    40yo's new career or bust

    On the contrary, I gave him congratulations! My suggestion is to automate his 100% mechanical system. If it is truly 100% mechanical, then the automation should be a snap. After all that's why he is using a computer, right....to make things easier. If he wants to be bored sitting and...

    40yo's new career or bust

    Congratulations! You have developed a very good system and the results speak for themselves. It appears to be a 100% mechanical approach or close to it? The only problem I find in the system is the lack of trades. You plan to sit in front of your computer(or your wife) for 6+ hours...

    trading e- minis vs trading equities

    pits. In early 2000, the full sized S&P contract traded 107,000 contracts daily compared to the emini at 67,000. In July 2002, the full sized S&P contract traded 91,000, and the emini...... 375,000. I think the pit is nearly finished with the growth in the emini contracts. I do not...

    6.371 Double EMA???

    both a DEMA and TEMA! Yes, that's right, a double and triple exponential moving average in some indicators.....they do work well. Check the October 2002 "In phase with the Market" article in Active Trader. Lots of exponentials in there :)

    Finally a Winning Intraday System

    If your system does well in higher time frames, try it on daily data! If it is as good as you believe, then trading on the daily will allow you to trade it, make a profit, quit your job, and trade intraday, and become a professional trader with your system. Go to it, and very good luck!

    Why the delayed crash?

    essentially happened in July with the mutual fund people bailing out to the record tune of $50+ billion. That was the momentum low for this bear cycle. Now we have had the dead cat bounce with the momentum easing and a new price low in most if not all indices....the price low, following the...

    Missing the big picture

    I trade signals off the 1 minute, but always have the higher time frame trends in mind. I also watch the 5 minute and 30 minute with some simple moving averages. I even watch the E.Wave counts on the 5 and 30 minute time frames, but this is not as big a factor in my decision. Always try...

    Best Bang for the Buck

    I think your idea of using eSignal is a winner. I use eSignal and IB...the integration is not perfect yet, but they will get it soon. - Data vendor w/realtime & historical quotes - Charting - Backtesting in the works - Portfolio - Integrates with many software(ie Metastock,etc.)

    Premium additions to charting software

    Ah, you are referring to Advanced GET. I have the program, both in EOD and realtime. I have found the Ellipse, MOB and Cycles to be of use in forecasting the potential for the move. But alas, they are not for certain as any indicator is not. I would not use too many indictors or you will...
