    SMAs - what are they good for

    This is why I hated indicators like MA with infinite settings. I mean why 50 ma not 45? why 200 not 180? Then you have the smart guys using 13..like wtf. 13?!?!

    SMAs - what are they good for

    I used to trade the moving average where i would buy below the line for a + slope. Vice versa for sell. The idea is that the moving average represents "value", jsut like a vwap. I think the slope is more significant than where price is relative to the moving average itself. Keltner is basically...

    Well, coming to the final days of the year. I'm still trying to test the updated algo against partial fill. It takes time to do because you can only get partial fill in live trading. And most days my TP are complete fills. But going forward, I'm basically going to trade just the MES for the...

    Saw Pax's videos and learned a bit how he trades breakouts. Pax method is pretty much trading the ORB (30 secs) using at min 4 cars. He would set the stop just under b/e at a few ticks out (he calls it paying for the trade) and re-enter. After 2 stop outs, he would scale down by half. After 4...

    Actually since my profit is set, it's similar in structure to a long condor or short butterfly play.

    I suppose this is like managing risk through position sizing. Even though there is s a stop/reverse, there's technically no end to the cycle. I'm basically going all out on a long straddle play every single day. Or is it a short butterfly play? lol It's neutral I know that at least

    MNQ would fail when volatility is high and price just keep taking a stab on both sides of the breakout range. MES would give far higher survivability due to lower margin requirements. They make more or less make the same amount if you take into account contract spec/commissions. I should...

    My job is holding me back

    Isn't it possible to just submit any accounts you want to the auditors? You can really create a "collage" of sorts of performance to show you made money and just omit losing accounts, especially with a noncontinous time periods

    That's my point bruh If he did it within 6 months, it's all recency bias. But doing it for at least 1 year consistently...he's got something 3 years? I'll be his student

    I'm thinking probability distribution incorrectly. I think it's better to stick to one market instead of trading multiple markets. The chance of consecutive losses will be pretty much equally distributed. Basically with multiple markets, I'm "hoping" i don't get hit on across all of them at the...

    Apparently the concept of "partial filled limit TP" escapes the dev i'm working with. Current EA cancels everything as soon as TP is hit. This is a problem when I have partial lots executed and leaving me with open trades. This example of MCL where it executed 3 of 4 lots and left me holding...

    I'm pretty sure AMP the broker doesn't really contribute to the speed of the execution.

    Your thoughts about index-futures brokers with low intraday margin

    You trade with Ironbeam? What's their RT comm for ES? I hate when brokers don't post their commissions publicly

    Today was pretty a close one. I used 5k as starting to test thinking it was enough. But i was hanging on a thread with the margin on the chop. And it always break away like it usually does after chop. The trick is to just hang on during the wave storm. I think i need to set aside 10k to be...
