Btw dkm I really like your charts. Anyhow personally, in real time (simulated :)) I concluded both bar to bar and after debrief that 11:55 was continuation. I realize that is opposite of JW. imo, JW / mode are not absolute. There are still other mitigating / subtle factors. Also a "soc"...

Today's chart.

Today so far.

My wife and I live in Los Angeles, but are looking to buy a house. I'm a software manager (telecommuting), she is a Librarian. We're looking to move to Altanta or The Woodlands. She has family in Dallas, but there are tons of jobs for her in Houston, I have family in Atlanta, we like them...

I am using Tradestation at the moment. I like the fact that it has viable charting, backtesting, real-time data, historical data, and brokerage all in one. Also, you can use it on Saturday unlike IB. This makes it a compelling package for strategy development / simulations. As always there...

Thanks! Attached is my 08/19/2008 chart. I added my first attempt at laterals, but stopped annotating FTTs for the time being to focus purely on channels + gaussians.

Attaching file.

Hi everyone. Great discussion! I'm beginning to learn JH's methods, been lurking for quite a while. At this point I'm learning how to draw tapes, channels, and gaussians. Next up in my targets to spend time on is parallel movements, and then flaws. Since I haven't gotten to those...

I started live trading on a new strategy just a week or so before that move last August, I think that event happened during my 2nd trade so I was watching things very closely as it was a new setup. I remember looking at the charts mid-meek and my gut reaction was my data provider was having...

I'm with Cutten on this. I think it is more dangerous to increase money supply by double digits for many years than small increases in money supply. While a stable money policy admittedly would increase the short term risk of recession, it is in my opinion far riskier to increase money...

Personally I use IB's feed, along with DTN Market Access for historical data, with InvestorRT for charting. It works pretty well for my purposes and is Mac friendly. That said, I definately think there is a market out there for a single, reliable solution with a low price point, something...

Just wanted to say I agree with ProfLogic and Spydertrader that existing price (and volume) historical data can be used to profitably anticipate future price movements. By "historical" in some cases this can be as far back as seconds, I guess some people would call that present, so use whatever...

Let's say you find a valid pattern-- could be fundamental, technical, or other. This one is illegal but is great for illustrative purposes in this example (obviously I don't recommend it): The pattern is that for a particular small pink sheet company, the CEO posts on a private blog his...

A significant difference exists between randomly-generated price data and actual market price data. Just one of an almost limitless number of examples is look at the range of bars that occur immediately after a new High or Low of hour/day/week/year (this is true on virtually all liquid...

A 6-month update here for anyone interested: I started with a much smaller amount ($15k instead of $50k) and much later than I wanted to (official start of live trading was Aug 1st 2007 instead of 2nd Quarter 2007) for various reasons, the main one being just days before I was finally about...

I think for equity day trading there are some major advantages for going the prop route in many cases. Some of us fall into the category of doing longer-term futures/forex (no equities) trading (one trade a week for example). Assuming for various reasons one is unable or unwilling to day...

I see huge problems with the combination of the companies (though it may very well go through). The issues are a) culture b) technology, both of which are critical for a software company. In cultural terms, the companies have little love for each other. This isn't just a top management...

By disinflationary, the term usually just means neutral inflation (roughly around 0% price change give or take perhaps a few percent). An inflationary policy is more than that, deflationary is less than that. It is a subjective definition though. I personally tend to ignore the CPI...

Totally agree. The pricing by itself is largely meaningless. They could "price" oil in South African Rand for all it matters. The real implications here are if the oil producers shift their underlying cash and investment reserves from dollar-denominated assets to other assets; this is...

I have heard great things about Redsky's API and Genesis (equities) in terms of extremely fast and stable API with very low fees for professional traders. If you have an arbitrage or high-frequency trading system these might be good choices. For retail traders, IB's API is the only good...
