Scalping the HSI & the K200 (SIM)

Learning note * When a string of losers is starting to develop, stop and reassess. Easy to get frustrated and flip and reverse. :eek:

I haven't showed much potential on choppy range days yet. Stacking around levels seems to just get me stopped out so I'm not sure if I'll loosen the stop or just try something else.

Things to note: much smaller holding time (hasn't ever shown to be a good thing in my results yet lol) and a bigger number of trades.

*Idea: when things start to shape up like I'm being tossed about with poor decisions in choppiness, then jump over predominantly to the 5min and take fewer signals waiting for turning points on it rather than the 1 min. See how it goes.
 
Are you keeping an overall record, as in total trades and overall win/loss data etc?

Thinking of keeping a tally of 1000 trades or something when I start doing this, maybe keep doing blocks of 1000 trades and changing small things until I find what is causing my problems, rather than just a session at a time.

Keep it up :)

Hmmm I've been keeping an overall record for my live stuff but haven't really for replay cause on ninja everytime you do a session then go back in time it erases the records of that session I've just done. SOOooo I like the idea, and might check out what I can do about it.

Thanks mate!

Yeah wondered if it did that or not, I was thinking just screenshot it when you're done at the end and put it into an excel spreadsheet or something to keep a total tally :xyxthumbs

Yeah spose I could go back through this thread and put the stats in but that seems like alot of work also lol.

I might just do replay in month blocks now and work forward for the month, that should solve the issue.

Facepalm of the morning: configuring Booktrader.
 
Question to anyone who might be able to answer it:

I've got my default order size set to 2 ctr on MHI, and I've put a button decrease order size by 1 on the Booktrader buttons section, but it doesn't work :confused::confused::confused:
 
No, see the top Hotkey. Thats the cancel button. Reckon its done more miles than a Melbourne Taxi driver.

What is this range?! Feels like I'm trading the aussie bonds :bad:

Well today is Monday, and a holiday in the US...so a quiet day is on the cards from the get go, plus its a light news day in Europe....

Was there really 2.4k volume at 4:15 or is that a glitch from IB to NT? Cause it's not on the IB chart :\
 
:mad::mad::mad::mad: stopped out on every trade thus far from wanting it to go further into the green and instead having it come back against me :banghead:
