... been wondering this for months: Make WHAT pretty? And is it "Chris" who's supposed to be making them pretty? Or are you Chris, urging us to make whatever pretty? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm not completely sure I have all of your parameters correct. It appears to me, for instance, from your examples as well as from my initial attempt to render your rules as a system, that actual short entries will have to be made after the FastK line has re-crossed 85 heading down. In...

What's the point of the EMA and the second stochastic?

When the student is ready, the master will appear.

It should come as no surprise that the vast majority of successful traders are mean, ugly, lonely, sexually dysfunctional creeps who wouldn't share their secrets even if they could. Part of the deal that they make with the Devil is that, in exchange for becoming successful as traders, they have...

Florida, Well this latest sounds a lot different from the alerts stuff earlier. I don't know what is or isn't possible and/or practical in real time with Excel and TS6. I do know that it's possible to export just about any info you want (including OHLC), but I've never looked into...

...you may be overestimating the difficulty of setting alerts for 100 stocks in TS6. Depending on how you like to use the alerts once you have them, it'd be fairly easy to set up, say, 25 workspaces with 4 charts each, or 12 or 13 with 8 or so each, etc. 1. Open a chart - setting the data...

came out a little garbled - but you know what I mean: where an AMEX specialist is active and present in and around the inside market... whatever... been a long day...

The interaction with AMEX and secondarily some weird interaction with SuperSOES both seem highly problematic, especially in fast markets. I have to do a little more research on the subject, but for the moment I'm avoiding ARCA, including all routing schemes that employ ARCA, especially in...

... on your needs and capacities... I'm satisfied, for my own approach, with the platforms current capacities - I do an end-of-day "scan" that consists of loading ca. 350 charts and outputting detailed results to Excel. For real-time purposes, I keep charts and/or quote pages open (with...

That's interesting - you mean you can use the Lind software but pay the TS commissions? Had no idea that was possible, if so - last I checked the Lind commissions weren't close to competitive with the lower rate brokers...

Making market "calls" is not part of my practice - I believe it's better for a daytrader not to have a strong market opinion - but one fact stands out from my weekend selection of trading candidates very obviously: Out of the approximately 350 Nasdaq stocks I looked at, around one third were at...

Regardless of my final p or l, I'll have a good week because I'll follow all of my trading rules. I'll not be posting any commentary on specific trades unless specifically requested to do so, though I will post trade gifs - with some new features, including the "hard stop" on each trade (a...

I can't believe it... encouraging words on ET! I thought they had been declared a TOU violation... I'm not sure I can quite agree with them, unfortunately, but I could be wrong - count me as agnostic, as I don't presume the ability to judge another human being on the basis of a few (or...

You find the fills and executions on the web-based platform adequate? Are you day-trading? Have you ever used other platforms? I use and like TS6 for equities - but haven't heard anything good about the futures capabilities - figured I'd wait for TS7 and promised full integration. To the...

... that I allowed to infect my performance was "collect a few small wins in order to get your confidence back." Getting the "small wins" on BLUD and CREE made me feel even worse. The other thing that happens when I adopt that policy is that I'll take some marginal set-up expecting to...
