[10:04] Many times after a trend day there will be a tight range day and the position trade looks for volatility. [10:06] 0,2 Covered ES Short @ 1204.50 --> - 1 [10:07] However, defining a trend day can be discretionary and 'systems' work themselves out over time based on stats so, I've been reluctant to add this filter. [10:08] my PT for the long I no longer have was YM 10726 - 10734 [10:12] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10710 [10:19] 0,3 Long ER2 @ 639.70 -> small size [10:20] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 03.75 -> small size [10:21] 0,2 Covered all ES Short @ 03.75 --> 0 [10:22] 0,3 Long NQ @ 1537 [10:23] 0,2 Exited all ER2 Long @ 639.70 --> 0 [10:23] 0,2 Exited all NQ Long @ 1537.5 --> + 0.5 [10:24] 0,3 Long YM @ 10715 [10:26] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 10719 --> - 9 [10:27] 0,2 Exited all YM Long @ 10717 --> + 2 [10:28] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 1204 -> small size [10:29] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10714 [10:29] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10715 [10:30] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10713 [10:32] short dax 4374 [10:33] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 10710 --> + 5 [10:34] 0,2 Covered 1/3 ES Short @ 1203 --> + 1 [10:35] 0,2 Covered all ES Short @ 1202.5 --> + 0.5 [10:35] covered 4368 +6 [10:36] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 10704 --> + 9 [10:37] 0,2 Covered 1/3 ES Short @ 1202.25 --> + 1.75 [10:37] Jimmy...please use the trade posting script. [10:37] Go ahead and do a test trade post via it. [10:37] Dang, I wanted 02 on that, but I chickened out when everybody keep buying ES on the way down. [10:39] Niha, do you know if there is a way to use the script to tell it to specifically exit a Swing/Position trade ? [10:39] 0,2 Trailing Stop Hit ES @ 95.25 --> + 1108.75 [10:39] oops that was 1203 [10:40] Flash...the normal exit command but it won't say Exit Swing. [10:41] that's what I thought. At the end of the day when I exit my Pos. Trades. the script seems to just remember my last trade (other than the Position) [10:41] Ok...now your asking something different... [10:42] The script does not remember multiple different trades... [10:42] it only remembers the last trade type. [10:42] Example... [10:42] If I post a swing trade... [10:42] Then later post a day trade entry then post an exit of the swing trade... [10:43] It's going to do its calculations based on the day trade entry because it was the last type of trade that you posted. [10:43] I see that scalp has a "scalp exit" and of course regular trades have their own "exit" but Pos/Swing only has Long or Short. [10:43] Not sure but maybe you missed my point... [10:44] Will show you instead. [10:44] no i see what you're saying [10:44] 0,3 Long ER2 @ 980.00 -> Swing / Position Trade [10:44] 0,2 Exited 1/2 ER2 Long @ 970.00 --> - 10 [10:44] 0,2 Exited Remainder ER2 Long @ 960.00 --> - 20 [10:45] Thus, it just shows it as an Swing entry but the exits don't say Swing Exit. [10:45] Just saids plain old Exit [10:47] i do not see a way to script my position trades exits then at the end of the day if I have had other trades in between. [10:47] doesn't matter to me, but i know you like things to be scripted [10:47] Sure...just post your Swing Trades via text only or use a color highlight if you want. [10:47] OK [10:48] It's what I do when I do multiple different trades. [10:48] Sometimes I'm in the DAX and one of the Eminis at the same time... [10:48] I'll post one via the script and the other via text only. [10:49] gotcha [10:50] I recently did some statistical work and found out I make about 7% more profits via trading two different trading instruments moving in the same direction instead of increasing my contracts in one trading instrument. [10:51] However, its a lot more mental work :( [10:55] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 10720 --> - 6 [10:55] 0,3 Long YM @ 10720 [10:56] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10720 [11:01] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 1723 --> + 8997 [11:01] 10723 net -3 [11:02] 1,4 #FuturesTrades Info -> 8,2 This room is only for Trade Posting (real or paper) and/or discussions about a posted trade or key market events that could affect a trader's open trade position.
