    We are thinking about opening an Online Trading Room - if there is enough interest. Initially - we would show the ES and MES - just to keep things simple. Traders will see the Algorithmic Signals appear on the chart - they decide to Enter the trade or NOT. After the trade has been Entered - just wait for the Exit Signal. Of course - you would have to keep an eye on the charts - just like you do your own charts.

    The charts will show from 1 to 20 contracts and their exits If you are Scalp trading 1 contract - you would take the First Exit ---- 2 contracts - the First and Second Exits ---- and so on. While I doubt most traders will come close to trading 10 to 20 contracts - the Algo will show the Signals.

    This Algo - with Multiple Contracts - you can Scalp and/or Trend trade - on the same trade. While the Algo can be Backtested - that is NOT required. The Algo Settings for use on a Minute chart - can be used on Range Bars - Tick Charts - etc.

    We may Lease the Algo - but it will be too Expensive for most traders. We currently Lease Algos to some CTA's and CPO's - and some High Net Worth traders - but they are totally different Algos.

    Please send us a Message in ET - if you would like to see the charts in Real Time - we have nothing to hide - you will see the Signals - just like we do. If enough traders contact us - with an interest in the Online Trading Room - we will open the room. We will NOT make any big promises that a trader will be successful trading our Algos - because WE_YOU - can LOSE with the Algos also.

    Charts will be shown using Zoom. We encourage traders to ask questions.

    Examples of charts that may be shown in the trading room.

    Not sure how to send messages on this site. I'm interested in the Zoom room. Very small trader here though. Only micros.

    Click on "VSTscalper" - I think you can send me a Private Message from there - but not sure. It has been a long time since I was active on ET - now old - don't remember.

    Years ago - back in the middle 1990's - I was just like any other new trader - looking for a way to trade successfully. I took a lot of expensive classes - where I learned how to LOSE money FASTER - purchased a lot of trading books - then threw most of them away. I finally decided I needed to try coding my own Algorithmic Systems (A.S.). I coded systems - based on many popular indicators - with varying degrees of success. But my most successful systems - are based on Price ONLY - nothing else. And - when I code - I could care less about Backtesting - months and years ago - as I have found - MOST SYSTEMS WILL FAIL at some point - usually in Weeks to Months - and they will FAIL DRASTICALLY. While my Algos can be Backtested - the difference between success long-term or fail (usually short-term) - is how the system is coded.

    While I do use my own Algorithmic System for trading - my favorite trading method - which I still do trade at times - is a Discretionary Trading Method I really like - where I use Support and Resistance - and One Indicator that I developed long ago - for Scalping - because I absolutely LOVE SCALPING. Actually - I also use it for Scalp_Trend combination trades.

    The point I am trying to make is - whether it is an Algorithmic System - or you are trading Discretionary - trading should be based on very Strict and Specific Rules - and having a Disciplined approach to trading. My motto is - Discipline plus Simplicity equals Success. While some of my Algos are complicated - with lots of code - others are very simple. Regardless - they are designed for success - over the long term.

    One more thing - trading does NOT have to be Complicated. We traders are our own worse enemy - we think we need this indicator and that indicator - and soon our charts are loaded with way too many indicators - which in the end - the odds are - the trader will go out of business.

    All the Algorithmic Systems in the pictures below - were developed for my clients - mainly for Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA)_Commodity Pool Operators (CPO)_and High Net Worth Traders.

    ES and MES - 25 Tick Range Bar - 20 Contracts - running 24 hours per day - 5 days

    ES on Top - MES on Bottom

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Of course - realistically - we would not enter with 20 contracts - and we would not run it 24 hours per day - but - this is just to show the Algorithmic Signals. We call this our Bizarro Algo - because some of the Entries - may be the opposite of what we think. It will Buy - when we think it should Short - and it will Short - when we think it should Buy and it will also Buy and Short - like we think it should do - and that is kind of Bizarre - but it was developed - to do just that. For those who read comics - think of the old Superman comics - where there was Superman and his Bizarro Twin - who was basically - the Opposite of Superman.
