CanOz's intermittent and sporadic trades

Hows the coding going?

Ive really nailed it this year , no need to employ anyone now as I reckon I could teach it now , although at some stage id still like to employ a coder to reduce the workload , now that I'm competent I have more ideas than ever and I really need 2 of me . See how it pans out .

Hows the baby , house and job going ? You must be flat out atm , we should catch up again oneday

Copper setting up in a bear wedge. One to keep an eye on.

Canoz just wondering do you use scans to find trades in the futures markets ( indice , comms , energies , softs , fx ) , Ive been looking at scans on daily and even weekly to find some multi day swing trades . Suppose I should really start my own thread , ive only been building/looking at these things a few weeks so I have nothing solid just yet . Mostly energy , Europe indice , hogs and rice on the list to look for swing highs . Mostly FX on the potential swing low list . Will build watchlists and scan for swing reversals moving forwards . Never stop pushing ahead ..

 

[CanOz]

Had a bunch of inside day scans, was looking to spot balance, low volatility...then getting ready intraday....

 

[CanOz]

I do get pattern alerts from IG still. They can be useful for highlighting breakouts.

Had a couple examples of flash crash trades lately, areas where stops are run and the algoes pull the liquidity....In the HG example i was actually short going into the stop run and i covered remotely the whole position. Its not a perfect example as there was some Euro news that interupted the price action. The Dax example is from tonight. I actually mamaged to catch another little flash crash just then on the dax, not the snap back but the liquidity vanishing, while i was short. Will post that one next.

 

[CanOz]

The second time we lost liquidity tonight, bids just evaporated. Gotta cover as the liquidity comes back.

And to top the night off, copper.....off to bed

Best day this month....

CanOz has emailed broker statements to me in relation to the trades documented in his post above and I can confirm that everything checks out and the trades are legitimate.

Never any doubt from us long termers of course but the verification cements it for any new comers Nice going Can ... The confidence you have in your trading has been obvious for a while now so great to see all the hard work is putting "green" on your bottom line Anyone would be happy with that profit for a month let alone a day!!

Don't know about a month but a week would do most , Canoz is all the proof you need to realise hard work is what pays of in this game . I know the type of hours he has put in to get to where he is , probably less hours required to become a doctor . He deserves the rewards coming his way . Well done

Nah, I'd be more than happy with 10K profit a month over the long haul ..... at 10K a week I'd become unbearable to live with lol .. I know you are also doing well Quant... but most of us "punters" are happy to be actually not losing money most of the time! ... again well done Can and lets hope the good run continues ....
ps Quant: you should start your own trading thread

 

[CanOz]

Thanks barney, quant....no shortage of hard yards that's for sure...to quants point in another thread, I could quantify my trading, but it would cost me a ton....time or money or both. Definitely writing some rules around it would be helpful...easy enough to do.

Anyone on the risk off trade?

Best day this month....View attachment 71277

Wow. But other hand maybe this is a small part of your account for example .001%

 

[CanOz]

Had a good day today too, for just one or two trades.....Tried to get long the Dax, again interupted....

 

[Modest]

Great entry and masterful scaling out

 

[Mirus3000]

You are my hero now

 

[CanOz]

Mirus, yesterday was a 4% day for me. Not my biggest but certainly one of the best as far the whole process is concerned...I focused on the process more than the results and I'm happy with that.

 

[CanOz]

Trades missed today....i don't feel bad about these, excited in fact....its great to see things moving again.
