Check other brokers (ECN), lower spread & commissions.

A quick question:
Are you trading a live account and how are you finding liquidity/fills on wheat? In other words, how many lots are you trading?
In life you get 3 types of people, those who can count and those who can't.

Hey HedgePiglet,

Yes I'm trading a live account. Liquidity and fills are rarely a problem on wheat, I usually trade 1 to 3 contracts just 1 today. Only trade commodities during NY session. I attached a 5 min. chart which shows volume. Most commodities except oil(I don't trade gold) I only trade during Ny session, more open to trading currency futures on London session.

Do you enter just on supertrend signals? Some filter?

Well, this is the first time that i saw a losing trade from you. You have a very robust method.



Just one trade for me, just caught on crude oil, short trade for 18 ticks profit.

Nice thing about this method is I almost always get movement in my direction. That lets me move my stops up quickly so most of my losses are small or b/e.

{quote} Do you enter just on supertrend signals? Some filter?
No, the supertrend is just a confirmation together with the grid where to locate breakouts. The MACD is the one dictating to prepare for entry in conformance with the trend and price formation.

ADR plays an important role in my trading. It tells me what pairs to watch. Right now I am watching GBP pairs.

S/R and psych levels are also part of my trading arsenal.

What you see in my chart is the only things I have in my trading.
