The blue boxes are the TK sessions...they seem to be pretty exact on that number, just wondering why and if they are going to attempt it again for the next move...

it got some respect on the break yesterday too, before it gave it up, and when it gave way, we broke 50 ticks...so no reason not to note it...let me see it there is anything else interesting near there...

In all honesty, over the last couple days ending last week and the beginning of this, with exception of a few moving averages, I haven't really been watching any levels...

I am playing a game of Beat the Bot...and so far, the bot is kicking my ass...

During the lull times of last week, I played with enough bots to trick one into trading with a lot of my same logic. Only where I will stop at break levels and take profit, it is hard to train the script to do the exact...well, for me...

Anyways, once I had one sufficiently setup and let it run for a couple days on a dummie account to close the week, I figured to help with boredom this week, I would trade against it...

So far, it's got me licked by 4 fold.

Simply, it can trade more pairs and has less emotion then I do...

And unless something serious happens, I am really gunna hafta bust my ass to catch up, nevermind "BEAT", the motherfucker...

I mean, really, if it wins, I guess I could just cut it free and let it go live...maybe take up a job as a gas jockey to fill my days or something....

Pshhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Fuck dude, I can barely handle english as a language nevermind Machine...if it were a blender or an icemaker, we might have a couple long chats, but this bitch is free...and I actually found a few more worthy of some lengthy testing...

The one I am currently working with was set like a lot of free ware bots are...trained by people that don't understand trading but like to pick tops and bottoms. Rather then having it guess tops for reversals, I just set the levels backwards and have it take trades in favor of the trends...

I have it trading on EU, GU, EJ, GJ, AU, AJ, USDCAD, Gold and Silver...

To compete, I have to double and triple on my orders to take the smaller ranges and cover the landscape in the rest of the time that it can trade while I sleep or do other shit...

Prolly never...

Not sure my ego could handle it...

I spent the weekend in bed, bet I ran a couple thousand trial runs with different makes and models, there are actually some pretty good freeware bots out there, well written, just programmed with the wrong logic.

Bah, who knows, I do gotta couple micro accounts holding cash, will see how the week works out maybe unleash one or a couple next week...
