Which is why we're nowhere near the top now. There is no unanimous bullishness. There is no greedy euphoria about the market.

No. I downloaded the update and updated the software just fine on Saturday.

Yes, you can get Futures Options quotes from TOS to Excel via DDE. Some of the greeks are available as well, like Delta, Theta and Gamma. Not sure about the rest.

Great stuff doublet83. Thanks for the thread. I've enjoyed it and even learned some things.

Much easier said than done. Many good traders here will tell you that edges come and go. Based on people whose word I trust, BigHog is a trader who has been a consistent winner, but one who hasn't participated a lot [in these forums] in recent years and I was curious if he was still doing the...

Bighog- I know you've day traded ES primarily in the past. Is that still the case? Have you had to change any of your methods in since 2009 to extract the same amount of profits?

Here is the link to where you detailed the signal I mentioned. :D But I see I had the bracket wrong... It was a stop of 15 pts and a target of 20. One last question. On average, how many trades per day do you make in your primary market (CL, I presume)? And thanks for all that you've...

NoDoji, can you provide some detail to this? In one of your older posts, you said a good signal to trade is to look at the last pre-opening swing low/high (in CL) in the direction of the trend and take the breakout of this swing with a 15 tick target and 10 ticket stop. How/when do you adjust...

NoDoji- I don't have a desire to do that, but I am curious how far you typical look back to make a trading decision. If someone were to put up a graphic of a 5m and 1m chart, how far back does it need to be for you?

Robert- I'm a longtime lurker and have thoroughly enjoyed your journal. Thank you for putting yourself out there so that other aspiring traders can learn and better understand the tasks before us. A great read! Can you tell me what software you use to screen for trading opportunities...

Based on your recommendation, I watched this episode. I agree it is quite funny. Hulu has all the back episodes of South Park, btw.

I think the better, more relevant question is, in which endeavor (trading versus a small business) am I more likely to succeed and make a reasonable return on my investment of capital and sweat equity? I have started several businesses and have experienced moderate success (I built one of my...

Canada.

Lescor- Thanks for the update on your 2011 trading. I've read this entire thread and am very impressed with your consistency and discipline. I have a couple questions about comments made along with your update. 1) You've said (a couple times besides your most recent comments) that all...

Thanks, Puddles. Great stuff.
