No Progress (frustration)

Recommended Posts

75% profitable from 10-13 to 10-31...only like 5-6 trades though.. but still gives me hope. just quit job that was taking all my spare time up. so now I am working less hours at another job so Ill be able to sim trade 3-4 nights/ week. Id like to still be 75% through december, then I think I will be ready to go live again.

There are many ways to trade profitably

 

For the Christmas holiday I would like to generate some extra cash so I am going back to my

roots trading the overnight market

 

The attached capture is my screen setup....As you can see, at first glance it is simple with three screens...DAX and then two ES screens showing different time frames....I read the DAX for general direction and trade one of the two shorter time frames depending on a couple of variables

 

Not going to put on a seminar but just want to suggest that the orginal poster look to simpilify, test carefully to make sure you actually HAVE an edge, then after you have sim traded successfully, simply aim to trade with discipline (take all the trades, stay with solid risk management and make sure to take profits and do not under any circumstances let a profit turn into a loss). After you resolve the technical issues, success is all about your ability to perform consistently....

 

 

Good luck

Interesting. Haven't run into many using a 45 second bar chart!

 

I wonder, have you also tried using the FESX instead of the DAX, since the DAX can be such a wild dragon? Or maybe that is why you found it to be a better leading indicator.

one of my chart uses 102 minutes. I am sure you have never heard of that either.

So I guess I will just say this...worrrying about the nominal time frame is what retail traders do, as if the time frame offers some edge.....it doesn't...

 

I use two time different time frames and it is the offset between the two that provides part of my edge...I leave it to others to do the research...

 

Good luck folks.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
