any nikkei traders still out there?

wow! you are right! how did I miss this? I am trading the opening 1 minute range!!! I set up the IB indicator for 30 seconds and never paid attention that it is 2 bars on my 30 second chart. I will contact sierra and inquire... but I'm not sure I ...

No trades for me today - didn't feel comfortable with the breakout and there was only one this morning. Also, for reference, I am a micro trader.

yes - the black lines are the high/low

I only have found success with NQ - but if you trade other markets, this might be useful.

Another notation. I use sierra chart - here is the description of the Adaptive Volume Ratio Moving Average By Tick With Filters: url

In my previous post I said 12 points when I meant 12 ticks (3 points). I will edit if the system allows - just wanted to clear that up.

I have my system set up to automatically place the initial SL at 3 points. I have been known to increase it if the OR is small enough to move to the opposite side. But I am learning that if the momentum is there -3 points is plenty. Also the risk is ...

Okay here is my complete system for trading the 30 second ORB (Opening Range Breakout). This will probably be my last post for a while. I have found that when I post anywhere, here, twitter, wherever - it affects my focus. During the trade I am ...

my guy - please explain how you got stopped out? where are you entering? On candle close?

i got burnt selling oil today... maybe i should stick to nasdaq

that 30 second OR is golden! Also discovered that it is the same for the Nikkei 225 only you should use 5 min as the OR. Tha algo's must be using these opening ranges to initiate positions. It doesn't really matter, with proper R:R its an easy ...

the 30 second range gave nice profits on both directions! Th first 2 I actually muffed the entry and took losses. 100% my own fault. The third made up for both losses. The 4th and the BEST I missed due to a phone call from my Lawyer!

How are you in a loser long? NOTE: I did not take all these trades - just showing the opportunities that were available this morning. Also I consider a win any trade that gives you at least 10 points.

Ideally I would use pending orders to enter, but unfortunately price moves so fast I am often forced to enter at market... so sometimes the bar has closed sometimes it hasn't. Honestly I need to pay more attention to this. You hit the nail on the ...

I set up this hourly chart on New Years Eve to tell me the long term trading range.... if I had bigger balls I would have taken a long yesterday while the markets were puking..... right into the support zone. again - I am not in this trade as I am ...

Just for fun - where do you think price will be going long term. NQ Hourly chart

I did not trade multiple lots today for a couple of reasons.... one, my computer froze on the initial 30 second opening range. So by the time I reset price was approaching the session highs.... interesting enough, price came back down and a short of ...

if i am disciplined i will trade multiple lots - take one off at 10 points and have at least one target of 50 points. I then use kiwi's trailing (or supertrend) to trail. Either the target gets hit or i get stopped out wherever kiwi dictates. i have ...
