It's easy to say...."get a mentor", however finding a good mentor is a near impossibility for most newbie traders. The only "mentors" floating around are scam artists repackaging other "mentors" intellectual property. For a self-taught newbie, it's advisable to start with as little as...

There were several threads that had IB personnel like Def pretty much state that you trade pit traded futures contracts through IB at your own risk, because once the order hits the floor it's out of their control what price you get filled unless it's a limit order. He did'nt go all out and say...

The problem with pikers who live in dreamland is they'll never wake up to reality, Dan Zangers trading style is something pikers who frequent this board can make real money with. Unlike the rest of the mentions who made most of their money by collecting fees on their funds. It's mathematically...

Profturf is none other than the indomitable trading master Victor Niederhoffer himself. His website should be on the daily reading list of all traders.

Hey Maestro Good to see you back. Hoping your health is back? Here's a toast to ya bud.

After reading up on Mark Cooks material I studied TICK and TIKI for months on my own and now use various variations extensively in my intraday trading. There is a definite "edge" there. For those who keep on attending expensive seminars and still keep on losing, the problem is yourself. Maybe...

I think rubberbird will be correct again, he has'nt been wrong so far. The bigger question is where will the SnP end at the end of Feb? I say 1254. What says the bird?

Nice clean charts. Did you take this trade? Can this be automated using Amibroker using IB?

The gap up caught a lot of shorts with their pants down. I covered my position in the overnite session, tried going short again at 10950 towards the end of the day and got killed. Looks like we'll have another tough year ahead.

I think MRC will be weak again today. The GOOG effect and a weak Nikkei will weigh heavily in the overnite session. I short yesterday and added to the position today. If I see strength in the Nik225 I will proceed to cover 1/2 my position. Currently heavily biased to the short side. Since I...

Inverted H&S or a massive double top? Treading lightly. We should know by April.

Joe that entry was in a reply I made to another poster week ago. I should have added the post date since ET does'nt do it automatically. I recall the buy was on a midnight dip during a drop in the Nik 225. I sold in the high 80's the next morning. Post on entry was made on 01-18-06 02:33...

Prior Support now Resistance. Note this chart was originally posted on 1/6/2006 and makes use of no indicators. This is a real-time exercise on how observing intra-day price action can be used to derive predictive analysis.

Maybe the generals are too old and about to die and the soldiers are being promoted?

I tried trading the ES, but the edge that I have on the YM does'nt seem to exist in the ES. I actually think the YM has the best edge for intraday trading for the US markets. I also trade the Nik225 and the DAX. between the 3 I'd say the Nik225 is my preferred market. High payout and large...

ok the above is what I use. Below is the one you posted. I added notations. Sorry for mangling the post, dont have a clue how to post multiple attachments.

Take a look at these and see if anything "clicks". Your chart ( I cut it up a little) , and what I use below. More an art than a science. *Have* to use the tape and look at the tape setup and price support/resistance. Definitely not for newbies.
