They use 144 and 288 on the er2 and 333 and 750 for the es, but these are for systems that use indicators other then the LR line. They have backtested and currently profitable trade systems with the products listed above, just with different indicators for trade entry and exit. I think the...

See I think there is no real advantage also but who knows, maybe someone here has a good reason why they are working for them over a timeframe chart.

yes you make some good points

Oil back in the high $58 range and I am not at all surprised. Institutional trading holding up the equities markets and the Hedge's holding up the oil markets-----------the fight continues. Which one needs more volume to sustain--------------hahahaha

I have an new es system that I am testing out for intraday trading only, and I have had several traders that know of my strategy for this with a linear regression line that say I should use a tick chart. I am using a 3 minute chart at this time with a 25 period linear regression line, so I am...

abogdan has it right! The sum of all the squiggles is greater then a straight line so have systems that create profits from the noise------- use it as a means to profits.

If you want to check on oil futures go to nymex.com/Markets/market data/current data-----------then pick light sweet crude and look at the trading price. Just remember, there is a lot of money in the cash equities market here in the U.S. from Thursday on that may be parked here very...

Nitro--------- yes many futures brokers can do this. T4S---------- good point as the starting point for this method is very important. You could start this modified on any day but waiting to start right at the best price level is very important to getting off on the right track from the...

ssternlight--------- I have separate short and long accounts for my ratio trading that are cross-margined and separate short and long accounts for my linear regression line intraday trading that are cross-margined. At times I may move funds between the ratio trading accounts at the end of a...

LoosenUp-------- I trade this way for the ability to be neutral day after day and not having a "need" for the market to go one way or the other to be profitable. You do need multiple accounts that are cross-margined and starting this type of system is the crucial part. If you start this system...

That was suppose to be 72%/28% shorts to longs prior to the Thursday news selloff-----then at the end of Thursday I was at 81%/19% shorts to longs. At the lows of Thursday I was at one point sitting around 58%/42% shorts to longs with the big spike down. How this all played out Thursday would...

My trading is kind of high frequency in the futures with either a profit fill order or an new entry order every 1 point level in the es sp mini. No mater what price is doing in the es at each 1 point level I have short and long orders pending---------buy to covers, sell to covers, new long...

He is bullish due to the bullish hammer from yesterdays es daily chart------------ lol :D

Usually I have found that some of our best days are when we had actually nothing to do with it--------some event or news takes place and we just happened to be on the right side of the trade for that particular event.

Yesterday I was very busy in the early a.m. as my futures positions were triggering alarms at my home computer. I was a little over 70% short in the es and I was holding just under 30% longs in the es with the system I use. At the lows of the morning my ratio was down to about 58/32 shorts to...

jds------There was a lot of dumping initially as you say, but where the money went to is what happened during the run back up. After looking at all the different market volumes today during the selloff and then the move back up {European markets, Treasuries, U.S. main cash and futures markets}...

Yes Vulture you are on track with what I am doing for the most part-------------today at the early morning lows I was down to a 58% to 42% ratio on the shorts to longs as the one side was depleting and the other side was building. By the end of the day I was back to well over 70% for the shorts...

Futures are continuing up on risk aversion as primarily European stock invested monies were rotated over into the U.S. stock market as were many treasuries investors. Somewhat funny that today the U.S. stock market became "safety" for the day-------not sure how long this affect will last, maybe...

The ratio changes on a daily basis per the days given price action in relation to what type of signals or indicators you use to determine where you feel the market will go next. I use Fib levels on a daily chart to determine {from the previous highs and lows} how my ratio needs to change as...

Put/Call ratio for the SPX has worked great this week--------trends have held once there was a good shift in the ratio.
