Hi CB,
Interested in your scalping approach. Myself I find very short-term trading appealing but the reality is that I have too many other things going on which is why I actually trade something which is low maintenance. IMHO scalping ends up being hard work and often for little reward so if you feel like saying I would be very interested to hear how you actually do P&L-wise. Also curious as to who you are trading with for high frequency trading - what sort of slippage and spreads etc?
Finally, (sorry for so many questions) I'm curious as to how you come by your T2W name?
Hello mate
Trending markets great, range markets great, reversals , my strat takes a battering as i counter all that shows up. typically as today when all my setup was up, the price now at 680 my setup up shows down, but only just now, i had weakness shown at 721 and knew it could go both ways its either a great buy or a great sell
maybe all trades, are stating the obvious. lol
stopped at 03 from that 16 long suspected acceleration down from that point.
P n l wise do o.k. but I can get it terrbly wrong somedays, freqnecy of ops and assuming I do fire correct on the 1 of 3 days then no worries.
Hard work, if i didnt have to sleep then I wouldnt.
Using Oanda @ the mo orders go through ok no negatives on slippage to notice .
As for the name , err bit of a comedy show I can see.... The buddhist being all buddhist like then going ballastic , very unbuddhist like kinda like wiggy on the old Kenny Everet shows.
Everybody knows whats coming up.
what too many things do you have going on that distract from scalping ?
