and hold through a 50 tick drawdown to make an extra 10?
Should have FLIPPED, BABY, FLIPPED!!! Where's Schizo when you need him?
(Nice trade, btw)
Ha ha, I did flip on the fbo of 90.40, but it was a much smaller profit
(thx, btw)
I hate these wide bars. Makes me start using the 1-min chart and I become confused.
I am posting here because I have more respect for this thread (and obviously its participants) than any other I read on ET.
I have 5 minute ES charts up on my computer from both Trade Station and Sierra Charts. The SC charts are powered by TT data. Sometimes Trade Station delivers the tick faster and it reflects in movement on the chart and at other times SC posts the move in the bar faster. There are spells where TS shows me more ticks over a given bar than SC and other times it is reversed. I find it particularly troubling that many ticks in the course of a day "go missing" from both providers.
I know that this thread has a number of PA traders. Do I simply accept this up as one of those quirks that can't be accounted for? Because TS has higher rates I am loathed to give up my other broker to switch to TS. I have been watching Al Brooks' webinars and that is how I see TS charting. Since the bars can start and end at different times and different prices I hate the thought of me buying or selling a breakout that others see differently. Clearly I need others buying as well.
Is there a gold standard for data and charting? And if the gold standard is very expensive is there a silver standard that is 80 or 90% as good? As I begin to do more scalps in ES these questions seem more important. Again ... I recognize this thread is not designed for this nature of question but it seems to me some of you will know.
