Welcome. I took the Gu fastball as well at 40. Also two Eu curves set up in the strikezone next to each other. In Eu at 16.

Thx for the welcome. Is that a homerun on GU?

I'd say that's a grandslam! Nice job. That's why fastballs are great for extra bases bc stops are so small. This thing dropped like a rock. Lots of good signals the rest of the week. I got the gu drop but flatted eu long and didn't catch the downswing like you did. Sometimes it's a bit hard to post during the week while trading so this may just be a weekend thing going forward. But I will try and post trades as much as possible and answer questions. That should be easy bc nobody's asked any yet. Here are H4 lines to start the week.

My first at bat. Hoping to take a swing at this fastball.
Have I got the terminology right? The 24 refers to my B value?

Not the best start, but that's the game.
I see my label didn't load with the chart so my terminology question seems weird. I have it as "EU short 24." Right?

Now a couple questions about the stats.
What goes in "Bases?" Is the H column perhaps superfluous?

Can you take a screenshot of what you're talking about? Not sure I understand the question. Looking back, it doesn't look like that signal you posted ever triggered. Also, I would take "eu short 24" as you're short eu at for example 1.3124. Just to save time and space I only write 24. The 24 does not refer to bases, it refers to entry point.

Just to let everyone know, the trade explorer attached to my profile is not directly connected to this strategy. The linked trade explorer is for another thread called "100 fold challenge." Some of the trades in the explorer will be trades according to this thread, some will not.

My EU short did make contact at 1.3090 and I was out at 1.3114. My terminology was wrong then because 24 was my B (RR) value.

I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of participation here. This is a wonderful way to see the Game. So, OK, first I'll take a couple errors on my scorecard for what must have been stupid questions earlier. Then I'll just shut up and play.


My second at bat last week was a 4H changeup, GBPUSD at 1.5148. Base hit! Holding for extra bases.

No no, not stupid questions. Busy week last week, I will take a screenshot example today or tomorrow when I have time. And further more, the stupid questions comment in my first post was a bit harsh but not totally serious. There are some major idiots on this forum who ruin good threads, and I don't want them here. Apologize if I offended anyone. Just think before you post, that's all I ask.

Never got the bat off my shoulder. Pitch was way inside so I've canceled my order. Now I'm really hoping for a curve ball in the next hour or two.

What goes in H and TB?
And can you give us an example of how you might fill in the Box Score page?
Ok, in the bases column on the stats side, that is how many bases you got for that hit. Single = 1 base, double = 2 bases, etc.
In the H column on the box score, that is where total hits goes, either for the day or week or however you keep track. So no, the H column is not superfulous.
In the TB column, that is Total Bases. So in the below example, for that hypothetical day there were 6 at bats, 3 hits (2 singles and a triple), 2 outs, 1 flat, and 5 total bases.

I hope that clears it up a little bit. If not, let me know.

***there is a typo in the screenshot. TB column should read 5, not 4. (triple = 3 bases, 2 singles = 2 bases, 5 total.)

took a swing at a changeup on AJ.... the 4 hour.. and so far I am half way to first....
my at bats seem to move in slow motion in that I am a little longer term trader.

Long AJ at 98.89...I was a little late but modified my lot size to reflect the proper risk
