    Martin Schwartz, Vic Sperandeo et al

    Thanks Thunderdog. Victor Sperandeo is one of my favorites. I use his rules for drawing trend lines and 1-2-3 changes of trend all the time. Banker

    52 week high list

    Not lately. If you keep track of the New Highs and New Lows for the major markets: http://finance.yahoo.com/m0 You can get an idea for the odds. It's been pretty dry on the new lows list for quite some time. That wasn't the case a year or so ago though. If you are going to play the new...

    I saw the title to this thread and I thought Victor was finally done averaging... What ever happened to Victor? I wonder if he is living in a cardboard box.... Sorry for the off topic post. Banker

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    4 years is almost an antique in computers. Maybe that is the problem. I guess there is only one way to find out. You would think if the problem was Prophet.net, they would be out of business by now.... Are we talking about letting java charts stream DELL,CSCO etc. or market matrix? I...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    Have you contacted them about your issues? I had problems with their java a long time ago and they told me how to fix my computer settings etc. It may work for you too. I have never had a problem with their quotes. My fills have been consistent with their stated real time prices. My only...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    I use a silver membership with Prophet.net: http://www.prophet.net/upgrade/memberships.jsp I think it's an incredible value. 60 days of intraday data is very nice to have for swing trading. With the Java charts, you can save your trendlines and text annotations like Margo was talking...

    The GLOBEX Euro trades fairly consistently overnight it seems. Besides the holiday of course. You can chart it delayed for free at the CME website. Banker

    Safety of online forex dealers

    Thanks for the info. I think I would feel more comfortable trading GLOBEX through my IB universal account rather than opening an account with a online FX dealer. From what you have said I plan on setting my overnight stop orders to execute on bid/ask versus last price. I'm thankful that IB...

    Safety of online forex dealers

    That's kind of what I was thinking about how these guys play the game. I would prefer to participate at the best bid/ask (if that's even possible) and pay my commissions. Livermore used to watch real transactions from the stock exchange. When he placed his orders at the bucket shops, they...

    Safety of online forex dealers

    FXCM's charts don't seem to match their dealing prices offered to me on their trading platform. In addition when you look on the trading platform for day's high or low for a pair, it is often times not the same high or low shown on the chart. It's rather odd if you ask me. Banker
