Yeah, that is a damn early start every day lol.
Haha, I guess we should both ask CanOz whether we can use his thread! By all means post up how you're going
Forgive the ignorance, what's your y-axis?
Cents up or down on the left and number of trades on the bottom

Sam, why not start a new CL thread, I've been practicing on it and gold for weeks now in preparation for a combine later. Would be happy to post the days practice results with you.

First day really getting back into it after a somewhat draining week away from the computer.
Finally got the hotkeys working properly for IBs book trader and the execution is so much quicker than with mouse.
I've got buy and sell markets, buy and sell limits and cancel orders all on the keys now in familiar combinations.
Got to watch most of the arvo session yesterday and was very happy with taking a bread and butter trade selling 499 after the last push to a high with a slight descending top.
All of 2013 and most of 2012 1min charts (5min collection lagging behind lol) now printed out and in folders, still doing continued analysis on them as I start to recognise more characteristics of the seng.

So you finding in value in doing that?
Definitely. Some of the things I've noticed when looking at the static bigger picture have changed the way I process things as they're happening.

Yeah I puked out on the second last low. Turns out not a bad trade. Though now cutting myself to bits trying to play a break higher..
Looks like there is someone just trying to peg it lower....
EDIT:
HA! Just like that,

And so that is what they wanted....
Its easy to know that "they" are doing when you have the Freemasons code..
:Sold 367 just before I had to go with a 10 tick above arvo session high stop and a 315 limit buy. It looks to have really cleared the opening bar range coming back down but now stuck firmly inside it.
