LOL. Now 177 tick back the other way. in 5 mins. Any takers for a 200 tick reversal in the next 30 min?

Now thats a market. How could you trade anything else?

Here is some recorded video I took of the HSI tonight, man this thing can move fast!

Timing entry would require some skill and knowledge of the index I reckon. Studying numerous runs like this video would be helpful to get a feel for the index's trading patterns.

Good one. Thats not bad at all. Mine looks very similar - just a few more contracts thrown around.

Wondering how many full or mini contracts would you average per day?

(So I can tell my friends )

I can't tell you that Lets just say enough to get 1/2 price brokerage

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

You bastard thats some nice brokerage, did they offer that to you? Where do you get your news from?

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

This is what happens when you come back to find you've somehow been in a trade the whole time. managed to get it + again in the current session at least This HSI certainly has some action I think this is the first time I've actually been puffed whilst trading lol.

Lucky its sim.

Note to self, make SURE no orders are hiding in the corner.

LOL! thats not a bad effort. Another one to watch out for is the closing times. I've been stun bad there before. (not on sim either).

nice work TH

how do you mean 'SIM' Sam? Are you on the simulator? I tried HSI a while ago but was too crazy for me

Looking like the imminent correction wasn't so far away after all her. FTSE now off 5% from the h&s target, US on a plunge, gold back below 1100, NZD getting dumped against GBP. Good stuff

Yes on simulator, using live market feed, just a paper account One would be insane to go live on this thing straight up.

Hi Sam, when on the sims, just beware that the real HSI is a fair bit harder, due to around a full 1/2~1 second of lag on the real thing (HSI is an old exchange and its far far away)
Also how fast does the NT sim refresh? Once every 0.5sec ?

NT just uses the data you give it. Its fully dynamic. Though IB data isn't, think its every 0.2 sec.

And yep its a bit harder getting an execution in the HSI when your 1-2 sec behind everyone else, thats 30 ticks sometimes.

Yeah I realised that, thought I was doing OK yesterday but I guess not in reality

Ah well, heres todays efforts, some was through IB paper account with the lag, most wasn't though. Using the Sim101 account with IB data. Only a few trades but kinda rushed as I'm supposed to be going out tonight so shouldn't really be trading at all right now, want to keep going but I better not Couldn't help myself though, man its had some crazy surges tonight.

there are safer & less stressful ways to make a turn imo Sam - not sure how TH does it, he must be able to focus very well


Update on GBP-NZD - looks to be running out of steam

 

[Wysiwyg]

I like Edwood's examples of Andrew's Pitchfork from a median line. Has me interested in this type of T.A. which I haven't really looked into that much. Thanks and well done.

Okay, thanks.
