    My problem - I am actually picking the market really well. ...; rather than being gun shy I am being trigger happy....and hence getting chopped a little too much (the obvious reversal advice from just do it to just stop doing it might be all its needed) however I would be interested in what others do to curb this horrible horrible affliction.

    i can tell... i kinda suffered a lot from the very same condition...

     

    1. define it in details. pride and greed/practicality... greed is why you trigger too early - why should u give up few ticks, you know u r always right ;) pride makes you hold on the losing trade saying - you cant be wrong, it is just a chop.

     

    2. tell urself - i dont want a trouble sitting through the chop. markets arent bound to move my ways they can turn on a blink of an eye. i want to jump in when market made a decision and the move is imminent, i am ok to pay couple of ticks for comfort and dry shirt

     

    it works. i now can slip once in a while and jump earlier than i really wanted but if it starts to chop i am immediately get alerted and am looking to exit with 1tick profit or breakeven and then to enter again as i had to not as my ego/greed tells me..

     

    in short - name the root of the problem and extract it methodically.

    you have to understand that what you are saying: i am tired of working hard on my own strategies, making few bobs here as there. although i dont believe in miracles, but i am hoping for one. please tell me this is possible - invest a 100 buck and get rich next day. never work again. please please

     

    here my response - yes it is possible, go for it!

     

    see i am very humanistic

    what has changed? what do you think now? both are useless? :) spare me few tries and errors :) I'll buy you a beer :)

     

    no I simply plotted CVD with B/A and U/D ticks for couple of weeks.. and I couldnt trade ticks.. just makes no sense..

     

    I talked about Fulcrum CVD all the way.. I dont care about other "studies".

     

    IMHO - All studies are crap if they can be found publicly :rofl:

    ditto - factor something into your plan of how to deal with this - eg; walk away..
    If he could walk away he would.. but then why is he asking? ;)

     

    buy yourself a trained monkey. when the chimp see -$5000 anywhere on the screen he beats you bad so you have to run away for day or two :)

     

    I am sure you will find this expense very worth to make.

    or finally get yourself Windows 7 and forget all this BS.

     

    I dont use antivirus for about 6 years and had 2 or 3 minor trojans sniked through the dodgy website in those 6 years. But I used Vista and W7 all the time.

     

    Dont make your life more difficult than it is already

    eh? what market makers?

     

    ah! you mean those secret services who hold UFO in Nevada in secrecy, the fake US moon landing austronauts, the globalists pigs, the mormons, the mason lodges, the dirty rich bankers, the hippy neighbours, the loud music playing greaseheaded teens, the prostitutes, the asylum seekers, the islamists, the communists, the pink floyd, the microsoft.....

     

    I hear you brother! they are everywhere! they around you... if you look close enough you will see they are already inside you!

     

    there is no escape!

     

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    from my personal use of CVD - B/A has 25% efficience (which is high) and up/dn tick = 00000000... which for me doesnt mean up/dn tick 25% less efficient :) for me that mean - useless ;)

     

    P.S. I use very few indicators (2-3 at a time). so may be I am not the one to argue on this :helloooo:

    Sorry I don't follow you argument - its performance related and requires loads of practice.

     

    You learn to ride a bike using stabilisers. :)

     

    TradeRunner

    No. You learn that way. And I dont.

     

    But the argument was - drawing and reading about bicycles, learning how to fix them and names of the part but never riding them....

     

    that is correct analogue to paper trading vs live trading...... this is how I see it.

    nah.. this is another spreadbetting/forex/bucket shop/etc victim.. he is saying - once you showed the money the ugly criminals who call themselves a broker will crawl out of the shadows and take it all! (this is not how do I think - I am trying to interpret :))

     

    :haha:

    You can read his lips:

     

    "Why did I click that red button?! WTF! What does Sell mean?! I have very bad feeling about this -25K figure on the screen!! Whatever it is Don Antonio is not going to like it! OMFG!! I have to fly to Siberia and hide amongst the white bears!! No more pizza for little Giovanni!... Why I ever click wrong buttons! "

     

    the other version:

     

    "I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight!"

    the problem is that pulling similar threads from the big clue doesnt really help to make it neat :)

     

    because markets are not analogue. between trades there are no time no space no nothing as some would say ;)

     

    acceleration on discretional process then will be bunch of differential equations with d2x/dt which has no precise solution..

     

    you are 10000000000000001st who tries to apply elementary school knowledge on markets...

     

    good luck

     

    p.s. ask Urma - he is an old far... erm ... quant here..

     

    p.p.s. every time I log in to this forum I remember urma. and almost always I remember next to it - the character from Little Britain - Daffyd - the only gay in the village. then I have very happy few minutes laughing... "only" is the keyword.. thank you old clown.

    OK. I thought you havent done... because cum delta up/dn ticks makes no sense whatsoever. while cvd on bid/ask volume makes sense most of the time...

     

    i tried it for iqfeed and barchart.... perhaps your experience varies... good for you! :)

    I hate programming debates. but just to let you know - it works. in large real-time projects like trading platforms for real banks.

     

    ninja is not that bad either. if you try and make same application as Ninja using C++ you will need x2 time and x4 money for high level C++ devs and the interface will be ugly and every upgrade/fix will cost you x4...

     

    Also there are much less really skilled C++ people on the market who can do the job. so your chances to hire morons skilled in taking through the interview process is very high. so basically C++ project like this would never happen because it will collapse in the middle.
