When I let the breakout range increase per volatility as session goes, my probability for profit descreases and also increases time to profit. When I leave it, I get too many false breaks, but the TP hit rate is high. It's like you want to fix one issue and you end up dealing with another. You...

What a bitch MES is....

How bout those credit collar etfs? Global x is infamous for making many different ones. atm, otm

I also think futures being netting vs hedging forces you to use separate orders. If you're workibg with forex devs just make sure you specify that.

For December, I'm going to skip messing with overnight hours. It's just not worth the slippage/commisions. MYM and M2K are basically dead during those times, too many gaps, moving sideways. So I will just trade the 5 core markets (mes, mnq, m2k, mym, mcl) just during US session. I will also...

Can't argue with that. At least you eliminate one variable with algo

Yea that was another journal here on ET from 10k to about 100k trading just nq. That was again stupid and reckless. Those were pre micro days. Micro futures the best thing to happen to degenerates in futures lol

For fucks sake....

That's what happened to MF Global too right? Those guys using customer funds for their losing trades?

It was around 20k to 200k. Had a trade explorer on forexfactory. Not sure why it's gone now. But I lost most of it. Pure adrenaline trading eurusd. No way sustainable. Algo trading takes the emotion out of it. I really do enjoy it cause everything just boils down to stats ( none of these...

Month ended negative. Testing overnight hours contributed to most of this downfall. I think after 450 trades in shows that it's a workable strategy, but it has some flaws. Since December is a short month, I just want to spend going over these results and backtest few more scenarios. Mainly...

Yes I do. But I have a price 'filter', that kind of saves me from too many chops. Price can do 1 of 3 in breakouts 1. Breaks clean 2. narrow zig zag 3. expanded zig zag Again, this is why you just don't trade at random times. That's why i like index futures, it's easy to know when to trade, vs...

I just have few beliefs about daytrading gained over the years 1. ev=avg win x win% - avg loss x loss% If you can make this to be positive say after 100 trades executed methodically, you might have something. 2. Breakout is easier than mean reversion. Breakouts just mean price expansion from...

Considering that it is ES, most likely some reverting to mean approach. 2pts is just 8 ticks. You probably don't use stops, or if you do, very large one so not to be swiped by noise. If you do breakout, it's similar. Take 2pts during large volatility, maybe off the 1-5 minute opening range...

I can probably figure it out if you share with us a typical day chart with the indicators/lines you use. Dont even need to put executions on there.

For whatever reason, can't find this post in virtusa's history. Otherwise I wouldve linked it. So saving the post for documentation purposes/ That's AT LEAST $3.6mil of a standard 10k account in 9 years (which i think is minimum to trade the ES). He claimed he did more than that in that pic...

Johnarb said you made 1000% return in 10 years which you claimed is a lie. You posted you beat BTC in the last 9 years on 4/26/21 which is > 36k% .. We're not moving from this subject bro. We gettin in deep now

Made it around 9 years...that's about 36,000% return at the time of posting That's virtusa's performance unless i'm reading that wrong

You said you "beat btc in the last 9 years", that was posted on 4/26/21 I checked the chart. So you're saying you beat this BTC performance at the time of posting?

It is high. You can make up the cost in emini in less than 1 tick. But you need 2 ticks in micros. "then just trade for more points" argument is besides the point.
