By the way, I strongly believe Mr. D has finally blown his account and disappeared from FF.....
Goodbye Mr. D too!

Murphy's Law: Whenever people post TE, their strategy/edge starts demise....... I don't know why but it's interesting phenomenon. I stopped posting my TE before I get embarrassed.....
Let me see if this user can defeat this law: https://www.forexfactory.com/6200tra...st-ticket.3030
To be honest, I strongly suspect if I can ever come across consistently profitable traders in FF.........
FF is now just for calendar and occasional entertainment for me. It cannot be serious.

{quote} Decision's made. I am going back to Futures, Nasdaq exclusively. It will be done during next week. My broker will be AMP Futures (I need to use CQG). Goodbye Forex, Goodbye Dukascopy~~ {image}
I am back to Futures, /NQ or /MNQ (micro Nasdaq) exclusively. Believe or now, I think I've become an one minute scalper for some reason. Now I feel much comfortable..... I won't go back to Forex for good.
By the way, to catch short term momentum, 1 minute or 30 second charts are excellent. It's not doable in higher TFs such as 1H or 4H.

See how VWAP is respected. Exchange based products have better edge on volume study than Forex. That's one of the reasons I like Futures.

The latest template. I have decided to buy MotiveWave once v6 is released. I've made some feature requests though public forums and they implemented my requests very quickly. They have a fabulous development team. I'm impressed.

I am ditching TradingView. MotiveWave can replace this. TradingView is very poor as an execution platform especially when you are a scalper. I bought two years of Ultimate Edition license of TradingView. Money wasted.... Goodbye TradingView~~

Free audited journal service such as Myfxbook or Forexfactory Trade Explorer doesn't exist for futures traders. Most famous one is Tradervue but it's not audited and can be manipulated by user anytime. The cost is also expensive. Journalytix from Zigsaw is also similar. I tried 14 day free trial of Journalytix but soon gave up. I don't want to pay $519 / year ($399 for Journalytix + $120 for CQG additional account) only to get trade statistics. Its technology also seems not very stable. CQG is excellent in trade execution but it's almost rubbish in trade history data.....

If I don't need real-time statistics, I can import it when I don't trade during the day. In this case I don't need additional CQG connection and save $10/month. I will turn on my PC all day (otherwise you need a VPS) if I want real-time statistics. It's fast and convenient actually. I also like News Squawk. It's something like voice reading of Tweets but the quality is very good. $399/year.... tempting now.....
First test. I made $30....

I will update this statistics with accurate commission applied tomorrow.
Anyway, fun scalping exercise....

Objective 3d party assured journal like Myfxbook for Futures?

Ensure you set the following option is TOS, otherwise TOS refresh speed will be slow.

I made 9 trades (two-way) yesterday. I paid $36.9 to my broker/exchange. Excluding this cost, I made $118. I got some more than my broker in the end....

Trading cost per trade (commission, exchange, ..etc) is $4.1 (two way), which is cheap enough to be covered by one tick Break Even offset. User Divergence's scalping method is pretty easy and fun. If you don't have winning strategy yet you should try this.

Crap. Massive loss yesterday. Obviously, 3 contracts is over leverage to me. I wasn't comfortable.... Reduced it back to 1 contract......
I better stop posting this before I get caught by Murphy's Law.....

I found a bug in Journalytix which doesn't log and apply commission to MNQ (micro Nasdaq futures). I reported this bug to Jigsaw and they are finding a solution..... As long as they fix it, I will buy it.
