CanOz's intermittent and sporadic trades

[ThingyMajiggy]

Hey snap!! My last almost 100 trades on the Dax, pity mine isn't real like yours though Nice job!

Nice work though, whats stopping you from converting to a live account now? Looks like an adge there.

I've got 1100 simulated outcomes since i rebuilt my mobo and went only with NT8. I still use simulated trades when i can't be around to manage a trade, simply to see how the trade hypothesis worked out and to refine the exit management. This was a key driver for me using pre-programmed trade management strategies to reduce my risk and take profits at specific R levels. If i'm avialable to get into a trade and manage it though, i don't want to miss an oppotunity for a 'fat pitch' if its given to me so i'm pretty pissed if i select the wrong account.

NFP tonight, will have a look at the data and work out a plan.

A Nice little GC trade off a ledge profile (incomplete), that morphed into a channel after i got into it, then the channel failed spectacularly with a huge iceberg order getting smashed and then unloading the position on the retest...great to watch. Another ledge play for the collection. The perfect entry on this was the retest of the VAL but i entered too early.

The last 100 trades chart is really interesting and good for people to see how it comes in bursts

 

[CanOz]

Was nicely in front today but managed to p*ss it away on crappy trade ideas. Should have been looking at cl and hg.

A mixed bag tonight....NFP in 2 hours

 

[CanOz]

A quiet day Monday. Two trades, a nice breakout on the 6B and a failed CL trade. Wish i'd studied the CL trade a few moments longer, the short side was so obvious in handsight, pretty disappointed i let my bias interfere so greatly,

Hi TM
I am trading the 'Dax' by analysing on NT8 with VP but executing on the Pepperstone Ger30. 1 lot is about $1.50 per point aud so sufficient granularity to position size with a small account. If things go well I will ditch the cfd and move onto the futures contract. So far the execution has not been a problem.
Just a thought.

Been a quiet week, i've been fighting off the flu and had the oldest kid on my own whilst the other two family members were away.....anyway, i though i'd post some FTSE charts for Kid....

Working on my custom Auction Theory bars...i'll be able to compile statistics with these and see how/when certain patterns in the order flow work better than others. These are a 10 range bar that also shows the VPOC for that range profile. I've hidden the other volume because for all intents and purposes it is irrelevant. In Auction Theory the trend is said to be aging as the value areas become stacked closer together. There are also some interesting volumes at the pivots.

Nice, looking slick CanOz....I like that first pivot...VPOC at the bottom of the bar indicating some absorption...Delta was diverging then went positive on that absorption up bar....Also outside of the 1 std dev of VWAP. I'd be interested to see what stats you pull from it. You could even make an indicator that plots the VPOC distance relative to the last bar and use it for divergences etc

 

[CanOz]

A work in progress, a system based on order flow or volumes at price and delta divergences.

 

[CanOz]

This things is having ball today...

 

[CanOz]

Was quite happy I held onto my runner last night...been waiting for that move in Cl for days....just lucky I was at the desk.

 

[CanOz]

While the US sleeps GC quietly gets a bid....target circa 1295

I got stopped out of little trade after the NFP announcement and i was too tired to stay up....just lucky to have sat down when this was setting up today. 1 off and two contracts left.
