    question on getting fast nyse fills

    Sure, ECN's can be set to execute against only their book, or to include everyone else. It's usually called Route Out, and it's different in every software so you may have to ask your broker. Being able to cross the market is crucial...you won't believe that you ever traded without the...

    question on getting fast nyse fills

    Can We Talk About Entries

    No, my entries for my main strategy are 100% automated, and only based on price fluctuations. Sorry I can't give more details than that. I do have a secondary strategy that employs breakouts and that would have to do with TA, but it only works in certain market conditions.

    Can We Talk About Entries

    Solely price action these days. Prop shop kind of stuff. BTW I'm not saying TA is impossible to use...I've just seen too many guys trying to find the holy grail and never learning to trade.

    Can We Talk About Entries

    "if anyone has any criticism please speak up" Flash.... 2-3+ years later you are still trading on technical analysis? Do you know anyone who makes a good consistent living trading that way? I don't. I DO know guys who have failed trading TA. Don't get sucked into that trap. TA makes...

    Is Scaling Out a Fallacy?

    I always scale out of my winners. Scenario: If I expect to make 20 cents on a trade then I will start exiting around 15c and on up to 25c to close it. This allowed me to get my 20c average without moving the market. If I was wrong about the profit target and only got 18c before the...

    I trade like I play golf ?

    When my wife turned a par opportunity into a double bogey yesterday she was pretty frustrated. I told her "on the the next trade baby." She understood. So yeah, golf and trading are related imo.
