Tripack - Oops, you're right. I'm typing "buy" when I'm thinking "sell". A SELL market order when the price is at 1100 would become a sell limit @ 1090.

Tripack - I think you've got the direction backwards. If you enter a market buy order, your intent is to buy now. So if the current price is 1100, then if the preprocessor applied a 10 point collar it would put your order through as a limit order at 1090. You'd want a market buy order to...

Volume is volume - it's as applicable to certain futures analytics/trading as it is to equities. But whether a given trader sees its validity or chooses to use it or it's applicable to the particular trader's timeframe or style is an individual thing like most of trading - just as in equity...

Those who use volume as part of their trading decisions will use the emini quotes because there's real volume data available. In addition, since Globex is electronic all the trade data is being transmitted and there are valid bid/ask sizes and depending on the broker some degree of market depth...

How complex a tool (and whether you need some programming experience) depends on how complicated the buy/sell logic is. Without necessarily being specific about parameters, what kind of studies, etc. and timeframes are you using (or want to use) to generate your buy/sells? That will help...

Good luck with the website. T&S for all the stocks is a lot of data to keep online for a free website. I've only seen it available from for-fee data providers like Qcharts, eSignal, etc.

My pseudonym from my hacker days.

Atlanta - don't know of anywhere on a website that makes that available. But I can get it from QCharts for you if you want. What stock and date are you looking for?

Who the hell do you think you are s***head? You came on to this board two weeks ago and almost immediately started spewing crap at different people while at the same time offering little or no added value or worthwhile commentary!!! Since you apparently have the opinion that no software is...

Ya know, a simple - "oops, made a mistake" from SteveT a number of posts ago would have been pretty easy, common courtesy, and all it would have taken. Unfortunately little Stevey apparently suffers from advanced rectal encapsulation of the cranium resulting in both contemptable and...

stevet - Maybe YOU should read the posts. If you had bothered to do so you would have noticed that I did NOT post the message you quoted. Before you start slinging b/s, accusations, and assinine commentary - maybe next time you could actually bother to know what the hell you're talking...

stevet - Maybe you should read the postings a little more carefully before you start blowing hot air. If you go back and read the posts clearly, you'll find that I didn't say anything about AIQ or Metastock. So before you overdose on your own self-rightousness and haphazardly flame or...

stevet - You must not have reviewed the info on Trade Prospector enough. TP has two parts - there's end of day software that has trade candidate identification and analysis features for helping traders using different trading styles find potential trading opportunities with equities and...

nkhoi - You have to be sure to indicate that you want a signal or confirmation for some studies like RSIV and you have to match the parameters on the various studies as well as the signal summarization parameters. I got the whole setup from TP, it's the one they show in the market update...

Here's an alternative chart for the ES for those not just trying to scalp them for a few ticks at a time. It's a 5 minute Trade Prospector buy/sell signal chart (you can also see the intraday SRs for today). This chart is geared more for intraday or multiday swing trading. You could no...

MarkCohen - In your example, the difference between Wade Cook and Budweiser is that Budweiser is only "suggesting" you could hook up with those hot babes. They're not claiming that Auggie Busch is getting laid by women like that because he drinks Bud (he probably is, but it's because he's...

Wow, Wade Cook indicted again?? Couldn't happen to a better guy. Talk about snake oil salesmen. But then again, they're only nailing Cook for $5 million. What about guys like Jeff Bezos and David Weatherall (sp?) - those guys are the ultimate snake oil salesmen and they're still walking...

Letstrade - if you're "trading" the QQQs, why are you worrying about hedging? Just trade them. And since the QQQs can be shorted on a downtick, there's no reason to setup a hedged position (a retail trader bullet alternative) to help with shorting. However, if you're taking longer term...

esc_trader - Metooxx is absolutely right. Options are not something to jump into without a complete understanding of them. BTW, the position you noted (stock @ 50, short the 40/35 call spread, and short the 40/35 put spread) is not a butterfly and will basically lock you into about a 5...

Your exits (i.e., stops) will depend partly on your timeframe and also whether you try to mitigate position risk by taking partial profits at some point (if you do that, you can generally use larger stops to give the price action sufficient room). Those on the swing trading timeframe, the...
