  1. CF
    As in the few posts ago
    with these order

    Pair Sell Buy
    EUR/USD 1.6354 1.5497
    USD/JPY 106.8440 98.2438
    GBP/USD 2.0292 1.9613

    it sort of works with having an inventory of order

    while the whole out Look is Manage the trading as in a fund
    OK goes off a little here and there...but having a good idea on what those offs are to the margin

    using 90th pecentile is good for cause I donot want to more then
    10% of the margin

    so out a 100 orders 10 Might be active at any one time
    could reach 18
    but still ok with the margin

    say I want to work with 95th Percentile (Controlable before trading or Placing orders)
    for that I Can Increase the orders to 200
    and still have an avg of 10 active...see what I mean?

  2. CF: been in and out getting kit organised but still managed to get lots of PIB. This is what I was looking at and how squashed-up I keeo this chart. Did you catch the horns (double top) and if not is there a reason? Hourly chart not totally clear but that could be the hourly swing.

  4. Hope your new hardward and software working well...

    The reason I didn't take horns is simple... Still don't see them as part of my methodology, getting used to S/R plays off 1min so far (plus my old stuff of course).

    I saw the double horns, took it at 46, but had second thoughts because I saw too much support under it and covered at 45, should have let it run to 38 at least ... instead went long there at 38.5 and sold at 46.

  8. ok that will continue to develop. 1 min Horns are hot. Using S&R on 1 min takes time to learn and you are doing well. What I always try to do is roll timeframes. If I get a signal on the 1 min I am looking for a signal to fire off on the 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min. 30 min and hour. Rolling like this will help you to either hang in there or get in when you miss and entry.

    You had a signal on the 5 min that you would have taken if the chart was 1 min - a mini flying knife - just 2 bars but that's all you need.

    Try and keep in mind the way I clock watch. We are approaching the close of the hour and hourly traders can control size. If i am looking for a reversal i like it to hang close to the high of the hour in the last 10 mins.

    Your 5 is dead fluid as I type

  9. Yoohoo,

    Yeah effectively viewing a picture across many TF's is what I have yet to learn.
