Scalping_My Way with ACV
- Thread starter VSTscalper
- Start date
I will NOT be opening the room on some schedule. If I have time - I may or may not open the room. If I decide at some point - that I want to be a Sponsor on ET - then I will open the room on a scheduled basis. For me - if I can offer help to traders - and I have time - then I will open up a room.
I really haven't checked lately - actually not really sure if I even want to do that. Hell - I am in my 70's now - have some big clients - CTA's and CPO's - along with some High Net Worth traders_investors - that I have known for many years. What is fun for me know - trading and coding - could turn into actual - that dirty four letter word - "WORK" - and that is not what I want to do personally. However - it has crossed my mind at times - but I personally don't want to be tied down to having to be on a schedule - if that makes sense.
How could one capitalize on what you do, on your terms, with benefit to you in the bargain, with no responsibilities to you?
I keep seeing this thread a lot at ET. Why can't VSTscalper just put a video on YouTube so everyone can get a glimpse of what he is doing? That could attract a lot of traders to his ideas, a lot more perhaps than what is here on ET. IF he isn't trying to sell anything, then he could do that plus you wouldn't have to figure out when he is opening his room. He would just have to put in a link to his YouTube video. IF he is trying to sell something, then I guess he would not do that because then he wouldn't have the chance to hard sell using his voice. (Therefore, the need to have a headset when you log into his Zoom room or whatever he is using). As far as being a sponsor here at ET, he is already getting free advertising with this thread that pops up a lot.
easymon1 and FortuneTeller,
Contact me when you have time - I will bring you into Skype or Zoom - and show you my favorite way to trade - nothing to do with my Algos. Go to page 32 - #318 - see the pictures. I have been trading with this setup for many years - love it because it is so Simple - and as I have said in the past - it helps me keep my old brain working. Since I started this thread long ago - I use it just to show what I am doing. If traders like it - fine - if not - doesn't matter to me - I am NOT looking for Clients.
I do trade with the Algos also - but to be honest - I have more fun with my older trading method.
I have mentioned in the past - I do NOT use Indicators like Moving Averages - MACD - Stochastics - or any other Indicator. A hint here - I only look at the Current Bar - I do not care what happened previously. My Algos - break the Bar down to One Tick or One Point (Point on Multicharts - all bars same size - High to Low - may be different than other platforms). So the Code - sees what is happening - on the Current Bar ONLY - then makes a decision on whether to Enter a Trade - or NOT. Then the Code - manages the Trade - based on how many Ticks or Points I want. And - there is NO NEED TO BACKTEST - although I can do that if I want. The Code is complicated - to make it Simple - if that makes sense. I live between the Main - MicroSoft Campus - and Google Campus - in the Redmond_Bellevue_Kirkland - Washinton area. I have Programming friends at both - some who I met at Meetups. These guys are into AI and Machine Learning - and have taught me some things - and now I call my Algos - my Dirty AI - lol. Not perfect - but the Algos do what I want them to do.
When I have time - I will let just about any trader into a room - especially show my older trading method - it might open some eyes. NO Damn Indicators needed. Even at the beginning of my thread - I always tried to help other traders.
There are a few traders in the forum - I will NEVER help - they are mostly just BS - never really help anyone - they usually just make smartass remarks about other traders.
I use Skype mostly - but Zoom usually in this thread. I really don't want to add another way of showing my screen. I only added Zoom - because it was becoming very popular - but I still prefer Skype - even though it acts up at times. With Zoom - I just add the link here.
I will open the room for awhile - in case someone wants in - need a Headset_Mic - required. Without talking - it doesn't work for me.

The results show the Algo - Entering a trade with 20 Contracts - with Multiple Exits. Say a trader is trading it Discretionary - he or she could use the Signals to trade Less contracts per trade - and Scalp - or do a Scalp_Trend combination. The point is - the Algo can give Discretionary Signals. Personally - I trade Discretionary - a Maximum of 2 hours in the morning - when I do trade. Many traders want to go Full Auto - but even if I did - for my personal trading - I would still watch it like a hawk. There are many things that can happen on Full Auto - and MOST - are BAD. All I care about - is trying to hit my Net Daily Goal in Dollars - but I have to do it within 2 hours. At 2 hours - I stop trading. For me - it is all about having good Rules to Follow - and actually Following them. There is a saying - "Rules are made to be Broken" - which I find Total BS - and that is how traders get in trouble. I always follow my Motto - "Discipline plus Simplicity equals Success".
Discipline - is all about VERY - Strict and Specific Rules - that you actually have to Follow - Win or Lose
Simplicity - keeping things as Simple as possible - not overloading a chart with a bunch of Indicators
Success - my feeling - without the first 2 - there is NO SUCCESS
Believe it or not - I Code - based on my Motto above.
