Pardon me if someone has already posted this, I just skimmed through the last few pages of the thread, and didn't see anything about it... Does anyone care to comment on this possible bullish triangle formation?

yes, its true that this represents only a small portion of the total open interest, but can we not read it as a representative sample? I guess we would really need some information about the types of people that trade with Oanda to know what the sample is representative of...but unlike COT...

Hi Ivanovich, To which statistics are you referring? The data seems straightforward enough to me: http://fxtrade.oanda.com/resources/trastats/ratio_positions The left graph depicts the ratio of long positions to short positions, identifying whether customers are more long or more...

Has anyone tried using Oanda's Long-Short position ratios as a sentiment indicator? My thoughts are that it should be a great representative sample of what retail traders are thinking, and if we know they are usually wrong, it could be a strong contrarian indicator... does anyone have...

Hello, Just wondering if someone would care to enlighten me about using the T&S to hunt for clues about future price movements. Specifically, I'm interested in the significance of institutional 'block' trades. Are these detectable and or significant? What are some other...

Good evening everyone, 4re, just had a couple of questions regarding how you determine S/R. From what I have observed thus far, you do not select major S/R levels - you instead tend to favor minor S/R levels with very little noise between your entry and profit target. Is this an accurate...

hey 4re, yes, stop limit is definitley the way to go. prevents the horrible slippage that happens when you use a stop order. thanks for the advice, i will do some experimenting with the price levels that I use. i guess it is really a trade-off between fill price and certainty- some kind of...

thanks for the PM 4re, i was out of commission yesterday, which is too bad because it looked like an interesting one. i am keeping an eye on your ES levels. here are my levels for the YM for tomorrow. the shorting level is quite clear, but there are several levels which look like good...

Hey 4re, Yes, figured that out a while ago. It makes a great deal of sense once you give it some thought! Made a successful paper trade on the YM this morning. I am trading the DIA for real at the same time to keep things a little bit interesting- maybe that is something that newcomers to...

Hi 4re, Great thread. I have been catching up with it over the past few days and have really enjoyed what i've read. I first came across S/R working at a Prop firm before I knew anything at all about trading. Because of my inexperience I was unable to cut it at the firm, but I was able to...

Looking for the opinions of some experienced traders regarding trading backtested automated systems on stocks rather than leveraged commodity contracts. Almost all of the literature available on the subject of automated system trading refers to forex or commodity contracts. What is the...

Hi, Does anyone know how to get NYSE-AD charts to show up in Medved QuoteTracker using the IB data feed? thanks! -Ben

Hi, Am a relative forex newbie, and am wondering about IB's commission schedule vs. other brokerages. IB claims that they charge a commission on Forex trades because their spreads are so tight that you are in effect still saving money in spite of the commissions. Just wondering if any...

I am looking to purchase some intraday futures data to play around with, and ANfutures.com seem to have it cheap... I have a few newbie questions about doing this right... 1. Is continuous contract data suitable/appropriate for testing an intraday strategy? 2. How reliable is the tick...
