Yep, I love Gartleys and butterflies ever since I read about them in Pesavento's book. There's some good info at longorshort.com, too. This week has massively sucked for these patterns, though since I barely saw any. I've found that "clean" setups are highly reliable, ie. each leg of the...

Gollly gee whillikers, arba, you're so smart! I wish you had a subscription-based website where I could pay you thousands a month for your gems! --opm8

Heh, heh. I got even today. Big time. :) Of course I would've had my best point day ever if I'd gotten my fill at 818.25 just before the news hit. --opm8

Hmmm... Is there an implied direction or are you predicting volatility (ie, program buying/selling) at that time? --opm8

Well I hope I'm wrong on this one, Wally (no, I don't trade it, either). Looking at a YM chart for the past few weeks I can see that at least the volume has been more consistent unlike the daily U pattern of the ES. It's prolly worth looking more closely at (especially since I'm mad at the ES...

Why do you people bother? Trying to groom for a CNBC job or something? --opm8

Considering that the beloved ES has shown ridiculously low volume lately I can't see YM being anything close to tradable. --opm8

802.11 a and b are already "faster" than home users require. The majority of network traffic on a home LAN is bound to be websurfing. If you have the average cable modem connection you're getting a (theoretical) max download speed of 1.5 Mbps. What good is 54 Mbps then? Only if you're...

Yep, mine went down AGAIN today!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I am so tired of this crap. Whatever change they made in the past couple of weeks should be undone. Sometimes it takes several minutes just to log in with that annoying "Please wait" window. AAAARRRGGGHHH! If only I could get my...

ok, so knowing the problem with slippage, why not use limit orders? --opm8

Welcome to my ignore list. --opm8

You're welcome, Alice. I'm not sure where Sierrachart "gets off" calling these tick charts ( :) ) but that's how the program works. In the "What's New" section, as part of version 33 here's what they say about it: 33: Can set the minimum number of trades/ticks per bar to base bars on trades...

Alice, Sierrachart doesn't produce real tick charts. The tick bars in sierra contain a minimum of one minute of data so they'll be a little different from a true tick chart like in Ensign. --opm8

Excellent TA stuff here: "Technical Analysis from A to Z." http://www.equis.com/Education/TAAZ/ --opm8

The post that this link points to is definitely one of the most helpful things I've ever read on this forum. One other point I'd like to add that made a big difference in my trading (slightly off topic here) is to never give back more than 50% of my profits on a trade. ie. if I'm in a trade...

It's staggering how clueless these people are. Einstein was dead on about human stupidity being infinite. --opm8

If I were interpreting your chart I'd say that the little triangle breakout is meaningless. Wait until the price comes down to your lower trendline and try to catch the bounce for a tiny scalp (this is a dangerous trade, btw). My style of trading would have been to short the bounce off the...

How about a "vote for the member" button on a scale of one to ten. It will start out at a 5 and as people vote for someone the average gets displayed. Kind of like one of those AmIHotOrNot.com's. This quality of posts meter can then be put by the member's name when they post. And then...

Are any of you guys running the IQFeed through a proxy? I'm trying to get it to work through SocksCap and LoopholeServer but no luck... --opm8

Jester, I don't know Pesavento personally but I do work with a very successful trader who knew him at one time. I've read one of Pesavento's books and really like his setups. I'm thinking I should read the original 1935(?) book by (insert first name) Gartley himself. --opm8
