{quote} nice birdland - Thank you for sharing i’ve read some of your old posts on Capt Billy’s thread and found your comments on stats helpful. I would really appreciate some tips on how to efficiently capture stats - for instance the one you made on E/U was insightful once again thanks one and all -
you are welcome, just keep on reading. the statistics on EU i found on another thread who is dead now.
that happens to most threads, but you can also find nuggets in a disused mine...

i just see interesting things, sleep, trade, sleep, trade and after a few months or so i wake up in the night and it makes "click" and i know what to do with all the stuff learned (especially) here and on ff. but here is a special universum inside ff, belive me;-)
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

thanks Birdland, combination of “see a line trade a line” and the intuition you get from experience.

if anyone else has ideas on efficiently capturing stats I would greatly appreciate it

Hi Lineseeker,

Good question. If you aren't a programmer or have access to one, I recon excel might be your best bet. I simply track a couple of simple line-entry techniques in excel (well.. numbers now) and record maximum positive excursion, maximum negative excursion and a few other things that I like to keep an eye on. I then make a separate table that basically gives me a frequency distribution. This gives you the basics and you can expand this as much as you like.

It is a bit cumbersome and a lot of work if you are going to track many pairs. I would be interested too, to see how others do this : )

Hope it helps, W

thanks W - that’s very useful

frequency distribution being the key according to Captain Billy

Like W would be keen to learn from others as well

i have taken thousands and thousands of stats all by hand.
i honestly think that this helped me to retain information.

a couple of years ago i had a girl friend who was a Maths Lecturer in a Uni, and she had tons of FD stats copied for me from the uni computor.
This stuff was amazing but most of it was so far over my head. lol

Ah yes, doing by hand is even better imo.. Have stacks of notebooks filled with them.

MIT does a good series of lectures on statistics for free, worth a watch. Though I have to admit I lost them during the intro lol.

Also just missed the second entry of the BillyBar while writing this.

Morning. 12-4am range, we’ve had a low break, a high break, and almost another low break. It should make up its mind and either head down to the daily pivot, or up to R1. I think buyers will try to push it up to 1.38 today. I’ll be happy whichever way it goes, as long as it makes around 65-70 pips for the day.

we have a good chance of getting the 70, hoping it will double that lol.

eu scalp, this is showing how my 50 range was hit,
i did take a couple of points but i was concentrating on dax and Cable.

the 2 scalp areas are not true scalp breaks, but i do trade them and i will explain soon.

we had a low break and luckily it made the 50 range.
This is what we are hoping to do with dax and cable, a/u etc.

once these areas are made we can trade retrace or follow on.
But really we should close down monitors and have a coffee and chill.
