I'm wondering if anyone trading ES futures does their own taxes. This is the first year that I have traded live and was wondering about taxes. I have not ruled out going to a tax professional, however, before I do I would like to see what others have done. I think I understand 1256 contracts and the 60/40 rule, but I am not sure if things like mark to market and wash sales, etc. apply. I never hold a position over night. The rest of my taxes are not complicated...I'm just not sure how to handle the future trading part...Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Armand.

Would someone please explain what this means? I'm not quite sure I understand and it seems very important...

Great! Thank you Sparrow.

Can someone tell me where to set the values for the bands in NinjaTrader and what to set them to? Thanks...Armand

I am trying to install this in NinjaTrader. So far I am extracting the zip file into the: My Documents\NinjaTrader 6\bin\Custom\Indicator folder. Then I go into the control center and click on Tool> Edit NinjaScript > Indicator. I can select and have the code open up. Then I hit an f5 to compile and have it added as an indicator. My problem is I still can't get this to display (VMARainbow, fantail, etc.). Would someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Do I need to add all the indicators that are in this zip file. Some have "@ signs" and some don't. Does that matter? I know i'm close...just not quite there.. Thanks...Armand

Can anyone enter the tradestation forums or do you have to be a tradestation subscriber? I don't see a way to register (but I am not a tradestation subscriber). Thanks, Armand

Hi Infinity_Tom, Do you know if there is some minimum number of trades that are required to avoid an inactivity fee. If so, what number of trades would that be. Thanks, Armand

Hi Disco Scottie, Does Infinity require some minimum number of trades before some kind of fees kick in? Also, how much is a round trip ES contract? Thanks, Armand

Hi Hlm, Thanks for your post about Infinity. I noticed that they charge a $35.00 per month charge for inactivity. Do they require some minimum level of trades before some other fees kick in? Or is it $26 per month plus commissions only? Thanks, Armand

Thanks Walter...another great video. This counter trend trade using BOP on ES looks very promising. Which version of the rainbow on MT4 did you use? I would like to track some ES trades using these indicators...10 ticks a day seems very doable. Enjoy your well deserved time off...Armand

Walter, awesome, awesome videos. The more charts and videos the clearer things get. Thanks for all the time you put into sharing this with us. Armand

Thanks Walter..that video really cleared up the BOP...great job! I want to add this indicator. Does the BOP only need the setting of 14? Thanks...Armand

Thank you, Walter...once again the video is very helpful...Armand

Walter...are you looking for the cross of the green and black lines right after they pass above or below the magenta? Or is it after any vmar icon? Or both? thanks...Armand

Great videos Walter...very helpful. Thanks...Armand

Thank you, Bert. I'll give that a try.

I'm having a slight problem. I've loaded the Chimp futures scalps template in My Documents/Ninjatrader6/templates/chart. And all the indicators are in My Documents/Ninjatrader6/templates/Indicator. The template loads...I see the oscillator and price (I'm in simulation mode) but no indicators. No MAS3, VMABand, or VMARainbow. When I right click on the chart and click on indicators none of these VMA indicators are listed there. I guess I've put them in the wrong place...just not sure where that is suppose to be. Any suggestions? Thx...Armand

I would like to see this for index futures scalping too (only because I'm already set up for that...haven't worked with forex). But I'm ready to try either one. Its been great watching this research unfold....thx to all...Armand

Very nice way to display the rainbow!

Just an FYI...the Ninjatrader platform has a great dom (The same one I use with TransActFutures). It lets you place bracket orders, target and stops all with one click. You can also drag and drop your targets and stops. Great control. Thanks Sparrow....Armand

Thanks Walter...great videos. I look forward to testing these out in MT4. Thanks Unicorn for providing the charts...Armand

PYenner...now keep in mind I can barely get my indicators loaded. But looking at your second pix with second copy of 6_16 running in red on 1hr chart, set to 16 bars. Red line crosses under Blue line - Short. Red line crosses over Blue line - Long. Would have made for a very nice day! But for now...I'm still studying the 5 minute settingups. Thanks for all your contribution...Armand

I hadn't switched over from the fantail on MT4 because I thought I would wait to see where the research takes us. So after these posts I thought it would be a good time to install the new indicator and template (ADXVMA6Test3.mq4 & chimp 1 min chart for eur-jpy.tpl). I followed the instructions from other posts on how to install them...but for some reason my charts show up very different...wrong colors, no oscillator, missing vma line on the one minute chart, etc. I know I've put the template and indicator in the right place because they show up under insert > indicators and charts > templates. But something is getting messed up somewhere. "If" someone has the patience and time to explain what I am doing wrong...I would greatly appreciate it...Thanks Armand

Thanks Walter!

Thanks PYenner...very helpful!
