and could anyone give me some feedback........
I think may be able to convince my broker to give me 1pip spread AU and EU and 2pip's EJ, would that be workable?
Leon
Just change other broker....... EFX/MBT is 1pip EJ (com~1.3pip) total 2.3 pip only.

i think the commission for E/J by MBT is ("E/J rate" / 100) pips, so current 1.578 pips

Yes, but what im saying is, i may be able to trade for only 2pip spread on EJ, without having to move to an ECN, better than 2.3. and would this spread on the 5second be ok

thanx

My inbox was flooded with PM's so I am just going to try and answer them all here.
First, I have no EA and dont plan to, I trade manually.
Secondly, I trade 1m chart not 5sec.
I am new compared to LT on the rainbow but have had some vairation on my charts for a long time. I have tried hull, TSR, digital, lots of combinations. When LT opened this thread I went back from EMA to LWMA to follow along and I am liking it. I am the type of person that has to have a clear cut set of rules, something that says pull the trigger, and get out. I NEED absolute while LT doesnt because he has been doing this a LONG time and I dont feel like his personality has to have that mathmatical pull the trigger now like I do. Thats why I have the MAinColor combination on there and created the rainbowarrows(and watching multiple pairs).Rainbowarrows was made to MY rules and only to grab my attention to look at the chart. The only other things I use are support and resistance and those are the horizontal lines on my chart. Pivots, camarilla pivots and higher timeframe S&R. I also like mt4 because I like programming as well. I wish I could have maybe a 30sec chart but someday. I have a broker with low spreads and am not to far off from an instutional account which will allow me to connect directly to an ECN feed with MT4(yes it does exist).

I am not going to attach any indicators out of respect for LT and what he is trying to do, unless he doesnt mind. I hate those threads that get derailed and transformed. Besides, the arrow indicator is a resource HOG and I have yet to figure out an efficient way to calculate 30 MA's and wouldnt release another version unless i did.

Look back at your charts and look for the great entries and write it down what occured. Then make your own rules that you are happy with and pwn teh marketz

LT, how could i manage the second trade in that situation.

I think the second one was tough, probably would get BE at 03:40, even if the sl was set a little bigger(smarter).

May I ask you if you made some nett profit from your trades? If I check it again you made 6 trades with 5 pips profit(no comm. calculated...) What is your commission?
Hi Bruno,
Note the double entry towards the end. Then on the very last exit, there are two exit marks. That's what made the session for me.

In other words, had I not doubled-down on the last trade, something I don't recommend for everyone, I would have broken even for the session. But since I did, I ended up with, trading one contract, a $33 profit, or 3 ticks after commissions. When I am learning a new method, I always trade on NinjaTrader's simulation mode, and then with only with one contract. 20 contracts would have given me over $650; a living wage for an hour's work. But not until I really get this down.

In order to answer this a little better, I have attached my reports for the session.

In your second question, my commissions run around $5.50 per round turn, which I don't mind paying, as I almost always have only a one-tick spread. If I successfully enter on a limit order instead of a market order, I pay NO spread.

hi, If you scroll to the top of the page and click on the paperclip (attatchments) you will find a file called cryoxMMA, its a template for MT4, just put it in your templates folder.

if you dont use MT4 then jus put WMA 10, 20, 30.............220 on whatever charts you use

. My first goal was to make 5-10 pips/day consistent. Now I know that 20-100 pips/day(so can you imagine which trading DYNAMITE we have?)

Hi Bruno,
Not that I'm an expert, but I think it is a more productive strategy that instead of maximizing your pips over the 20 range, that instead you go for one or two high probability trades while doubling and/or quadrupling your lots, thus minimizing your exposure to the market and your risk. You can likely make more with less risk using this strategy.

My mentor goes for 4 ticks net per day, with 30 contracts, and pulls in excess of $1K daily on two or three trades. Seldom gets stopped out, because of being able to cherry-pick only two trades, maybe three.

Just a thought ...

But, just a thought........... isnt it also possible to see the situation from an opposite perspective! by spreading your risk over many more trades with smaller lot sizes arent you infact safer? What if that one big trade goes wrong?

Just my input

We do not need an optimal exit... exit base on constant pips... or exit based on price hits the h-line (round numbers)... exit based on rainbow wave end (need a lot of screen time)... finally time based exit...

Quoting Bruno
How exactly you define "good entry" and "excellent entry" ? btw, how do you guys handle exit. Most of charts are just entry points and i´m not getting if we are all talking about same subject here, but exit is important, i´d like to see some exit point on charts also.

Cheers

Carllos
I still did not find "optimal" exit with 2 months NON STOP Rainbow watching - but it comes sooner or later . My first goal was to make 5-10 pips/day consistent. Now I know that 20-100 pips/day(so can you imagine which trading DYNAMITE we have?) is not big problem, but I still have big problems with DISCIPLINE - this should be the key(reading MANTRA many times per day), all other things and MM comes automatically.

Good observation...I didn't notice that in the chart.

Thanks for posting that, Linuxtroll
Based on your risk profile - you can zoom in and out to adjust the h-line to 5 pips or 10 pips... Same goes with v-line too (how many minutes)...

Thanks LT, it's good to see how you look at a chart! And the round numbers thing is something I will take to the bank...So good to have this thread back on target...I've learned more today than for a while!! Thanks again to all--oh, and nhallmark, possibly decrease your lot size so you don't take it so hard...I too find that when I'm away from my computer (albeit not smoking) great things happen in the charts, but at least realizing that great things have happened brings me one step closer to success! pk
Great things happen 24/7... Just pick your smoking or break time according to v-line...
