ADD helps.

My channel looks a little different than that - I use a LRC on the weekly chart starting on 7/22/2003 with the second sample point 7/21/2006 (I had been using a sample ending in 2005 but just updated it now - didn't alter the channel more than a few points.) This channel was broken the week...

Yes. Didn't finish though - got through AOCS (Navcad program) but attrited from flight school. Long story.

20 or so years ago they sent me a letter saying something along the lines of - because I was such a distinguished achiever in my community, I was invited to join the ultra-exclusive ranks of the mega-rich insiders blah blah blah - at that time I had just dropped out of college and was living...

So - your recommendation is to short the ES with a 27 pt stop and profit targets of 2 and 16 points? (based on Friday's close.)

The mini Nasdaq :p

Wow - big drop right at the end, huh? - Qcom really dragged them down (Intc didn't help), was down almost 20% ($6) after the close but has bounced back a bit, now down $3.50 or so - will be interesting to see where we reopen here in 10 minutes, esp with apple up 4% after hours. Edit: Hmmm -...

I can't really provide any input there - they generally move just about the same percentage with an occasional divergence. I have read speculation that the futures market might induce some noise into the indices themselves, vs a pure cash market - sort of a tail wagging the dog scenario.

Nas comp is a dead contract - not even listed under time+sales on the CME site.

I'm not sure what you mean by "remove liquidity" - do you mean you use limit orders at the current bid or ask price as opposed to a market order? And if there is no longer a bid/ask available at that price then you don't get filled?

I'll repost this from the other thread on the NQ - you didn't mention in this thread that your trading was on a simulator, and I think the question is of interest in this thread: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One question for you - how does your...

One question for you - how does your simulator come up with the fill prices? Last tick, bid/ask or how? I ask because it sounds like your style is to jump on momentum thrusts - and this can produce slippage. If you are doing 200 trades - and let's assume you would only get slippage on...

Nice trade Duref - I had my finger on the trigger around there also, but passed - I have noticed some sporadic high volume up bars today, which has made some sell setups fail - seems to be some short covering going on, but not concerted enough to make the market rally. I took a short earlier...

I just started Farley's book "The Master Swing Trader" - not very far into it but a couple times I riffled through and the info looks very useful - a great insight into the market/herd psychology and how it affects chart patterns. Need to find the time to re-read TDP by Douglas - been several...

hey NQ - you have a PM - I have to go to work now, LMK.
