Good luck. This Saudi business (or better, this Turkey/USA/Saud business) has me worried. Such a short-term trade as you're describing would have me up late. :confused: (We're down 0.30% at 21:45ET -- I'd feel better if we were down more, and flattened or climbed towards Monday open. I'd rather...

Shill much?

Two thoughts: ☼ Not knowing the details of an algorithm is a trading disaster waiting to happen. The market over which that algo was formed simply does *not* last forever, and if you're not monitoring, and *knowing*, when your expectancy goes to Suck! level, then you're going to lose not one or...

A "runner" is an accident -- *not* something to be relied upon -- and if you aim at it as your primary trading target, you will be bitterly disappointed. And then, broke. Tick-scalping requires a minimum ATR of 2-3 ticks (and 4-5 is better), such that you can get in and out, all day long, and...

Yeah -- that was a typical Cramer punt. 2012, Trumpidiot was maligning the FED for "sparking inflation! It's terrible! It's gonna be massive!" Wah wah wah. And now that he figures the winds have shifted to the other tack, Mr. Weathervane has himself shifted, 180°/100%. (For 30+ years, that guy...

Sorry, but that's an entirely glib assumption that assumes $0 long/short in your portfolio, and constant liquidity. "Holding" is a fact of life. Back to the OP, "Holding long" means you're a'wishin' that the market recovers today, whereas "Holding short" means...... you're wishing the market...

Organizing your systems to separate QuoteMonitor pages would stamp that page's Order Ref. on each trade made, which would allow you to collect/manipulate it without further bother.

At least once a month, there is a big loss or gain to someone, based on a change in market valuation. That story though, is painted (if stippled) across *all* of the shareholders -- value gone from their net liq., because of a market turn. No one bought the other side of that -- there was...

You can stick your nose in at $8 Ask and you'll see one-or-both sides tighten up quickly. (I always think of it as pissing off somebody, somewhere ... "Aw! Whatter ya doon! I'm sleepin' here!" :rolleyes:

Don't know what you're terming "execution data", but I have spread/market data that I match with position data on a QuoteMonitor page that I scrape to a .csv as needed. I don't have separate accounts trading the same positions, so I can segregate with separate .csvs. I copy the data into a page...

If I recall the S&P earnings, the market should be about 2350. It's still kissing 2750 smack on the lips. So, what I *think* it should be -- long term? And what *reality* will show me -- tomorrow? Gonna be different things. I'd risk $16 going long right now (2745), exiting with a stop at 2729...

I like your hypothesis -- and appreciate that it's a popular one, but I think it conflates the Fed Funds Rate as a causative precursor to a drop in equity valuations, without a corresponding sequence in data. For example, inflation is absent -- and so, the changes in both the Fed Funds Rate and...

Okay -- deep breath now: You do realize that in any market trade, both sides enter voluntarily, and so expect to be better-off post-trade? *Somebody* is making money. It may not be immediately apparent, but..... to opine "It's impossible to make money..." ignores the other side of the trade.

So, to translate: 1) You find that T/A works for you. 2) You sell on purple arrows where mysteryblackline turns up. 3) You buy on black arrows where mysteryblackline turns down. 4) You contend that your system outperforms the lowly MACD. Fair summary? :D

The lowly MACD would've made you a boatload of cash in 1929. https://www.tradingtips.com/indicators-that-spot-a-crash/ Maybe you have an issue with that. o_O

So, you are trading without trailing stops... :(

No. :D

I've noticed that whenever there's a top or a bearish breeze or whatever, and then the sun comes up? The market goes down. I think we should ban the sun coming up. :wtf: :D

Your post is probably *very* meaningful to you. But to the rest of us, we're kinda,.... "So?" o_O Posting what you would use as entrys and exits of the RSI would be much more meaningful. If they exist. Not to put you on the spot or anything....

And importantly, it's not so much about *predicting* "where the market will go next" as it is in *accepting* what the market has done so far, and then placing a righteous STOP where the market has demonstrated that a true turn/trend would hit. That's it! No magic! Measurement + numbers =...
