Automate. It validates the system's rules. You might find it is not as solid as it appears. Which might reveal that those target results are also not valid. A Sisyphus situation. Why do people do things manually when there are modern easier ways to do it. It is like the Monty Python skit...

Below in red are areas that are problematic with this simple "strategy". Where are the "not the zones" or "not places to trade" is MORE important in this "example". The Support-Resistance (supply-demand, by OP) does not take into account break outs, overshoots and multiple waves. Anyone who...

Searched the program, searched the Optimus forum, Searched ET. Searched under the rug! Does anyone know how to set ANY of the panels (Portfolio, order or history) to show the daily P/L? I.e. How to show the cumulative P/L for the day or session? All I see is the net PL column, which I assume...

Done: 14 contracts RT +419. Time to start the weekend :)

10 contracts RT for +520

Exactly this. You can try all sorts of variations, but you will not know which to use until you can see how it works out over time, i.e. many trades. Variations include: Stop at boundary + XYZ amount to avoid a "shakeout". Sell XYZ percent at the boundary as a loss mitigation. Reverse at...

Done early again: 13 contracts RT for +507

Just putting in my Daily line sheet abbreviated results: 11 contracts RT: +503. This is just a repository, and a solution to not bother the wife with the "results. Done early today. Had new code in today. Shakedown run done.

hi MB, I'll just dump my daily results over on that thread. for me it is more a close out the day routine than anything else. Besides I just rebuilt my Win 11 machine and like rb7, like to keep it as clean as possible. That way I can clean my phone of What-App too.:D

So you are changing to FT trading, because you hate your job, and are very excited and very nervous. Sounds like a fair amount of emotion around the decision. It does not doom you, of course, but it sub optimal for starting trading FT. FWIW, if trading where more like your Surf equipment...

Time frame is arbitrary in the true sense of the meaning of arbitrary. So all formations that based on a particular form of a candle shape carry that burden of "arbitrary". So yes you are correct. Good observation. To learn them, look at some time frame, say 5 minute, and then look at 10...

This is sort of a silly question. (No offense intended.) It is like asking did someone win the Tour de France. As if knowing that will somehow help you do it by drafting on them to the finish line. There is so much more to trading than P/L. How you do it matter way more. Is it...

The issue is not if FJ can make some money. The issue is can FJ lose money, imo. E.g. can FJ swing multiple contacts live, and take a good size loss. then another bigger loss, and then a third? People ask "can I make money", but if they want to be a trader, the question is "Can I take losing...

Yeah sure, Virtusa is "just lucky". The only way I can make sense of this, is if the definition of "luck" is Opportunity meet Preparation. The guy is so prepared, such that he has been over prepared enough to know how much preparation is needed. And he can see the opportunity clearly because...

Or the MacOS, Windows, Linux arguments. They think in absolutes, and cannot figure out which tools are best for which jobs. We all know how well that works out in trading. :D For the OP. There are signs that are required but not sufficient. E.g. Trend has to be there to start with...

Just in case anyone is confused (not MB), this wiki is a pretty good summary. https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/How_Scripts_Work#Order_Execution_Priority It is sort of buried in the Wiki. :confused: I adjusted my signal to be "early" so it is: if "bar closed" and...

"I hear you can just walk along the stream and pick up nuggets of gold" ** Just buy any Meme stock and use Robinhood and your cell phone. "There are guys selling gold maps. You just follow the maps that are sale." **Just watch YouTube gurus. They say anyone can make money". "I can just buy...

Probably the best route is to rebuild your lists. Export the list from Ver 7 into a file and read them into the new version as an "import". If it fails. In the new version, create a small list. Export it. Examine the file format. Then modify the old version's format to match the new...

Really Really, re-read what Concinnity wrote and try to understand what he said. Study it, pick it apart, and re-read it. He was ridiculously generous in his assistance! Each one of those things represents MONTHS of progress. Don't mistake actual critical thinking wrapped in experience...

And you are patient too, @virtusa. :thumbsup: But of course, it goes hand in hand with being a good trader. One could probably correlate the attitude in posts with the posters trading P/L. In lay terminology, it is a flat learning curve with a dash of attitude often associated with a lack of...
