Nice trading Ras!

I'm being crucified with touches and no fills! also programmed it to auto BE+1 when up 6 and it's cost me a series of +1's when it ran onto +24 and +18 straight after... that takes some dealing with psychologically! )

Similar thing here, CG - and E beat me again ;-)

I realise that I have to make some small mods to suit my own style, so JTLabs will be working round the clock for the next few days. I have to clarify two components for myself :

1. When to hold a retest of my entry rather than take that +1.
2. The actual entry level : I may make it 1 tick inside the extreme of the 3 point bar : this gives a safer entry with a potentially tighter stop at the expense of more no-fills.

I am NOT suggesting in any way, shape or form that anyone else should do anything other than follow The VapeMaster precisely !

You can move stop to -5 When up 6 or wait till bar closed but Wednesday is not a good day to test ideas try another day

Very interesting AI news

http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/r...-poker-players

I bet this will eventually affect trading. Sure there are lot's of bots already but rise of the new type of AI is a big thing. Constantly changing and adaptive strategy. Really really intriguing! Poker has been game that was thought no computer can beat humans, but now it happened.

I thought I explained that in video the 123 was to far down when you get big swings like that you need to wait till it resumes its regular waving pattern and when it did time ran out

Do you mean that pretty much everybody trades different timeframes and systems and that brings so much variation to the markets?

I'm getting really mad about these candlestick differences I have compared to you guys. I've done everything I could to correct any error. I have absolutely no idea where the problem is. It is a paid datafeed, this method uses Volume Candlestick so time is absolutely irrelevant.
Last year we compared my data with a friend that uses IQFeed services and the difference when using numbers bar was max 1% (Most of the time we get the same values). I'm pretty sure that numbers bars are more sensitive to error then simple Volume candlestick.
No wonder I'm having more and more loosing trades because I see a completely different picture :-(((

been following, but just started sim trading the method this week. was reckless mon and tues (overtrading) slowed down today and was +24. james, mine are different too (same shapes, but entry may be a tick difference) sometimes in my favor other times a little worse entry. The method is there just keep practicing until confident and compare ur trades at the end of the session with H's

If i 'buy/sell @ market', my positions do not automatically add the stop& limit as it does so, preset in my limit order option... anyone tell me how to add a stop and limit manually to a position if it is already open? it doesn't appear available by right click...

Simple bracket with stop and limit so when you use limit or stop or market order they will appear

Ah, i was already using 'simple bracket', but maybe the last time i tested it was before i had sussed that out, so there actually was no need for me to ask, it was actually set right... cheers anyways! )

Hi guys,
Have done a replay of today using the advance key 1 candle at a time. Just wanted to compare my progress with H's rules. Only for US Open 1st hour. My time shows 3.30 on the chart but that is 9.30 NY.
Now will watch Harold's video to compare.
