I am not looking for a charting platform.. what I want is a charting package that gives entry and exit signals, also referred to as Expert Advisers... like an algo but I am pushing the buttons

I am looking for something like Trendline Trader by Les Sxhwartz (which has alot of mixed reviews) or Track N Trade (great but very expensive). I am not looking for a full Algo system. More like a simplified charting package to assist me in entry points and stops. I just finished a month...

update... all three of my swing trades are doing great. ES up 60 points, YM up 600 points , NQ up 130 points. So SO much better than the crazy day trading. I have my stops in place.

Can anyone help me out. I am playing around with Relative Volume as a "go" "no-go" indicator for trades. I cannot figure out the difference between a Red , Green or Blue bar on the output. I am using Sierra charts

I know I would need to consult s securities attorney and i would. What is the legality of someone handing me finds and I trade. Or, like a prop firm, they setup an account and I execute the trades. I believe there is a small limit on how many investors you can trade for without being...

OMG... I haven't even touched on the commission issue... uhh let's see... I have gone from an average of at least 5 round trips per day (that's approx $5600 per year / per contract traded) to now one or 2 per month (about $108 / per contract / per year)

FINALLY ... a Swing trade on NQ (my preferred contract) setup for me.... Long at today's close 7432 after closing my last trade on 08/15... got my close above MA10 on the daily... Man swing trading takes some patience..

Thank you everyone for your input. I guess we all just have to try to find our way. As someone already mentioned this extremely challenging to not watch the minute by minute movements now that I’ve become a swing trainer. I guess old habits die hard. And waking up in an overnight to see what’s...

I hear ya... all I can say is thank God I was willing to look at longer term trading before I lost my mind and all of my money. Not even sure how I got to this point and this decision

As I wrote before ,,, I switched to Swing trading about 60 days ago after a long and very exhausting battle to day trade index futures that lasted for many years. So, here's a new development. I have executed 2 open and closed longs for NQ and done well (one for 183 pts. and one for break...

VOLUME: is anyone using a volume threshold for entry decisions on NQ Mini Futures? I am using a rate of 5000 CT's per 5 minute bar..this keeps me out of trades that go nowhere..

that is REALLY REALLY good advice... I need some kind of rule like that as well..

Does anyone have a reliable indicator to use that will help me to avoid trades during choppy price action? Specifically I trade the Index futures.

yes ,, that would work. I am not comfortable with the arrangement. You pay to enter the program and have your trades monitored and assessed. And, end the end, there is certainly no guarantee to be funded.

Who is using this indicator? It is very interesting. It gives a level for stops of either long or short as I have circled on my chart from Sierra... If you are using it,, how so please ?

yup.... makes me a little mad that I took so many damm years to figure that out

Is anyone aware of other Prop firms than Earn 2 Trade. I cannot make my strategy work with them, because they demand one trade per week be executed. thank you in advance

UPDATE- I entered NQ on 08/02 @ 7374 and I am out at 7374 today with the close that breached both the 10day and 20day moving averages, 13 days later. Now comes the hard part... being patient to wait for the next setup. This year it has taken as few as 2-4 trading days... to as long as...

and by the way.. there is no info for Nasdaq, which is what my post is about. I do not believe any longer that the different indexes are so tied to each other as I previously thought.

I guess it is not really a "new" strategy for me.. but trading off Break outs Long or Short, using 3 Moving averages for confirmation. The biggest winning move, was to go to multi day holds and use the daily/4 hr charts instead of 3,5,10 minute charts
