BoyBrutus, I recommend you try using range bars on the ER as it takes the time jellywobbles out of your indicator setups. Have you tried cci for divergences? cci tends to be a lead indicator and you'll find lots on Woodies site. I use Woodies settings for cci and there's lots of free info on...

Hi BoyBrutus. I do use volume but more in a Wyckoff style that I have developed. I never look at bid and ask depth as that can be false and anyhow, I make the decision based on the fact that I think the price will move in my direction. If you look at time and sales you will see what volume is...

Imagine, in 1986 I paid a guy $10,000 to teach me Gann trading. As far as indicators are concerned, it really was a matter of trial and error and making my own adjustments.

panzerman, sorry I can't help with options but I do day trade using TA. The signals have to be current, not historic. I don't have a clue how to predict the future from the past.

As time permits, I'll look at the biggest bug-bearers and see if I can help with some solutions. I'm a day trader and like the Russell and Euro best.

The starting point is intense investigation with a focus on turning points, ie exactly why and where do prices turn and how do they indicate their intention - regardless of the timeframe. It's a hunger, a thirst, that is shown when a post like this is started and the one who asks the question...

I've used Norton, McAfee and AVG. I like AVG cause it's free and does a great job. Only problem is it can hog system resources. I came across Avira Antivir and it's also free. Gets exvellent reviews but here's the sweet spot for traders - it doesn't hog system resources. I can run a scan...

Nzbryand, the market keeps changing. What worked for a time starts to underperform and then suffers prolonged drawdowns. I found out that the best way to control risk and achieve best performance was to work on signals below the 1 minute timeframe and try to roll it on to a bigger timeframe...

lol Kiwi - but you're right

I think what the guys are trying to tell you is that you don't really grasp how the market works. Better try asking another question that can start you on your own firewalk. You are gonna get burned baby - that's the law of the markets - it's how ya learn. My advice is when you think you got a...

Hempster, WTG!

273, agreed CME is great, and marketspace is CME/Reuters. I think when it comes it will prove a huge hit. The emini lacks big liquidity, and I think this will be THE answer.

Go for it 74. I and a friend were about to open accounts with FXCM until we read some posts here. With marketspace coming early nerxt year hopefully it will kill off this kind of crap.

Before I was a trader I was a pro gambler on horses. I read the betting theories and lifestyles of 6 of the best gamblers ever, and the 3 things thay all had in common was... 1) They thought their way was the best if not the only way to win. 2)They all described idiotic ways to gamble that...
