Nevermind. I'm going to just use two TTOs with MB Trading on each side of the Buy Zone at the start of the hour. Unfortunately, that take twice as much margin. But I was trying to use all my margin and quickly cancel and replace my stop limits...too difficult. It's easier to just bracket the market....

The automation will become more important now. I missed two major moves simply because I wasn't quick enough to reach the buy zone price and enter them into MB Trading fast enough before it already traded out past the buy zone. Argh! I just need it to fill in those prices for me automatically so all...

I just imported it myself which worked fine. My guess is that you are using an older version. I'm using the 6.5.0.10 which is the latest Beta version. Support said I needed to upgrade to Beta to be able to use MBT/EFX brokers since a lot of bug fixes for that connection went into it. During programm...

FYI, Admittedly, I learned this when the spread was averaging 3 pips on a low activity day. But I noticed this morning on Level II that even the USD/CHF during dual session times after the New York open can have 2 and 3 pip spread briefly during a quick move.

Tee hee. I realize 21 and 7 looks like 3 to one. The reason I call these 2 to 1 is because I have the "traded through" preference set for stops. That means that 7 pip stop could potentially be at much as a 9 to 10 pips loss with buy/sell spread slippage and the commission cost. I don't lik...

Here's a picture of the hourly buy and sell zones. Besides making it reset hourly, it has the following changes. 1. Disabled the outer lines of the zones. Why? The all important price labels to the right were unreadable since they overlapped each other. NinjaTrader lacks any feature to selectively t...

Thanks. I plan to take Sunday afternoons off from now on and stick to trading the New York / London combined times as usual. FYI, last night, I made back the loss plus an extra $100 bucks after I selected to the "traded through" preference for stops on MBT Navigator. It definitely works mo...

I modified the Buy Zone by cvax to update every hour. Anyone want it? It's kind of cool. I find it works profitably every hour on the hour during the high liquidity/volatility times of day.

Just let me know if anyone wants it and I'll post it.

TRO, I'm trading real money with the Buy Zone using MB Trading. I've only been doing this a week so be patient with a newbie. I made profits and losses last week. The losses were all due to my error but at least I broke even for the work AND I'm LEARNING!!!! I just took a loss this evening (Sunday) ...

Well, I started the Buy Zone. My first trade on Sunday with USD/JPY was a winner. A little disappointment was that 10 pips only gave me $87 on the USD/JPY after $10 MB Trading commission. My goal was $100 a day like in TRO's $TRILLION plan. So I'm going to shoot for 12 pips from now on. Any advice o...
