Shit I missed this, I didn't get the email from ET. Did you get togehter? When's next time?

This was covered already but I just have to say that it was a real treat to hang out with traders. Beats the hell out of boards and typing for sure. I'm certainly up for getting together again, be it for beers or a study group or whatever. We'd be talking about the markets anyway. Edit...

All systems here.

Deal. Six of us already, will definitely join tables.

Nice view from the Mills. I say we go there if the weather's nice, if not we go to the Yaletown pub. Three of us so far.

I'm up for it. Where is the Mill? How about Yaletown for a good brew?

Scott (or someone from ESignal), Can you draw trendlines with the standard package? Are they saved with the chart? How many indicator panels? Can you change settings for basic indicators? How many charts can you open simultaneously? Thanks, Vorzo

I get it from QCharts. I assume higher end charting packeges have it too.

10:00 got nailed on the spike -> entered short on trav left -> fail trav -> did not reverse -17 YM then we had ccc -> rocket signal at 11:00 -> short -> fail trav/fail at YM IT -> TWS crash -> could not exit on time -> STEPPED BACK and relaxed -> what looked like 2nd pt 3 IT at 11:35 on ES ->...

I'd like to chime in on this as I have tried Jack's equity method over the past few months. My version of the method was based on my understanding Jack's posts on ET and the MSN site, and it was incomplete. I wasn't doing assessments or keeping stop logs either. I was entering trades before...

Jack, thank you for the fix and encouragements. As always, you are absolutely right. Perspective is indeed what I was lacking. Preflight checks ALWAYS and I will never burrow again. When in doubt, instead of zooming in I will zoom OUT. Thanks again teach.

Magna, My take is that we are to use bracket after sync if mkt closed in CCC that spills over in the morning. However, I haven't bracketed after sync to enter yet. Using 5m values would place your bracket too far from the mkt, I agree. I haven't thought of this because I was using 1m for...

Someone PM'ed me with a few questions about the stop logs, and since this was an issue that people kept asking about, I thought of posting my answers to the PM below. Yes, you're supposed to log stops continuously. Record the high or low of everything that you consider an "important...

Jerome, Thanks for sharing this. It describes my trading on Fri very well - not connected to the market. On bad days like this (on a personal level, not bad market days) we perceive a distorted reality of the market, and trade that instead. The Aug days lowered my confidence in the follow...

Scientist, Thanks for your feedback. I was aware of the lag problems of the Quote.com feed, it's just that it never interfered with my trading - call it luck. I haven't tried ESignal but QCharts is one of the best charting packages, probably the reason many traders are willing to put up...

My quotes lagged majorly on Fri. I missed the 10:00 MACD x down, which I was anticipating, because of that. I was using QCharts instead of Sierra for YM because I noticed that YM quotes were not delayed anymore, although I haven't added CBOT to my exchanges. Anybody else noticed that...

Update: Thu Aug 21 #1 synch -> rocket -> execution in ES by mistake (BT set to ES) long 9:48 1004.50 wash 9:49 1004.50 on execution error. Turns out I exited from a good trade - ES was rocket too but I didn't realize. 0.00 #2 YM failed rocket -> lower high -> stoc 50 BO short 11:08...

I will try to divert the topic back to trading before more people decide to leave ... nwb, I hope you stick around for a while, your contributions and insights are very helpful. Tue 9:45 Mich report due -> came out late at 9:55 -> BO -> rocket Hesitated to enter waiting for pt 2 -> pt 2...

It's sad to see Jack go, I really owe him a lot. I hope he changes his mind and comes back. I will email him and ask him to let us know if he moves to another board. The wieners (as someone here called them) seem to come here in waves, usually after bad days in the market. This month was the...

Long rocekt from open -> synch hod bo long 9:46 995.25 1 m later pt 2 -> failure at daily short channel (light grey) -> wash 9:50 995.00 -0.25 reverse on trav right short 9:50 994.75 wash 9:56 994.50 HAIR TRIGGER (1m DU) +0.25 1m is useful for entries, but after that get rid of...
