Thanks for the ideas man. I do need work on entries....I feel like the system contributes to that easily as much if not more so than my ability. And to be honest....in the M6E slippage is REAL. You can't really time an entry....like at all. Because it's full ticks wide (vs. 6E 0.5 Tick).....and if 6E bid gets hit there is no human on earth with any possible connection that can witness that then hit the M6E bid and get filled. I'm expecting some improvement once I move up to 6E and get comfortable just because of improved liquidity.
I don't wanna wine about the Micro, it's been and continues to be an incredible tool for me...but damn I'm starting to really look forward to when I can make the move up to 6E.
Thanks, Bob. The spreadsheets I make myself w/ google docs. I'm no good compared to the average 25 year old but I had to learn some basics for my businesses. All of the are pretty crude, which is why I'm constantly updating them, trying to get something more durable that I can grow with. If you use Ninja 8 I can share them with you, you can cut and paste from there....though truthfully, Ninja has a pretty solid journal built in....the only problem (for me at least) is you cant separate out commissions...for where I'm at right now in the Micro the $ is just a distraction, it's all about building a positive expectancy in ticks.
i am using NT8.So, youre saying that ninja has a spreadsheet?I trade Forex for now , as it enables me to trade live without risking alot of $.After watching FT 71 webinar, i kinda thought it might be time to do a spreadsheet

The trade report. It gives all the stats just in a different form. Most of what my sheets do is just the same thing but separate commissions to give stats in ticks only.
I'd be happy to share any of those with you if you'd like. To make them work for FX they'll need a little tweaking but shouldn't be bad. I'd really recommend getting a handle on some basic excel, just a little goes a long way for something like this. I had no excel experience and over the last few years learned because I needed to created metrics for my business, and it's not too tough.
