I finally got the Ninja trader charts. The way it calculates ADX is different than the way IB does....not sure why. I entered a short trade at 16.25 and got stopped out at 18.25. In the Ninja charts ADX > 40 but in IB charts it was around 28.

Thanks.

I'm trying to create the DMI indicator, how do I get the DI+ and DI-. I was able to get the ADX though.

I am going to add one more filter to it, Keltner Channel 65 with 1 std. This should act as a confirmation of the trend. Basically I want the entire bar to be above or below the channel for a trend confirmation. Had I done that today, this would have kept me out of the first losing trade.

Exited at 14.50 and after few minutes entered short at 13.25 and stopped out at 16.25. I was down $120, up $10 and now end the day down $50 excluding $20 commissions. The last trade was a mistake because ADX was >75 and I've seen reversals more than once at this level. I guess live and learn.

I got stopped out of the last trade at the very high tick. The chart is up and there is a nice short set-up. Sell 21, stop 24.5.

Stopped at 32.25. total loss for the day $120. Need to look at alternatives for charts.

Sold 29.25, Stop 32. IB chart is down so will keep the stop here, without trailing.

Possible short set-up forming. If the next trade is a loss then I'm done for the day.

Stopped Out -$60

Long 34.75, Stop 31.75

Net $160 after commissions. Done for the day. 3 trades 2 winners 1 loser.

Stopped out 79.75

Bought 81.50, Stop 79.5

Possible long-set up forming here. Need to get the MACD to get above or very close to 0.

I'm using tinypic. I will look into that after the close.

I have a full-time job but work from home so I can look at the market while doing so. I have a very small account about $5,000 and am trying to get about $200 a week without taking big risks. I have more money that I can put in the account but would rather see how this works for the next 6...

Stopped out 76.50. Total Profit of 2.5 NQ points.

We are looking for short opportunities only unleass we see ADX>40 and DI+ => DI-, and the MA and MACD. Stop moved to BE.
