    Trying to transition from full time job to trading. Having trouble with discipline.

    What you have lost must be a big money even though it's not in a relative comparison. I don't know why people try to run before they learn to walk. The best method is that until you get to the stage where you can make consistent profits or at least to the stage where you don't lose to the...

    Looking for Wisdom

    Yep, I have worked at a global research company as an intern. They had one branch director and one manager and all others were interns. The Indian manager was a bitch, chatting all day along on the phone. We had to make international calls to collect information from foreign counties. She didn't...

    The last green bar signals that next bar is very likely to be a bearish bar. I think after the last bearish bar, the next bar might be a bullish bar again assuming that 190.00 is not a resistance level.

    How do you read the NEWS?

    I now read news before I start trading on FX. I am bilingual so I read newspapers in both languages to get some ideas of current sentiment to certain currencies, and when I look at the chart during European session and my indicators confirm what news articles/and or technical analysts say, I get...

    Please recommend HFT research groups at universities in US/Canada

    Usually, such research involves studying the behaviour of HFT and their impact on financial markets rather than actually developing or simulating their automated trading system. imho, you need to try trading first if you're interested in developing automated trading system

    After all, since I use 1 minute time frame, I am a scalper too. When I was studying some old ET threads, some members made negative comments on scalpers. But I kind of understand now because that time, some traders were not used to fast tradings. There were many times I left my position open...

    I see ...so after all, the tick chart represents order flow . Practitioners use different terminologies to academic researchers... we just call it order flow. I remember nodoji who was active until last year mentioned the tick chart and she was saying that she does not monitor volume much and...

    Need somewhere to think out loud,

    I hope you recover your loss on Friday! Today, EURO was not easy either. Too many spikes, it was like running away from earthquake and the trading range was so narrow too. I focus on A/D and moving average and 1 min/1Hour time frame to escape all those dangers. I think that both A/D (in terms of...

    Sell algorithmic /HFT trading ideas

    Oh, yes? then bring it on :) I am just kidding. No, I don't believe it. Maybe you're talking about some easy research with lower frequency data. Mine is testing almost entire date range of a market at millisecond frequency. Just like trading, it takes time to develop research skills too

    Backtesting is sooo confusing , anyone got a good guide to learn how to do one?

    Hi, Backtesting the daily FX data isn't good enough, especially, when you don't have volume data. You need to backtest intraday data as well. if-else statement will do in algo. If you have a strong motivation then take some programming course as well as Finance research course. Since you have...

    Your holding period must be really long then? and with your skills, your performance must be really good, and surely beat some index performance... When holding period is long, do you also change your stop loss level with changing resistance/support level to ensure you don't lose your gain?
