thx, the 390 minute bars did the trick, I wish I was bright enough to have figured that one out

Anyone else notice a lot of symbols missing daily bar from friday and missing weekly bars. I've occasionally had one or symbols with a problem, but not dozens. What's going on?

I'm playing with medved/Quotetracker for Hong Kong futures. I can't figure out what the symbols are for the historical charts (which come from Prophet). Anyone know whether HK index futures are available historical data from Prophet, and if so what are the symbols. Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you meant, but I'm using MSN Messenger with XP. Totally free, instant messenging, voice, video and white boards. Messenger is not NAT (network address translation)friendly with certain types of routers, so a new router might be in order if you use one. I'm online allday...

I beleive the implication behind that question is THE key to trading success. It strikes at the heart of the idea that trading is 80% psychology, 20% mechanics. Salvadore Dali once said, "the difference between me and a mad man is I'm not mad". That statement implies an absolute certainty of...

Same shit, different day.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Shame is: most students never reach ready.

"Not wanting to use margin"? You mean you're afraid you don't have the discipline to take your stops!? If you really want to day trade (ie. not hold overnight) using margin versus cash makes absolutely no difference. It's all in the risk control (ie. position size, stop's, etc.) Sure, margin...

We've been getting "more and bigger" rules since 1776. As old man Kennedy (JFK's dad) said back in the 30's: there are so many laws on the books it's impossible to live a day in this country without breaking several of them. Once again, I'd like to point out, you're focusing on what you can NOT...

I opened my account about a year ago with cashiers check. It actually took over 30 days from mailing date. Later, I wired money. About 3 hours later, it was in my account. For the small cost, I'd wire it.

maybe, maybe not

Watch the SOX, it often leads the NQ.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo, don't take my good trades away. Just kidding. Almost all my scalps come from the following process. I use Qcharts which has a feature called hotlists. One of them is "unusual volume". That by itself will do what you want, but many if not most of what comes up are penney...

Well, since no one else wants to, I'll stick my head under the guiotine and take a stab at it. First off, I monitor my positions by setting alerts just shy of my target and just before a stop would hit. For intraday I also keep up a small 5min chart. I'll bet, if you're missing the moves...

OK, I can't believe some of you are this stupid not to have figured it out. I still think you just want to complain. I'm sure there are many other ways to do this. I'm just telling you what I did so we can stop all this PDT chit chat on elitetrader and start talking about trading again. So, here...

qdz, Man, are you coming from a place of fear. Life could be so much easier for you if you would decide, right now, to just let go. Consider this question: how much money do you want to make? You said you wouldn't trust any broker with $25,000. How in the world do you think you'll ever...

Stop crying like a baby, stand up, shake the dust off, and do something; anything. Right now you are letting your emotions dictate decisions and focus. This is guaranteed to wreak havoc on you. You've done NOTHING but focus on the problem. As long as you do that, nothing will change. If you...

Bundleofshit: LOL, my wife will get a kick out of that one. But, me thinks the lady (ah, I mean man) doth protest too much about the price. Do you have any idea about the cost of a single college credit at a decent university? Your response is filled with so much negative energy that I can only...

TKO, With all due respect, you apparantly know nothing. You make statements that are nothing but guesses. Have you seen a pristine seminar? Have you traded side by side with any of their people? Have you seen audited p/l statements? Did you know that Oliver Velez and Greg Capra trade daily...

I have attended both of Pristines 2 day seminars. They are not over $3,000. They are $1,995. For me, I got MORE than my moneys worth. I have also attended pristines week long mentorship program where you trade with one of their best people. Again, worth a lot more than I paid. I'm also...
