Wow! Kindof like http://www.digstock.com/ Great minds think alike!:D

Do you change your target for each market? Do you target 2 ticks for both ES and YM? Do you think the tick size change for NQ next week will make it more attractive to scalpers, or less attractive? Thanks for the posts VST!

ABCNEWS PrimeTime had an article on 'Testing Game Theory'. From the article: The text article and short video are at: http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1730849&page=1 I thought it was interesting. Nalebuff has several books on Game Theory available via Amazon. Good luck!

I agree with this statement. If trading is a 'skill', much like any other skill, then it is acquired by steps: Hearing -> Understanding -> Practice -> Mastery -> Habit Hearing, understanding and much of practice is mechanical, yet when the individual is reaching the 'mastery and habit'...

The decision matrix of buying a ‘black box’ system looks much the same for Pascal’s Wager: If BlackBoxSystem vendor can deliver = unlimited wealth with fantastic change in life style If BlackBoxSystem vendor can deliver and you do not bet = misery (missed chance of a lifetime) If...

Monitor Acquisition Disorder (MAD Warning) Does someone you know seem MAD after trading all day with less than 3 screens? MAD begins by a reasonable desire to move from an old dirty, dim, and heavy CRT to an LCD... Then 2 more, smaller sometimes, one LCD on the left and another on the...

Maestro's posts have been reasonable, helpful, and interesting over a period of years. So who are you, mentisviator? Anyone can spam several threads as an anonymous poster. If the best hope you have of winning a legal action is through spaming multiple threads with an anonymous alias...

Having spent a lot of time in both the MFC/C++ and Java development and very productive in both languages. However, if I were starting at the beginning of a IB API project I would choose Python. Take a look at ProfitPy which is written in Python. This is a collection of Python tools that...

Rotation Factor as described by Dalton p.113 as In the example Dalton shows a day with 12 30 minute periods. Each auction as a 0,1 or -1 as a 'top value' and a 0, 1 or -1 as 'bottom value' The sum of all Top Values and Bottom Values = Overall Rotation Factor. Good luck...

Thanks a lot for the thread. The question was very simple (but not trivial). I was wondering if you had discovered anything that helped at the 'commit' decision price levels. Good trading next month! Please consider continuing to post as you move from paper trading to trading real...

Bolter, A remaining question on MP. If price is selling off and approaching LVA. What are you looking for to decide to exit your short position and go long, or add to your short position? Or, what, if anything, are you looking for to confirm that the price will stay within the VA or...

Any challenge to this could find enough 'prior art' to cloud this issue. Also, anyone interested in applying this approach could 'snowflake' the process with minor changes and be able to say, "our process is different, there is no overlap, because a, b, c, d". The differences could be minor...

Thank you for the great answers! One area of Market Profile that has remained unclear to me is trading the price 'between distributions'. How do you identify the trade when the price is breaking out from one distribution and returning to another earlier distribution or starting a new...

Hi bolter, The two most common ways to create a market profile are to: a. use volume * price to create a volume weighted MP b. use 'price alone' to create a distribution of the price data that is not volume weighted. Price distribution (not using volume) is easier to calculate and...

bolter, Thank you for the thread. Can a day have more than one POC UVA and LVA? For example two auction ranges, one early in the day and then the rest of the day.... Thanks again.

5. Do not open more than n number of contracts at the same time. Another note. All of these 'failsafes' are 'client based' you might consider 'broker based' failsafes as well. For example, I use IB's API and they will not open a new position if your account drops below $2000. So a...
