Khai Bahar - Luluh ( Shattered ..in English)

This Malay song is quite resonates well with my past life ..Currently popular in Malaysia...

I have been afflicted by chronic headache while I was studying in University in 1984/5, till today..thankfully now quite manageable..

The problem with headache is it is invisible and the University specialist told me that I'm a liar....Imagine answering tough examination whilst your head exploding...So I decided to quit like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs...Some moons later,,, I fell in 1st love with a damn sweet girl...then lost her... betrayed by my own trusted distant relative...After that, my life is in series of mishaps...my eldest brother jailed, my youngest sister died young, followed by the death of my old father , brought along with him his feeling of frustation with me not completing my medical degree.  I got work as a clerk and I managed to pay back all my loans related to my study..every single cents.

(Currently my old mother is suffering from dementia and ailments that every old people supposed to have)

Even in pain everyday, I decided to marry in 1997 with other girl with the same name... as I belief the pain  in my head and in my heart will slowly go away, healed by time....

Difficulties are quite norm with me...no wonder I keep on 'trying' trading that I started since 2009.

May Allah grant me,  his forgiveness.

Sorry for telling you all my past, sad stories. This sad song triggered my emotion..Emotion of a nearly old man :)

No live trade

Commissioned a programmer to build custom study

Yesterday I commisioned a programmer to build a custom study.
This study is probably 1800th set up that I created and used since I started trading since 2009.
After I used it within a week, I felt confident enough to further programming it for entry decision.
Something that never crossed my mind.
The good thing is after Q&A with the programmer, I have clearer picture of what I expect from this custom study and it strength and weakness.
On my part of weakness, I usually 2nd guess my entry, so this custom study will focus more on entry.

43 million trades reveal the secret of profitable traders

I talked too soon ..-ve USD 112

To be fair to my system..
My system is okay..
But I failed to check the correct  "environment".
I'm human and old age probably magnified my human side.
Today I emailed one programmer to code my system
So I will have semi -auto trading system

The system will enter, I will exit thru simple bracket DOM.
The system will be the sniper, I will be the platoon that protect the sniper.

My brain capacity to think will be preserved and that will help me to focus on defense, stop loss while my semi auto system will do the offense.

A long journey has begin with a single step send click.

I think....I found the right rabbit

Thanks to the mouse, I have time to refflect and rewired my charts.

Never give up

My fibre optic cable gone with the mouse

DOM Technical error.. Supposed Win but Lose in Paid commision

Supposed to win but DOM failed to execute. Has to renew orders and that incur commissions.
As trader, I have to against on all odds

Lose 1 - NOT FOLLOWING THE RABBIT

after 3 wins, here is the loser...
am just human,, I thought i can second guest it ,, but my rule is correct..will follow to the fur

Live 1 Win,, early exit..repeat yesterdays mistake..adjusted the chart time frame to 1 minute

Live 1 win, mkt range, took profit too early near VWAP, but no regret

Live 1 Short, Win, follow the rabbit, enter stop short at DOM, at pullback

Friday usually range, so thats it folks..just build my mental huha

65% and I thought i Passed Win Lose ratio SIM test

my SIm xperiment is over and i feel that I could trade live NQ after this.
4 years trading CL on off was differentt compared with NQ
Yeah I have another 7 rounds of SIM ..but I bored to do SIM...I prefer live trading
My win/lose ratio is 65% with the current set up.
In prevous posting my pass mark is 60%. Thats the 1st key

2nd key to win this crazy trading game is to consistently apply the trading rules .
And I managed to follow the rules via some indicators with price actions.
Price actions alone is difficult for me..becoz intrepretation of situations differs...
So how to trade if the intrepretations/situations keep changing/confusing my judgment ??
So in my trading mind ---
""The indicators are the the rules and price actions is the trigger""

The 3rd key is the bottom line -the cold DOLLARs  you may asked..
Well I dunno how to answer that becoz that is the market's job...

I hope I can get the financial freedom through 2 keys and let the 3rd keys hold by the crazy mkt

"Waiting Outside The Lines"

You'll never enjoy your life,
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?

Rules and regulations,
Force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
It's time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around
And looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
The time is now

I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

Try to have no regrets
Even if it's just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
If you keep living blind?

Stuck in the same position,
You deserve so much more
There's a whole world around us,
Just waiting to be explored

Instead of just sitting around
And looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
The time is now, just let it go

Don't wanna have to force you to smile
I'm here to help you notice the rainbow
'Cause I know what's in you is out there

I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

I'm trying to be patient (I'm trying to be patient)
The first step is the hardest (the hardest)
I know you can make it,
Go ahead and take it

I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting
I'm waiting

I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

You'll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?

Indys

After done several live trades, NQ behaviour is different than CL, of course...
I have to put again 2 indicators on my NQ chart -- DMI and stochastic.
There are no sins using indicators I supposed...
Simply becoz I want to trade like a robot, and no emotion, judgement, whatever (laugh, pls)

However, these indys also not accurate, becoz actually the trading is in price.
So I will put a line in chart price...
My objective  is to trade REPEATABLE PATTERNs when
DMI=SMI=PRICELINE (so 3 filters are in)

Once repeatable patterns achieve 60/40 right/wrong  % ratio, and ROR is 2x return/1x risk..
I will trade live again...

nq trading (LIve TRade)

Will update at the same post (1 week in 1 post)

-to use  market order when pattern assumption is correct

-use mkt order but gone wrong as it touch horizontal sr (to observe that potential horizontal is far away, has space)

-next -- to say a prayer Tawakkalillallah before trading.

I need to change venue of my trading PC

Current location is not conducive to trade, I think..feel isolated from family..

As my son growing older, I think i can trade NQ in front of them all...

I dont want to grow old alone while trading in the room..

I'm back
