Technical entry came in around 850am. Now there is finally some follow through in these divergences. I was getting tired of this #levelvslevel trading! lol

Where are all the spreaders at? Feel like im in here all by myself lol Oh well, I guess I'll keep these things for myself :)

Something to point out, that at least to me is very important. I trade spreads, so I am always looking at correlation and changes in correlation in the market. I've noticed that the sectors i look at are starting to have some orderly rotation. Correlations that began to unwind a couple weeks...

Yea happened earlier on the open. Knight capital was involved...curious to see how exchanges handle these trades

Wonder how they will sort this out though. Considering this algo prob spit out hundreds and millions of orders throughout those 30 odd minutes, it will be tough to break or adjust these trades! Either way, a firm like this should have risk controls in place for something like this!

If you can't control your algo, you deserve to lose money IMO.

The tape has been like this all month. After the vol got sucked out of this market end of June this was inevitable. Just a time to be smaller and more selective. Markets usually resolve themselves out of ranges one way or the other. It looks like higher with the way things are playing out in...

Your A and C levels should change as market volatility changes. I prefer to the use a 5 period average :)

Nice move in the IWM-DIA spread on friday . Even with the correlated squeeze we had in the indices finished near the highs of the day.

IWM-DIA spread getting punished as of late. In this sideways tape will be watching for some reversion to the mean :)

Good commentary guys. Here is one thing i've noticed...we have put in some nice chop in some of the sectors and indices in the last couple months. That type of action usually leads to a big break one way or the other. We won't be stuck in this choppy tape forever lol. Like you guys were...

I have found over the years the best and most consistent systems have a profit factor around ~2. Anything boasting the numbers you are showing breaks down in live trading. Maybe this is the one time that this simple rule doesn't apply. I doubt it tho ;)

You are not using stop market orders for losers? I doubt that is correct. In sim mode tradestation will fill you on a limit if you get a trade at that price. In real time you will usually need price to trade through your limit to get filled. Simulated testing is very misleading with intraday...

Are you factoring in slippage and commissions?

Have you read any of Mark Fisher's stuff? I use ACD as a framework for trading and I find it works great as a general framework for price action.

Your point based range break will not help you in becoming a consistent trader! The single biggest factor to success is screen time and actual trading experience. Its obvious that you don't have much of either. I'm willing to bet that I've prob logged 10x as many hours of trading and...

Your observation is hardly innovative and probably too complicated. How the hell do you make any of that analysis actionable?

Do you just like posting for the hell of it? Your posts are drivel, with almost no useful information for anyone. When i read the first couple threads you started I could tell that you didn't trade. Even if you do, definitely not fulltime or anything meaningful. Do you know how i can tell...

Yea big squeeze there today. My monthly a down is coming up at 31.2ish...Lets see if it can make it through there. I personally think it will be a gift that keeps on giving these next couple months. Reminds me of X, FCX last quarter...good legs to lean on short!

Ok I think this is the most interesting chart of the month. So the 30 year(ZB) recently made it up to the quarter and failed. I also had a very telling situation in the numberline there. I keep a numberline for tbt which is essentially the inverse ETF. The push in November to the highs and...
