{quote} I plotted these numbers several weeks ago, don't exactly remember why I marked them bold ................. Mofu or not, they are more important numbers. I take chance of a bounce at these numbers, either make or lose few pips at these numbers with equal tp and sl in number of pips, usully From 20 to 30. If the net result is positive with half or one percent risk on each trade, one can buy few bottles of Tequila and carton of cigarettes. ........................ If you get lucky, add a hooker for few hours, but don't forget to keep aside...
So, you think you have rights? LOL

{quote} For A/J and N/J are rather difficult for me to play the daily noises - too many variables that can go against me and takes too much concentration. E/J is somehow easier for me with higher success rate. I have buy limits waiting at monthly support for A/J and N/J with large stops and probably trade them twice a year targeting +1,000 pips waiting for the yearly cycle. These two are the left over from mid 2013 {image} {image}
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Every single day I ask myself:
Can performance get even lower?
And to my surprise the answer is YES, IT CAN -

{quote} Algotrading? I thought this would be reserved for the big boys only trading their endless money ressources with HFT machines taking advantage of micro movements? How do you do that? Just curious...
HFT in particular is said to be reserved for the big dudes, because they have the power to set their servers next door from central banks and stock exchange centrals. If they can't place themselves near these places, they also have the power to destroy whatever miles of nature between in order to place fiber optics just to get rates, and place orders faster than they would with regular internet connections. Timeframes of course are very short and their algorithms have the capability to analyze the market at microsecond intervals.
But there are many other styles of algotrading that mortals can apply; trend followers, mean reversion, arbitrage, news and social media scanners, market sentiment scanners, scalpers, and so on... you can apply these styles from 1 minute charts up to whatever timeframe you wish to. What I do myself is trend following with neural networks and genetic algorithms, my money management never push my margin exposed higher than 25% of the total. I have a startup to provide my solution but in my country there is no trading culture. In the meantime I keep improving my system and using it for myself.
K.I.S.S.

{quote} No!! in a nutshell; algotrading is not reserved for the big dudes. HFT is just one of many algorithmic trading styles.. the essence of algotrading is to code your set of trading rules in order to analyze, sell or buy any financial instrument (stocks, currencies, commodities, etc.). It applies also from a discrete level as a "decision support system" to a 100% automated trading system. Finally, there is no timeframe limit to apply algotrading. So (for example) if you ever tried to program your own indicator or Expert Advisor in MetaTrader,...
