Crude intraday

[ThingyMajiggy]

all hail king CL, another massive night!

this on top of last nights fiesta!

on to another topic, Ninja 7 beta great stuff. has anyone else updated IB? what's with the new auto re-centering that goes on in book trader. I have not noticed any affect on execution but I have not traded while it's counting down.

has anyone more info on this?

cheers

What version of IB are you running? The NT crew say you must use 900.6, most compatible with NT7 apparently. My BookTrader is still the same here, I'm using 900.6 as I had trouble with the latest version of IB and the NT team said go back to 900.6.

Also loving NT7, got some nice features.

Ahh ok, yeah I upgraded a while back to the latest version, but it caused some problems in NT7 with crashing etc. So I had to go back to 900.6. Must say, the NinjaTrader support is pretty awesome, super helpful and fast to respond either by email or on the forum.

Thanks re: the trades. Only 1 trade 1 winner tonight so far, and it was a short believe it or not lol.

 

[MRC & Co]

Hey MRC,

Please forgive my farkin annoying questions again, but I was wondering, are you still trading like this? Why did you stop? (if you did).

That is all

Don't trade like this as of a couple months ago.

Moved into a diff area in the industry which involves more global macro and longer time-frame trading (told you in a PM a while back).

 

[>Apocalypto<]

Missed this one.

Another signal that coincides with a break of a high with very strong support from volume.

good trading,

Come on Saints, big one tonight playing the Dogs!

well done on your short Sam.

I tried to go back over a year last night on SPI data and IB had a hissy fit. So I have to wait to open new charts in Ninja 7 using 6.5 ATM. Today i updated to beta 7 V15

Yeh the Ninja forum is excellent.. not hard to to find an answer there. I have to do more homework on using it's features, i currently just use it for charts, never look into it to much depth.

good trading to you

i haven't moved to nt7 yet... but when I do, will I have to spend hours setting up my trading windows? or will it automatically bring my workspaces across? reckon I could import the workspaces somehow?

Thanks re: the short

You tried going back over a year on IB data?? I'm pretty sure you can only go back 180 days with IB? With SPI you're not going to get a full year of data anyway, just the month its currently in?

No, when you first install 7 it asks you if you want to import everything across from 6.5, workspaces, templates etc. I would say you might need to adjust some settings in the new "Session Manager" because you will probably have data missing on the charts with the time zone differences. But your actual workspace layout should be the same if you choose to import it.

Oh, and if you have any super duper secretive 100% correct forecast the future custom indicators you're using in 6.5, they probably won't work in 7, custom indicators usually need updating to be compatible with 7.

Had a go at 2+ contracts on Friday night, was a bit messy but still a reasonable night, back to 1 contract tonight. I think I'm starting to get more consistent, ever so slowly Still need to control my losses better and cut out the stupid brain fades, like taking trades when I shouldn't based on nothing.

Friday around +75c after brokerage - 6 winners, 7 losers
Tonight around +41c after brokerage - 3 winners, 1 loser

great stuff Sam, well done.

I got on 14 cents last night. from the looks of above your hammering it. I still miss a heap on occasion I have stage fright! I spose that shows I still need more screen time to get used to CL

Yeh I am still stuck in cash land, I won’t be trying to pull more than 100 days in spi data again anytime soon!

Yeah thats the thing with CL, there is so much opportunity, 9 times out of 10 I could reverse and get a move back the other way as well, or I'll tend to stop trading because I don't want to give anything back, even though there are still great trades to be made, like last night I could have gotten probably another 40 cents if I had responded fast enough, but didn't want to give any of it back too soon

Good to see you guys going so well with CL.

:bowdown: Hail, the CL king! :bowdown:

Haha cheers 4s

lol.

Last few nights have been a bit of a struggle for me.

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

lol.

Ahhh do not fear, you will have recovered and probably be up 35% by nightfall

after a few trades I run out of balls, start to think, this can't be this good! but 9 times out 10 they're.

each day I learn more so happy with it all. it a fantastic market.

keep charging Sam.

 

[>Apocalypto<]

Don't worry Nomore, like sam said sue ypou will be firing in no time.

Good to see you guys going so well with CL.

Nothing like Sam & yourself Nomore!, trying to get a little further each day. I have basicly stopped looking at FX as well, check out two pairs once a day to two days.

what i have seen and am seeing no need as it takes up time.

I always had a doubt about sub 5min trading but that's slowy going away since I start on CL. But having you two here also trading sub 5min helps a lot.

attched was a small asian session short, I didn't take it. nice break of the intraday range to support the signal.

Cheers & good trading

What a crazy night on Crude! I was spewing, had to go out last night so didn't get any of it.

It took 4 days to climb from 82 to 87 then gives it all back in one night haha

Anyone get some of it??

I managed to get a few cents out of it, should have been more if I wasn't such a dedicated member of the F.E.S.T.U club but I can't really complain.
