Not sure as I know nothing about automation. I use a and drawn decision tree which I believe is the forefather of programming. Could be the farthest thing from the truth. Moreover, as other threads have stated, having an edge in any market is just leverage away from massive profits. That is my laser focus. Only ES, emini, one tic profit, going with the days trend only... I am working on a 2 tic solution, only progress there is I know some things not to do. If I do not keep at it, one tic only for life. Not very exciting but adheres to "slow and steady wins the race." Many sayings to the contrary. Only time will tell. 9;57 am est. Be back later, busy.
Martingale your way to the poor-house, but I'd imagine you're already there. What front-end calculates your PNL per contract? None. Meaning you're trading one-lots and risking three handles for one tick. Brilliant. Savant is the new Xela; he's traded with TraderEX! ES has a g/f in Canada, rly.
Couldn't do it in two lines. Still might be of value. When two cars give it the gas and one takes off and the other explodes forward. Why? 1. No offense, am I considerably smarter than you with regards to the topic. The NINJA must be a very intelligent man as his product stands up to the test of time. I was personally confused but did not really give it it's due. 2. All bars, say moving with trend, have different sized bodies in the Japanese candle. Need to participate in the large ones and stay from the small one. I know my candles, I made a slide show and went over and over the translations. Working with a long wick currently. 3. Based on my personal trading, one tic is my target. Need to make one before 2. My stop, again based on my trading results, is a bracket, 2 profit and 4 trailing top loss. Will not explain how this really 1-5 when you hit the market button. 4. I generate signals through a series of filters, decision tree. I have told Savant what to look for as I have you guys. He has attempted and finds great days followed by disaster days. I told him to now find the filters that suit him. I did not give him mine as this is competitive. Find what wins and wait for it defensively. I actively looked for more trades and just got all messed up. My best day is very boring so many short breaks, after each trade. I have laid out my overall strategy and as Handle123 has stated, nobody gets my filters, they are proprietary. If more than 1000 people traded my algorithm it might collapse. I'm confident a new edge would be created and I could find it but why would I want to. Real world slogan, do anything for 10,000 hours and become an expert. The saying is derived from time it takes to l earn a PHD. Pick a financial product. I picked ES and only ES. I would say you are less than 10,000 away. Demo trading, must be the same as reality. I demo'd with 3 contract, every trade, with a market order., 1030 TO 330 est, for almost 2 years. My demo results became my results live. Tradovate's demo is very accurate on how you get filled in demo. Sign up for their free demo and see for yourself.. I used Go Futures for 2 months and their demo filled you immediately upon touching your target. Not realistic means not realistic results. They make you believe to are a NATURAL.
I really am trying not to be rude, but again, not asking how you decide on a trade, just the mechanics of your trade. Again, you made another lengthy post, and still I do not know. This tells me you might not really know. For example, one could say, I use a 4 tick stop and a 1 tick target. The stop is trailing, so assuming price moves up a tick, then the stop becomes 3 from the original entry and target is still 1 tick. Boom. That makes sense. That's clear, I understand it, but then you throw in things like, well sometimes I target 2 ticks or 3? Well, which is it? I think I have you figured out. I think you found that you could get winning streaks with a 1 tick target. The truth is, everyone can get winning streaks with a 1 tick target. The problem is when your luck runs out. If you get stopped a few times in a row, it's going to take one heck of a winning streak, just to get back to break even. And then whoops, stopped out a few more times. Over time, I'm sure your account will just break down. And because you can't give straight forward answers, that tells me you already know this is true.
i can't see any of the op's post cause he's on my list of rude people. but i have this story. a lion lays in the tall grass all day every day while his family goes hungry. finally he gives in to pressure and goes out to catch just anything to eat. so he expends all his energy to bring home a meal that is only one bite for each of the pride. then a big wildebeest comes along and he has not the energy to chase it down, having spent all his efforts to catch a bird previously. the pride finally starves to death, because he was chasing small profits and risking everything.
thought you left? another "man" of his word. Pattern developing. Members with there chest out ignoring me and returning. My ex wife had the same characteristics. Go away like you promised. Please go away, both you guys. Young kid acting the same as a mature adult, what's up with that?????
