I found a software for hong kong charts which is better than IB (any thing is better than IB, of course).

It also works for lots of other markets too.

Even if it's only end of day - it should be good to look for potential set ups.

Sorry Chris, I didn't contribute to anything productive lately but they're coming out of the woodwork.

I will check back in on another day.

I used to be with MB great FX excellent execution in london hours sometimes you can steal spreads, they offer all that but Ive never traded them but if its anything like their FX Id recomend them.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look. I don't think they offer metatrader though do they? I'll see.

Since you are in the UK, I think IB will offer you CFD's in at least the ASX markets.......
Thanks Chris, I'll take a look.

This time you're watching my notes ? Was a nice support in the past and the recent move with nearly 1000 pips in 2 weekly bars without a real retrace may exhaust and show us an entry.

Yo good thread, interested in learning more stuff mate. I know some stuff myself, but probably well known run of the mill type methods, so will keep reading and see if I can fit in here and chip in to help with the development forward.

well i took a trade on the ej 8 hr pin bar and will be holding on thru the weekend. you know i realized a couple mistakes that i made in my entry after the fact. Note my sell entry was 133.88 btw. my stop is above the pin. just trading 1% on my micro account btw.

1. i asked for any thoughts and chris agreed the pin was ok, but warned the yen pairs are tough right now and i placed my trade anyways. so why did i even stop by and ask if i didn't listen to the warning and stand on the side? maybe i just wanted to see my chart on the internet. LOL

2. i seem to be a better analyst once i am in the trade. i entered right at a 50% retracement from a recent h4 hi - low.... this alone would have had me waiting. not sure how i missed it. i was set in my thoughts that the dow would have a sell off today and bring the ej with it.

edit: my feathers may just be ruffled since my sell stop order was triggered by a couple pips and then reversed. ouch.

here is my latest chart to show the fib i drew:

Software is free. Data is not.

the one I posted before (world stock charts) seems tobe getting data from yahoo which is delayed by 1 day most ofthe time for hongkong stocks.so its no good

EDIT: This is FCharts. Looks like it has functionality to fetch data from yahoo automatically if u want to use free data. But yahoo data for SEHK is always delayed by 1 day. I have been using www.eoddata.com a paid service to get my data

any chance it can take a IB feed thru api?

just curious. whats wrong with ninjatrader? not enough chart options? i noticed i could not get the EJ futures for example. Works fine for stocks, forex, and other futures.

can you get hongkong stocks ? I configured ninja to use IB and I'm trying to open chart for 1387.hk and it gives an error "select an instrument" . it works well for U.S equities.

stefx.

Also, on the weekly, it's a 50% retrace from the last swing low and move up from 2007.....

Plus, on my IB feed - it closed as a pinbar at 5pm EST. (1.5402) Not the prettiest pinbar, but it's at a very pretty place.

lowmach,

There's a more powerful fib near 134 on E/J that's drawn from about a year out, which will have more influence than the one you drew. If you go back to last year for example, the one I've drawn has a top near 170, which now displays today's price very near its 38.2% retrace. That's probably a better place to start, then work your way down, to where you have your fib plot...

I attached a Daily and 3H (Oanda platform) chart to this post. I managed to clear it up a little from yesterday's muddy C/J - this time without the gridwork.

* Orange: Fibo
* Blue: Major zones (from what I can tell)
* Purple: Minor zones ""

* I'm still trying to figure out how to convert the charts to .jpg, .gif or .tiff on a Mac, so you don't have to open them up on your end. Please excuse my lack of familiarity at moment - thanks.

Hi lowmach,

Sorry, I incorrectly drew the fib in the last post, which I should've drawn FROM the 170ish top to bottom. That would place our current price around its 61.8% - not the 38.2% - as previously cited.

Albeit a funny thing is that fib drawing doesn't have an exact right or wrong way to how they're plotted, as long as the endpoints are consistent. Maybe you're aware of that already ... check-it-out if you want. That's why I'm only going to repost the Daily chart, b/c the 3H looks the same, either way.

To attaching the corrected Daily - the first time round.

I've been pretty down (mentally) this week, because I keep thinking I am taking good trades, then I mess with them, and then they turn into bad trades.
I really need to learn to just leave them alone.

I'm down 2.2% over the last three weeks (And honestly, that doesn't seem that bad for trading like a schmuck).

The hardest part about this week, was that when I take a bad trade and it fails, I know that it was shitty to begin with. But when I take a good trade, and go fuck it up....well...let's just say I tend to beat myself up over it.

Any advice would be welcome.
