    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    For you maybe, but not for me! See page 24 on this thread - only trade the ES from 09:40 to 11:30 EST for one trade and maybe a second trade from 14:00 to 16:15. Right now, I'm tracking the first two hours of the DAX. BTW the notion that people can learn from a chat room is flawed...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    That may be true, but don't you wish it had been you doing it, honey darling? Why don't you PM Jack to see if he's free, or do you have to take a ticket and wait your turn :p

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    Nitro, don't take this the wrong way but of all the gurus on this board, am I right in thinking that you are the biggest chief of them all? The one with the biggest following and fan base? Over 3000 posts after all. I will humbly decline your invitation to prove myself. Why? firstly because I...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    Jack, as usual - what the hell are you talking about? Dunno whether you love or hate me! Thank god at least you spared us another full page of philosophy. But your "8K minus misses", assumes that I trade like a robot doing two $200 ES single contract trades a day. Except that's probably not...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    My problem is that I don't suffer fools gladly. Especially when they are leading people astray. Do you wanna make money or just waste time learning about 1 minute trading from a 21 year old who's been at it for 7 days and likes to admire Greenspan as his hero trader? If it's the former, then...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    Breakout, you wanna know what's sad about this? What's sad is that you would have to rely on someone else to trade my ass into the ground. What about YOU? Why don't you trade my ass into the gound? Could it be because you are a failed trader who likes to hang around and quote what he thinks...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    What utter nonsense. I guarantee you that none of these guys trade, or those that do: none make money. These VDU traders (what is that anyway: some sort of venereal disease?) are seriously messing up this thread with their total and utter jibberish. Tracking four indicators on a one minute...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    The Bollinger Bands are length 10, standard deviation 1.8. The moving average is actually an "Adaptive Moving Average" with length 11 and FastC of 5, SlowC of 5. Whatever the hell that all means! Truth is, I just plugged in the default indicators from my charting software SierraChart...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    With discretion: $150 - $200 away, or behind a recent pivot, or behind a very strong up bar as previously defined. I tend to move them quite quickly because I expect a strong up bar very soon after entry. If I don't get it, and the market seems faltering then I may scratch the trade. But I'll...

    how to manage false breakouts on NQ ES

    5 minutes all the way. I track all 4 main index markets side-by-side to watch for confirmation/nullifying signals. 4 main are ES, YM in the US, and DAX, ESTX50 on Eurex. I don't really bother with NQ since it rarely tells me anything that ES doesn't already show. Take a look at the...

    THERE IS SOME SHITE DISCUSSED HERE! I see that we've got the 2 tick newbies out in force alongside the academics who don't even trade. Exellent BS to waste your time. First off: trading Breakouts is the ONLY way to trade. All you buggers looking for the pullback are wasting your time. You...

    Windows XP: Home or Pro?

    Which version do fellow traders use most? Any reason why Home would NOT be a good solution when using the PC with trading applications and internet software?

    Which flat-panel to buy?

    The best video cards for traders (looking at 2D 99% of the time) are Matrox. If you go with the Samsung 191T - excellent choice. I've got the 181T and it's great. I currently use the Matrox G550 but if I were you I would not buy this card because only one output is digital. In just a couple...

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    I too looked at all the reviews and saw a few in-store. I ending up buying the Samsung 181T (18 inch, before the 19 inch 191T came out). I have an Acer LCD sitting next to it and the Samsung blows it away in terms of clarity. It's absolutely fantastic. Samsung make various models. Stick...

    Oh please, let's hope the Iraqi information minister keeps up those presss conferences for a longer - you can't turn the channel off him! In the midst of war, one needs a little comic entertainment - and he's the best! :p
