bailed out all trades on both when stochastic hit 5......
have not been able to get back in ym.....
reentered es on retest.....
likely will close all before weekend......
safety aspect......h
//-----
//---single ym pending left at high
//----
medicine required to cure pushing your luck can be a hard pill to swallow......
ym still a no go...... at least for me......
maybe in 12 to 20 hours......h

the chinese saying goes, darkness lies one inch ahead...... chapter 4......
tweezer tops can be a reversal chart formation....... best on daily and weekly charts, but still...... makes me wonder.....
should know in the next 10080 minutes.......
will it be a tweezer or a teaser.......h

kinda makes sense in a senseless way......h

rty..... margin required 7500..... var 2493...... 50$ a point...... var is low compared to point value......
110 points to recent low...... current 240 bar is almost 60 points and climbing, 3000$....... 5500$ to recent low......
at down trend line........
throwing a dart with eyes closed......h

not only did that dart hit me in the butt , but, i sat on a couple more........

when i have multiple accounts with the same broker, it's a habit of mine to have multiple metatrader platforms on the computer, each named uniquely......
this way i'm not having to waste time logging in and out of each...... they can all run simultaneously..... each with it's own unique indicators, ea's scripts and such...... even market watch symbols can be unique to themselves.......... those platforms don't overlap.....
with at least one exception........ when saving set files for ea's, those set files are shared across all platforms on that computer using the same broker......
//-------
rty is a hot air balloon today....... and i'm out of darts......
oh the pain of it all.......h

we have a sarcastic saying around here, "it's close enough for government work".......

in a perfect world the 60 minute stochastic(10,6,3) would neatly cycle between overbought and oversold ........ and do it the same for all symbols....... so the dollar amount of that cycle could be known.....
being the lazy type, there will be times when i just buy or sell everything...... everything being defined as the ym, es, nq, rty, 6e, 6b, 6a, 6n....... the futures equivalent of, the dow, s&p, nasdaq, russell 2000, eurusd, gbpusd, audusd and nzdusd...... it's not a impulse action, there will be a valid reason for this.....
my thoughts are to make one side of 60 minute stochastic(10,6,3) cycle during the day......
the ym, es, nq, and rty 60 minute cycle values might run 2 or 3 thousand dollars...... where the currencies will run 2 or 3 hundred........
again, being the lazy type, i use a single function to close the trades once each's profit is over a set amount...... usually 1000$, which works perfect for the indexes but far to high for currencies......
i use stringsubstring to look for the 6 in the symbol, if found it reduces the minimum to 1/10........ or 100$ for currencies.....
while not perfect, it is close enough for government work....... but the government's shut down.......
so much for a perfect world.......
