a thing of beauty

Nut Well done for sharing your work. Fibs work because so many people use them (as I am sure you appreciate). You use fibs in an interesting way and I will not comment on if that is better or worse than any others. It is not the tool that is being ...

I think you are not right. You say luck, its not, it comes of years of watching, understanding high probability setups (even against trend) and timing entries to benefit from those factors to minimise exposure and maximise gains.

Great journal. Nice work. Very interested to hear more about your thinking.

Anyone using GKFX noticing data issues at peak times. I seem to get gaps or frozen bars at the open and after news. Not really acceptable.

It also needs a tailorable alarm for x mins before each 15 min bar.

This would be a great indicator to keep all you day traders on your toes. Any takers?

Plenty of rubbish written, always tricky sorting out who is really trading for a living and who is just on demo. Hope your addiction becomes profitable. Sounds like your 10,000 hours is nearly up. If you're bust now the only way is up - but with ...

Thanks for that.

You ever sort this? After todays Dow action I can see benefits of being able yo differentiate ~75s, ~50s, ~00s etc.

Dax short from 9384. Dow is also heavy but we could just be ranged bound

Dax Dow price divergence. Dow long at 16376 First TP at 50 points. Rest in money stops. Closed manually for about 20 points each.

Dax short 9374. Dow looks saggy. First profit at 9350. 2 units left. Stops moved to BE Out. Frozen out of FXCM again!

Faced with a situation like this there is only one thing to do. Do better. Short Dax 9399 Out at -7.

Thankyou. I needed a kick to remind me how it should be done.

Dax short 9358 SL -5 Closed plus 10. Dax is trying to push lower but no one interested. NFP. Coffee, decent book and listen for alarms me thinks.

That is what I am attempting to do but making a mess of it as you see. These rapid entries and exits are all based on smaller timeframe signals, what I call my type II entries, but I have not got it yet. The longer term entries fine, but I need to ...

Short after bounce off open. 9344 Out -5. Failed to close at 9325 as should have.

9364 Short. Out + 5 Safety first.
