  1. Adding AUD/USD short bias today. I understand this creates synthetic short AUD/GBP bias but I'm just going to let the algo run on both pairs.

  2. 1 algo daytrade in GBP/USD +71 pips, and holding the swing long which is up around 90 pips.
    Got short AUD/USD currently - 25 pips.
    Got short silver near the close today.

    Fri pm 2 bearish trades with TIGHT mental stops....
    Long Puts QQQ atm 2 week expiry, for retest of recent low
    Bear 241/243 SPY call spread 4 week expiry, thinking political crap continues
    But, definate up side risk if crap dies down, market wants to go higher on fundamentals, hence tight stops

  4. I hope it works out but all my tools are saying buy, if anything.

    Interestingly to me, I am getting sell signals in silver(and am short) and buy signals in gold. I got another buy signal in GBP/USD long Friday, so pretty happy with that position. Aud/USD short I'm not so happy about but my tools are still saying short. I'm probably going to have the algo trade USD/CAD from the long side starting tomorrow night. Definitely having it trade long on GBP/JPY.

    EUR/USD is interesting. It is going straight up but my tools are all remarkably neutral on it. I'm really not sure what to make of it so I'm just staying out of that move but watching it with interest.

    Stopped on the QQQ, hold SPY bear call spread with stop at 241
    I should have acted on the second part of my previous opinion

    Not too familiar with Donchian, how are you using this ? Channel looks rather long term (?)

  8. I'm doing some troubleshooting of my auto setup this week, and running it on:

    Long: AUD/JPY, GBP/JPY, CAD/JPY
    Short: EUR/USD

    I know the EUR/USD short bias is countertrend. I'm going off my spreadsheet, we'll see what happens. Still short silver and long GBP/USD.

    So I still have my bear call 241/243 spread open, getting beaten up pretty bad. Expiry 6/16.
    Normally would have taken loss at 241, but entered a long 242 call expiry 6/2

    Theory..spy rally continues post Memorial Day then pulls back before expiry on my spread. we'll see.

  10. I ran my autotrade stuff last week on 5 minute charts to find any bugs. It got lucky and managed to make a few pips while I fixed a few little problems but I don't think it can make money on that fast of timeframe. I'm shifting it to the 4hr chart I intend to run it on. I'll make some choices tonight, not going to run it today.

    For my conservative account, I'm working on a stock screening method right now. I'll post more once it is closer to being ready for testing. It will not be an autotrade system but a true EOD long/short system based on ACD.
