Could you please re-wire my brain from there :cool: Hey you don't need to move the earth, just tilt it little bit more :) And meanwhile I can use some girls with small triangle bikinis here! If I traded according to my screen either short or long today, I would have made nice $$$ with...

I'm smelling an eminent run-up here. Edit: I should have written a run-down instead....

If it closes over 1.3340 then according to my daily chart and its trend indicator, the uptrend will be still intact.

I think after my trading today, I deserved drinking a shot of hydrofluoric acid! Edit: My short got stopped out at b/e then I went short again with -8 ticks against the system. Then I went long with the system. Are we going to see 1.35 today :eek: :confused:

This is the problem with discretionary trading. There is no 100% perfection. There'll be always emotions boiling. Some days when I make great $$$, I'm usually down mentally because I only made 50% off what I could! It usually creeps up on me that evening and effects next day's trading. Terrible...

I'll trail my short, it's at b/e now. Yes it might bounce from here but if it doesn't we might see another free fall... Edit: This is why I want to go mechanical. I don't want to make these top/bottom decisions and then start revenge trading with high leverage.

Tell me about it! I did that earlier today--several times! I was long at 1.3210 (March) and took profits at 42. Then revenge trading began! I suggest that you go and wash your face with very cold water :) Edit: I made a "proper" short at 78(March) and I will follow my screen/system. Now...

My average trade lasts about an hour.

Yes, there are no Jan./Feb contracts. Edit: We have to make you an FX futures trader too :)

I'm waiting for a short signal here too... Edit: I know that you add to losing positions sometimes. What's your tolerance limit (max stop you'll take) for scalps? The December contract still has higher volume.

Actually, you know it's all in the money management. Of course, it helps to get the direction right but the real key is position sizing, stops, scaling-in and out profit targets etc.. This is why, I might just make things really simple for myself and get the directional bias from the daily...

Yes, this is exactly what I'm thinking about. Looking at the volume and other factors important in the day. I'll tell the system to go long or short only. I'll also be able to change the directional bias. The important part is that entries and stops will be 100% mechanical. This should cut the...

First of all, I tested it for US session hours. New entries would be made only between 8:40-14:30 EST . If a position is open beyond 14:30 EST , it would be trailed until CME close or getting stopped out. In terms of money management, it will not take new trades after about 25 ticks total...

Nice job. I suggest you either quit trading for a while or use minimal leverage for the next week or so. My largest damages were done after periods like that.

Well, I had some nice damage done this morning. I put on a long trade just before shower before the big slide. Then I kept going on long with tight stops. The usual story, momentary madness leading to account damage. I'll start going mechanical soon, this will prevent madness like today and...

The December contract still has little bit higher volume so far but probably March one will catch up later in the European session. So far volume is 5000/4400 Dec. leading.

It's been a record day for me. I've been in an only one trade :)

I'm not going to use HO until they release the next version. I need the trailing stop capability. Let's stay in touch.

Max, you need to register for forum to download it. I got it running within 30 minutes. You can use it two ways with TS 8: 1) Use HyperOrder and include buy sell DLL calls in your EL study. 2) Use HyperOrder+HyperOrder client for TS and let it send orders without even changing your EL. I got...

Well you know, I wouldn't be surprised if I see 1.3550 nor 1.3300 later today in this US session:)
