"hippie voodoo" being defined as fib numbers/arcs/retracements, Murray Maths, harmonics, or other artsy fartsy crap that you overlay on your charts. Non-hippie-voodoo traders only use things like indicators, price action, volume, bid/ask spreads, stats, or other real things.

what sort of drawdown are you sitting through to get 1 tick profits???

Sorry, my hedge fund only returns 99% per year, not 100% per year.

ok last question: I thought options expired, but OEC is asking me if I want to roll them over. I own OESF9 C870 and OESF9 P870. It's asking me if I want to roll them over and if so, into what option. I have the ability to pick a new expiry month and a new strike price. Is that normal...

are futures options reverse of normal options? How come when I BUY an option (in OEC demo account) my account gets credited, but when I SELL (write) an option, I account gets debited? That's backward.

My problem was when I would go to View --> Option chain, the menu would be blank. The guy I chatted with had me log off and then log back on. I'm not sure if he changed a setting or not. Then I went to Orders --> Contract setup and select "options" from the button at the top and then...

how do you know when they expire? Is there a different letter code for futures options?

Do index futures options expire when the futures contract expires? So for NQH9 it expires in march. Would its associated options also expire in march, like OENF9 P1200? (I'm assuming that's the name of the option... that's what it says in OEC). Thanks.

that makes sense. But then how would you know how many options to use to hedge your position of x number of NQ contracts?

Say you were going to buy an NQ call option. Do they work the same as stock options where you have to multiple the price by 100 to get the amount you will pay for it? Or is it a smaller magnitude? Seems like one option being = to 100 contracts would be a lot!

n/m i talked to their support and figured it out.

Doesn't seem to be set up that way by default?? my options menu is blank

btw these 343 volume bars are appearing ever 2-3 seconds. No clue how you blokes trade that fast :eek:

this is as close as I could come to the Erg El Guapo is posting. My thick colored line is a MA of the Erg itself (the green dashed line). Not exactly right, you can see at 13:31 his is lower and at 13:32 his is higher, and mine is the opposite, but it's close. Here are the settings I used...

are you blacking out the settings on your Ergodic indicator? edit - n/m

i'm headed out of town for thanksgiving in about... 5 minutes. I will be back in this thread this weekend. See you guys then. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for posting. Can you define PPF, what it means to be "in osillation," etc., and anything else that a noob such as myself might not know the definition of? Do these rules apply only with your Erg settings or can they be applied to any erg settings?

I set my ergodic to the settings as outlined in that article and it did not match the images you were posting.
