I day trade the ES: Difficult, however, I've found that creating a strategy for entry trigger, exit target, and stops need to be super simple. For me, my success started when I began to design my strategy with only a couple of indicators and one chart. I don't "guess" the direction nor do I...

Same parameters for every trade. Once you do this for awhile, you'll get a good feel for entering these set-ups. Usually, there's going to be anywhere from 5 to 15 trades per day depending upon how active the market is. I need to keep things very simple and not have some kind of 10 person...

All is well...thank you! :)

Everyone should trade the way that makes them money. No need to stray when you're consistent! My intention was not to hijack this thread. Just trying to give some peeps an easy way to get moving in the right direction with their trading. This works great for me, especially during the first...

I've gotten numerous PM's about this thread and don't really come to this forum much, so here's a quick review. Am I still using it? Yes, with adjustments. What are the parameters? See attachment. The average trading range for the es has been running in the upper 20 handles/day vs a "normal"...

I just wanted to post a quick update, as I've gotten some PM's over the past few years with the most common question being: Have the parameters changed? I think the only change is that I moved to a 2000 Tick chart when the exchanges changed their reporting process to give us more ticks. I...

Yea, Bright used to have a $400.00/month desk type fee unless you did a certain number of trades. Plus there'll be a haircut for using their money. How is it that people who have money making strategies, don't just build up their account? You might be doing yourself a favor by being margined...

A cool feature that 6.5 didn't have is to... click on the chart...type 1000t (for a 1000 tick chart) and you're done!

Your quick response is most appreciated. :-)

I have been using 7.22. Is this new V 7 different or is this just the out of Beta version? Do I need to replace 7.22? Thanks...

The money / points will not be an issue if you "grade" yourself on how "well" you traded each day. Sometimes I trade very "well" and lose money or break-even. Sometimes I trade "well" and make a lot of money. By "well" I'm talking about recognizing what the market is doing and then...

Tradingcomputers.com filled a void 5+ years ago. Now you can get anything you need from places like cyberpowerpc.com for about $100.00 over the cost of buying the parts separately from newegg. You just pick your parts, kinda like ordering from a chinese menu.

The spread is not a factor for me, it is $1.00. I'm generally taking $2-$7 on the profit side, trading with limits, so $1.00 spread is not a factor for me. Bottom line, get your costs down as low as you feel comfortable with, including your platform and broker. Then design your stategy to...

I've never seen nor heard Don say he wanted to be the Wal-Mart of trading. Yea, you can get lower rates, so go ahead and do it. High volume trading is a very costly game. I used to trade with Bright and they were always upfront, honest, and I never had a doubt that they were a stable...
