I looked at that high as well. Also just noticed we have ISM numbers coming out at 7. I'm going to keep the brackets on.

Target 1 hit +5 Target 2 trailer hit +3.5 Currently flat looking for next setup now Orders at 59.25 long and 74.25 short

Agree, people did have trouble grasping the basic concepts. 2 reasons for changing, the first system was setup for possible automation (which I learned was not possible at this time) Second, I'm interested in learning more from the new setup Is a lower r:r better or worse for the...

Perhaps you had posted about 9/18 before, but I had not seen it until a few days ago. I may adapt to that methodology as well, for the time being I am using 2 full stop outs. At this point we are just barely into day 2 live money. I would at least like to give the strategy 100 trades (or...

Got filled lets see what happens

Just got back a few minutes ago, I meant short 76.25 not long. Should have entered into short at 76.50 if I was here (using 3:10 and 3:15PM EST 5min bars). I'm going to see if I can get filled, just waiting for now with the short order.

Have to step out for a few hours, so I will just be leaving a long at 64.50 (had a long at 76.25) until the close.

Well I missed by a tick. What if I had entered and got stopped out by a tick, then would we also say it was a mistake? System is down after a day and a half, no big deal in my book. Anyways, pulling orders until after we get the beige book headlines. I see the orders and volume are...

Regal's system is quite valuable, just do the opposite! I just happened to be opposite short (already) and look how its done.

Target 1 hit, moved to 1267.25. 3 contracts short remain. Stop moved to slightly above BE at 1289.

Long 1271 2 contracts Stop 1268 Target 1 1276 Target 2 1281 Full Stop out New long waiting at 1263.75

I am waiting for 81.25 from the 9:40 and 9:45AM EST bars. Plus I was also waiting for factory order news to come out. Now using 83 from 10:20AM EST 5min bar Also Beige book later today, I thought I just heard that on CNBC.

Ok orders bracketed at 1281.25 and 1270. Let the waiting game begin...

Nope unfortunately not, I was asleep at the time. I would have hit target 1 on a long. I'm going to wait until after Factory Orders at 10AM EST is released before I setup the next trade.

There are going to be trend days and I'm going to get beat up. However, I have not yet done anything like the 9/18 ma to guard against this. Currently I just use 2 full stop outs. Its funny because both Pekelo and I both thought it was a trend day (up). If that was the case, we would not...

I just did above. Previously I was papertrading the system.

As I go to sleep here I don't see a good reason to place either a long or short entry as both are nearby and don't wish to place both. Todays results (totals) 3 full stop outs -3 points x 2 contracts 1 target hit +5 points x 1 contract 1 trailing stop hit +5.5 points x 1 contract...

Pekelo - No worries, feel free to post your trades. I would love for you to keep a scoreboard of r10 trades. I'm going to be posting a scoreboard generally at night when I'm doing my review for the next day.

Full Stop out. Next long entry is waiting at 1279.25 Edit: Filled Full stop out. 2nd full stop out in a row. Stop trading until 1 hr after close.
