    That's what I figured, thanks for the responses. Anyone know how good the T&S is from a Reuters feed? Ik

    Lazy Afternoon Trading -

    Both NYSE and Nasdaq, I'll take a trade on either market if it fits my criteria. Generally, however, most of my trades tend to be on the Nasdaq. And yep it can be scary, I'm comfortable with that risk though. Holding over night fits my methodology as a swing trader and I just had to accept...

    Lazy Afternoon Trading -

    Afternoons are great, it's a lot easier, at least for me, to get a clear direction of the market in the afternoon than it is in the usually frantic open. I initiate about 95% of my trades in the afternoon. Interestingly, I close about 95% of them in the morning. Ik

    How Stochastic value is used?

    If you insist...;) Going with the trend is great, unless there is no trend, then it's not so great. Bottom picking is hard, dangerous, and did I mention hard? It's also incredibly profitable if you do it right :) Ik

    Futures Crash Course

    Derivatives with Disk by Hull is probably the most comprehensive text out there. It's not an interesting read, it's a textbook. But anything you want to know will definitely be in there. It happens to be pretty math-oriented and if you have absolutely no experience then it might be overwhelming...

    Questions from a non-trader

    Oh, point withdrawn then if that is the case. Ditto to there being no magic chart. Ik

    Questions from a non-trader

    I'd have to respectfully disagree. I have no qualms with the book and system mention of your statement but the chart part isn't what I'd call accurate. What will make you money, then, if it isn't charts? Tape reading? If you want to take pennies out of the market tape reading is definitely the...

    Is May Tradeable?

    It really depends on what you trade as well. I trade mostly Nasdaq so the summer months' low (relatively-speaking) volatility doesn't bother me much. The stocks that I normally trade such as QCOM, QLGC, NVLS, KLAC, EMLX, and XLNX are still perfectly tradeable in the summer. The slight slowing of...

    The Better Book..

    If you're going to purchase the McMillan book I'd suggest "McMillan on Options" rather than "Options as a Strategic Investment." The former offers more on how to utilize specific techniques where as the latter is more general.

    Parallel Channels

    Thanks for your respone. Not really what I was looking for but interesting software. As to your question I've been told Tradestation can do automatic trendlines but just for trendlines -- Ramp looks nifty.

    Parallel Channels

    I know of several different software programs that can automatically draw trendlines. Does anyone know of any that can automatically draw parallel inclining and declining channels? If the answer to the above is yes, I'd like to take the question a step further and ask if anyone knows of any...

    Trading Ideas/Potential Trades

    So, anyone else notice the almost perfect (not entirely perfect form-wise due to a slightly lower low on Wed than the low on Tuesday) Bullish harami that formed on the daily NASDAQ chart that was confirmed today? Ik

    Dammm

    Okay, it looks like yesterday was pretty good to everyone, it was pretty good to me too. But what made it good for you? What made it easy for you? It seems like a lot of people were expecting a tank from the opening gap up and it happened. What indicators told you it was going to play out that...

    Sources - State of the art trading systems

    Dell often has very very good deals if you catch them at the right time. I got a P4 1.7 GHZ, 1 GB RDRAM, 72000 RPM 20 GB hard drive, workstation from them for a little over a grand. Had a Radeon dual-monitor video card as well. Monitor not included. I think this deal has since expired but I...

    PDAs

    Does anyone know where, if anywhere, I can obtain wireless streaming quotes on a Pocket PC PDA? I know Datek offers their Streamer in a wireless PDA version but they only support Palm PDAs, I'm looking for something that would work on Pocket PCs the likes of Ipaqs, Jornadas, etc. Anywhere at...
