this daily deviation really giving me headache... i'm trying to figure out what will be %rate that will be good for me... that will match my dancing technique...

still thinking

here's my current record of the challenge...
Hi Eddy,
your return is driving me crazy.
RESPECT!!!!
6% sounds ok for me.
But as you might have seen in the excel sheet you have to manage a goal of several hundred thousand USD per day in the end of the contest.
I assume that your daily return for now is much above 6% only.
So if you cut back to 6% only, your Risk-Adjusted return will fall far behind your current value. Play around with different excel scenarios and choose the one that fits best to your dance ..

Today I have done decision to continue dancing the challenge. After that yesterdays dramatic drawdown, I'll be back in the ranking in the middle of january then. BTW: Going for ~6% per day too....

Keep on your phenomenal trading demonstration!

CU,
Niels

amazing dongsky, being reading about wacthing you and the charts (still going through ftis post) but why did you get out?

Hi KJ,
once you have enough win/loss experience, you will already know when to enter and exit... never ever be greedy my friend... if no more reason for me to stay in the position... i simply square or scale down exposure and leave a scout to continue feel the market... if a bit greedy.. you can put a trailing stop on your scout

that's just me...

Hey Friends, take care of your exposures.
I got duped/misslead by auto-zoom function of MT4:
We are moving in a very small bandwith this asian session.
So if the average dynamic of the past few days kicks in, we are running risk to get cought heavily on the wrong side ...
(or maybe on the right side of course :-)

hi george,

i already have give my views on the market with all different timeframes... just after i deployed short scout...

anywayz.... here it is...

daily is pointing down...
4h is already running its 1st leg...
1h is currently correcting... onto second leg???

15min... accumulation...
5min.... nearing a reaction zone....


... this means that i open daily chart and you can see an inverted hammer with a long upper wick... that to me pointing down....

and on the 4 hour chart... two bear candle already on the move.. and candle prior to those has a small body and very long upper wick that again tells me a bear run...

1 hour chart tells me the same...

so i open 5 minute for confirmation and spotting for a good area to enter... which happened to be... the current candle was reaching a reaction zone.... and the bulls is slowing down (by just looking the candle moves..) therefore i decided to deploy scout to further feel the market...

i don't know if the bears will come... but that's the purpose of scout... to feel...

and when i saw the bears are jumping in at 1 min candle... then i attacked...

again it's just me...

BY the way: Shouldn't we give a little hint to Jack Schwager for a valuable interview partner for his next series of "Market wizzards" interviews?

I guess Eddy would deserve such a decoration...

Warning was not adressed to you especially.
But that's what i'm talking about:

Aren't the moves not looking strong and significant on that chart?
But if I scale it down to a gauge that fits to the past days dynamic or daily ranges, it looks just like "noise" ...
