BigHog -- I like your levels. :D

gotcha, thanks.... so, i take it that today's levels would be, give or take a tick, 1430.50 and 1427.50?

Big Hog -- Sorry to be a knucklehead here, but I see the second bar opened at 1429. +6 makes 1430.50, etc. Also, even if the first tick was 1427.50, +6 makes 1429. Sorry, again, if I'm being incredibly obtuse. Thanks, in advance, for your patience!

question...who the hell would buy here???

question: are you nuts?

no limits to what you can achieve with 5k....or 1k, for that matter. the only limits are those you impose on yourself. sounds like a fotune cookie homily, sure, but it's true. fwiw, i know someone who traded $1200 into a fortune. i should add that he did this only after blowing out...

Question: Why on earth does anyone pay $600 a month (or more) for a freakin' DOM. I mean, c'mon, folks. Methinks the emperor is butt-naked.

check out peplink. my impression is that it's the gold standard among load balancers for home/small office use.

Why are you looking to others for your inspiration? Here's the straight dope: Compounding your own measly stash to a nine or ten figure sum is about as doable as, say, flying a Cessna across the Atlantic. Of course, as you'll recall, those odds didn't stop Lindbergh.

I signed up back when it was $1000. I'm not sorry I did it, exactly. He seems like a nice enough guy. But the thing I really learned was the futility of trying to learn to trade from a home study course. Bottom line: You can't.

amen to that.

What an idiotic question. I feel like an idiot asking it. But, surely, I'm not the only one who hasn't an idea what the answer might be -- other than one grounded in nothing but his own ungrounded speculation. I've been trading the ES full time now for all of -- oh, gee, must be going on...

Ah! Thank you! Your clue just prompted me to reinspect the actual formula. The period "n" must be an even number. Thanks again!

Hey, thanks. I do have the code. I'm puzzled by its tendancies, that's all. For example, the way it can be smoother at some smaller lengths than some larger ones. I say "some" because this is not consistently true across all values -- i.e., 10 may be smoother than 14, but 11 considerably...

Hi -- Does anyone have any experience with this indicator? Please PM me if you're willing to discuss: I've some questions about the way it "acts." Thanks!

Hey Maverick, thanks for this. I'm not sure I'm following, however. In fact -- sorry -- I've just read this a fourth time and I'm afraid I don't understand. Would you mind spelling it out for a complete idiot (i.e., me)? Thanks again.

I meant any other banded momentum oscillator -- such as stochastics, %R, etc. In others words, "Brand X."

I'd like to know more. Would you care to elaborate? What, in your view, sets RSI apart from "Banded Momentum Oscillator B"?

What can I say? In my heart or hearts, I believe you're right. Damn you, sir...

I was being glib. No disrespect intended, either to Mr. Wilder, or to those thousands of accomplished traders who find so much utility in RSI and its ilk. Personally, I find price-based "lower-pane" indicators -- i.e., other than support/resistance, moving averages, etc. -- to be of limited...
