm long the JPY carry trade, does that mean I hate Japanese people and think they shouldn't be part of Asia? Take a pill, for...

    Can you break a fundamental strategy?

    Put your TV on CNBC and watch the ticker at the bottom. That will give you all the symbols you'll ever need.
