My 2 cents, If you manage to put Gator brains for trading in an algo/indi you will be in another planet mate.... don't get me wrong but I think you are wasting your time ...(but if you manage to do it I would like to have a look ).

As you probably know, his way to read charts is fantastic but is very unique and with years of experience that allow him to read, digest and filter in/out many levels/rules filtering out the TFs in the analysis that adapts very fast in real time depending on how markets are reacting.

More importantly his r:r management...
Agree with an awful lot of that, sisse. I still don't even grasp the g-man's concept in it entirety, so it is an unachievable impossibility that this thing would come close to what's in his head at this point. Speaking on the phone as some setups were forming has helped, but there is much further to go. That is why I'm thinking a semi-automatic system may be the way to go...at least initially. Let him play with it and see where it goes.

The r/r management doesn't concern me that much. I run bots on smaller accounts frequently and have no problem letting them play with 1% a trade. Would be the same thing here, but very tight stops. I think gator is actually pretty consistent with his % risked. But...I digress...

Not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination, but...can't beat a challenge.

Also going to be looking for some challenges during my masters. Particularly interested in having a go at this in R and Ruby languages. Who knows where it leads? Just a project to keep the brain active. If we can come up with something that pulls a few percent a month...fantastic.

bro that needs a big brain and we dont have it yet

i think there's some indis out their if we put together it might work
No bro the juice is not in the indis but in reading the market properly ....

In any case, strong daily candle reversal in the Euro but made on air meaning finally some profit taking, any swing low reversal is fadable now, 1.196x looking very tempting for the M roll...

need a b/o.. the first move may be a head fake. to go higher bulls may need to get momentum at lower level. if "lower" is above 2112 w/o breaking 2112..
the first one to b/o is probably correct, but after it b/o's, it will probably retrace some. i don't have a solid target for a retrace. thats why i look for weakness. i could say we already have it and short here. its just more times then not we go to 225x.. or higher. there is the greater potential for reward. and the less risk if wrong. the higher place is where i would set up ken.

if i say something bullish/bearish.. then the opposite happens.. take that as a fail and more weight should be given for the opposite. if i say bulls need.. its understood bears want the opposite w/o saying. vice verse

Nice killer!

Need to head out for a few hours, but will be the first thing I look at when I get back. Looks extensive. Are you very familiar with it? Any PDF with it, or any other form of literature?

Nice one, mate.

tp changed to 2131 (2127 is my number). i'll look at it in the morning. 1.2185 is still open and valid. we could go as low as 60 (weekly cam L4) and it would still be valid. anyway, it's asia so 20 pips should be enough
