Have you ever noticed that whenever you think you see something new on a chart that would help you to join the trend or find a reversal point early that the very next time it shows up, it fails? LOL! Doesn't mean it doesn't work most of the time it just seems like something I have noticed since starting this journey into Futures.

I don't think I said there was 200 ticks but looking at the chart and the right side scale 7390-7320 is 70 points times 4 ticks per point = 280 ticks.

You’re right, I’m just trying to figure out your chart and strategy, I use Sierra instead NT and when you configure a chart to 200 ticks each candle represent that, in this case (280 ticks) will be just 2 candles. I changed my chart to 200 trades per candle and looks pretty similar than yours. Anyway, thanks for taking your time to answer

Strategy has a big bug in it. It stops updating the horizontal line whenever I add another horizontal line to the chart. The code searches by Tag so it should find it but it doesn't. ...

public override void Plot(Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds, double min, double max)
{
if (labelRays)
{
int i;

// Define the SizeF Class
SizeF stringSize = new SizeF() ;

foreach (ChartObject co in ChartControl.ChartObjects)
{
if (co is ChartRay && co.Tag.Contains ("Ray"))
{
ChartRay l1 = (co as ChartRay);

int x2 = bounds.Width;
format1.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;
double y1 = l1.EndY;
int y2 = (bounds.Y + bounds.Height) - ((int)(((y1 - min) / ChartControl.MaxMinusMin(max, min)) * bounds.Height));
string s = l1.EndY.ToString(priceFormat);
stringSize = graphics.MeasureString( s, largerFont ) ;
graphics.DrawString(s, largerFont, l1.Pen.Brush, x2, (y2 - stringSize.Height), format1);

}
}

}
}

+140 on the last trade of the day. Great day overall when you consider I am only trading 1 contract. Overall +1250. A few more days like that and it will be time to move to 2 contracts.

Still left some potential earnings on the table but with some self-improvement that should get better as well. Overall very happy with the day and with some things I observed regarding entries (see previous post).

Strategy has a big bug in it. It stops updating the horizontal line whenever I add another horizontal line to the chart. The code searches by Tag so it should find it but it doesn't. Turned it off for now. Going back to pending orders for trades.

I took the code for finding entries around the moving averages and turned it into an indicator for now. That way I can still get alerts for potential set ups.

The goal for this week is to string together 3 or more positive days and to be positive overall for the week.
