Trade journal and a notebook. I'd be lost without pen and paper by my side everyday. It's not for record keeping, it's for scribbling down ideas and figuring stuff out. I've gone through tons of 'em.

Do you keep a trading notebook?

Good job Hanover, don't get me started on Douglas and Dawkins That said, in your two questions, you've pretty much asked for the grand unified theory of the universe, and I'm erm... busy. Briefly though I would say why do you need to ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Not really a flaw, but not really much of an opportunity either. Martingale is confusing the issue - you're not mitigating the risk of martingale, you're simply mitigating directional risk above 7000 across a certain time period. The option will ...

Risk mitigation that might make Martingale viable?

FTI, great news you're back on your feet, had everyone worried there for a few weeks. Probably time to post this then, save you having to do it video

Technical Analysis Fallacy

That's what I'd expect but it wouldn't bring up any options for it - no options appear when you drag on to it, neither can I access them through usual right click etc. Might be a build issue.

Spot on and congratulations - that's a great implementation. I might be missing something but not sure how to access the settings but I got it working fine, cheers

Great idea, but for some reason it's saying the file is corrupted when I try and drop it on a chart. It says to recompile. Tried downloading from mellowtick too but same deal. Any ideas?

Finally, back to the grind stone. I took yesterday too because NYSE was shut, but it's back on today, as am I. No real surprises in the week - UJ increasing govt purchasing, surprise surprise, bit of beautiful double speak from Lowe at RBA - ...

So, I've had an entire week of research - kind of unusual for me, I'm a bit goggle eyed. I usually I do it between trades but if it's complex, then from time to time I need zero distractions. Anyway, it's been productive but I'm not quite ...

Yesterday went off fine with scalps around eurusd. Today looking quiet, I'll only trade off the breaks except for light long on ey. This next week's going to be heavy on study, light on trades ... so it's all going to go quiet here for a bit. But ...

I put the UCHF out its misery for a full 35 pips loss because of the danger of eu longs, at 1.3086 - which is where I'm starting to go long again on eu. Other pairs later.

Let's get to work

Topping out the eu most certainly isn't, closed it out for peanuts with a bit of judicious saving and rescue, with uchf holding on for dear life. No overnights this time, fresh tomorrow am instead.

OK. Healthy day's work but I was out this pm, and oh my. The UCHF turned out to be the trade of the dustbins - had I been around I'd have been out at .9284 at 3:15ish, But as it is, it's say there plumbing new lows and I'm fully in averaged at 74, ...

Switched EU too. If you're following along and scratching your head, no surprise. I've chopped and changed multiple times - currently only long EU and light long uchf for a longer-term trade, scaling in as it falls. The general trajectory is ...

AU was wrong. It's made me think that overnighters are more hassle than they're worth unless they look very high probability. These ones didn't, and it shows. Closed down an EA for minor profit, but AU is 35 offside. I'd usually simply close that by ...

Long EA (long eu, short au) for tomorrow so far and that's about your lot. Light on both, heavier in tomorrow.

EJ was the mover of the day. Analysis pretty much dead on - we're pretty much where we started this time Friday for EU. AU never breached 250 - is now but it looks temporary. However, in spite of that my execution was poor today. While I did have ...

Let's get to work

Slow morning. AU not showing risk on strength as I thought, expecting mild risk on from eu today and small rises from UY, so I'm long EY looking to scale in on pullbacks. Scalping day for me wherever I can get it. Will spend some time looking at ...

Week ahead — And we're off. So broad overview tonight, trades on tomorrow this time. Sometimes I do put on small trades Sunday but we're not at any extremes so no rush (mon/fridays are most common days for a top/bottom). I did have a butchers ...

Just finished with a small chestnut on GU downwards, think the EU time has passed. If there's any danger of 3000 in the next hour or so, I'm having it for a short scalp but holding nothing over the weekend. Pretty reasonable day overall. My analysis ...
