{quote} Billy's input and anyone else would be good. Billy is not a fan of ea's though. Agree 100% that will need human intervention at some point had this discussion a few years ago with Hanover.

Claudia.....you and I have had this conversation / discussion a couple of times over the years

There will ALWAYS be a need for human intervention at some point.....you simply cannot write code that covers every decision that a prop trader makes.

I have a couple of EA's and a couple of Tradestation strategies that are really good at getting me into positions at proper levels..... The exits are the hard part because that is where the money is made. Things such as "how" a pair or index approach a support or resistance level make all the difference in the world on what you do

I agree, i have followed many threads and when the EA gets introduced, the trade plan falls apart somewhat due to the EA not working properly,

It is great to see the stats from other traders performance, I have learnt a lot from posts/ charts and other stuff, thanks all..

I have started a Trade explorer and it is showing green,,Haha...I will explore it a bit more as it is all new at the mo...

Another good Asian session for me yesterday....I think I like this quieter time as there is no news to blow me away ...

Cheers all. Take Care :-)

i had trouble with broker earlier, I normally use my daughters account to trade but they upgraded the account which i did not want. the offer of very tight spread was not needed.Anyway i won and managed to keep the standard account. My one is ok but that is a different story.

Caught the LONG break of 07-30 candle on FTSE100 for a nice +30. Decided to drill down from 1h to 30min this morning as market looked nicely coiled.

Just picked up +5 A/U SHORT too.
Good start to the morning. :-)

Hi all, Shorted Dax off the 07-00 bar for a few then longed it off the 07-00 High. I almost traded off the 06-00 . Trades went very well especially the long. Still not sure how to trade this. I have a short running on A/U .

Thanks Billy. I doubt it was and would not normally have done it. Only reason I did today is that trade was:
trade was very tightly coiled near the day open. Agree that it would not be wise generally...
