    Hi Spyder - thanks for pulling this out for us. snip: "This means the natural offset of the index is greater than the value of the cash." To be honest, I've yet to give our latest tool a close inspection, as I don't feel ready for it, but that's neither here nor there. I am confused about...

    Trading is simple

    Interesting choice of words - defense?? I thought I had just thrown up the white flag - hahaha. But I didn't wanna just leave ya without trying to offer some friendly advice. However, that apparently just brought us back full circle to the idea of close-mindedness. Oh, never mind - you'll just...

    Trading is simple

    I guess ya got me there, bro - heheh! Too bad a life devoid of humor can be such a solemn existence! And before I scurry off to lick my wounds (from the battles of oneupmanship :) ) , may I impart a bit of aged wisdom: don't take yourself too seriously - life is far too short! (And I'm thinkin'...

    I Need More Accountability - Sim P/L

    Thank you, sir. Yep, playing the IB/ Bracket Trader video games :D I've live traded the ER2 enough to realize early on that I wasn't ready for that game. Talk about needing to be nimble on your feet ... :)

    Heheh - I think, perhaps, you might have overlooked a couple ideas in my journal. Sometimes a simple reread can help drive home the more salient points. A few of those being: - although I have been at this game for a good many years (off and on, that is), trying every combination of canned...

    I Need More Accountability - Sim P/L

    Not much to say (as usual :) ) Found the session to be quite laborious. Still inept at nailing down the major pt 3's, and if I enter late, then seems I end up staring at red, and have to manage my way out of yet another trade. Heading out in the a.m. for the weekend, so no more trading this...

    I Need More Accountability - Sim P/L

    jtnet and Jander - thanks for droppin by. Your questions are kinda related, so hopefully a single reply will suffice. Yes, the goal of SCT is 'always in' - however, that is attained by those who reach the expert level of applying the methodology. At my level (struggling beginner :) ) hitting...

    I Need More Accountability - Sim P/L

    Yes - I've tried to clearly state earlier that I am 'paying the spread' with these trades. I will also state that I will occasionally place a limit order 10-15 min ahead of time when my desired entry is determined by a confluence of conditions (channel lines, pivot points, sma's, etc) For...

    Yes - BT provides for just about any type of order entry. Stop ... limit ... stop w/ limit (not for sure on this one - have never used it) Buy @ask, @bid, @ last price ... Sell @bid, @ask, @ last price ...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    Guess it depends on what resolution you are monitoring. No change (i.e., continuation) in the forest, while seeing change in the tree. That leads me to ask: if one is trading at tree level, would he act on a BO after a single bar closes outside the tape RTL? Or, is that too late, as he should...
