Here is Herman Cain's appearance on Meet The Press from yesterday morning. I think he did an outstanding job and it seems like some people can't comprehend the simplicity in his 9-9-9 plan. He also discusses his position on other important subjects...

The DOM sure moves fast on the ES. It's hard to keep up sometimes, but I see you're point exactly. I guess a good idea would be to record the DOM at an area where price has found support or resistence, and then slow it down to see what actually happened. What have you noticed at market...

So in an area where you see many market sells hitting the bid yet price remains steady, or even upticks slightly, it's safe to say that demand (in the form of limit orders) outweighs the supply (market sell orders in this case). What happens when the supply dries up and nobody else is willing to...

Would I be able to see this on the DOM? Lots of market orders going through, but price remains steady? Just curious what is the best way to identify this phenomena... any ideas?

I live in Marina Del Rey, right next to the water. Haven't heard anything about an evacuation around here...

A lot of traders scale that way, but it's adding to a loser. So you will be stopped out with more lots. This is exactly opposite of what you should be striving for. If you enter one lot countertrend and the market continues, just exit the 1 lot...small loss. When it finally does turn you can...

The advantage of scaling in is to reduce risk while maximizing gain. For example, when a setup occurs you enter a 3 lot position. If price goes against you, you cover your 3 lots and take the loss. On the flip side, if price begins moving in your favor, you can add to the position in smaller...

Awesome!!! That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain that. I'm gonna get it all set up now.

If I could beat that, I wouldnt be trading... I'd be in Vegas. You are right about your concept though. It's just like the coin-flip theory. I wouldn't call it completely random though. I think the most advantageous way to trade is by knowing market microstructure. There is a lot more going...

I'm not looking for a site that's selling something and I'm not looking for a system to trade. Just curious if there are any sites where experienced traders post their daily ES trades. The ES thread in this forum is quite slow these days...

I agree, but I enjoy keeping up with the markets. All I need is a quick glance while I'm out and about.

There are a couple of quote apps, but none with the specific charting features I need. I'd also like to be able to place a trade when I get a proper signal. I think I saw a mini-laptop that is much more portable.

Hey guys, Is there any technology, besides a laptop, that would convienently allow me to keep tabs on the market at all times. I'd like something that would allow me to run a charting program while on the go in case a signal should present itself. I have an Iphone, but that definitely...
