Well he's been temporarily suspended. Let's hope that turns into a permanent or at least a very long term ban. It would be nice to see the mods delete his posts as well. I may be a grumpy old man, but if I wouldn't want my wife or daughters to read the thread I'm posting in, I won't post to it. Does anyone know if FF allows restricted threads where the thread OP can restrict who can and cannot post. I heard that trade2win has such capability. I'd like to start a thread here where I can control somewhat what I have to read or not. I am done in this...
I feel the exact same way about anyone reading my own posts. My family knows I post here under my handle and I completely understand your stance. If I feel I wrote something that does not deserve a linger in this foreverwasteland, I use the delete within 24 hours and be done with it. I wish everyone would do that!

You can only put folks on "ignore" in order to prevent them from posting in your thread. There is simply no way to create a true "read-only" BLOG style thread where everyone can read what's worth and keep their thoughts to themselves.

Again, if I'd be embarrassed to have my wife or daughters read it, I'm not participating.
Put him on your ignore list and his posts will disappear from the thread. That's what I did.

{quote} FFs calm down everybody. Run its course my ass. There are a lot of grumpy old men on here, but they do have a point. I always try to be on my best behaviour because there is a lot to learn from this thread, but it is technical for a beginner from the start. Divergence started a thread on forex a while back and it is well worth a read. https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=280673 The fewer indicators the better, it is all about the patterns if you are new you have an advantage in that there is no baggage.

I make no apology for having a sense of humour. These public threads are about helping each other get through highs and lows in a tough environment. Takes all sorts, those who don't like it will do as they wish.

We should try and keep those outside of NY session so those who are taking trades can avoid distraction. Doesn't matter to me though.. I get always distracted from work and family... forum is a part of my mental ignore :-)

the thing is, it's not boring. as i'm trading, i'm watching videos, eating dinner, wathcing tv...

trading on 5 minutes is really the most chill ..especially during asia..

in US it's a bit more active..but it's nothing like scalping..

My daily statement from NY session (won't be posting on this thread again)
29 RT trades were just too much but I was really in the zone today with no work and all alone at home most of the day. Loved it ! I wonder how do you guys politely tell your loved ones to stay the F*ck out of your home office. I think it is time to set some boundaries for me. I just do too much sh*t around work/life to comprise my consistency. Regardless, it was a good day today. Asia session is now +33T Net (or 46T before commissions)

EDIT: $4.1 RT costs per trade is still too much!

Interesting.

Just looked back at some of the earlier posts of the thread.

Used to be people posting charts explaining why they took a trade, now its just charts of live trades no explanation.

Unless everyone here is a seasoned vet with no room for improvement, lets make an effort to move towards sharing a bit of the why behind the random execution.

Two -12's and 2 b/e's in the end for me. Will post the log when it becomes available from topstep later. {image}
I decided to sign-up to the evaluation program with oneup over topstep in the end and now a couple weeks in..very shaky start, just beginning to settle down. I'm using a combination of ideas from H and others - i've tried just using H's current strat but unable to replicate atm - hoping to in the future with more experience/NQ screen time. The chart shows my current set-up and the equity curve (for a laugh) is there too..still very fearful of loss but this is getting better after watching/listening to the stuff posted by ddaytrader et al - many thanks to you!

Initial SL: -20; +1 (@+6); +10 (@+15) and then a chasing stop for every extra tick up.
Target: +25.

Looks good. The only downside I can see is (and call me protectionist), how do you keep your edge disclosed. Since it is their hosted software, your trading and analysis is totally transparent.

You do all the hard work, they crunch your data? Bingo, any edge you had is fully disclosed?

I would agree with you and got carried away with posting my charts yesterday. If you were asking me, I am trading manually and taking selective signals from my ongoing and incomplete automation so I cannot even imagine typing here the justification of each trade as I am a volume scalper and not a pattern trader. running 1000s of market replays, I am finetuning my brain to just jump on and off as I see fit with the signal probabilities from my testing. I will delete.

If you have multiple sub-accounts linked in Sierra, it will show the account number on there. Many are trading only one account hence they don't have it shown. I don't have any display of $$ on my chart... pure Tick counting

EDIT: like this just for your understanding
