I haven't really used it but it does seem very useful to determine a trend day - ammo's uvol/dvol charts are great :)

It depends on everyone's current position/environment they live in. I am a contended man, and will be ok with 2000 USD a month to live. What I aspire though is 100,000 USD a month - and God willing, I will reach there before end of 2013, purely from trading income. This is only for...

You look at VIX futures ? January is the right one to look ?

The kind of unbounded TF you are talking about will work well in single names (like single commodities), but when you are talking about indexes (composed of 500 names), then back-fill is to be very much expected. I have a feeling (untested) that "over-time" taking profits after a 60-80 point...

You think we are going to reach 1280 in today's session itself ?

long 1271

out 1269.5. In the hindsight, my stop should have been 1268, for a 1.5 point loss. Lost 3 points on this trade. Well!! Will go long if we go beyond 1272 again.

I know trend following says dont close the position till uptrend is done. But looking at ES from wider perspective (not only TF), don't you think getting out of the position around 1280 would be a good idea, even if you don't get any signal to close the long position.

yes lescor, we all are waiting for that update to come :) Cheers

I second that - a public acceptance by OP would be much appreciated, if he wants other forum members to respond to his comments. Also, no more rudeness here. I can understand that OP is too sure of himself - maybe because he is < 24 yrs old and little to none trading experience. But he must...

short 1266.5

Electric, Thanks for your quick revert on this. I will be following up to see how EAs have been performing. It seems to me that you are a unstoppable machine as far as looking out for FX EAs are concerned. In your experience, how many EAs (both freely publicly available and private...

Appreciate your contribution. Can you please post historical backtesting results for the individual EAs and a combined equity graph for all 4 EAs together. That will really help!! Thanks again!

Interesting to hear a different perspective. As you said, I think the reason this practice has been profoundly negative for your account vis-avis profoundly positive for my account is primarily due to differences in our holding period and leverage. I am highly leveraged and have holding...

out 1274. Well sim profits :) haha

sim short 1275, target eod, stop 1280

Actually Ricksaw Man you should post a bit more detailed info rather than just saying 77% win rate. That will be great. Josh - how much data you plan to use to test this ?

Thanks for chipping in :) Thoughtful opinions are always welcome! I have thought about it but I am yet to pin-down the differences between personality of ES and 6E. I know 6E also backfills at least way more than 6A for example. I think primary difference between 6E and ES is that ES RTH has a...

Thanks Mav for your thoughts. I am primarily a price-action trader (the way you define it - looking at what a particular market is doing, vis-a-vis other markets). Having said that, a lot of research that I have done on intra-day price movements has been done on Euro so its tailor-made for that...

Maverick, I consider myself more skilled trading FX compared to trading ES. Its clear that I am better-off trading only FX and I should stop trading ES. However, I have persisted till now thinking that I am not profitable trading ES because its an equity index and it has different kind of...
