OK, CG - this is a stream of consciousness suggestion after my first espresso of the day, so please immediately file in the bin if it doesn't "land"... (& this is for CG ONLY) : You invariably draw and mark up the best (I mean the way in which you ...

A very good question : the last 90 mins into the NQ Day Session Close @ 3pm Eastern (22:00 Central European Time) - index futures Close used to be 10.15 local, no idea when it changed... ...

I hear you, CG, & I'm definitely not laughing. I know what you mean by trader fatigue and when this sets in, a break is needed, even if only for a few days. I think the last 90 minutes is the best time to trade the US index futures : the whole day's ...

Just trading that Ger30 renko chart I posted yesterday keeps my hands away from the NQ, which I am not comfortable trading at the moment, so inspired both by my recent automation experiments and your post above, I have devised a cunning plan for ...

Seems like a perfect use of the MP info for that entry (which is clear to see as you kindly included your trade markers) = bravo, rudy5 Me, I'm just renkoing around on the DAX @ a magnificent 10c / pip (keeps the eye in) : image

Absolutely, definitely - in Ninja, you can switch the whole platform to "Global simulation mode" & I do it every evening when I'm done for the day. As with all things trading, I learned this the hard way. I was trading FGBL, Bund future, at the ...

I doubt it : I am trading the US30 CFD in my H8 trades and after the London Open I’ve had 2 x 100+ fast moves in the last 3 days. Nice for my stats, but not normal. I am not trading NQ till it settles down ... Yesterday my central heating boiler ...

Non-time based charts will be different depending on the time the very first bar plots, even with the same data supplier. There is sometimes a way to make your charts exactly the same as others & I used to know how to do this with TradeStation & ...

I think I covered pretty much all your points in my post - did you look up any of his old threads ? Then you can decide for yourself. Darren should be contactable via the Tradewith60.com website.

Sacre bleu et quel’ horreur... ”Say it ain’t so, Joe !” (if it is, I’m leavin’ to trade margarine futures... & that’s final !)

Same margin, higher tick value, actually - although I do wonder how much longer these super-low intraday margins will remain available. General regulator pressure is to greatly increase margins. My concern is not the size of the stop, but the ...

Having mentioned that I used to trade Euro futures (6E) a lot in the past, it occurs to me that perhaps with this wild volatility, with frequent 20 NQ tick mini-spikes up & down in less than a second, it would be more sensible to trade 6E or EU ...

Just got to my desk after meeting with lawyer.... was thinking about your results this week, H : where you are the best example possible is that you simply STICK TO THE PLAN I said "Amen"

CG - I'd like to chip in my 2c, as I agree with most of the comments angus is making. When I cleaned out my account at IB (best broker imho, but no $500 intraday futures margins) to pay legal bills, as a long-time NinjaTrader user I opened an ...

Here we go... and I am in "experimental" sim mode today ... 23 mins later experiment returned to drawing board after "crashing on take-off" (code for SimNQ needed to be reset to destroy the evidence...). Lordy... .. BUT my Sim101 account ...

Haha - I'll never need to trade again if that happens ... but we all have our karma to face; it's best to do so and "just get on with it" .

No, although of course they could be. I have mentioned several times before that I am a member of my friend, Darren's, Facebook group (he used to post here as 60minuteman : some great threads); he was booted into the Commercial forum when he started ...

I've been trading live on a regular basis since about 2001 (actually, my very first trade was in about 1999 - the "discount" commission was $95 round trip for one futures contract !), although occasionally I go into sim either to test something (I ...
