3/28/2013 +$690 (Natural Gas Storage) JOBB trade 4Today was an interesting trade. I wanted to see how ninja trader would do trading multiple contracts so I traded with 2 contracts for this release. The fills were both great but for some reason my trailing stop did not trigger. I went thru the setup several times to be certain it was correct and to …
3/27/2013 +$240 (Crude Oil Inventories)Well we had another winner with JOBB, problem was my cpu froze and ruined the recording. It actually stayed frozen for 2 full minutes. I think i've figured out the problem but time will tell. Anyway this was just a recap of the trade showing profit and chart. I've withdrawn all of my funds from infi…
3/25/2013 +$70 (Fed Chairman Bernanke Speaks)This was a very odd trade. Not something i'd usually consider trying. The JOBB system gave stats for it and instructions on how to trade it so I figured i'd give it a try. Ill test it in the future and see how it does. The first trade should of been +$10 as I had a 2 point trailing stop and it went …
3/21/2013 +$180 (Natural Gas)JOBB trade 3Well jobb and ninja did extremely well today. I tested this simultaneously with infinity on another monitor. Infinity lost 20 points while Ninja made 18 point. I've figured out the trailing stop issue I had before and it works perfectly now. Ninja had less slippage and this is important because as y…
3/20/2013 -$100 (CNY Flash man. pmi) JOBB trade 2I have to post the bad trades with the good, and this is a perfect example of a bad trade. A small amount of slippage on a trade is to be expected and is ok but on a trade like this that doesn't make large moves it can be tricky. The trade would of ended in a small profit if i would not of used the …
3/20/2013 +$120 (Crude Oil Inventories)JOBB trade 1Well this was my first trade using the JOBB software and also trading with ninja trader and both worked exactly as expected. The execution on ninja was precise but for some reason my trailing stop wasnt triggered. I'm assuming I set something up wrong but that issue should be resolved by the next tr…
Quick Ninja Trader overview for spike tradingThis is just a quick look as i've only been testing this platform for about an hour. I'll test it out with several releases and see how it does. Hopefully it will make a good backup or if it performs better possibly the new main platform I use. Either way I wanted you guys to be able to see more of …
3/14/2013 30 year bond auction testing Well today I had the chance to test the 30 year bond auction. I discovered several facts, 1. the news doesnt come out at 1pm on the dot, its usually 30-60 seconds after. 2. I need to adjust my bracket length which I did and 3. this doesnt move as big as i assumed it did. Watch for details. …
3/13/2013 +$240 (Australian employment change)After checking the charts I saw this could be traded with brackets and it would of made money 90% of the time so I decided to test it out. Everything went as planned. We'll have to wait and see how this trade does on smaller deviations because we got a big one this time around and also we had about …
3/13/2013 +$156.25 (10 Year Bond Auction)Well this was another of the new releases I've come across and I finally got to test it. This trade started off very slow. The move didn't happen until 60 seconds after the release had come out. I'll test it out 3 or 4 more times and see if its consistent and if so ill add it to my regular trading l…
3/13/2013 +$218.75 (US retail sales)This trade hasnt trigger thru auto click in a very long time. My normal trigger is a .7 and I used to trade it with cad/jpy in forex and most recently in futures with the mini s&p. After checking the last 6 months it seems that the zb market does move enough for us to make a profit even on a 0 devia…
World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates TradeWell it seems there are several news events that I had no idea even existed and this is one of them. It seems it can be traded best with corn futures and soybean futures with bracket orders. Below are the 3 previous release charts showing what was possible. This release comes out monthly and is wo…
3/8/13 +$1562.50 (Non Farm Payroll)Well today was my first time getting a trigger off of nfp with infinity and it went perfectly. Both auto click and straddle got good fills and trailing stop worked exactly as expected. I checked s & p e mini and it had a spike of 5 points then retraced to about the halfway mark. $50 per point move x…
3/7/13 +$10 (Natural Gas)- Huge Deviation, Possible LeakWell if any release looked as tho it had been leaked it was this one. The market was clearly moving up in anticipation of this news but I decided to stick to my plan anyway. To be safe you can simply ignore trades when you see this happen. You'll notice in the video that my straddle got me in first …
