Cool, might I ask what software and OS/window manager you are using? If that is hand rolled, kudos.

Nice trade.

Took a quick look. Different perspective looking at USD/JPY: edit: My failed contrarian ideas here ignore the basic advice of letting winners ride (in the short term, referencing the original idea to short 6J up to 10.350 which would have worked fine). And, I am thinking back to...

Probably a good idea. Nice break. Futures will gap nicely at this rate. Still curious about 103.728 (5/22/2013 high on my platform). Yep, this is why I was kicking around the stop limit idea as being better, which would not have triggered.

It's in this thread, hasn't changed much. Can you mark up a chart and show us your thoughts?

Not an active trader (just a horrible active trader, trying to just stick to longer term ideas for my live trading) but curious to see if such an idea would work: stop limit buy trigger 9.690, limit 9.680, one triggers another, stop market sell 9.660. original trade still not yet...

hah, yep, nice for you being IN the winning trade :)

cool, let's see how it works. already half way to the stop 9.665 level. edit: 3/4 the way :)

Yep, not taking the trade :) Would like to be far more selective going forward on live counter-trend trades. edit: The risk to reward looks decent here based on 3rd grader analysis. (Would be targeting at least 80 pips or more). But, the overarching concern is regarding a devil spike...

Was going to post to move stops to ~19.69-19.70 or maybe take profits below 20.20, because the breakout was stalled. Since no call was made in real-time or in advance, this retrospective intent means nothing. Failed.

Was considering to go long here 6J 9.685, won't take the trade in real money, though. Risk 20 ticks (stop below 9.666).

Reviewing my ill-advised YM long -- lesson learned, trust the big picture basics, build from there (higher timeframes first). Don't fade breakdowns of clean consolidation: If we get a rally today, looking for Russell futs to hit 1110+ for a short entry. edit: not likely to occur, it...

Your journal inspired me, if only to motivate me to write some code to auto-post my live trading fills to ET. So, thanks. Just concerned that your journal is not realistic, not because I believe you are dishonest with your fills if they are a few minutes late, but because the emotions...

Watching 1775-1776 here for this overnight dump. Interesting interactions as nikkei tests lower channel and yen futures retests breakdown. edit: 1774.5 if you're into the horizontals

I don't have an opinion one way or another. Was just trying to make a (hopefully) helpful suggestion. Whether you have something to offer a firm or not, you would know better. I have not read through your posts enough. But going out to make money consistently via job/consulting or whatever...

May I make a humble suggestion? If you are too under-capitalized to trade your own account, why not go out and work to save money? Just trying to help.
