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...
well if you ever get the damn things to work, let me know, I'll send you a check...then we could sit around drinking beer, smoking weed, watching Caddyshack, and going to Denny's like three times a day, instead sitting infront of these fucking computers for 18hrs, prolly live longer too..

Bout my only edge on a robot, the fastest tf I will release one of the beggars on is the M5...I trip in the M1s...so as the one I am working against is indy based, I can see a little more with PA...

It's still winning...but the week ain't over yet!

yet again, cant say I have a clue as to what the hell is going to happen today...3792/95 here lookis interesting and might unlock some upside, cant really decide which of those two big down bars from yesterday is more important, so i'll note both of them, 3820 is the mid of the second, along with the mid of the day, so the lip of the mofu is prolly close to that 3825/26...further up, were back near last months mid, a place I might look to sell the bastard...below the marktet, there is 3765, which will need to go before we can look for a chance at that 3704/17, start trading below there, and maybe we can argue for some sort of top here...anyway, I'll wait for London on the outside chance that I form some kind of trading plan...bbl, gl, PTL..

just curious - thought you might have an online fleamarket source for cheap/free trading bot code.

I am just getting into it & like the idea of tweaking working code to suit my ends

Found it easiest to start searching for stuff I understood...which in reality, ain't that much.

From there, just took and adapted my levels of understanding, applied them to trading stratagies that have been written and tested them on multiple tfs.

From there, new doors opened.

Fucking DEMARKER...actually a pretty kewl thing, but prior to this weekend, I never looked at it...

Again, it really depends on whutcha wanna see and how you can apply what you already know.

AUDUSD and AUDJPY both seem to be stalling the declines...

A little unfinished business up top?

I was expecting this yesterday, but I will be surprised if we don't visit the 1.3700 area with Weekly and Montly Pivot. A good M15 bounce from there could give a thrust to 1.3850 and Daily R1?
