Winborn, we all know what instrument you're trading. The ES. Why not enter posts like this: Trade signal #1 "Long @ _________" OR "short @ _______" Then post your trade as it played out by: Trade signal #1 "closed @ ____ for _____ profit/loss" If you do this as you enter/exit trades, it will better resemble the journal entries most here are used to. If you're doing well, it will be easy to see, and no need to do a tally at the end of the day.
Hi BSAM Thank you in advance for all your supports in the past and perhaps in the future. If you remember , there was ( Manage It ) alert in my signals that I've removed it to make the posts shorter. As you see the tally end of the day i didn't count any signal as winner if even they hit the target and then got stop filled. My purpose of mentioned post was to inform every body take the trade under your management and lock on profit, for example ,it's very bad for any trader that got stop filled on signal #5 Oct 1st and didn't move the stop to break even once the market hit target 2times.but i count that as loser signal. Again I'm confirming here I will count signal as winner if i get target filled and as loser If I get stop filled. Hereby I'm requesting you, as an Older member here, to take Arbiter position about The Signals and confirm whether those are winner or loser. Please let me know if you are agree with this. Best Regards
We all recognise your effeorts Winborn.... BUT for the benefit of all reading this thread....you can you confirm whether this a paper trade exercise or simulated account or a real time time account you are trading for these calls... Quite frankly most here would guess it is paper trades or sims..and there is good reason....and absolutely nothing wrong with it, either!! You are doing a fine job with this thread... Good luck next week... NiN
Hi, I thought there is nobody here that ask me this and no need to inform. but maybe i did mistake. I am Trading with Live Account and Real Money, that's why I asked BSAM to become Arbiter and Confirm Filling ( Target or Stop )the orders. Good Luck to Everyone (believers and Doubters)
Well the short answer to your reference to BSAM being 'arbiter' of your signals has no bearing on whether it is a real time money trade unless you can verify the trade with order/execution details from your broker to BSAM. My bet that is not going to happen.......there is a trade from Friday Oct1 alone that will confirm your credibility ... Believe me, I hope you can substantiate the trade...to BSAM et al.. NiN
Not really applicable to Twitter, but here on ET, I'm guessing that posting a quick screen capture of your TWS Trades page (or whatever platform you are using) will go a long way to cut down on the "signal X could not have been filled because..." emails. Throw this in place of your results posting each day because: 1) It's a nice summary. 2) It's a consistent time-stamp. Anyway, just a recommendation.
That is a fair comment...at the end of the day would be sufficient to cover all trades IF in real time trading. NiN
Winborn... Some of the people on this thread are putting up some pretty good comments. I suggest you go with the idea from TheGoonior, as this would seem to satisfy everyone who is interested in your thread. I personally don't always have time to follow things closely enough to be in the positon of referee. The very best source of proof can come from you. You seem like a sincere poster to me. This is a good thread. If you have no doubt that you are what you have indicated to us that you are, then you should have no problem with taking the next step. So, I suggest you post an end of day screen shot. I think most people here want you to be successful. But, if you can satisfy their concerns about a few things, it will probably be good for all. It can be a pretty tough crowd sometimes, making certain requests that maybe you had not anticipated. That's okay, though. If you be reasonable with them, I'm certain that most of the people who are really interested in trading, will be willing to participate in a positive manner here on your thread. I got another important suggestion that I think would be helpful. If you will contact the administrators (Baron or Joe) and have them move this to the Journals Forum, I think it would be more appropriate. The moderator there is called "Magna" and he will omit unwarranted personal attacks. Forty pages and things have been kept pretty much in order. Believe me, for ET that is quite a feat!
To: NIN and TheGoonior Hi, Thank you again for taking your time to posting your opinions. I have already Uploaded 3-4 files on You Tube from my trading platform that contains even account no. which was not secure job. I can't put the link here because I'm not going to promote or advertise anything here but you can find it easily. I'm not using that account any more so, there is no risk for sharing my account details and that will not hurt my privacy. If anybody here can't trust about my trading whether Live or Paper is, I'm asking them, PLEASE IGNORE The SIGNALS. This is what i can do for counting the signal as loser or winner: 1- If the price hit 1 tick higher than the Target, THE SIGNAL IS WINNER. 2- If the price hit Stop Loss, THE SIGNAL IS LOSER. 3- I will try my best to post my management for trade in REAL TIME or less than a minute (typing and sending the post will take at least 35 sec) and by that I will count signal either loser or winner. Very Bad Headache since I started this thread. Best Regards
