Re: The Chimp`s new "Futures Scalps"

Hi gecko!
these two "chimps futures scalps' and 'chimp futures scalps2' zip files are chart-template and NOT indicators !
So you have to open the zip and copy the file inside in your ninja-folder for chart-templates.
Impoting via script-import is not possible/necessary for these files.

hope that helps ....

by the way : walter has been MIA ... - what does it means ?

Re: The Chimp`s new "Futures Scalps"

ok thanks, will give it a try, that is what I thought. I thought they were chart templates putting all the indicators together in the chart properly, but i did not want to unzip and open anything and screw things up so I thought I would ask first for some guidance, thanks. MIA means missing in action, i guess walter has not visited tl in quite some time to chat or post.

Re: The Chimp`s new "Futures Scalps"

I enjoyed the presentation. Is it possible to set this up in TradeStation? I'll be looking into it in any case. I guess I must be a scalper at heart cause when I try to trade another why it doesn't work for me. I want to get in fast and get out fast with a small but dependable profit

Yes it is possible as I've already coded them in TS, they'll probably be posted on this thread somewhere, if not they be on the VMA research thread.

Hope this helps

The MT4 platform on the M1 does work for trading YM futures, especially during US market hours.

Following is a sampling of trades.

Re: The Chimp`s new "Futures Scalps"

Hi Walter,

I've really enjoyed your post...very informative. I need to take some time to set up some charts and test your method.

I do have some questions? If you answered these earlier...my apologies...please bare with me.

You mentioned that you usually target 5 ticks. Sometimes more...sometimes less?

What is your daily goal for the number of ticks you want to achieve in a day?

How many contracts do you normally trade?

It seems that with this small number of ticks, your broker is making a good living off you every day?

Am I missing something here?

Looking at your setups and your chart examples...it seems clear that you had many, many opportunities to let your trade run into rather large winners?

Thank you again for the time you put into this post...and thank you to all the other members that contributed to this post...it was awesome.

Hi Walter,

I have another question?

What is your winning percentage? It seems that it would be very high?

Thanks again.

Hi Rocky, fixed targets its a way of taking sure profits from a much smaller range than the statistical range average moves have... still you may have a good "potencial" RRR on your favor... also you can control your greed wich some times it may be lethal for many traders...

Oportunities may vary depending on the day, but as I am actually doing on forex, coming out with a fixed target works very well... yes my broker is happy, my acct as well... glad you enjoyed my thread, you can also visit my site. cheers Walter.
