Trade 3 : 05/10 15 min : failed Triangle Breakout Bought 1084.50 Sold 1083.50 Result -1.00 Exited at Market at 16:55 (05\10). It did not make sense to hold this position overnight because my stop was so close. In order to let this trade play out according to my rules, it...

Trade 3 : 05/10 15 min : failed Triangle Breakout Bought 1084.50 Took long enough to get a signal. I am holding overnight to let this trade play out. The question is: Do I leave a GTC 3 pt stop order or do I re-enter another stop order at the beginning of the regular trading session...

I quit a good IT Job to trade fulltime. Lived off savings for a year only to become a break even trader. 1 month ago I got a job as a Valet working 4 nights a week. The girlfriend isn't to happy but I could careless. Now that I am working there is no "Rush" to become profitable (less...

Trade 2 : 04/29 5 min : failed Breakout Bought 1144.25 Sold 1155.00 Result + .75 My Initial stop was 3.75 pts. My 2 bar trailing stop kicked in as described by my rules. If I were to be using profit targets the area to exit was as plain as day. After this sample set of 20...

Celebration is just outside of Orlando and I believe it is owned by Disney. I'm sure you could get a good deal inland in Florida. Living near the water is another story.

This system could have potential if only used to trade economic releases (ie. 10:00 am reports with a 30 min opening range). I am sure there are other ways to tweak it to generate a profit. fan27

Lets say I have the following system: I buy\sell "n" ticks above\below point x. I have a target of 1 pt for ES or 10 pts for YM. My stop is the same as the target. If target or stop is not hit in 2 minutes, I exit the trade. Here is my question. Would it be more beneficial to trade YM...

TASR.:D

Has anyone tested a turtles style system on intraday data of something like bonds or SMH?

Don't forget about Ben Bernake. He says that all we need to do is spend money and everything will be fine. Could you imagine telling your kid: Now junior, as soon as you get your allowance spend it is fast as you can. Am I missing something here.:confused:

Excellent Post.
