You are referring to the OB vs L2 out-of-sync problem, bad fills/non-posting orders, or to what? If you're NOT having problems with the Order Bar or L2, are you daytrading Nasdaq stocks? Are you using L2 in conjunction with the TS6 Order Bar? Are you watching closely? If the answers to...

These inside market problems are really infuriating me - it's every day, virtually every stock, Order Bar and L2 confusingly out of sync. It's also not clear to me how and if and when my own orders are being posted: I rarely see them posting to the L2 montage, even when they remain unfilled...

Y'know, nitro, ol' bean, I've studied different TA techniques and trading methodologies, and I've read a lot of anti-TA stuff, too. I've done a ton of system development and testing, and just about destroyed myself and my account trading a system that looked just great on paper and in theory...

may have been the most interesting or most tradable move of the day . After the breakdown of that agonizing all-day range failed to extend, apparently catching strong support established over the course of weeks, short-covering appeared to get "out of control," and enabled a breakout from the...

Not a big deal... A somewhat marginal set-up in that it was shorting a breakdown into possible support, but very much worth taking in my opinion because, a) the consolidation at LOD was also at previous day's low, b) the larger market was trending conspicuously weakly at the time, c) there...

...but some interesting ideas possibly for the future. It's easy to get out of the habit of these gap fades when a couple days pass by without offering any. DIAN yesterday was a different deal entirely - a "flashback" into a gap fill, not the willful hurling of one's account into the way of...

About a year ago? Seriously, last I heard, they were thinking end of this year or beginning of next, but who knows? At the very least I'd expected basic order entry improvements within months of TS6 first coming out. The next version is supposed to have EVERYTHING and a bag of chips...

I do think that some of your AMEX problems simply have to do with AMEX (Another Miserable EXecution). Also, it appears to me that the market in Nasdaq often trades through or across AMEX. On the other hand, the OB being out of sync with L2 has been going on for more than a month, and...

Your poll question seems to presume that daytraders always or even very frequently wait until the last couple minutes and all go flat at once.

Ok, ok... so I'm revealing that I may be too emotional about this all... well... I could say that I'm just kidding around... or I could say that I'm exorcising the emotions, working on making them as boring to me as they appear to be to y'all (don't any of you even have something nice to say...

... that's preserving my good mood is the fact that DIAN didn't go on to lose half its value in some kind of mega-dump that commenced just after I covered... ... hate it when that happens... First time I ever happened to be short when one of those took place, I was so surprised, I...

Did have stuck quotes again today, though not very badly - just once or twice that I noticed. The main problem remains the lack of synchronization between bid-ask data as sent to the Order Bar and as reflected in L2. Often, the OB seems to get stuck on a bad bid, but just as or more often, the...

Here's the MKSI trade... I knew it was marginal going in, as I reflect on it: That potential support area ca. 13 (a major round # if ever there was one) from that action months ago...

My worst trades today were all the goods ones I simply passed up. Sometimes doing well on the first trade of the day, first trade of the week, and first trade of an interstellar trans-dimensional re-birth can make you overly protective of open profits. I turned down some great-looking...

DIAN in daily time frame...

I do love a gap fill... like garlic in the press, the feeling, when the early lows are penetrated... did take a trade on the move, had no choice, I felt, but to cover the last part at support, even tho this could still lurch a lot further - the stock and/or the index. You don't have to trade...

Never noticed the original post - kind of an interesting experiment. I think the key, and arguably the only thing that really matters, is how exactly the indicator is supposed to affect - set up, filter out, or help to reconfigure - a trade or trades, or at least influence a bias.

never noticed before that, if you change you "signature," your prior "signatures" all get altered retroactively or however you want to put it... Anyway, since some of y'all seemed to be getting depressed, worried, or confused by "Kymar RIP," I've switched to something I hope you'll find more...

Why not leave Kymar vs. KymarFye aside, and simply refer to the second paragraph of my second post? In sum, though I've had periods of sustained success, I have NOT been a profitable trader overall. A closer analysis of my trading records shows that my "winning" percentage has consistently...

Um, you find " Oh, great anti-Kymar, KymarFye!" a bit cumbersome? Whatever works for you is fine, I guess. Have no problem with KMF or KF, for instance. I think you're reading the chart wrong... It was purely a day trade, and took place on October 2, 2002. More generally, I do look at...
