Vs the NQ... Same exact patterns pretty much. NQ has been a little cleaner on these kind of timeframes recently though it appears. Not sure who had the balls to buy into close on a Friday, but if you did... Odds are you'll be rewarded.

On to a more medium timeframe cross comparison... ES First...

It isn't the indicators that are important. It's your understanding of the math once you actually program them from the ground up. Once you fully understand the math of how indicators work it will help you a lot more. I never really "got it" when it came to technical trading until I coded a LOT...

Look at my cross comparison of the ES and NQ... Both the same pattern basically, but the ES is generally cleaner. I use to use a composite of both the ES, NQ, and TF when trading on time charts to remove market noise. Not exactly possible with vol charts off the bat... I would have to...

LoL, I kind of noticed that before about the /NQ. I was actually planning on still keeping up my /ES charts to cross confirm in certain situations. Generally they trade pretty correlated most of the time, but sometimes they REALLY diverge.

I was just looking over charts and holy crap... Fills are so much easier on the NQ. No need to try hassle over getting fills within a couple ticks of the bottom like is required on the ES... More natural price movement and trending...

Sorry, nothing is for sale. I just hope to inspire people to code their own systems and work harder. ;) I do like to show off my cool charts too. I once sold a couple indicators to a hedge fund manager and a trader friend of mine a year and a half ago. A thousand a pop. Anyone with a...

AAAintheBeltway it's kind of a tricky thing to measure because it varies depending upon the overall market fear level. There are a couple ways to put it down into exact rules though. Here are my current time rules on daily-4d. The stronger the trend/momentumn is, the less time the market...

I just told you it. Trade setups have an expiration date. Figure out what that is for your system... Do backtesting! You should be able to increase your profits highly by using time stops to cut trades that are not running in your favor and only have actual stops as a backup for black swan...

Some people here know time rules even thought they don't even think of them as that. When say the market is pulling back on the daily chart... Everyone knows that we only have around a couple weeks at most to correct usually before the bulls come back. If the market doesn't fall much by a...

There are a zillion people chasing around indicators looking for the best signals and this and that... You can look at every price cyclic indicator in existence, and MACD and etc... Trade off RSI divergences, etc... And still lose. There is one little missing key which a lot of good traders...

Jeeze... I was just looking through the math on my candles and there was an error. I was using incorrect smoothing... Corrected it. I doubt anyone here could tell the difference. Thanks to FreakOfNature I was looking to see if I could improve my candles. I hadn't looked over my price band...

The reality is most people cannot see something which is right in front of their eyes because they have the wrong mindset. Like me... For the first year I was trading I thought technicals were BS and it was all an instinct game. Now I use mostly technicals and less and less instinct... I...

Mmmmph... Or just turn back on my micro-timing indicator. Somehow I forgot about it for a while... It's completely useless and just a distraction during trending markets... Low news uptrend days it's quite useful at finding bottoms within a couple ticks... I bet I am one of the few...

Price? What does that matter? Just kidding, lol... I get that a lot. Price is the white number at the right. The highs are located at the points at the top of the price band when the market is rising, and the lows are located at the bottom of the price band when it is falling. I measure...

The secret to trading is simple. Buy low, sell high, with trend... And keep on doing it. That's all there is to know. Multi-timeframe is nice because what is merely a bounce on a daily chart is a nice juicy long rally to trade on lower timeframes. Just follow the numbers, they tell you...

Step 3. Confirm with internals/tick average. Buy support, sell into resistance... Check mid timeframe technicals every ten minutes... Profit... Withdraw some money from futures account, goto bar, get drunk. This is a fun hobby! Ha... I'm mainly a programmer/developer. You don't need...

Step 2. Step down to a mid timeframe and find a spot to start doing long trades...

Step 1... Review the big picture. We are ending a weekly rally. Over the next couple months. We are starting a new daily rally which signaled a couple weeks back. It should end around early/mid may. Back to whipshaw... Wheee!!! I only use leading indicators/precision exact indicators. The...

Just curious if anyone here is trading Wednesday... I have a window of about two hours where I won't touch a trade. From Noon to 1:30PM... If Bernanke doesn't hint at some kind of QE this market is going to eat it... He better word things carefully!!! I don't trade around the big news...
