I'm leaning towards probably buying the course and I'm having moderate expectations, but I figure there's a good chance I'll pick up some new things I don't already know.

Hi, Good comments. Maybe I'm slow, but it's not quite clear to me whether you actually endorse 'order flow analysis' or you're actually saying it's not a worthwhile pursuit. Thanks.

Interesting comments. Just to be clear though. I'm not expecting a broker statement from this educator and have reasonable expectations. As long as I can pick up some basics and new insights to build on, I'm more than happy. From some reading on the internet I get the impression that this guy...

Well, I didn't say so either. I specifically said, "For the same reason, I'm skeptical towards volume...". Volume is prices actually traded (the past) while order flow/resting orders are potential prices traded. I assume the premise is that resting orders or movement/patterns on the DOM can...

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone have experience with this course and also comments on if this type of analysis is useful for a market such as the ES? http://www.nobsdaytrading.com/ I, myself, have avoided 'tape reading' on ES since I'm skeptical of it's value in this day and age. For the same...

How about this one?

NQ seems slower than ES today when looking at range? I'm seeing comments on how NQ is preferrable over ES lately. Personally, I chose the ES over the other two indexes and the ES is what I know. I never did an in depth comparative study of it, but I always had the impression that they both...

It's an old idea, really. You basically risk winning on small size and losing on large size. I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me. By all means, it wasn't a bad interview per se, it just didn't offer any special insights or anything new. I wouldn't expect so either, but the comments here made me...

To be fair, succeeding in trading isn't realistic for most people. See what I just wrote: "Sadly, it's not a progression most would be traders will ever achieve..."

Obviously, since you have to ask, it's not possible and far from it. The key for trading success is consistency with little to no drawdown, no withdrawing of money and scaling up as your account grows and eventually keeping size fixed at a 'high' number of contracts and risk reduced. That way...

With the risk of ending up like the bad guy - exactly what in this interview was very informative and had good info with regards to system development? I rarely read trading educational material anymore as I'm too engrossed in my own research and didn't plan on listening, but seeing all the...

SteveH, I don't know the HSI, but I know the CL and it sure offers more than ES on average. But YM or NQ - is there really much of a difference compared to ES? I admit that I have not made an in depth study and probably should, but to me, it seems like the stock index futures move similarly...

Well, I have earlier had a hunch that one of the problems with loading the data is that my tables are color coded using VBA and not using the native built-in formatting in Excel. This issue have been raised by me in the past and I even suggested removing formatting completely, but since I didn't...

I'm waiting for an improvement/upgrade. I have a hunch I won't be 100% satisfied, but hopefully enough that it's a solution I can live with for a while.

I received a fix which is a huge improvement, BUT, the load time is still between 7-15 seconds depending on which data set I load. 7, I can live with. 15 is a bit too long, IMO.

Appreciate your comment and suggestions. I might pass it forward to the coders if they should turn up blank on this. They did take my complaints seriously and are currently investigating it. As for now, their currenty explanation is that the application was developed with Excel 2013 which they...

The key is consistency and accumulating profits while increasing position size as your account grows. Initially, it may seem like you're going nowhere, but at a certain point in time your profits start accelerating and you're on your way to freedom. Don't lose money and stay consistently...

That's what I suspect. Thank you for confirming. Having been a 'nice' customer up until now, I made a complaint about this on Friday. Let's see what they answer... Correct. Basically, I have an application in C# which calculates various intraday statistics outside of Excel and store this in a...

With regards to integration with Excel. My current application loads data in Excel from an SQL database and Excel generally freezes and takes a long time to load my data (1500 rows x 50 columns or so). Is this a result of poor programming or to be expected using Excel...? I hope it's okay to...

Python does seem like a very good choice. To those of you recommending it. What would some resources to get started be? What are YOU currently doing with Python? I have a statistical application outputting data in spreadsheets (Excel) made by someone else. Would love to rebuild it on my own...
