Early this morning CL was amazing. By the opening of the day session September zigzagged at least $5000. Who is pushing oil around between midnight and 9am ET? Because volume is much less - in spite of the good swings- the early hours are more of a swing trader's market then scalper's...

My instinctive move would be to short the 10Y or 30Y futures right here except when I shoot from the hip I often loose. There is no indication on the 60, 180 min charts of any top. The swiftness of the equity decline caught a lot of people by surprise (not just traders but institutions and...

Consider opening an account with IB. The charting program is free and over time you will save a lot in commissions. Their charting is very basic but robust. Every time Tradestation has problems I fall back on IB's charting. Actually I now subscribe to Sierra Charts - fed by IB data. Sierra...

I am not going to re-read Fisher's book and summarize it for you. You could buy it on Half.com used, read it and resell it there if you decide not to keep it. When the indices quiet down between 12 EST and 12 Central Time - because of traders going for lunch - the market often provides a...

Visualize the market price being a bunch of bulls outpacing or sometimes falling behind a wagon (the wagon being the value which itself is moving back and forth). There need to be no news event for a shift. The market was overdone on the up side and now it will be probably overdone on the...

This is known as the opening range breakout method, an age-old technique used on the floor. Mark B. Fisher in his book "The Logical Trader" illustrates this as a beginning move in a longer trading sequence.

The whole question comes down to one's having visual acuity and feeling for the ebb and flow of market action. It helps to understand when looking at a chart which side is on the offensive/defensive. If you happen to have those qualities any chart will do with or without indicators, but...

criveratrading, It is very educational to read a commodity futures thread where the original poster has actual experience in the industry. Thanks. I have looked over years of COT data at Software North and I have noticed that the commercials are usually short the market but when they are...

I am scalping ER2 for 3-4 ticks sometimes 50- 70 times a day. Don't use stops. Get in and out with limit orders and often get out for less then target if it does not act well. When I am wrong it sometimes gets away from me but I recover fairly quickly. I also have quite a few scratch trades. All...

The Samsung monitors have both kinds of output cables but they are analog. Thanks again. js

The-7 Thanks for the info. js

E521 with extra RAM By the way money is not the issue. The issue is taking the PC to a repair shop in NYC which is a major hassle. Thanks again, js

I see in Hombre's thread that there is a way to expand the workspace into a second monitor using a splitter cable. This would be my preferred solution. I do not need two feeds, I just want to grow my desktop. js

Does the monitor 2 button appear after the 2nd monitor is installed with the splitter? Thanks in advance.
