    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    I don't care what anybody says...DTN IQFeed delivers quality data. Friday post 3 pm was a perfect example.....the ES/NQ futures market was moving at the speed of light.... there were violent reversals on big volume.....and it did not miss a beat.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    I'm using DTN IQFeed....very good so far. Never see a gap in ES/NQ prices intraday.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    Totally agree...my stops are too tight. I'm working on this......to optimize stops based on price action. I'm trying to use highest high - lowest low for the past 10 bars.....as a proxy for the stop range.....200 ticks per bar.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    Speed for one, intelligence for another. With these recent markets, a 5 pt move in a quarter second in NQ is typical. Damn it moves fast. I need the stop to be adaptive. That's what is missing with manual orders. Yeah, I can move them, but many times I'm too late.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    Hard stops in ES and NQ futures sometimes KILL me and sometimes they SAVE me. For me, the verdict is still out.....I think I need an automated system.

    But what about copper ?

    That's possible and an interesting spec.

    This IS the best thread on Copper.

    But what about copper ?

    Copper up on hopes that China will re-stimulate it's weak economy or that the trade war will be ending ?

    But what about copper ?

    I don't quite see the fundamentals for this recent metals rally. Gotta be shortcovering, right ?

    How much did you lose on the journey to becoming profitable?

    You must have reliable indicators as well as be tuned to the news-of-the day. Case-in-point: look at that last minute rally today in ES/NQ futures.....just amazing.

    How much did you lose on the journey to becoming profitable?

    DUDE: Victor Niederhoffer made a ton of money shorting options....until he "blew up".

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    WTF is AUDPY and CADPY ?

    But what about copper ?

    Copper should remain under pressure for the foreseeable future.... weak USA housing demand a biggie....as well as China's problems.

    Long SP500 after it rose the previous day has been very profitable, however...

    Equity curve is a disaster after year 2000. So much for that strategy.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    However, the markets are not very predictive....so this move doesn't make sense.

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    This is a MACD sort of set-up....no ?

    Long SP500 after it rose the previous day has been very profitable, however...

    Tomorrow should be 1 example of this behavior. Up then ?

    Interesting.....let's see the backtest results of this strategy.

    What to do with my life?

    Definitely when playing the ES and NQ Emini game....

    The Northman Trader....

    Great story actually.....The one big trade did it for him. BTW: I love the reference to BMW's being junk. They WERE back in the mid-late 70's. I had two of them !!
