Wow! For some reason....TZOO reminds me of Krispy Kreme....when it really took off....hell....maybe the donuts have gotten to me. Are there a lot of "carbs"?....in TZOO....lol. Doubt that this will last....but I hope you are all enjoying the ride. Too bad I don't trade stocks anymore...

targus2000, It would be hard to find a book on scalping. I may start my own thread to talk about scalping. I have been scalping for many years....first Stocks....but then switched to Futures seveal years ago. I Scalp mostly....but will also trade a Trend....if I can. You can do a search...

hardyards, I made this up a few years ago. This is my opinion. I always heard about Key Reversal times....and to prove it to myself....for about 6 months....I recorded in Excel....what I thought were Reversals. I did this in one minute increments. This chart is in 5 minute increments. It...

Chagi, I was just looking at an updated chart...."wicked" up thru that horizontal line I drew. I don't like extremely long Candles or Bars. Usually when you see that happen....the next Candle or so....it pulls back hard. Not always....but more often than not. I think you were smart to...

nate, I use Candlesticks and draw the Trendline on the "Open" of a "pivot". I don't use the "high or low" of the candle. To me....the Open and Close are a more accurate indication of what is really happening in the Candle. I use "nearby pivots" and "major pivots". On an Up Trend....the...

Chagi, Great trade! I agree....it is always good to take profits. However....take a look at this chart. Just for reference. When a stock runs up this fast....I would be careful....it can come down just as fast....or faster. I don't trade stocks anymore....don't know anything about...

Looking for other traders in the Seattle area. Myself and a few other traders are putting together meetings to discuss trading. If you are interested....just PM me. VSTscalper

While I used the TICK for some time....you need to be very careful how you use it. The TICK is based on the NYSE and all its stocks. Many use it for the e-mini S&P 500 and the ER. The problem is....there are many more stocks in the NYSE....and while many in the S&P 500 are in the NYSE....this...

I added this chart to another thread where they are discussing the TICK. I haven't used the TICK or TRIN for many years now. I made this chart about 5 or 6 years ago. While I used the TICK for some time....you need to be very careful how you use it. The TICK is based on the NYSE and all...

pitbulltrader, Here is a chart...."Data Based Indicators for Trading"....showing the TICK....plus other indicators. I made this chart a long time ago....but I have not used it for many years now. While I believe the numbers are valid....this is my own opinion. Also....since the $TICK is...

whitster, I used to have a one minute chart for my short-term trends....and a 20 to 80 "tick" Tick chart for Scalping on the ES. I changed to strictly Tick charts a few years ago. Not that I don't really like Minute type charts....just that I like Tick charts much better. And now I trade...

Stephen, I don't use any of them....so I can't tell you. Maybe someone else can give you advice on Data Providers. VSTscalper

In case you didn't know....StreetSmartPro is based on Cybertrader....a company Schwab bought several years ago. I used Cybertrader years ago and really liked the platform. I use TradeStation for charting only....can't stand the Matrix. VSTscalper

Flashboy, You can hit "Alt" and "Print Screen"....if your keyboard has those buttons. Then go to Paint...."paste"....save it as a GIF or JPEG. VSTscalper

I trade using Tick Charts only....no minute charts. A 50 "tick"....Tick chart....is basically 50 "Transactions" per Candle or Bar....before it moves to the next Candle or Bar. In Futures....a "Transaction" can be 1 contract or 1000....more or less. Say you are using a 10 "tick"....Tick...

Really....you don't have to "wait and wait"....you would be surprised....how often this happens. It has to be a Minimum of a 2 to 1 spread. Usually I trade the ER on a 55 to 234 tick chart. I adjust....depending on the speed of the market. I first noticed it the ACV several years...

Ripley, This is the Accumulated Volume (ACV)....Depth of Market I mentioned in a reply to your PM. This is from 4-03-06....on the ER. You will notice the "Squares" on the Buy and Sell. This shows three charts....as the Market started moving down. Had to black out my account number...

FaderTrader, I actually agree with you. All I am trying to show is we can Scalp....when needed or follow a Trend when available. I love Scalping....but I would much rather get into a Trend like today. My Scalps....are Specific....not Arbitrary. But I know what you are saying....and you...

johnk49, The trading program I use now....allows me to set my Entry....Exit....Stop....all at once....before I enter the trade. I do the same thing....over and over. My stop starts at 20 ticks when I enter....it is my Disaster Stop....and since Hurricane Katrina....I call it my FEMA...

Here is the 234 tick chart....and my Exit...."Buy to Cover". What made me get out was the fact that it broke my Major Trendline....and my Indicator was starting to turn. You will very often see a Range develop after a long Trend. I did a couple of scalps early on....then caught quite a bit...
