Maybe you'd like to put your trades and trading life on display: Maybe you want to feel yourself to be part of a community. Maybe you like the idea of others admiring your success. Quite possibly, you believe that exposing your trading rationales and results to a small "public" will reinforce...

but even more dramatic on the NDX, where we just put in, on Friday, the lowest range non-holiday session since '98 (in total points, not in percentage terms).

30-day volatility is a rather misleading measure, at least as far as day-tradability is concerned, as it includes some high-range days grouped together near the beginning of the "lookback" period. Volatility and range have both been trending down rather sharply over the period: If you...

That's hard to believe. I used to trade with them: Great company if you trade options and/or very large positions, and if you like to have someone else work your orders. Otherwise, they're way behind the times for stock trading, even for web-based stock trading - and they've had nothing...

Well, now that you've explained your situation, it looks to me like the issue comes down to whether or not you want to be a trader enough. Someone who's more familiar with scalping dynamics than I am might be better able to assess whether or not there's some realistic way for you to improve...

That's a matter of some debate in these parts. I tend to agree with you, but, in addition to whatever risk there might conceivably be the future tradability of something that happens to be working right now, there might be several other reasons as well for an individual not to want to go into...

That's a broad question. I could write a book about my trading style. I may even do that some day. Even now, part of my approach includes treating my trading as though I was preparing to write it up - among other things asking myself, if I were writing a trading book, how I would handle...

That's one thing that TRIN (and variations) can be used for - in some circumstances anyway - and in conjunction/conformation with other indications

Presuming that we're not working for the same firm or sharing profits or running into each other etc.: No direct benefit, as your improved performance is extremely unlikely to have any impact on my performance. Much for the same reason, however, there can be plenty of indirect benefit...

Well. here's a chart I happened to clip and save a few months ago, based on a formation we discussed "in realtime" in the ET chatroom. It illustrates a classic-style flag breakout - as well as some Fib projections and re-tracement, some S/R action, and some TICK stuff. (Um, don't get the idea...

Well, I didn't say that it "all" works, or that making "it" work is as easy as the books sometimes make things look. I should perhaps add, if it I didn't make it clear earlier, that I only occasionally trade directly off TAST-type patterns: My main set-ups are unique to the intraday time...

I really thought you were going to add "with your balls tied very tight by a rope..." Would represent the typical situation just a tad more accurately...

Oh well, so I guess I'll have to do something else this weekend than debate TAST with you... darn. Still, thanks for you reply. Not to make you self-conscious, but it's interesting to picture what you're doing. As you know, I trade individual stocks pretty much exclusively. I do so based...

Well, at the risk of actually engaging in a discussion on ET, I'd be happy to debate the "worth" vs. the "worthlessness" of TAST with you, and, I'll even set aside the failsafe case for the former viewpoint - that observation of its worthlessness might be of some value - unless you're determined...

There are many concepts developed in E&M's TA OF STOCK TRENDS that I find useful for daytrading - the most important being the way of thinking about the markets and about the typical patterns that develop over the course of trading. Direct translation of TAST's methods to daytrading isn't...

no

Can't say I like it all, AMEX trading OTC... Part of it's just getting used to something that looks different and may act differently, and I can't say that my results have so far been any different than they would have been otherwise, but, if I wanted to trade a specialist-controlled system, I'd...

Great commercial - plus it's Mike's Hard Iced Tea, not Lemonade. Puhleez. Evil Head: "I didn't know Mike's made a Hard Iced Tea." Smart-Looking possibly Insane but Nice Blonde: "You bet." Love the Evil Head POV shots of her, too - not too subtly leering at her well-sweatered form...

The book being sold by Global Investor appears to be the 1997 1st Edition, which, as I recall, was updated in 2000 specifically to take into account new aspects of TS 2000i and some improvements in standard computer platforms. The version I got was this one...
