Mr. Huge, I'm not sure how they write at Wharton, but here on ET it would be "Investing is one of my hobbies".

Fear is getting up every morning and commuting to a job u hate. Fear is taking a couple's big dinner order and only getting eight $. Fear is hearing from ur 23 yr old boss u need to work late ! Fear is a denied credit card while on a date. C'mon guy's, trading is a peaceful walk in the...

Not sure about his spread trade book, but i have to agree w/ dottom, that Ross Hooks and counting higher low's etc. provides no edge and makes at least 2 of his $150.00 books not worth wiping ur a$$ with the paper it's printed on.

Jolly Jack, What i do is determine wether the current move is an impulse move or corrective, in my time frame(i trade 1 minute NQ and ES). I then enter on the corrective move, in the direction of the impulse wave. I look at the higher time frame Elliott to get an idea on targets and where...

I think it is a mistake to use Elliott Wave to "predict" the market, nothing and nobody can do that successfully. However, Elliott Wave does allow one to "understand" and trade the market very profitably by using the fundamentals. The beauty in the principle is you don't need to know...

Alphie, The mini's are not as "mini" and "cute" as most brokers pawn them off as. They can turn evil real fast, and bite u in the a$$. :D

Natalie, You can check out www.tradestationworld.com they show alot of programing examples and ideas on what u can do with TS. I however also recommend TS6 over the 2000i version.

Since the markets r fractal in nature there is always a trend in every time frame. So knowing this, u must decide what time frame u r trading, and if your particular time frame is trending, how far it will go. Elliott Wave is probably the best, and most complete definition of market...

No one asked for a review of Allen's performance. You see Allen's performance is a "stand-up" performance. He trades in real time in front of a "live" audience. Allen can't even sing out his trades to his screaming fans (in his superb voice) he must type them. In addition he has to execute...

Profitseer is correct. Obviously if u have a methodology that can be successfully implemented on the smaller time frames u will out perform ANY swing trading methodology. It's "expectancy" that controls max profit levels.

If all the entire parameter set is positive i see nothing wrong with optimizing. If on the other hand u have a bunch of holes, forget it ! "Curve Fitting" is forcing the system to perform on the data. "Optimizing" should be looking for the best parameters out of a set of positive...

Yannis, Ok i understand what u r saying, i'm just saying if a trade "works" most traders, especially newbie's, will simply credit the entry set-up and move on. ie: a NR-7 break-out after a test of support. It worked "WOW" that's a great set-up man. I'll use that next time. Next time...

Yannis, there is always an infinite number of things that could have caused a WINNER, just think of the great number of potential factors involved and their permutations. So if u have more winners than looser's, fix the looser's. If u have more looser's than winners, guess it's faster to...

For those struggling, Thee Best Indicator is.... Take a look at what prevented your trade from working, and avoid those circumstances on the next trade. If u keep analyzing your trades this way u will soon be profitable.
