For those that are interested there's a trial teaching MP starting next week in a PalTalk room. More details here: http://www.jpjtrading.com/ I know the guy that wrote the testemonial on that site and have traded with him over the last year and it looks pretty good. I've signed up for the...

I came across a web site called http://www.trickortrade.com which attempts to expose the frauds which I think is an excellent idea but unfortunately it doesn't get much traffic. I've posted a question about whether or not anybody's heard anything about Ace here...

I've updated the chart from the last Fed Day and so a fairly complete fed day chart history going back 1998 for the E-mini S&P500 - the ES. The 2004 charts have the FOMC decision above them. And it looks like I changed the link to: http://www.deltat1.com/Education/articles/fed_days/index.htm

Thanks. Have you ever tried any of his stuff? Is it any good? Do you know what method or system he used for this competition?

I didn't know that was a contest account? Are you familiar with that person or claim? I am not.

I don't understand the question...?

As promissed I've updated this note about rollovers with today's charts and also fleshed out an explanation on the #F directive that can be used with eSignal charts. Thanks for the input everyone.

Just read this which I thought was topical and relevant: Ryan Jones is considered one of the trading industries "most complete traders". Starting his trading career at the early age of 16, he had traded nearly every major market and strategy by the age of 21. At the age of 26, Ryan signed a...

Tomorrow is rollover day in e-mini and other futures contracts. Last week eSignal re-published a piece that I wrote on rollover days in their "trade like a pro" section of their web site. I have just spent some time reworking this article/note/tip and you can read it here. Basically it is trying...

How long do "those days" last for. There was a period during the roaring 80s when you could stick a pin in the paper and pick out any stock and it was a winner and we've more recently seen that with NASDAQ stocks in the late 90s. I wonder if anybody has measured the period of time (as a...

True. I will be ammending the article and placing a link to this thread in it. I will try and include a pre-article on where/how to create edges.

Correct: I didn't mention that it was gross revenue that we were looking at during this study and that taxes would have to be paid on that. And yes you're 100% correct in saying that would make the journey longer. You could easily work tax into the equation by adjusting the formula. In fact I...

Thanks Morty. I took a look at your site. It's good and plenty of useful info. Thanks again.

Assigning any profit goal would not work. You need to sit down and calculate what your edge is and how many times a day/week that edge is available and plug in the numbers. The best place to get these figures are from your past trading records and if you've kept good records you'll have a...

It's no secret how winning traders win and take the profits from everyone else. They have an edge and they exploit that edge day in and day out. It's a number game. If you buy a can of beans for 30 cents and sell it for 40 cents you make a 10 cent profit. Do that 10,000,000 times and you've made...

5 minute ES Fed Day charts for 2004: http://www.deltat1.com/Education/fed_days/fdc_2004.htm

I've written a follow up article on this subject using last Friday's (10 Sep 2004) ES data. There is also an interesting (IMO) chart here that compares trades (ticks), volume and time at price using % to normalize the data into a comparable form. I've never seen a chart like this before so...

I've made some changes to the original page that started this thread so I'm referencing it here again. I've basically added the fact that range/momentum bars exist. Secondly, does anybody have 4 chart which show the same time period (say half a trading session) with each of the 4 different...

Your signature quote is good advice. After I parked my boat in a harbour on one of the San Blas islands I took a look at the map on the GPS and it had my boat sitting on top of the volcano on the island. If I had valued the map more than reality I would have been in big trouble...

Don't you mean the other way around? Sellers are backing off when price is shooting up...
