Hi Grant,
I have recently picked up your journal entries and have been looking back through them. Thanks very much for posting them here they are very illuminating. I have one question regarding the info panel you use. There is an ATR section. Can you elaborate what that does and the number it displays. There is an ATR pips multiplier and period.
You have a 2x ATR (14). Then a yellow number is displayed next to SL.

I didn't want to assume the acronyms.

I just wanted to clarify exactly what all that meant to see if it is something I would find useful to plot on my chart.

Many Thanks

Morning

Back in the beginning of AIMS, Immy and i used an ATR based initial SL hence the display showing the value. I don't use this information anymore so when you get to checking the newer charts/trades you will see that its not displayed.

I do however display a 5 day ADR on my m15 chart so that i know when the days PA is nearing its average...

cheers

Evening All,

Yesterdays and today's PDF's attached so at least today's isn't late... lol

Four trades in total for the 2 days :

1. +6
2. -5.2
3. +12
4. -4

Total +8.8 (0.67%)

Again apologies for the late posting and also for no dot analysis.

As you will have seen from my pics there is a new alert indy that the guru coder is working on and i am fortunate to be testing it. So unfortunately i don't have the time nor as many dots with it to complete the dot spread sheet.

cheers

It was great fun. I know you took those trades, I heard you smile and frown and scream (not like girls though) during those trades. (rofl) Nah, just kidding, it was great fun day.... I specially enjoyed the one where all 6 of us were in a trade yet we all got different exits. Chaos brings us here.

Whats was the most fun part today? Today, there were no rents... Absolutely fantastic. I finished the day with a huge surprise but I guess you'd know that if you check your charts. Lets say it was over 100 pips day for me. Well Done my friend... well done.

Evening,

Two trades for me today :

1. +5
2. -5

so flat for the day...

Got caught chasing on trade 2 a touch, although price was still at the correct entry level. Broker then spiked my SL before hitting my then invalid TP..........

cheers
