    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Is the discretion in the trades taken or the trades reported? I don't mean to discount Jeans trading results but when people post winner after winner with no mention of the losers I can't help but be just a wee a bit skeptical :) btw.. guess you don't want to hear about my methodology...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    While this is working good for Jeanmichel I've never had much luck with ADX however I do get the same results using the dmi crossovers. As for ADXR, I don't have a clue and personally have a hard time understanding Jeans charts but then I might not be the brightest bulb on the block :) Note the...

    Daytrading breakouts in the ES

    fwiw.. chart attached. 5:00am bar, hi 3261, next bar lower hi and lower lo. was a single bar pullback(bad). The next bar did pull back to 3258 but I'd not of stopped out that quickly. therefore depending upon stop management from there it went to a hi of 3284. So this one was marginal and I...

    PC - shutdown or leave running?

    thanks for the replies. sounds like considering potential memory problems(leaks/fragmentation) which I have also had it makes sense to power down eod.

    I didn't take it but dax had a trigger above 3261. just a hair too late for me.

    Daytrading breakouts in the ES

    I think db made a good point yesterday during the chop about needing to see some evidence of a trend before jumping on one of these. when you've got a day or period of time that's drifting you really shouldn't force a trade. One of the few indicators I use is ADX to help me pick out a trending...

    Daytrading breakouts in the ES

    yes estx looks like it "could" break the range up but it's pretty limp and certainly no conviction over on dax. probably have to wait for the US markets to open, even then don't see today as a very high odds day to trade. think I'm gonna grab a nap.

    not much sign of any trend here. dax still within the same range it's been in since about 10:30 yesterday. dax has tested 3240 3 times since then.

    PC - shutdown or leave running?

    does anyone have a knowledgeable opinion about whether or not you should shut down a pc daily or leave running all the time. I typically shut mine down at the end of the day but someone told me that a pc engineer type had told them it was actually better on the hard drives to leave them running...

    To anyone who has a two-way satellite internet access...

    It's not that bad. I've had directwav which is 2 way for about 2 years now. The latency is about 700ms or .7 sec on average so far charting etc it's fine. The bandwidth is on average about 500-700Kb, sometimes as high as 1.5M, sometimes as low as 200K but on average 400K. I pay $69.95/month...

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    Steve, I guess your comment is directed to me. I have no problem pulling the trigger however I do have strict entry criteria and the discipline to adhere to those rules. Especially when it comes to throwing money at a new method such as this. Even though I think it's good I'm not entering...

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    vienna you and I were in sync on this one. poorer than steve for the moment but I think in the long run scouting out the choice setups will pay off. money missed is better than money lost. I'm trading 6-10 lot and will not go unless it all lines up. overall I'm much better than 50% and the...

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    what am I missing here? How did you get triggered at 1006.5? I showed a trigger at 1005, at that there appeared some descrepancy between the indexes, messy etc. I didn't take it :(

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    unfortunately the anonymous nature of electronic BB's such as this enable small people like Walther, especially when it's supported by the moderators. if it was face to face reality someone would pop him and put a stop to it. meanwhile we use the ignore feature which doesn't work because people...

    To ET moderator: You'll notice my registration date is this month. I'm not a newbie but I've been around for years but always get fed up with threads seem to always degrade into nothing and have not given ET much more than an occasional glance. I happened to come back and browse ET and found...

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    Suggestion to control all the BS that gets created by guys like Walther that are acting like teenagers. Rather than confronting these obvious distractors and provoking more empty commentary just put them in your ignore list. If no one is listening they will go away.

    Probably so.. Because you got sooo touchy I am convinced that results are not that great. So then you have no interest in this thread. Stop posting and just go away. PLEASE

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    Yes. It's a trading idea which JR has presented. If the concept interest you then go back and work thru the charts and see if it's worth pursuing. If you're really interested put in the time to check it out yourself, then engage in some kind of productive dialog to learn and maybe improve it.
