I am sorry to have to say this sampson but you are clearly a moron. I also apologize to all morons out there. First teddy is kiwi. Then teddy is tampa. When comes teddy is woodie? When will you go back on your medication. Woodie must be finding you very embarrassing :(

Sampson, Without going over the top: your points say more about you than about me or Teddy or Tampa. I have been invited to Teddy's room and will probably pop along during HSI hours (for those who have asked "where I am") although I find that trading the HSI and posting/paying attention in a...

LOL. Thank you Magna. Good to have something really funny on a Sunday morning after all the disasters recently. Hope the same applies for the survivors and that their lives improve in the near future. :)

I would agree with maxprofit. I was going for 12 and 30 point trades with a 4-7 point stop when I was trading euro last year. This reflected the european morning sessions swings but would also be appropriate in the US morning session. If I had moved to 30 min bars I think I would have...

Spread can be as low as 1 point but typically 1-8 maybe average is 2-3 .... it tends to widen briefly when sellers and buyers reach a critical point then shrink back. Also can be very large in runaways like this afternoon.

But if you actually think about it Mark ... In the earlier threads I found that was the one accusation that was hard to defend the group against. Most of the misinformed accusations can be refuted one at a time but its hard to deal with: - its a cult ... once you look up the definitions...

GCast, This journal is in fact a work of art. Well that excludes the bits where people try to inject facts about Woodies behaviour, possible facts suggesting that Gio never posts a trade entry, and opinions about how much e-signal is paying Earl. And jimmy said it best when you criticized...

LOL You guys have really been going at it! I like the theory that Tampa is really a ghost writer for Woodie and the purpose of this thread and the blog is to increase the number in the room. This was an approach I once took for the pleasure of winding up the now banned dbphoenix. WTG...

Hey Mark, Sampson, Stop making this a serious thread - if we get into a truth fight then its going to get ugly pretty fast. Tampas approach is humour at its essential best ... edgy, based on some real events but not necessarily constrained by them, and just downright fun. Woodie told me...

I am not planning to knock Woodie here as my ego and my sense of humour had as much to do with my banning as Woodies ego and his irritability. But Sampson, I am afraid you come nearer to needing a reality check than Tampa does. Like Nkhoi I also enjoyed Gio - but as Gio knows there are some...

Holmes, I similarly have a system that was great (on US and European indexes) and although it hasnt gone into a serious drawdown has reached the point where the risk of one outweighs the rewards. The profit driver is now too small for the risk of catastrophe and the last two months have...

Although I built a more cynical view of the e-signal cabal than you have I will say that the SierraChart software is a gift to the room. Nice thing is I don't have to support it anymore. I got heaps of value from the room including the joy of pxxxing Woodie off almost as much as I pxxx...

:D Don't you just love the clever use of colour! Another Green Day fan.

Make sure that Sierra is set to Connect, Retry and Reconnect.

Yes you will get 7 points slippage on limits ... its amazing ... you will also get positive slippage on stop orders and market orders. A very cool if sometimes scary experience. Dont get on the wrong side of the trend ... it can do 100pts in under 2 seconds. This index is nitro powered.

I use the same setup to trade hsi. The problem will be the reset time for IB TWS. Go to Configure/Misc/Auto Logoff time/ and change the setting so that it occurs after the second HSI session is completed.

Lets get back to tampa's trials and tribulations. Much more entertaining than speculating on disagreements and why people leave chat rooms after a time. A chitchat thread could deal with that if anyone really wanted to pursue it. Apologies Tampa ... the journal is yours :)

LOL Bali. I had some fun. Woodie just didnt like someone expressing a different opinion on esignal and sidewinder. I did think that if anyone could get away with holding a "non-approved" view it might be me. Not quite humble enough of me. :D But back to the thread ... I would love to...

Exquisite Tampa. I look forward to further discussion of your trading but enjoy the clarity of your picture of marital harmony. Tell me: how does the wife respond when she sees your esignal bill?

HSI-200412-HKFE .... Sierra version of IB symbol. And the person who suggested not blinking was right :-)
