Yup I think it was Prologic's info on that thread I read that got me started on share / volume bars. My trading screen is very simple and I like it because it works....if I could trade successfully with a complicated screen I would probably use that....not sure if my personality has anything...

I actually read a thread on ET that made a lot of sense to me about volume / share bars vs. time bars. I can't recall the thread but basically price is only printed when an actual share trades hands, so to me it is the best way to watch price based on shares traded for it to print a...

Hmmmm, I am just trying to find a place where I can set a reasonable stop and then looking for the trend to continue, if it doesn't continue I take the stop and then look to get on the next trend I see. Key is my gains are usually +4 points and more and stops 2 points and less, course I have had...

I try and get with the short term trend by entering retracements. The short term trend is basically defined by the current HH, HL's or LL, LH's on the 400 volume bar chart for NQ.

:D Usually in a trade from 1 - 15 mins but it could be 30+ mins on the odd occasion that we stay in a range after entry.

Hey, Sorry was not on computer for almost whole weekend and took yesterday off as well. Yes I plan to increase size on both the NQ and equities. I don't really base my NQ trading off of stocks and how they are performing but I do make equity trades based on what futures are doing. Ya, I...

Hi, Took yesterday off, back at it today :D Cheers :D

Cheers matey :D

Hi, Net Gain $216 on two NQ trades, 1 car each. Did a couple of SPY trades and GOOG trades as well and basically went breakeven overall on these trades. Nice day :D Cheers :D

Hey, I traded both Naz and NYSE stocks at the beginning. I have also traded YM, ER, ES and now I am on the NQ (like I said mainly due to lower leverage (only $20 a point, ER $100 a point, ES $50 a point, etc). I don't mind posting during the day if things are slow. For example today, 2 NQ...

Hey, I traded full time from 1999 - 2000 (a little over 1 year), went back to work full time in 2000 but was lucky enough where I had a job which allowed me to watch the markets and trade during the day very close to a full time trader. I resigned my job Dec 2006 and have been full time...

I began trading when all the hype about day trading found itself to me. I am skeptical by nature so definitely was not thinking it was going to be some get rich quick scheme....I pretty much knew from the start it would be a long and challenging road. I basically stopped trading equities...

Hi, I started trading equities in 1999, moved to futures in March 2005. I had one year of nice success in equities but besides that I struggled to achieve consistency so I thought I would try and focus on futures to eliminate the urge to jump all over the place looking for random stocks to...

NP :D

Sure :D

NQ trader here :D

Cheers :D

Hi, Net Gain +$156 on 5 trades, 1 lot each NQ. Not a bad day trading the NQ. Made some AAPL and GOOG trades that were not so hot but finished positive on the day NQ + equity trades. Cheers :D
