Due to smaller tick increment? P. S. Sorry for coming back here, I am not going to pick up any questions that cause Surf's emotional reaction, have my own journal for that purpose now, only find discussion with RR and some other parts of it very interesting.

Thank you, LM. I will keep posting it in the same fashion so that all trades are presented without "gaps" and with time stamps.

Nice? Certainly not. Evil? Neither. Market is neutral, somewhat like an ocean or other element (in the philosophical meaning). It cares less about you or me. It's our business to either learn to use it or perish if we are too naive about it.

Nope, none today. It's pretty relaxed trading for me (terror only around the entry and when in the trade :) ). Usually there are 1-2 signals a day, some days none. Quality over quantity and I only trade 2-3 first hours of US RTH (then it gets late for me and I become sleepy :D ). Goal #1 is...

Nope. Want to just post summary for periods as long as it will make me interested in doing so. :)

It's cyclical and mostly volatility related. From pathetic 2007-like years to amazing late 2008/2009. Since about 2011 volatility in currencies started to decline again. But will sure be back again as well. Other than those volatility changes related to macro conditions I don't notice much of...

Yes, core of my approach is range breaks.

Thanks. I should check out if C2 compatible with my CTS login provided I simultaneously trade several individual accounts with it.

Thank you, BMW. It does and I arranged the fields in a way to show what I want to show (basically everything except accounts, size etc.).

Changing my broker in order to prove something to Surf is a bit too much don't you think so? :D As for definition: TA for me is using historical price charts for trading decisions. Charts with price and volume, DOM. That's all. No other tools.

A few wrong claims to correct: 1) Goal is show if TA works for me or not. Maybe it won't. It's really hilarious how you started to defend even before I provided any serious arguments. :D 2) Already posted regarding statements, if you have any doubts, why not make $10K or put me down...

Yea, we certainly have some huge egos here in the thread among us. :D As my goal is not their satisfaction, please expect my posting pace to slow down to basically posting daily/weekly/monthly blotters and answering some constructive questions maybe. And whoever doesn't like anything or...

Notice, I didn't claim I prove TA works. I said time will show. I trade solely based on TA (which is - candlestick price charts only to make trading decisions). Maybe I prove the opposite and epically blow up here, who knows. :D

Immediately after ISM report. As for the charts, I'd prefer not go off-topic and direct the debate into particular setups/patterns etc.

Thanks for the comments, Mark. Sorry I didn't mean to claim nobody before proved this fact, I am more than sure many did and I know that you do it every day with amazing consistent results (outside of ET). Just wanted to present my version of the history so to say. :)

Oracle, I'm not much into ES and CL, my toy for the last months is NQ. Thinking of coming back to 6E part-time as well and adding ES as a backup instrument (sometimes NQ doesn't have a good signal and ES does).

To stop the nonconstructive and off-topic discussion on the blotters I suggest the following (RM's idea inspired me): if anyone from the regulars (obviously not some suspicious aliases registered in June 2013, lol) doubts my blotters or claims of the trades, you are welcome to publicly...

I have never blew up in my whole trading career. Simply optimized my time: instead of sitting 10 hours in front of the screens I now spend 3-4 hours in total and mostly in the evenings which suits my schedule better for family reasons. Also NQ moves better lately, because low interest rates...

Done for today, have a good day everyone!

I appreciate your openness but will not reveal it as openly to show total volumes, CTS username ( :eek: ) etc. You obviously have the right to not believe what I post, no problems about it from my side. :)
