Scalping the HSI & the K200 (SIM)

Is there a tool one can get or a setting to enable so that I can see a countdown to when the bar on the chart will be closed?

i remember reading on th's blog he used a countdown clock. I think he used ninjatrader so I assume it still has that function

EDIT:

no latency

Damn! Thought it was finally my turn to have a good morning. Made 4 good trades in succession so started to get a bit of confidence but quickly lost all that lol!

Wait, so those equity curves you're posting are live or sim? Because if you're losing 500 to 2000 points/$$? in a session on live, I suggest a change lol

One extra trade, small winner. Almost got caught on the wrong side of that 60 tick short bar.
Didn't recognise any signals this morning for longer trades, blows.

Ha, na not points, I wish I had that much capital, that's in HKD. So yeah, it is adding up yepppppp...
So I had in mind that 10,000hkd would be my first drawdown cut off point (which is approaching regrettably) to go back on sim. My weakness with sim is that its ****ing boring trading sim live day in day out especially when you're trying to progress in life and putting in hard yards and significant people in ones life think you're just playing around on a simulator. Mind you that's no reason to lose money you're right. In a nutshell, learning to trade and trying to do it full time on your own $$$ while having no other income but all the expectations and pressure in the world is ****ing bs **** **** **** hate this bull**** wanker **** bugger LOL.

lol...must be HKD....?

By the way, who's driving the Asian bus lately anyway, seems the NK is doing a pretty good job of leading everything else...

Swap to sim and make back the mornings losses in the first 10 mins. :bad:



Also, NTs bar close is exactly 7 secs after IB closes its 1min bars. Will have to figure this one out through tech support me thinks.

 

[boofis]

Trembling Hand would you mind sharing, and I ask purely out of curiosity, what your quantity of winning days compared to losing days is for say the past 3 months or something? And then winning weeks to losing weeks?
I'd be intrigued to see the distribution if you'd indulge. All good if not.

Also, I just tried to get filled market then and my order just sat there and never got filled, is it lagging for anyone else?

NT's bar close works off your PC clock. If you want them to match, you'll need to sync your PC clock to IB's clock before you start NT. If it's important to you, don't forget to resync each day as your PC clock drifts away from IB's fairly quickly. Well mine does anyway.

Thanks Lone Wolf, that sped up the problem solving rather quickly. Very handy indeed!

There's a link for anyone following along who may experience time sync issues in the future. Windows 7 has capability to automatically sync on an indefinite basis at predetermined intervals which is handy.
Thanks to Lone Wolf!
