TNG-thanks for the compliment. I use Tradestation data and they define the "pre-market" as 0800-0930 am EST, so I'm not taking the first trade after midnite. The first print for ENER, using TS's definition of premarket was 34.54 x1, so somebody got real lucky as the next few prints took it...

I did, and so far so good. I measured the open gap at about 0.5%, well below the worry point of 5%+. However, I base it on premarket trades; using the regular open the gap was over 5%. Doug

I agree that a local builder has advantages. I learned the hard way that upgrading a box from a mass vendor can be a problem. In my case, I needed to upgrade memory and the hD. but because of the way the machine was built I could not add more memory and its power supply was minimal and could...

While you are not specific enough to properly answer, I think what you ask for is possible. What do you mean by "trading up"? Is that intraday or day over day, for example. Same for "increase volume"-by how much and is it intraday or day over day or something else. Are you comparing the...

I'm with you, I don't understand the obsession over the IRS. As long as money comes to the Fed. govt, there will be an IRS, maybe it will have a "kinder, gentler name", but sure as hell, it will be there. ONe thing the NST advocates don't mention is what bureaucracy will handle NST rebates...

mrpace, I use Tradestation and its data. Attached is my equivolume chart, 5000 share bars, for NGAS on 12/22. The bars turn green if LBDUV is exceeded. It includes premarket trades. It shows LBDUV broken about 9:30 AM CST just about the time the price peaked. I can see an entry here...

Could you post an example trading system of what you describe as I don't understand your comments. The part about "scoop out what each day..."; does that mean you think a system should capture all of each days range or is it that it should capture all perturbations in addition to the range? DS

I see it the way Dick Armey does and he is a very notable advocate of tax reform and has given reform of the tax code a lot more thought than any of us: by Dick Armey, former Congressman: " A sales tax is not an income tax. The case for a sales tax begins with one highly appealing...

Sure price should settle where the market deems proper. What's wrong with that? And it's not the Saudi's who act that way, it is all companies, national oil companies and the private/public companies that utilize the pricing mechanism of the open market. What is your point re. XOM? COP...

Back in the last energy shortage, in the 80s, I was involved in this type project; the economics were different but the reasons I suspect they won't get built are the same: 1. huge environmental hurdles taking years and lots of money to overcome, assuming they can be overcome. 2. lack of...

HR25 is not perfect, no law has ever been passed that is perfect as no one can define what is perfect, and no one can define what a "fair tax" is. The NST aka "fair tax" is poison to some and candy to others and whether it is a better more efficient means to collect taxes remains to be seen as...

Gooch, Ditto your list and mrpace thanks for the info on JMDT. Any thoughts on Tuesday's trading as today may have below normal volumes? Doug

Dan, Why did you close the ENER trade? Also, I looked over my universe and somehow KNDL was omitted, so thanks for pointing this out. I agree with your list, except KNDL, and I also have LIFC. DS

I was watching NGAS but did not get a signal. If my memory is still working, when it hit LBDUV it was starting to make a big move down and Stoch were below 50 and MACD was negative. However, I may have been away from the computer when duv was exceeded. As it went down quickly on that bar, I...

Mike, Thanks for sharing your insights and ideas with us. I'm finding them very helpful as I try to incorporate channels into my trading. Doug

Another problem is when someone checks out of a hospital after a major procedure and finds the IRS or whatever they will be known as as they ain't goin away, at their door asking where the 35+% tax (it's way higher than published by the fairtax.org folks) is. Imagine, you get out of the...

Clym/Mike, I've read some or maybe all the posts you suggested and I'm attaching my first attempt at a channel based on what I read. Please let me know how I screwed up. Thanks, Doug

Jack has posted in numerous places. Are these posts in Spyder's first journal or elsewhere? TIA, Doug

Clym/Mike I'm following your discussions re. the use of channels with interest. My question is, how do you draw the channel? Every time I've tried to draw channels and compare my work to someone elses, they are different. Doug
