Hello,
I want to use a NT8 template that I downloaded from this site, I saved it in my NT folder, it's called Custom TDI, and it's saved as an XML document, and now I'm lost.
Please help
Thank you

If it's a Chart Template save the .xml-file in folder "..\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart". Then right mouse click on a chart and select Templates > Open. Select your template. Good luck.
i have a live and funded Tradestation account and have been learning Fibonacci replacement tools for sometime now to use to trade. The Tradestation Order Entry team also gave me tutorial on how to make orders but i find myself not having enough confidence to start trading on my own. so am looking for an experienced Tradestation trader to give me practical and live training on how to trade using Fibonacci.
I need someone with experience in both Tradestation platform and Fibonacci strategies to help me with practical and live training to enable me take off.

I have lost most of my capital in the past 4 months after almost doubling the value (ouch). The US stock market small caps went south in Feb. I cant recall how I lost all that money. One trade was a loss but I brushed it off and went on to another trade etc etc. Ive decided that my positions have been too big for one thing. Now Im trying to overthink trades, look for the hidden exit signal I missed before. I use multiple moving averages, try to use a crossover as a signal. If a short term MA goes against the trend then followed by a longer term MA in the same (countertrend) direction I think I have a reason to enter in the new direction. It hasn't been working out well. Other recent trades were "stick it out, this will start going the other way" (corn, nat gas, 30 yr treasury futures). Losses in futures add up fast. Ouch. I am an educated person but cant seem to get it right with trading lately. Does anyone care to suggest a basic method I could consider as a starting point to reforming my dysfunctional ways?
re futures trades, is it better to wait for price to reach major resistance or support before making a trade or decide on the general direction and jump in, trading in the direction of the trend?
I am looking for some input on properly setting stop loss on ES intraday 15 minute chart. I realize stop loss is important but I am looking to limit the amount of losses but at that same time not to be stopped out too early. I have a smaller acct and following the 2% rule really isn't workable. I am searching ideas on what a maximum stop loss should be. I currently use 5 points as a stop loss and my goal is 5 points in profit, minimally 2-3. One to two stop outs, however, is tough to recover so I have considered 3 points as a stop loss. I guess I am looking for the sweet spot for risk/reward. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
