where is it headed ?? 1000 tick chart

sorry i meant in terms of ES trading as in points 0.75 to 2.25 risk.

which of these languages would be suitable for complete novice in terms of coding and also easy to code with other platforms. currently i use TOS and MT5.

Yes the customized indicator is so far very effective in entry and exit signals both. But sticking to the exit signal manually is very hard, as when price fluctuates towards my break even, i tend to exit. I am not complaining about it as i am still making profits but i am little displeased as...

I am sorry if i was not very clear on my posting. I am not blaming my emotional factors for trades not going in favor, as i have a stop loss mechanism in play that takes me out of the trades if i am wrong. My conflicting emotions that are a hindrance to me is in regards to profit taking. Most of...

i use stops based on my ball size. If i woke up on a particular day with brass like balls i don't use stops at all. If i see shrunken balls that day i use tight stops. On a serious note its dependent on what you trying to get out of the trade and also how is the market sentiment ( you can get a...

i was thinking about running an automated strategy on one account and use another account to trade manually myself. And compare the two after say 3-6 months to see which one has more shortcomings. and then stick to the one that is less stressful. If the difference is not too great then use...

are you talking manual trading or automated trading ? What is the risk reward ratio? Do you use support or resistance or just indicators? How many trades do you take in the RTH? Do your stops get hit more or do you reach your take profit target price more. how many signals does your trading...

yes i think i will have to break everything down and then see if its even possible to automate it.

ha ha that part, would be really complicated, i had a website that ran on ruby on rails, and i did what you mentioned and i was never able to make it work so i had to pay another developer just to insert a few codes. which i thought would be easy but i think i am too old to learn it, even though...

Yes i know one month is very short time, but i have been busy trying to better off the emotional aspect of trading. I was thinking about automation part just to ensure that my emotions don't come into conflict with my trading rules. If i could take myself out of manually baby sitting my trades...

Currently i am manually trading ES based on signals generated by my customized indicator. I am having a very good run for the past 1 month. No red day and my win % is around 70%. Even though i trade around 40 contracts average on a day, i feel lot of it is over trading, where in i exit at a...

today was a repeat of yesterday but with very narrow range. Only good for short plays for me. As usual over traded and lot of cancelled order as market was not trending to my liking. Today was not stressful and getting some satisfaction as i getting to point where i am able to manage my trade...

today was not easy, had couple of losses that was managed properly still. calling it a day.

Maybe after considerable time infront of the screen and understanding the market you will be able to calculate the odds and probability factor like you do in poker. But you will have to sacrifice time and money both to get there. Atleast 2-5 years to be consistent and understand the market and...

allrite now i will call it a day for sure, the trading bug did not let me go so i stuck around, Today was a very good day, not just in terms of money but emotional aspect. 1. felt very relaxed. 2. No stress trading as everything was managed properly. 3. stuck to my trading style the longest...

1 its been a month a noobie ( but for past 1 month did not have any losing day). 2 No formal training, but am a quick learner,pretty smart in terms of probability. ( not disciplined enough trying to improve) 3. lost a lot in terms of money for me ( around 30K in 3 years on/off), but i don't...

looks like a range now, so far its been a blessed day. i think i will call it a day. only traded 45 mins today.

Sorry it should have been win %, the avg profit trade is still lower than avg loss trade. That is what i m trying to improve on. its 2:1

today was not a bad day, had some losses early on but later in the day recovered and made good for the rest of the day. today win-loss ratio dropped to 61% win. but average trade profit increased by quite a bit. few mistakes i made, being over confident and averaging down were big mistakes along...
