    Mental break-down from TA

    Not that I'm a fan of elder I tried to read his latest book but ended up scanning most of it as repititious. But I did not one thing that might help you. He described his triple screen in a way that finally made sense. He said. 1. First define your favourite timeframe (the one you'd...

    PL and more trades

    RM I choose to agree and disagree with you. What you say is true (and a very good post). But. What you say is also potentially very dangerous for someone learning to trade. Learner's, most of us need to do some grind time (trade your plan) while we work through the emotions of trading...

    Something to think about regarding Real Estate

    An economist might believe that (in her moments of supreme self deception) but a trader wouldn't. Never forget that perception is truth.

    Must Have dedicated graphics card in laptop?

    I'd go for the graphics card but a more scientific approach would be to check memory use and processor utilization when running your trading and charting apps. For example, running Sierra Chart on a modern graphics card has less than half the processor load of the same application on an older...

    Your favorite indicator

    It means that price is significantly over the 14 simple moving average when normalized relative to recent movements. Overbought it not a particularly good way of using CCI ... like any other indicator you can be overbought for significant periods of time. You might be better to use it in a...

    With Regard to RSI

    RSI should be set based on the dominant cycles of whatever you trade. So experimentation will result in a currently best number. Smoothing is just that, an attempt to reduce noise (at the expense of lag). Technical analysis can be helped by multiple users but this is not essential if the...

    IB Customer Service is Poor

    IBj, This has been a most informative discussion. Good to hear that you're adding a visible bug management system. Is there a process where tickets escalate for management attention if left outstanding too long or some other flags occur? How should customers escalate if they are not...

    Larry Williams update: "Now on the run" - Daily Telegraph

    Personally I think they are both new ... although Bloomberg could be your pick ... Linda's blog seemed like an opportunistic come and read me post. Keeps life amusing.

    Larry Williams update: "Now on the run" - Daily Telegraph

    And what are the odds the Pekelo will parrot Steve46's view? Do you want to bet that the criticized first timers simply googled the post on Larry and wanted to make their point? Another paranoid fantasy?

    IB Customer Service is Poor

    There are two major costs (in my old world) of going for one customer service model vs the other: business direct: needs more knowledgible staff, faster talking, more direct, less warm and cuddly as individuals retail warm: spend more time on the getting to know u and ur problems...

    dax future - can others see my stops?

    Nah. Sometimes its a real surprise. My real point is that most of the time manipulators can be working for you (which you've obviously found or you wouldn't like the market). In the past I've experienced some bad slippage (20+pts) but only when I was betting support resistance against the...
