this just has to be the lamest strategy I have ever seen. How do these fools afford a website?????????? oh...yeah...commissions have a very merry festivus pairs traders!!!!!

Is there even one prop firm left in Washington DC?

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do all of you use minute charts???? what if you get a big spike during one of those? with tick or volume charts you can see how that really looks.

I never said I expected that....just said thats what the results were on one alert. These are the results for the last week or so....89% 137 pts on ER2.

When I ran an alert on ensign.....that admittedly had the benefit of hindsight, the win rate was about 95% and made 170 ER2 points per week on average. You would think....with the tweaks I have made, that you could get half of that in live trading. Mschey I have never seen or heard of...

I have an excellent method that I have been working on for years. I know it works and have seen it hld up in all market conditions. This method is very accurate. Here is where I will get flamed on ET. I have not been hugely profitable due to trading with scared money on a small account. I...

I shorted this knowing I had to exit today and was right to do that because mkt has now bounced up to 143.35. My indicators also tell me well in advance when a potential area of support....actually will be support. In this case.....along with my belief that we will float into...

Dont you think it is hard to set an arbitary target not based on previous highs and lows established by the market? For example.....I shorted SPY futures at about 143.55 with the previous low being 143.10.......when the mkt got to 143.15, ie just above the previous low, and my bollinger...

Actuually I trade by comparing depth of market participation cycles. I use ticks but the chart that is closest to the daily is just not ready to turn yet. The way this method works is when one timeframe runs out of buyers, it is vulnerable to the sellers on the faster time frames. My daily...

that trade does seem a bit early.....although the ym could crash at any time. These are the trades that frustrate me.....its floating and ready to come down.....mkt could easily gap down tomorrow morning. I shorted spy earlier and had to exit due to margin restrictions......id say we float...

Does anyone even read the end of a sentence that starts with "guy on CNBC said"???????????

Why would a doctor engage in preventative medicine when it will cause them to lose a patient? Those ghouls couldnt be happier than to see a epidemic of heart disease. The way to solve the prblem is to put all doctors in jail. Allow them to see patients from their prison cell and release the...

Why cant we just grind down the way we grinded up? Everyone seems so obsessed with the huge and sudden drops that the trend that I believe has started now....may elude them after all of this settles down.

The pattern daytrading rules apply to options as well. You can get around that by trading single stock futures, you should have enough margin to do that.

Says Lassus: "It's never too late for someone to make their first move in the market, but they should watch out for 'first cruise syndrome,' where a person who gets seasick on their first cruise never wants to go again. They need to understand that a few rough waves do not mean they have to...

I have a method that is very good at predicting precise entries. My problem is that I am not doing a good job of exitting the trades. I bought a SPY 144 put about a week ago and it barely moved even though I was as much as 100 ticks in the money so I got out yesterday. We all see what Is...

Actually....I figured it out. The options trader on IB allows you to create an options chain which then allows you to create a spreadshet with all the greeks for any given expiration month....very helpful.

Ok thats a start.... I am currently long 1 SPY 144 Put with a Delta of -0.3589. I am down about 10 cents having paid 0.95 and the trade is about 80 ticks in my favor. How can I scan for the most favorable delta? I am using Interactive Brokers and they do not seem to have a way to scan...

I dont have anywhere near enough money to trade the underlying. My biggest loser has been 50 cents and most losers are in the 10-20 cent range and rarely even that. I think in my last 20 trades ....I have had 10 winners...6 essentially flat trades and four small losers. Most of the time...
