No, it's the Goldilocks syndrome the market is in: Bad news is good news, good news is Great news.... so there is nothing to drop the market. Simple.

Frost - here is a crude implementation done for a different trading platform. It involves a piece of custom code and a purchased utility program: http://users.adelphia.net/~rlscott1/Trade_Station/Update_Monitor/Help.htm http://www.spartacom.com/products/winbeep_features.htm This will at least...

When markets go into "fast" mode, I've seen most of the data feeds either lag badly or crash. This includes ESignal, Quote.com, and Tradestation. I'm not positive, but I believe most of these data services rely upon Comstock, a wholesale datafeed vendor. If you are serious, then you need...

I'm in Bluestreak's camp and natch getting hammered past 3 months. Equity futures bounced impressively off morning lows....will they recover or is this just the first of a series of "dead cat" bounces. Stay tuned !

I wonder if ole Vic Neiderhoffer is shaking in his boots on the mention of the Thai Bot once again ? I am sure he is massively short S&P 500 put options....once again.

I did that 3 days ago and still no response.

If you mean lower, don't bet on it....we're still in "Goldie Locks" mode here.....bad news is good news, good news is great news. A low GDP would indicate a likely Fed rate cut.

When the BIG BEAR finally comes, Cramer's show will be off the air very quickly. He's been just riding a very lucky wave of liquidity for the past 18 months.

..and waiting...and waiting...and waiting... maybe Q2 2007 ?

Wow. Strangely, "Helicopter Ben" had criticized the Fed for dropping money from helicopters. Now, he's doing it himself ! We've got a massive sea of liquidity lifting the equity markets....and if it (M3) ever stops....well you know the rest of the story.

Listen-up. There is no question with the VIX at ALL-TIME LOWS, that eRL futures is where it's at....action-wise. For eRL futures, to say that today was "difficult" would be the understatement-of-the-century ! WOW...huge gap-up on the 8:30 "news", followed by a pullack, then a attempt at...

Exactly. I was amazed when my father-in-law came into my office this evening and picked-up my latest Trader Monthly magazine and was reading it. He was enamored with it. Of course, he should be. His own meager stock holdings, despite this roaring bull market, have only done so-so. I think he...

Although the instructional material in this thread is superb, unfortunately, due to a failure in TECHNOLOGY, it is very, very difficult (read: nearly impossible) to capture all of this thread into a single Word or PDF document. I tried once, and it failed. I contacted ET tech support, and they...

Exactly. That should be a huge "wake-up" call regarding the fundamental logic and premise. Again, I want to emphasize that intraday strategies are likely to be entirely different from EOD and longer term strats.

I asked when TS2000i was going to be supported. Please indicate the timeframe for delivering for this release.

eRL futures lagged today...very "telling". Last hour was bearish.....good only for the bears.

Less laws, less lawyers, less government administrators....and we're all better off. Can't watch TV at nite anymore without some show about law and order on. Wasn't the case in the 60's. Perry Mason was the only one.

Well, maybe he would have stayed "whole" by shorting the calls...abeit with much less profit potential :D An interesting point here is that IT and back office staff may NOT be getting their just rewards here compared to the M&A, IB's, and high profile traders at the large firms.

The system netted ONE TICK today in eRL ? This, after a mombo, straight-up trend in the morning ? Yes, it was fast, but STILL ! Granted, the afternoon was choppy up till 3:30, but then the floor fell out....but the market was showing it's (overbot) hand by then. Oh, I would definitely pull...

This is a great suggestion. In fact, Keith Fitschen in the "Developing Trading Systems" DVD mentions this as a critical step after the basic buy/sell logic has been established. I remember reading somewhere that system traders back in the 1999-2000 period had to filter-OUT high volatility...
