Back to trading

[Deena]

Hi all

Firstly its nice to be back on the forum after a break - move of house and baby over the last 4 years.

I am still trading and after 15 years of trial and error i am happy to say the profits out weigh the losses.

I think i have tried every thing from simple to comlex and every formula and platform. I have now settled over the last 2 years on 2 platforms ig index and financial spreads.

After every formula testing - i have gone back to Camarilla that i was kindly sent a free calculation form way back in 2002 and after severl different alternatives i have to say it workd peobably better than most

I trade 5 days a week on the FTSE and DOW and try and take between 15 and 20 points on the FTSE a day.

Well i guess i want to hear from anyone else using the camarilla or any updates or improvements i have missed.
Also i am finding the close formula a little inaccurate. When i traded a few years ago most platforms closed the FTSE at 4.30 so it was easy to use that price in the formula, now IG and Financial SPreads are open 24 hours - i am a little confused what FTSE close price to use in the equation

Looking forward to hearing from you guys

Happy Trading

Deena

Just had a quick glance so this might be a blonde question, but what's the difference between Camarilla and normal pivot points btw ?

Good trading

All sounds a bit complex, or am I being dense?

meanreversion, its just another form of pivot point calculations.

Deena, welcome to t2w,

I would use the actual open/close for my calculations so 8am and 4:30 respectfully. If your using them in the traditional methods you will have to decide how your gonna play it when the futures gap and bounce to a level as the gap wont be reflected on your ig charts.

Glad to hear your in profit keep it up.

Vaco, would you be horribly offended if I pointed out that you typed "your" twice there when you meant "you're", as short for "you are"?

The whole your/you're thing is a pet peeve of mine, I know there are others out there who feel the same. I'm really not trying to be rude .. !

 

[meanreversion]

I'm not as angry as this guy, for example..

Oh and BTW has anyone mentioned:
If you're not going to write it properly and you're not going to get a dictionary and you're not going to bother learning how to spell and you're too lazy to care, then write it "YOU ARE"!

 

[Vaco]

Not at all offended, wrote it in a hurry and didn't check. I only hope that the message was not lost in all that poor grammar.:-0

Good job though! You have staved off this 5% of traders malarky.
