hi - can you pls specify which part of TA calls for a mandatory correction of over 1 day? i have not run the numbers on avg range on the day before nfp - perhaps the easiest thing to see if they are narrow range days is to eyeball the last few months at least... (or run the numbers if you...

p.s. just lifted this off the deutsche boerse website - i guess L-dax is a separate quote stream - don't know how the software vendors handle it. DAX measures the performance of the Prime Standard’s 30 largest German companies in terms of order book volume and market capitalization. The...

xetra closes at 1730 frankfurt time and the floor closes at 2000 - since xetra does 75%+ of the total volume in shares, its closing is like the nyse closing - i would guess the floor trading after the xetra closing is similar to the ECN trading after the nyse closing... - so using the 1730...

p.s. is this the person who had a quote monitor in his apartment's bathroom? always liked that image from the Wizards. :)

sorry folks - did you miss the description at the top - The investment objective of this program is to generate consistent and relatively low-risk capital appreciation with minimal monthly return variance look at these drawdowns - max drawdown is 2% (barely, more like 1% most of the time)...

hi David - thanks for discussing your approach, it is interesting to learn what you do and it makes sense - looking at the action in the euro post-fed minutes today, it seems that if it breaks back through this resistance, there may be a bit of a reversal move in it and in the dollar index in...

hi David - interesting journal - what is a "bullet"? (not sure if it's an "ignorant" question, but i have not heard this term before...) it seems you have a core position and then trade around it - would you be able to describe your strategy a bit, at least in general terms - thanks very...

hi W.B. - yes, i will try not to over-use your welcome by pestering with questions.. - thx for the feedback, this is helping me a lot in my work. i think one of my questions was not clear: i assume this means you bought puts - i am trying to understand why do this rather than, for example...

hi W.B. - what a nice cover on the longs, on the gap - i find your comments very insightful, i am looking forward to following your trades - i have a couple of more questions 1. around what levels are your stops for the current small short position in the futures 2. what sources do you use...

looking at the end of the year for the last three years - seems to be range bound into jan/feb timeframe - is that "seasonal" ?

W.B. - thanks for the detailed answers - your point about people doing things consistently at a certain time makes sense, it is very interesting how you have been able to reach a high degree of precision in identifying these points on an up to the minute basis. i look forward to following...

hi W.B. - i have enjoyed reading through your posts in this thread - i have a couple of questions: 1. the long trade off the October lows has been an excellent trade, the timing was very precise too. 2. the timing for the scalp trade (from your post below) worked very well too - can you...

steve - would you point out a day as an example from the recent past - thx in advance.

jimrockford - thanks for your contributions: IB's web site says "periodically" - did they tell you directly this means every night? what is the source/basis for this information?

what is the source and cost? thx.

sounds like an interesting approach - do you mean you measure greed and panic separately or you refer to them together as an indicator of intensity / pressure - i could see greed and fear more in the pound for example yesterday but not so much in the euro from yesterday.

thx harris - i am always thinking about ways to improve my mechanical defitions of short-term direction... - all the best with your trading.

harris - i have read that your trading is automated - i am wondering if the directional commentaries which you make at the beginning of the day (beg. of the u.s. trading hours) are based on a mechanical system or it sounds like perhaps you deternine the direction discretionarily and then trade...

ok, just wanted to double-check my numbers too, thx :cool:

i have dec 30 '04 close at 4256 - more like up 20% YTD - using DTN's data... - what is your source?
