Managed + 33 in sim with less volatility (out of hours). Just trying to refine entries to allow my smaller stop, then back to live.

{quote} i am getting 2 a day and 2 at night beginning of asian session. 2 days 8 wins
I managed a whole 25 minutes in the beginning of the asian session (a busy time of day for me). One 1-2-3 right as I logged in (not shown), a second
a few minutes later. keeping entries with 14T stops and 15T profit with a 2T plus (trailing stop) once plus 8T. might need to re-arrange my
schedule. thanks for reminding of the usually ignored asian timeframe Divergence.
good luck

+21 in sim I missed some though in-between those trades. Keeping my stop at 12 and trying to focus on entries that take me nowhere near it.
Now have to focus on some real work, so have a good one guys...

Crazy night in the markets. NQ in a limit down situation. Dropped over 400 points. Oil is about the only thing trading and it is down 13+. Oil is sub 30.00 right now.

Just a few weeks ago I was wondering if NQ was going to hit 10,000. Now it is just above 8,000.

Trade carefully when you can. USD getting slapped around hard. At least one prominent player on FF got hit hard enough in his FX trades that he has to take some time off. Guess he was holding positions through the weekend. Not advised on anything right now.

Seriously, just be very careful. When the US markets open, the limit down will be lifted because the limit raises during US markets. There will be a halt at around 7% down (i think that's the number). That's a timed halt once it reopens it will be set at 13%. If it hits that then the next stop is 20%. Here are the levels for today's trading once the market opens. 7922.75 7411.00 6813.75

+34, 2 sim trades using 48 stop which I just tried for today. Took + 18 out of the dax this morning.

As long as one can afford the stops, nothing has changed. In fact there are some real opportunities.

maybe starting to slow down to 40T per 20sec atr? saw one setup and lots of false re-traces. 40T still out of my comfort zone
for live trading, but getting closer. haven't been able to work the asian time schedule yet, too much family activity for concentration.
good luck

CME will close the trading floor on Friday and keep it that way indefinitely. This may or may not impact electronic trading but who knows.

seems like the "viral" economics of fear has yet to run it's course. I believe this week the rollover of futures contracts is on tap as well.
have no idea if or how CME closing it's trading floor will affect market trading etc. grab some popcorn.
good luck
