Scalping the HSI & the K200 (SIM)

How do you get it to record trade stats in on market replay? Doesn't seem to be doing it!

You have to select the market replay account

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

Yeah I have, doesn't generate anything even though I've done about a million trades, doing the stay-in-the-market-at-all-times-and-just-flip exercise

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

Ahhh hang on, didn't realise it had to be on the dates of the replay data to show the stats, I've got it set on today trying to generate, but I'm replaying thursdays/fridays data so it needed to be set on those dates then generated....kinda weird and annoying but oh well.

It's a fairly handy function though, cause you can select time segments from your trading e.g. the 1st month, and observe your entire stats or specify for the day.

What do you mean?

I can't seem to load the replay data very well so just using my own session from last couple days.

First and second attempts, constantly in the market and just flipping(or adding to, up to 10 lots). Second time around I tried to do the opposite of the first attempt, doesn't quite work as expected, bloody human nature

All on CL.

I just mean in terms of being able to selectively show your stats for certain date ranges. I think that's a handy function NT has.

The replay data on the stick? Make sure you're using the right contract month etc. that was my early mistake, as HSI continuous doesn't work for me so everytime I'm loading older data I have to use that specific contract and if I want to go earlier than 2011 I have to change the date on my computer and then NT syncs with it and you can load earlier charts, pain in the **** but it's the only way to do it.

Better. Used 2 lots only.

Dunno if I'm trading better or just getting to know this session too well haha, just using the same session.

Oh just using the DOM for this too, no charts and using hotkeys to hit @ market at 8x speed, for those interested! Also only half as many trades with this time around.

Obviously speed would be a factor live, as well as brokerage, but I want to go through a deliberate set of exercises and concentrate on one thing at a time until I'm satisfied, rinse and repeat, just need more data!

Just an idea, but while reading Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance, I have been prompted to rehearse two different replay sessions: the first is purely observation of the price action as it takes place not doing anything but watching and thinking about what it's doing, where it's going etc. and not losing focus at all. The second is actual trade execution, so being able to watch and recognise correctly what's going on and then having the speed aswell as recall to be able to execute on the recognition that's taking place in your head.

Just an idea as the whole theme of the book has been about deliberacy of action and participation of the time spent on the skill, aswell as a very formulated and step by step process to expertise under the guidance of a teacher/mentor. The latter being hard to come by in trading but we're definitely very lucky here on the forum with the old hands that kick about

Hot dang! Would have thought the HSI would go up 400 not down 400pts from the open!
I guess a 20pt rally on the ES ain't good enough anymore...

Not me!

Yep HSI and China are giving no respect for the US moves lately

Looks like some big action. Kudos on the fill TH, nice read.
I'm only glancing at the markets today after receiving some less than average news late yesty arvo about family members health
A day off and reminding myself there'll be plenty of more opportunities to 'make it' in the future.

Oh! that don't sound good. Yeah blow the markets. Does no one any good if you are, rightly, thinking about other stuff.

Sorry to hear and hope everything works out well. You know what the priorities are... get off the screen and get on the phone and talk with the families.

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

Hope they're okay buddy Just went through something similar myself, markets are always there tomorrow!

Why can't all my entries be this good? 1 tick off the low! Sometimes we just fluke it right? It made me all warm and fuzzy inside

 

[boofis]

Thanks for the thoughts guy, will just have to wait and see how it all turns out now.

Sam, are you using data off the stick to do that replay?

No that was actually live at the time, not a replay. There's pretty much no CL data on the stick because it's all recorded during the honkers session so I'm recording my own for a few months and will be replaying it on weekends

Ah kk, what are your intended trading hours eventually then if you don't mind me asking?

Europe/London to US open possibly, depends when I get off work(different every day), how much sleep I can get etc. Because I need to be up at 4 every morning, so that kinda narrows it down a bit!

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

Ahh CL is great tonight, nice moves and super readable

Half hours worth with 2 lots max before I nod off, it really helps after trading at 10x speed on replays then having a go on the live market, loving it

P.S - boofis do you mind me using this thread or should I make my own?(or just shut up haha).
