Full-Screen Trading Animation

Notes:

• The animation below will auto-repeat until you switch away fro this page. it will run more smoothly once it has been fully down-loaded. Speed will vary depending on your computer and browser.

• Sequence of events:

  • Before the start, the trader has entered orders to sell contracts at 7550 (in the expectation that the current rally will stall at the previous high) and a reverse-stop order to cancel the position and go long if the market reaches 7565 (on the assumption that if it carries significantly above that resistance, it will continue up).

  • The trader advances until the sell-limit order is hit.

  • When the market carries half-way to the stop, the trader decides that the overall trend is probably up, and enters orders to take profits / reverse to long below the market at 7535 with a re-reverse stop further down at 7515.

  • The program is advanced until the buy-limit order is hit.

• Points to watch for:

  • The status of open orders is indicated in the red / black area.

  • The trading-statistics are updated each period (white area).

  • As the higher prices disappear from the left edge of the short-term chart, the vertical scale is automatically adjusted.

  • The medium and long-term charts are updated every period.

  • The levels of the open orders are indicated on the short-term chart by horizontal black / red lines.

  • Once the initial sell-order has been hit the chart immediately below the short-term bar-chart shows the profit / loss and draw-down as they evolve.

  • The chart below that shows, in histogram form, the number of open contracts long or short.
