Hello This is a question aimed at those who set their stops based on price action. I'm playing around with ideas here, so all comments welcomed. Let's say I have a system that, when entered, uses a stop loss based on the previous bar's low. I may then choose to only enter trades where my risk...

Thanks for the info Markus. EUR/USD was something I kept an eye on for quite sometime, but somehow never started playing with! Might be worth a gamble. Cheers C

Hi Markus I used to trade Dax 3min chart, so might take a look at 1min setups. Although in the past I found it much too fast! If you don't mind me asking, which oil product/contract do you trade? Thanks C

Hello Just a curious question, but has anyone recently switched the products they trade due to the current volatility in the markets? I used to trade the DAX futures which was always a little volatile, but noticed it's pretty choppy now and if wanting to trade I would look for a 'calmer' market...

Thanks for the info guys. I like the idea of spread trading due to it's possible low(er) risk. I'd be interested in learning the basic concepts ot it. I've never heard of Dunnigans one way formula. Is it a price based system or something more seasonal trend perhaps? Cheers C

Hello I've recently taken an interest in spread trading and have been reading Joe Ross' free spread trading newsletters. Does anyone subscribe to the full spread newsletter service and, if so, how are you finding his methods and success rate? Thanks C

Hi All Great thread at last for the DAX.!! I've been trading it on and off for the last couple of years and would be interested in swapping strategies and theory on system trading! Not sure if this is what this thread was created for and apologies if it's out of context. Cheers Chris

Hi I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on Alan Rich's US VIA-Trader. If you are subscribed to it or have trialed it, I'd be interested to know your opinions. I think there used to be a review section on T2W with regards to these things, but I can't seem to find it....... Cheers C

Hi RedDuke Yes, today again it has been very volatile. I tend to go for good win/loss ratio with an even risk/reward. However, these sort of days tend to encourage me to increase the risk/reward ratio and lower the win rate. PM me if you'd like to swap ideas or discuss tactics. Cheers C

hornblower Yes, no doubt would be wise to look for something a little less wild at the moment!! RedDuke I have the same issue. SL is a bit tight at the mo, but the moves are good. I run 2 systems but on different time frames. The longer time frame, with a higher profit target, is doing much...

Hi Has anyone else found that the DAX has become a bit tricky over the last week or so? Movements tend to be very swift and sudden. I've had problems getting fills with my current systems because of this. Mind you, the DAX has never been a slow one, but lately it's very quick! All seems to have...

Tech Trader That's alot of systems. I suppose the more systems you run, the smoother the equity curve. Also helps to autotrade. That's another thing to look into! anley Thanks for the feedback. The pressure to perform is no doubt the main factor! I think the key is to come up with a couple of...

Hi Tech Trader Thanks for the post. I think that's the hardest part. Trading and trying to develop a new system at the same time. May I ask how many systems you trade at any given time and across which markets? C

Afternoon Everyone! I currently trade part time from home with generally very good success, but I'm getting to a point where I feel the need to bite the bullet and go full time trading. The only thing that concerns me is maintaining a consistent level of income thru a chosen trading system(s)...

Can anyone tell me if there is a way of finding out the level of market orders to limit orders for a particular futures market.? I know exchanges give out the number of contracts traded, but is there anyway of finding out what that's made up of? Thanks C
