On the sidelines on the short term
YM - I really want to take a short up here, but it's pulled back further than it should with great bullish momentum on that last immediate term swing....

Lots of discernible order flows today.

Level 1 (immediate) - NSH
Level 2 - is now NSH, was a NSL when we took those shorts
Level 3 - NSH
Level 4 - NSL - this is the order flow Mr Pip has a long term short on.

Longer therm expectetion is for a NSL
Shorter therm expectetion is for NSH
I enter on a 1-2-3 signal

{quote} The basis for my entry are on the chart below. I had a limit order to scale in at the next level of structure which did not trigger my PC did some updates and rebooted and did not fill. This was scary and the one thing I do not like about the NT platform. At any rate price wen t on to test the lows and came back up to my entry area. I made the decision to get out of the trade because I no longer was at the risk profile I should have been and could no longer be in the trade in accordance to my plan. In other word my reasons for being in this...
Mr Pip, If you are on windows, you can force NinjaTrader to be started when your machine is booted (rebooted).

1. Browse to the location of your NinjaTrader.exe - I have the 64bit installation and so it is installed here: C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\bin64\NinjaTrader.exe

2. Right click on the .exe and click "Create Shortcut". Windows may complain and not allow to create the shortcut in the Program Files directory and may ask you if
you want to put the file on your desktop, if so just click ok(yes).

3. Wherever the shortcut ends up being created, cut/paste that shortcut into the following directory - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

4. Reboot - verify that NinjaTrader is launched

And another option is that you disable the automatic updates of Windows 10. You can then carry out these, when you are not trading (I use this).

For those of you who use NinjaTrader 8, there's a pretty neat alerting feature which you can use to send yourself an email and can even be configured to send yourself a text message when price hits a certain point. You need to have an email account with smtp capabilities, I use a standard gmail email account myself.

To setup the service:
1. Click on Tools->Options->General
2. Share Services-> edit share services...
3. Click add
4. Service name: whatever you want, I call mine Gmail
5. Connection Server: if using gmail it would be smtp.gmail.com
6. Connection Port: for gmail it would be 587
7. Default - checked
8. Connection - SSL - checked
9. Email address - this is your email address you are using for sending email
10. Username/Password - your email username and password
11. OK

To create an alert
1. Right click on the chart and click Alerts
2. Click add
3. Enabled - checked
4. Under conditions click add
5. Data Series - YM - Crosses Above - Numeric Value 26000 (look back period 1)
6. Text - whatever you want, there's a dropdown for functions
7. Actions - click add
8. Share a message
9. Screenshot type - none
10. Share to: the Share service you setup above (gmail in my case)
11. Text - @MESSAGE
12. To: this can be an email address or it can be a phone number if you want to text.

Note for texting in step #12, you have to use a common email feature known as email to SMS, essentially you're emailing your phone number.
For ATT customers, you would put the number followed by @txt.att.net
So ([email protected])

If you wanted to include a screenshot, you would have to send a multimedia text message and the address changes
So ([email protected])

If you do not use AT&T, you can use this website to help you find the SMS address of your phone carrier:
http://www.emailtextmessages.com/

In our example, when price crosses above 26000, you would get a text.

You only have to set it up once, and then to rearm your alert, right click the chart, alerts, set enabled to checked, and change the price and "crosses above" or "crosses below"

Please watch your R:R buddy. As I see with some very shallow entries, 2 losses and you would wipe out all your profits, it should be the the other way around. That winning trades wipe out losers. Green pips!

Thanks for the tip. I had quite a few trades go to break even. I was starting the SL at 40 pips and moved it to break even when I was up around 22 pips on each trade to protect however I was probably too quick to do this on some trades and my timing on entries was not particularly good. I just need to practice more with some past data. Still early days for me.
