Plan the Trade

got 2 trades on the first one I got spooked and closed to early

-20 on the long

Doldrums

as much as I dont like my charts looking so chaotic, you gotta realize that placing entries at the edge of candle bodies of random sized tick charts is about as abstract as it gets lol. there were 3 clear entry spots so far thanks to the mp. only took that one though

stay warm friend!

It looks like it wants to breakout north but its relatively lethargic today

Will sell gap if it happens

+1 on gap fill

man 28 was the spot.... I was hoping to get filled at 25

My sentiments exactly. Why not use something else, like MP to help with entry. Only 1 trade here for BE. I had a couple of other orders placed but did not get the pb.

123 Plouff lol

Market has been weird yesterday and today big candles but not traveling like it was

Yeah that’s my bad, I’ll stop trading 60 lots

yes rough ride today :

Kinda glad it's not just me. I thought i was losing my mind. Summat like 8 losses in a row now, but.... to be fair, i thought this would happen at some stage with the SB account. Several of those would have been BE+1's on Sierra and actually a couple might have seen a gain i think, cos a couple of trades went a reasonable distance in the blue first, so it wouldn't have been so quite so bad.

I think it's back to demo for me using Sierra tomorrow. Just goes to show the thin line, cos the size of the spread, the slippage and the inability to grab and drop my stop in an instant makes a big difference, as does not having automatic stops opened with the trade, that also equals quite large slippage sometimes between closing a trade manually to where they execute it... It's true SB co's are crooks!)

My plan is to make a note of the nightly total and keep a record. That way, it should help to keep the focus. The target is to get to 1000 ticks profit and then switch back to live, but with contracts using Sierra.

I had hopes of using a little bit bigger scale with SB's, but it's simply useless...

Sensible

1000 ticks? Oh total over days/weeks right?

Haha! well... months probably!)

Yeh, my point was to keep a running total everyday, instead of the usual reset. It's a shame that Sierra don't offer that option.

They would need mpl instead of dpl

Hey Rudy. Help out the ignorant (me) and explain what I'm looking at. Are those hourly MPs based on volume? 200 tick bars? Thanks. Sometimes I'm a bit slow.
