I found it on another site, but here is an article from Microsoft about the install on demand "feature" http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q222/6/39.ASP With regards to Window 2000, and Windows XP: So by Microsoft's own statement enabling these is less secure and thus...

There is a setting on Internet Explorer that should be off by default, but needs to be manually turned off in order to avoid a lot of headaches like this. You may miss out on a few IE plugins that you really want to use by doing this, but once you've been bitten by one of these buggers almost...

As gnome stated, adding more moving averages isn't the answer. In fact I would go so far as to say that moving averages are not "the answer" either. They are a tool which from my experience function best as a trend filter rather than as an entry/exit system. Think about what a moving average...

I was out today, and when I came back the price on the CME site for the high, does not jive with the price on my chart (1150.00). What do you guys have for today's (Thursday) high? From the CME website: e-mini s&p 500 futures settlement prices as of 04/08/04 07:00 pm (cst) MTH/...

A couple more interesting threads/posts on the subject of independencee, streaks, and the "mind game" of losing in general as well as discussion of the "Gambler's Fallacy": http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1959&highlight=losing+streak+and+independent...

Take a look at the search feature. This has been discussed at length before: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27557&highlight=losing+streak http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=400061&highlight=losing+streak#post400061 Here are two threads about...

One other bit of editorializing on my part. If you are shooting for 10 point moves AND are trying to buy the bid and sell the ask, and you really only have 3-5 opportunities each day (as stated in previous post), then you will end up missing many of your best trading opportunities over that one...

Good points Pete. I tend to agree with the conclusion. But when you start focusing on the 10 point moves *exclusively* it necessitates having a full understanding of exactly how many of these moves occur in a day, and if you have setups that are capable of exploiting these moves profitably...

Namecallers!!!!! :p

I think an example is in order. Price is trading (NQ at 1142.50 bid / 1143.00 asked. The scalper places his buy order at 1142.50. At this point one of four things is going to happen. 1) Price does not trade through 1142.50, and the scalper's order goes unfilled. 2) Price does not trade...

Pete, Yes, and if you subtract the percentages (above) from 1 you get the % of winners that your system NEEDS to have just to break even when shooting for the specified # of points for both a target and a stoploss. For example for a 1 pt target/stoploss, you need 87.5% winners just to break...

Pete, In addition to the implicit assumption of a 1:1 ratio in the above formula, you're probably already aware, but it bears mentioning for others reading this thread and attempting to calculate their own odds that there is an implicit, though unstated 50%/50% win/loss ratio as well in the...

When you buy at support you do two things that are positive: First you enter at a relatively better price than if you were buying at resistance, for example. And because we are talking about this from the point of view of the index futures, which are prone to retrace, your odds of catching a...

Thanks for your journal.

Your prices match my prices, including what I have for the RTH low, and the allsession low is 1090.00

Yes, how dare the US use its veto power? If there were any justice at all in the UN, Uganda would have the power to veto the US's veto to even the playing field. US vetoes are definitely the CAUSE of terrorism worldwide, and the US State Department should be added to the axis of evil ASAP.

GeneJef, I guess I misread your initial post, and I would also guess others did the same. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I thought you were here to find a method or system from among the ideas posted so far on ET, so I posted a couple of links to that end. I didn't realize that you...

On that same subject, I like this thread (also found in my signature): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17986

Check out these links (also in my signature) - I compiled a list like this a while back. There have been other good discussions and methods posted since. Get familiar with the search function and do a lot of reading, and keep track of the threads that provide value for you in your bookmarks...
