Can we please not degrade the TIMES method in any way. Let's respect them, we are all in this for the love of Trading. I would appreciate it.

The Head Idiot who is a very simple man is afraid to ask this, but what the hell is an MFE and MAE. Please be gentle in the explanation. Lay terms if possible. "You need to know what MFE and MAE your method has and optimize both stops and targets knowing these parameters."

Wally- This is a point well taken. If you have the ambition to follow what happened on Friday the one trade that I got stopped on, touched my stop and then performed as I had hoped. In my old backtested method, I used 2 points. If I had done this, the trade would have b/e worst case. Problem is...

Thanks for the positive comment on the thread. I appreciate it. It is not easy to keep this up,but I feel everyone is sharing ideas with me in a way that is helpful to me, "The Idiot" and anyone else that is interested. for some reason is not getting bashed by any whiners..... I believe at...

Hey, I'm still here....raining. First, you have to tip your hat to Afshin(sp). He is a good business man, with a good system and I respect the whole organization. They are endorsed by CBOT and this is not something to take lightly. Now with that said, he is a marketer and a good one it...

I am trading from the 1M chart. Use your longer time frames to help you make decisions. When both give you a good signal. Bingo.

Well damn. I call these elbows. As far as I know, no one has proprietary rights to our shoulders and elbows. This is really interesting. Thanks.

You're right the signal was not there on a 3M chart. You're no idiot I see.:p

I am going to begin the weekly tracking of the journal with 6-18. This is the first day that I traded with my filter and I am settling in with this. Since it is raining here again, I will work on getting a Yahoo Group set up to post my spreadsheet and other stuff of interest concerning my...

I saw the trade at the opening too. It was a nice set up. Left click button was quivering at a very high level. It's probably worth the risk overall to give this good of a signal a try at the open. Just afraid of getting burned early in the day. Personally, I like using the additional filter...

6 Postions Taken 4 Sucessful 2 Failed ( I am counting the Breakeven trades as failures) 66% Daily P/L = +6.0 Points 1 contract = $300

Glad you got the TIMES figured out okay. Get it.:D How the heck do you get the TS program set up for them if they don't give you the settings? Guess there's a way they do it. I have tweaked and tweaked on this and now use a combination of my own. It does match this particular chart...

Text Book VTDT @ 15:58. Already produced 3 points. Too late for me though.

Sorry. Have been been away for a while. There was a sell signal generated at 15:04. Was not able to take it though. Unbelievable. Only me. Hope someone got this. I have missed two of these nice signals now. It does pay to sit and watch!

My guess is your setting are wrong in your options. My post show the correct time. Check you settings. They should be set to your own time zone. We can talk more about the other in a while. Too busy right now.

Sorry could not get it in fast enough Stop 992.25

SL 995.25 If I get a buy signal, I will get out with a small gain and reverse direction. I got some mixed signals after my entry. Got out at +1. Good byy signal developing.

I think the few who stop by here have the hang of what I am doing. I am going to stop posting charts for every trade at this point. If I enter a trade based on something unusual or a longer signal, I will be sure to include a chart. Also, if anybody needs to see a chart for something I will...

Signal at 12:55. For anybody out there. There was a signal that predicted the run down which is now around 3 points. I had to leave for a while and did not post it or take it myself. It was also confirmed by my additional filter. Hope somebody got it. Produced 5 points in a short time. Dang.

Stop 998 No good. Original call was right. -1:mad:
