    Schaefer's Journal of Nikkei 225 Mini.

    Hi, You asked the next most common question to 'How to make money?'. Being in Japan I have no need to know the answer to your question, so I've not done that much checking. And I've not heard of anyone finding an alternative broker to IB through which you could trade on OSE. There are a...

    IB and Reuters News Feed

    >brocklanders Does Quotecenter still use those Athena charts? I took the 30 day trial a few years ago and found the charting to be light-years behind other software. I was spending more time adjusting the charts than trading. Truly not designed for traders.

    Trend lines or indicators

    I prefer trendlines as they are attached to actual prices. I guess you could say that I am from the old school, using only price movement and volume to analyze the trend. Simply, I do not find that indicators, moving averages and such to be as accurate as analysis of the price movement itself...

    SP500 Triangle

    >Aaron Copland Regarding the triangle pattern you posted, it looks as though you have used the bottom of the reaction at 1410 as the starting point of the pattern. I think you might find that a triangle pattern (symmetrical, ascending,descending) starts at the end of a move, which...

    Trading Asian (Korean, Japanese)

    I trade the Japanese market in Japan. To answer your 2nd and 3rd questions, you can get real-time data and charts through eSignal and IB. eSignal's charting is lightyears ahead of IB's but you can get only best bid/ask 1. You can place orders through IB and get up to best bid/ask 5. You...

    do candle sticks really work?

    >NihabaAshi No, I do not use candlestick patterns in my TA. And I am of the opinion that one should use what he finds best for him. So nothing against that form of TA whatsoever. I was surprised to find how popular candlesticks had become in the U.S. many years ago. As I remember it...

    >brownsfan019 I can assure you that it's more than 'hearsay' that 'I heard' in the '41 years' that I've been living here in Japan!!

    do candle sticks really work?

    Just so that you will now know and for what it's worth, in the country where candlestick charts originated most printed charts still use candlesticks, but very few Japanese any longer use candlestick patterns in their TA.

    Look at the chart...

    Excuse me for butting in here, but after seeing the chart you posted, showing what you refer to as a triangle pattern (nasdaqbigpicture.jpg),I just felt like recommending that you might want do some additional study of technical chart patterns. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not criticizing...

    Using NTBACKUP to backup eSignal etc.

    Would someone please help me with this. I must reinstall WIN. XP. That is no problem. However, I have a large number of applications in program files that would take a week to install and set up again from scratch. My question is if I backup eSignal, Zone Alarm etc. to 'Program Files'...

    osaka nikkei 225 mini

    Hi, I think I can understand your frustration from an opposite standpoint. That being that I do not trade US Minis but when I follow the price movement I see ES as being much easier to trade than the Nikkei Mini. This may be due to the smoother movement resulting from greater volume...

    osaka nikkei 225 mini

    >Schaefer We spoke a few months ago when you were considering trading the Nikkei225 Mini. It looks as though you began. How do you find it? I don't know if you've heard or if you are interested, but in May the TSE will list the Topix Mini. This month the TSE started using their new...
