"Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas

Risk management helped to turn everything around. :p

Vertical up ... then vertical down.

It seems more like time to take some profits after a nice rally. These rallies have become short-lived.

Makes you wonder how many tape readers are out there. It seems that in this world of computers and technical analysis most traders are computer trading experts. I wonder how many people trade base on reading the tape? :cool:

Not only newer traders. I watch price and price relationships mostly. When I use an indicator I only use three. :)

I don't think so. Look out because some of them could be coming out of hibernation soon. :cool:

There is no advantage in that strategy yet, because of the lack of liquidity in SSF's.

You would have to derive the formulas yourself stock by stock, index by index.

If the machine is running hard for that long, there are some software issues. Normally the activity of the computer should correspond to the activity of the market. When the market is active and volatile your machine may get as high as 50 percent, not much more. But when the market is...

When I have researched dual processor machines all of the findings point out the fact that the second processor only adds 10 - 30 percent of improvement. Therefore I think that percentage improvement is not worth the doubled price.

One idea would be to begin trading DIA or QQQ to get used to how they move. When you buy, don't use margin. Use cash and hedge the position with SSF.:cool:

I can see how one can get that many just with options and option stratgies.

There isn't much trading software that is written in for dual processors computers. Highly complicated analysis leads to complicated trading theories, which leads to bad trading. Keep it simple. Sure do all of the complicated analysis you want ... in the end the only thing that makes a...

That's cool. Keep up the good work. It looks like you've got something there.:)

Keep that strategy up and you'll be whipsawed to death. Is a short or not? If so, then get short. If you're stopped out ... then, oh well ... :p

How is it that you had not one but two nice setups but managed to get only 2pts out of the deal. According to your attached chart I see at least 3pts on the first rocket and five points on the second rocket signals. Fill me in dude? :confused:

Just like I said Monday morning before the market opened ... Buy, Buy, Buy !

Why not have a separate computer designated for processor intensive functions? If you as a trader know that you need to do complex simulations or extensive number crunching; why not dedicate one computer to handle those tasks while you otherwise keep other trading operations, charting software...

Are there any users of ILX that would comment on the reliability and some of the best features of the software? Thanks.
