NihabaAshi, Thanks for the nice reply. I was thinking I was a bit harsh about your charts. Certainly I don't think the way charts "look" is the key to success :) And everyone has their own preferences for their chart layouts. I guess it's just what you end up being comfortable with. I...

NihabaAshi, I appreciate your fine information about trading with candles. It's helped me quite a bit. But I gotta ask why, and even how you can look at candlestick charts of such poor quality with candles on top of each other? It's hard to see where one candle starts and another begins. I...

Based on one contract? If so, wow, and wow. Would you trade a range like yesterday and get that many points, using shorter timeframes ( like 1m or 3m) or the typical 5m time frames, or a combo? thanks, jd

Very nice. To do that with today's range..... you are da man :) jd

There hasn't been 5.5 points down from the high today on the ES. jd

I'm assuming that's from a buy yesterday? If so, do you hold stuff overnight frequently? It would scare me no end to do that. jd

InvestorRT by Linnsoft is great. They make both a Windows and Mac OSX version. This is a great little company the responds to your concerns and requests. It's very stable. You have a few choices of data services on the Mac side. It's not the most inexpensive thing out there, but it's solid. And...

Gotcha. Pivots are just more pieces to the puzzle. thanks, jd

Funky, When you talk about watching what the market does when a pivot fails, I'm not sure I understand what a pivot failure is by your def. For that matter, what would be a pivot success ? I printed out the last 20 days of ES on five minute charts because in this case, I wanted to be able...

Breakout, Thanks for the info, but curiously, my final numbers for today's ES are different from yours. I've got: Hi 1034.00 Lo 1023.50 Cl 1029.00 So I looked at the numbers from the entire ES trading time (including the overnight) and now I see your numbers, but if you use...

Funky, Don't care about your charts. That's your call either way. You are teaching me quite a bit as it is. Thanks for that. But could you post today's (used today) pivot numbers so I can see if my software is doing it correctly. Or at least look at these and tell me. Mine were: s2...

I think my software may be plotting the numbers wrong or we are looking at different things. Are you talking about the ES today, Thursday? Could you and Funky look at your numbers and see if these are the same: s2 1021.38 s1 1026.50 p 1031.62 r1 1036.75 r2 1041.88...

Not sure about the Windows version, but on my Mac it works like this: go to the prefs and click advanced, then you'll see an iTunes Music Folder location box. Hit change, and it should take you to your drives and you can set it to wherever you want. Until I go see what my Windows buddies...

:) :) now you guys have gone and got me confused. What book is "the first" and which is "the second" and then you throw in Dr. Elder (I'm assuming you mean Trading for a Living) is this the second or third or..... And which one, the first, whichever one that is, defines the cure and which one...

oh, and thankyou Funky and Mr. Subliminal too :) jd

I went to B&N and bought the book. Even though I can literally SEE Amazon's building from my place in Seattle :) I wanted to start reading it right away and not wait a week for delivery. I'm already three chapters in and I have to say a big thankyou to hypostomus. Douglas has nailed me and...

Thanks Hawker. Your input is welcomed this Sunday morning in rainy Seattle. More to think about, more to study. jd

I checked the ET book reviews and the book you suggest isn't even listed. Is this not a big deal book for most traders like you suggest or can I just not find the reviews? I appreciate your high regard for it however. jd
