• **2.** Wait for a spike in one direction around the height of the consolidation.

    **3.** Wait for volume signal to print an entry signal in the trade direction (back into the consolidation).

    **4.** Enter at that candle’s close. Stop Loss at current leg’s high/low. Target the consolidation’s low.

    Using ⁠Volume Compass as a confluence. Only sell if its above the 50 mark and Buy if its below.

  • Hey! I’m posting here because someone may have had similar problems and have better solutions!

    I coded an auto trading web app that runs locally (for now). I have several separate services: websocket (bar data fetch), signal generator, order executor, and take-profit/stop-loss monitor.

    1. I’m taking Kline (bar) data from Binance futures using a websocket service and recording the last 500 closed bar data points in my database.
    2. I’m calculating indicator values based on the last 500 closed data points recorded in my database.
    3. When the bar closes, the system checks if there are any new signals that fit my strategy conditions.
    4. If there’s a new signal, it triggers the order executor service, which places MARKET BUY/SELL orders on the exchange.

    My biggest struggle is that there’s no way to place OCA (one-cancels-all) orders on Binance futures exchange. That’s why I have to place separate SL/TP orders (there is no way to place both SL and TP orders on same time due to position size limitation).

    My strategy has 4 partial TPs. This means if the order size is 10, each TP would execute with 2.5 quantity (25% of total quantity for each TP).

    With an entry order, I’m also placing a STOP MARKET order for stop-loss. After that, my take-profit/stop-loss monitor keeps track of the live price action every 2 seconds. If the price hits any TP level, it sends a MARKET SELL/BUY order to the exchange.

    When the price hits either stop-loss or TP4, I record the position as “closed” and update all the data in my database: average entry price, exit price, exit timestamp.

    I tested my system on testnet. Price fluctuates too much in a short time, and most of the time I couldn’t catch the SL/TP hits on my end. That’s why in my Binance account, the testing position is marked as closed, but in my app it shows as “open,” which isn’t ideal.

    I’m pretty sure if I run the app on mainnet, I’ll face fewer issues like this. But it still confuses me, and I’m wondering whether I’m doing this right or wrong.

    In short, how do you keep track of positions in your database? Do you have a better solution than mine?

    I’m afraid of network problems. When any service goes down, almost everything collapses (missed TP orders, position updates in database, etc.). Do you have a better solution, like placing entry, TP, and SL orders when entry comes in and then forgetting everything? It should run even if the server goes down.

  • Hi everyone!
    I’m planning to travel solo around the UK for a month and feeling a bit nervous. I’d really appreciate any practical advice you might have!

    Right now, I’m thinking of visiting the following cities:

    In the south: London, Cambridge, Oxford

    In the middle: Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield

    In the north: Edinburgh and the Highlands

    I hope to plan the route smoothly without too much backtracking.

    For accommodation, I’m looking for mid-range options, nothing fancy, but not too rough either. I’m not too picky about food, just want decent meals without spending too much.

    I’ve heard transport in the UK can be quite expensive, so I’m especially looking for money-saving tips on getting around!

    Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions on sights, transport, food, and places to stay.

    Thanks so much in advance!

  • Hi All!

    Edit: Thank you everyone for all the great advice! I’ll definitely take it into consideration. I know my plan is a bit aggressive, and I’m prepared for a lot of travel time. I usually walk around 20K to 30K a day on my vacations, so I’m used to being on my feet!

    I’m planning a solo trip to Taiwan this October for 13 full days, and I’m very excited! My main focus will be on i culture, nature, and, of course, food. I’ve previously traveled to South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

    I won’t be renting any car or scooter during my stay (only bike or e-bike \^\^).

    I understand that many trails in Hualien/Taroko Gorge might still be closed through the end of the year , so I’ll be skipping that region for this trip. Also, I’ve read that Sun Moon Lake tends to be more for local tourists, and while I appreciate unique atmospheres, I’ve had the chance to visit some stunning lakes in Europe.

    Here is my itinerary:

    ***Day 1: Taipei***

    * Arrival at the airport at 7 AM – Drop off bag at hostel. – Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall & Liberty Square.
    * **Lunch** at Yongkang St. and chill in a coffee shop while fighting jetlag

    ***Day 2: Taipei***

    * **Morning**: National Palace Museum.
    * **Afternoon:** Taipei 101 – Elephant Mountain.

    ***Day 3: Taipei – Chiayi***

    * **Morning**: Dihua Street.
    * **Afternoon**: Hopping on the HSR to Chiayi, I’m hoping to get there in time to see Hinoki Village

    **Day 4: Chiayi (Alishan)**

    * *Wondering if a stop at Fenqihu will be too much trouble and not leave enough time in Alish*an

    ***Day 5: Chiayi – Tainan***

    * **Morning:** train to Tainan – Anping Tree House before lunch
    * **Afternoon: T**emples
    * **Evening:** Sunset at Fort Provintia
    * **Night:** YongLe Market – Shennong Street
    * will use the city bike to move around

    ***Day 6: Tainan – Kaohsiung***

    * Morning train to Kaohsiung
    * Lotus Pond Lake
    * Pier-2 Art Center

    ***Day 7: Kaohsiung – Kenting***

    * **Morning:** Bus to Kenting

    **Day 8: Kenting**

    * Snorkeling/Diving – I will be there on the National Day. Will activity centers be closed? I couldn’t find the information

    ***Day 9 Kenting – travel back to Taipei or Taichung***

    ***Day 10: Taipei or Taichung or anything (night in Taipei)***

    \*\*\*Day 11: Taipei (\*\*\*Shifen, Yehliu, night Jiufen tour) – hoping that everything will still be open on Monday

    ***Day 12: Taipei***

    * Slow day in Wulai for hot bath
    * **Evening:** Ximending

    ***Day 13: Taipei***

    * Buying souvenirs (Dihua Street/Ximending) or revisiting places I want to see again.
    * Evening: flight at 11:30pm

    I would be grateful for any tips and advice! Honestly, I feel like this isn’t a really effective route. I still have a day to plan but I’m not sure what to do. I have considered hiking in Yangmingshan (but it seems to be a struggle to do it on my own with public transportation), or staying a day in Taichung. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I haven’t booked any hotels yet, so I am still flexible, but I have planned to stay next to the main train station each time.

    Thank you so much!!!
