I think he has a good question, Jackevant, even. When and where do BO's work? I still want to know what he is trading. I'm here to help.

Well, I still adhere to what I learnt when I lived in Massivetwoshits: drag 'em inside the house if ya hadda shoot 'em outside. But you have inkkem TAXES in Fladada, NONE in Tejas!

NN, it's a personal thing, but I find that a few drinks help to distract me when my systems say I shouldn't be trading. Drinking performs a similar function as does ET.

Trading what?

Do you live there? Vote with your feet! Oh, and a nice place walk to is North Texas. Ain't got no damn gun laws to speak of, and you can qualify for concealed carry. Because of that, we ain't got no crime where white people with guns live, 'ceptin' the white collar kind. Also remember...

You will find that the fine print says they can take the other side of your trades. Might as well be a bucket shop. They'll make it back on poor fills, and you'll have to have damn low latency bid/ask data to ever see it.

Cariocas, you have to be careful of Merchant. He is obsessive on the subject of oil. But you must ask yourself, if he likes oil so much, why doesn't he TRADE it? In truth, I find Merchant's approach to be ridiculously simpleminded. I mean, taking the RATIO of NQ to oil? No self-respecting quant...

No, you're not giving up something, you're getting something. SCREWED!

Smiling, I trade it every day that I am not working, even choppy days, and usually manage to make butter and egg money. I find that trading choppy days sharpens my understanding of the difference between chop and trend. Also I find that that experience is good for learning when to stand aside on...

BTW, Jessop, FWIW I forgot to say that I use NO conventional TA indicators. I wasted a lot of time testing that crap to no avail. Oh, and being a drunk, I absolutely love the first third of Elder's "Trading for a Living". I also found Vadym Graifer's psychological self-examination in the front...

Jessop, you expressed my own central psych issue perfectly: fear. I assume you're re-reading BOTH Douglas books. But today is a grand day for reversals, so I must get back to that addictive dominatrix bitch I can't live without.

John No-Middle-Initial Merchant, if you are reading this, I BELIEVE. See the impact of the 10:30 ET crude inventories report. Apparently they were crude.

Thanks for sharing. People I've corresponded with here who trade NQ use an amazing variety of methods: intraday pivots, Bollinger bands, Keltner bands, Jacking, classical (1930's) TA...I can't remember it all going back over five years. The funny thing IMO is that we are all true believers in...

Well done, Jessop! You prove the point that right now NQ is a good place to trade. But that comes and it goes. When you say "pivots", do you mean "pivot points" or simple S/R? I ask because I don't use any long term price references (stupid, maybe). I just trust what is happening without any...

Eusdaiki, the trick is to recognize the difference between a consolidation you should hold threough and a significant retrace you should exit or reverse on. Try looking at the slope of the action after a big runup, it's "tightness", and the volume.

Porky, you violated rule number four of this thread: "Include some bit of NQ, no matter how absurd, in your post." Care to correct that oversight? If not, fuck off, attention seeker! This is a serious thread for sharing ideas on how to trade NQ with high expectancy, and we definitely have low...

Quit trading NAZ stocks and start trading NQ. It's sooooo much easier to game. A veritable money machine, just waiting for you to turn the crank!

Well, it was World War III (again) today, a three way Armageddon between the LO MMs, the long block MO computers, and the short block MO computers. I am convinced that the latter two are not the same. I generally try not to take it personally, to remain calm and serene, but there were several...

Excellent advice, IMO. DB was the expert here on classical (1930's) TA before they ran him off. A great loss to ET.

These are perilous (and parlous) times we live in. Beware the attraction of totalitarianism. Dictators eradicate free markets, and worse, good pornography. So keep the Republican Party in power.
