jtrade replied Feb 7, 2017Another fun session - find myself browsing vintage audio (a hobby) ads in markets like this... my one long trade yielded +16, but my entry was 1 minute before H's official start, tsk tsk (I liked the setup and took it)... could go long right now at ...

jtrade replied Feb 6, 2017Very tough again. Only using H's method, I was +7, 0 & +2 for +9... adding my hybrid entries took me to -12... (hmm, could be a message for me in there somewhere

jtrade replied Feb 6, 2017Experimenting again with FDXM (DAX mini futures) for the European morning... I keep hoping it will become the "European NQ", but whilst the volume is slowly growing (it was only introduced 18 months ago), it's still way, way below the NQ (in volume ...

jtrade replied Feb 5, 2017Very good post, CG. I think most of us want very high win rates, and just a very few achieve it, H being a shining example. As I've mentioned before, my "solution" - influenced by meeting the legendary Ed Seykota, a very unusual guy (please forgive ...

jtrade replied Feb 3, 2017Thank God it's Friday... After 3 days of experimentation, I'm glad the weekend has arrived ! Because of my hybrid approach, posting my usual chart would be confusing, but I had what I would describe as a brutal session, not filling my first +20 ...

jtrade replied Feb 1, 2017Similar thing here, CG - and E beat me again ;-) I realise that I have to make some small mods to suit my own style, so JTLabs will be working round the clock for the next few days. I have to clarify two components for myself : 1. When to hold a ...

jtrade replied Jan 31, 2017Ugh... waiting for red news, then back into the fray... image Edit : the second half of the first hour left me with another +1 and a full -9, so NQ -4 , total -8 after commissions. Might trade the last hour : when I was a younger guy... trading ...

jtrade replied Jan 30, 2017You were braver than me, 'ras, & so close to a big day : first trade was almost perfect... just stopped to the tick, second one would have worked if you'd left the previous order in at 5118.00 & I like that third trade.

jtrade replied Jan 30, 2017You're right about sticking to the game plan, but after pulling several orders as the market plummeted, I just took a plain vanilla 123 for 20 ticks and got the hell out of there. I do feel I should be making at least 5x this amount on a move like ...

jtrade replied Jan 27, 2017Nicely done, H. One thing I really like about this method is that if we take a regular 123, then we have to expect a test of our entry level, which is inevitably stressful, whereas with this method, that retest IS our entry point (slightly better, ...
