Thank you guys for the kind words. I love to help people especially during live trading, typing what I see kind of reminds me of what's actually going on instead of developing crazy theories. Sometimes I get in the zone and when I do, I notice it and try to take advantage of it. However, like...

Absolutely, outside of market hours is just about anything goes. I tend to avoid it because you get none of the basic stuff like TRIN/TICK/Advancers/Decliners so your only indicator outside of price itself (not even volume) is really World Markets and news; and those aren't exactly very...

Your strategy better have absolutely minimal drawdown or it will wipe you out faster than you can say "oh shit!".

I second that.

Keep ignoring the challenges.

Jimmy, You sure are special. After all those PT log studies you did, I'm sure you very well know I'm not exactly looking for methodologies. Find me one person that's a member or ex-member of Puretick and have them post that "Anekdoten" needs help to be consistenly profitable, one person...

Ya, God forbid, you post the holy grail in public.

I don't think much of John except of his business skills. However, I meant that it's elemental in the sense that it's imperative and should be included in every platform because it's critical to daytrading.

Bear market baby! ...but make sure your preference or biased doesn't cloud your mind. Look at market internals, be a ref, it's ok to have a favorite team but when it comes to being a ref neutrality for the kill.

Absolutely nothing, in fact, it's the tape, it's critical. Just shocked that they don't have it.

What is it with Strategy Runner ? This stuff is so elemental to trading platforms. Time and Sales ? Are you kidding me!

Little update on the trading. Had a very good week. Except for Wednesday, more on that later, I had an excellent week. Even went 9 for 9 on what's usually a chaotic, option expirations day. Sometimes I find it hard to believe I can make in a month, sometimes in a week what some...

Many good traders scale out to secure profits, it also makes it easier to ride the winners because profits have been banked and no matter what happens to the current position you will come out ahead. Now, if you are up 8% on say 1000 shares and then you are only 2% on the same number of...

The middle line is, the upper and lower bands however are measurements of distance (think ATR) from the middle line or MA of your choice. They are similar to bollinger bands but use different computation. As to the OP, if your charting software does not have Keltner Channel then I don't...

Aaron, Yes but notice I said trail the remaining contract. Taking profits on half and trailing the other car is not a bad strategy as long as the stop is given room. Try that see how it goes if your method works better, then by all means, stick to it. Good luck.

Aaron, You might want to start considering trading multiple contracts so you can re-adjust your strategy to having multiple targets, at least 2 contracts. Imagine if you are up 75 points and the trade ends breaking even because you could not take some profits due to your lonely car...

I have fully automated system that runs off the tape drive of a Vic 20. It prints money on the dot matrix printer, unfortunately the money is no good.

Time to tighten those stops ! lol

Alex makes consistently profitable calls. If you follow his official calls and exit at his targets, you will make money over the long run. The problem is some people can't handle following instructions and they might do things on their own or use poor money management when the right way is...

Quite frankly, so did I :)
