Thanks for the reply... anyone have any feedback as to why you use Mirus as an IB rather than just opening an account directly with Dorman?

The problem I've had with NT is, I use tick charts. I've tried to see if I could get the NT chart to match my Trade Station chart, but it's always way off (using imported data from Trade Station, too). Using IB's tick feed is, of course, useless. My question....do any of you build tick...

I'm not going to give you my manual for day trading the ES's, but I can tell one of my best trade set-up's involves the distance / difference between a fast ma and a slower ma. You might find better information looking at the difference in the ma's rather than a crossing of the ma's. Set the...

Why does Snagglepuss say "Heavens to Murgatroyd!"? When you know that answer you will know all answers.

thank you !!!!

I use IB to execute my orders, but don't use any of their charts. Someone mentioned to me that they now give traders the ability to create indicators on these charts. I explained that as far as I knew, you can customize the indicators they give you (canned) on their charts, but you cannot...

It's pretty obvious that Jimmy has done very well over the past few years. Evidence: He no longer wears his bow-tie. When people wear a bow-tie, they want to give others the impression that they are highly intelligent and wealthy. When they drop the bow-tie, they have become...

no, they are rebating the $40.00 at the end of the month. if you only want the e-mini's, it will be $15.00 cheaper per month.

Your hidden divergence is just my divergence. Maybe your "hidden" divergences are working because they occur when I'm getting my divergences. lol

Yes, I did. Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks Cory for posting your stats. It's always a great reminder that while this strategy can be profitable over a one year period, there are some harsh realities involved. ie: 1) You are averaging 3,000-4,000 shares per issue 2) You have approx 50 issues on your list 3) You...

I believe what Maverick74 is pointing to, is that there are viable and valuable concepts to be learned. The first 15-30 minute breakout method can be an excellent way to participate in big trend days. The reversal parameters can also capture some huge moves. Where so many give up or go...

The last minute of this interview where Dibartolomeo says he doesn't watch CNBC because he likes to "stick to the facts" is freakin' too funny. http://www.cnbc.com/id/28379153

While I love trading many of the etf's leveraged and not, I just don't understand why anyone would trade the spy,qqqq, or dia's or any leveraged off-shoot of. The mini's allow you to determine your leverage and are tax advantaged at 60%-40%.

Right on Don. These guys that want to "get in" for $5,000 don't understand that if you have a drawdown of only $2,000 that you now have just $3,000 to back-up your trades. Believe it or not, there is a cost to bringing traders on board, whether it's the cost of "time" (compliance officer...

The explanation for this move is quite simple: A friend told me last week that Prechter's EWT said the dollar and euro currency were in a 4th wave triangle and that the next move for the dollar was a 5th wave up / for the euro a 5th wave down. Since the EWT has a such a high probability of...

Thanks for letting us know. Now we'll be able to sleep better. Can't wait to see what your post #6436 will be about. 6435 posts in 850 days. You average about 8 posts per day. You deserve a vacation. Good work!

Not really. You can go for long periods of time and the entire year losing money. It's like anything else, the 5% or so who have tried this strategy and are profitable, still use it. Remember, there are the other 95% who tried it and stopped. Those that have not been profitable or feel that...

If the "way you trade" isn't conducive to the market action, then you are smart to not trade. For me, this has been a very "easy" and orderly market day (es). The great thing about being a trader is that you can pick your opponent and the time to trade. Only trade when you can beat the...
