    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Is this the situation where you think the wall may have been breached (WTF!) but sure enough it bounces as you originally anticipated a beat or two later? With deep pockets, there's nothing to stop the bigger players placing a wall just out of range (as above) while whacking in large market...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Trading Journal III

    There was a fast stoch 50 crossover on the 30 minute chart yesterday afternoon with increasing volume. This is an early warning of a potential BO the next day, if you were monitoring it. Focus on the ones that meet your criteria.

    Either i'm tired or there is another problem.

    Goals are important but you must not be so distracted by them that you miss out on what is happening NOW. The same applies to memories of the past. You need some nourishment. Read Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now or listen to the audio book (which better conveys the subtleties, IMO and is on...

    Technical Analysis Doesn't Work

    Nasrudin was found by his neighbour looking in the street for something. "What are you looking for," asked the neighbour. "I'm looking for my key," said Nasrudin. "Where did you lose it?" "In my basement." "Then why are you looking for it here?" "The light is better here." ===...

    Probably best for you to choose Sliding Window and choose the right number for your window size to give you your 2 point grid.

    Since it's all about AAPL-Here's what happened

    Yeah well. I shoulda bought AAPL in '03 when it was $14 pre-split. I thought the P/E looked high relative to its peers. Been beating myself up about it ever since. Then I looked at it again: that was about 1000 trading days ago. Ít has gone up 20x in that time. That's 0.3% per trading...

    I agree with your sentiment - patience is a virtue that is rewarded. Execution is on the syllabus. When you learned to fly, I bet they got you up there solo after a few weeks though (and probably before you felt truly ready?). I think Bearbelly was simply suggesting the equivalent of "doing...

    Why negative interest for Chinese Yuan at Oanda?

    I'm no FX expert but I assume it is because the certain appreciation of the yuan is priced in (and its not a free floating currency yet).

    charting that will let me define grid intervals in futures?

    This is incorrect, you can adjust the vertical scale in QT. Slow down, test your kit.

    Is this the ONLY active DAX thread on ET? Looks like there was support at 7750/51 then.

    shocking (NOT) IB down AGAIN @ night. help finding an alternative PLEASE...

    None that would affect my trading style. Sure it takes more time (a second or two at most). Frankly I'm still amazed that I can sit (almost) anywhere in the world and trade index futures round the clock. It's really cool when you stop to think about it. Don't throw the baby out with the...

    shocking (NOT) IB down AGAIN @ night. help finding an alternative PLEASE...

    I was originally on the NY server and had a few white knuckle moments with the resets - which sometimes go on longer than a couple of minutes. IB support said they'd switch me to the HK server over a w/e. Since then I have had no issues to speak of. You do not want to be trading a...

    shocking (NOT) IB down AGAIN @ night. help finding an alternative PLEASE...

    I use IB for these markets - I'm on the HK server though. I don't know of another "solution provider" with the same functionality as IB. It may be simplest for you to open two accounts as suggested, one with the US server if the reset of the HK server is an issue there...

    When and how did personal income tax start?

    Also from wiki (to the OP: it's really easy to use): A true income tax was first implemented in Britain by William Pitt the Younger in his budget of December 1798 to pay for weapons and equipment in preparation for the Napoleonic wars. Pitt's new graduated income tax began at a levy of 2d in...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Since the journal is in a summer-break type mood, would you mind reminiscing a bit more on your experiences with learning these methods and any important breakthroughs you had along the way? I have a question about wash trades. I've read most of Jack's posts on this subject (e.g. Columbus /...
