    Trading Flow technique by McRibel.com

    This kind of indicator has been 'introduced' some months ago in the Active Trader Magazine. There they called it 'Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)'. Maybe you can find there additional information. The problem is the data you need for the calculation. As cashonly already mentioned you need to...

    For me there is only one choice: Stop trading the afternoons. It is like my example: Treat your morning trades as strategy A and your afternoon trades as strategy B). If your stats are telling you that your system loses 4 points in the afternoon why trade it at all? A 4 point loss will be a 4...

    Money management has only a ‘leverage’ effect to a strategy. Some comments here sound like a good money management can turn a losing strategy into a winning strategy. This is absolutely not true! But this is often a result of a wrong understanding of money management. I give you an example...

    zero sum game?????????????

    Spike, I agree that the stock market is not a zero sum game. But I think it is different in the futures. There trader A can only buy a contract when there is another trader B who takes the other side. So when A is winning then trader B is loosing cause B is still in the game/market. In...

    Interested in a day trading method ?

    Traderich, some statistics are very important (at least for me) to assess whether a strategy is sound and tradeable: 1.) Average profit per trade: My criteria is >1% per trade AFTER commission (for stocks). This gives you some room to cover slippage 2.) Return in relation to...

    The Winning Edge 2

    Prevail, 1.) As you can read on the homepage, RC is not Rickey, but one of his students 2.) The performance of the systems are after the commissions of Striker (>20 USD r/t). So if you expect 200 trades a year it is >8,000 USD of commission alone! 3.) None of these systems are traded in the...

    The Winning Edge 2

    Naztrader, as you can see on Rickey's homepage 120 USD is per contract and you have to trade it through a broker (like Striker) who charge you additional ~20 USD per r/t. Off course you can license some of Rickey's systems but that also cost you several thousand $ and trading strategy is...

    The Winning Edge 2
