I've inquired about automating my trading system and have been pointed towards trade programmers for them to automate it for me. Although I appreciate the recommendations, is there not a user-friendly automation program out there that a regular trader could not utilize and punch in the...

Wait until your neighbor tells you to short the Dow or SP. Once the general public believe the market is dropping lower, then buy it up and chase that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Once the barber or the grocery store clerk has any bias in the market, I aggressively trade in the...

Primarily trade futures, ES (mini-SP), and ZB (30yr.tbonds), from a small community near Thunder Bay, Ontario

Are there any traders in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. that wish to form a trading group.

I did shut off esignal and other programs normally running to see if it worked any better. That didn't last long in todays market. i had a stop hit, the NJ girl told me abt the fills and the charts still showed abt a 5-6 pt lag, prob abt 20-30 seconds before the chart took out that high...

10-24-08 05:22 PM Using Ninjatrader-Zen . Had problems with it lagging. Beside my esignal it was behind regularly, 15-30 secs. But what confuses me is that when using charttrader, the orders would be filled and verbally acknowledged before either the chart or staticdom showed the price...

Hey Don, I will be in Vegas next week in search of the best BJ game in town. Good penetration, a trackable shuffle with resplits and DAS on any 2 is all i need. Any suggestions? In between hits I was hoping to check out your trading room in Vegas and wanted to know if I must make...

Good post. KISS

Thank you, I would never of been able to figure that out myself. Trading 400 contracts for 5 pts a day? wow, that is good math laddy. Geez, maybe I'll trade 2,000 cts for 1 pt instead. Can u lend me a couple bucks please? What should i use for a stop?

Here's my story. I'm a trader who ducked away from the markets for about 3 years due to personal reasons and time constraints. But now I'm back and in order to get in tune with the markets, researched, backtested some ideas and in result developed a system. I discussed my system with a...

1 es point per day? It don't seem like much. Sure you can increase # of contracts traded, but that is unrealistic as you also have to increase risk, and for what 1 point? I think I would rather risk less and make more then risk more and make less. Your risk - reward ratio would not make...

1/2 the daily range on a regular basis per contract?? if so, congrats. Now , hypothetically if you were forced to trade everyday, how many consecutive days could you achieve this on average, and how many would be your best. (just curious) Obtaining this profit per contract would...

I trade the sp futures and want to know what would you consider a good sp (or es) trader in terms of results. I was once told that if you can earn a minimum of ten points per contract, per day, for 20 consecutive days this would be a major achievement and a person could confidently land a...

try automated trading,, come up with a trading plan, backtest it, and then put in action

I know Bright Trading is in Vegas but are there any prop shops set up with the profit sharing and no margin deposit required. Thank you

What are some of the initial costs that can be expected for the training, licensing, and whatever else is necessary before becoming a Bright prop trader? Also. what time constraints can be expected. For training? and how long to become licensed and set up to trade. Basically what I am...

I would be impressed if a trader could consistently suck 20 pts per contract on a daily basis. This would be an outstanding feat. 50 pts per would be rare, and in my wildest dreams cannot picture attaining this consistently.

ANyone have any suggestions?? I've been eagerly contacting prop firms for the past 2 months and haven't accomplished anything. Here's my story....... I am in Canada residing in a very remote location, have abt 5 years trading experience in futures primarily daytrading the es, us, and zb...

My entire trading strategy was based on the 1st hour of the day. There is no need to determine which direction the market is going. Of course u will have a bias, however, ignoring that bias and just taking your signals with no bias is your best move. The most activity in the day happens in 1st...
