    TradeStation Securities Announces New Lower Commissions

    how to measure angle of moving average

    Excel's SLOPE function is set up for what I think you want. I don't know how you're inputting your MA values, but they should end up in one column as your "dependent variable," and time (cell/bar number, incrementing +1 per cell) would be your "independent variable." Slope is the...

    Book recommendations please

    Of all the "shitty books," Oz's is the one to avoid? Nothing personal, but what gives you the idea that a statement like that is valulble or useful in any way? No reasons, no explanations, not even the slightest indication of anything you've ever gotten from any book, or of what you...

    TradeStation Securities Announces New Lower Commissions

    Yeah, all the great teachers I know depend on insults, arrogance, condescension, and pointless reticence in order to get their messages across. I take it from your posts elsewhere on ET that when you call the TS commission structure "terrible," you're comparing it to scalper's rates in a...

    Overtrading

    can be an addiction. Not just "like" an addiction, but truly an addiction in the sense of being based on actual biochemical responses to the "excitement" (or excitation) that comes from being in a trade, winning or losing, and that's easily produced by clicking a mouse or hitting a button...

    tomorrow should be interesting

    Why should tomorrow be interesting? Seems to me that things have been far too interesting, especially for this time of year. I think tomorrow should be boring. It's about time we had one of those excruciatingly boring, 1 pt/hour sessions, if only to force CNBC to come up with something...

    Exposing one Donald Bright

    I don't believe JBLU actually traded in a 20 pt range on that day or any other. DIAN just barely managed a 20-pt range a few weeks ago... Really, though, bothering with such unusual events weakens your attempt to defend and counterattack. Most of the Nasdaq stocks that used to produce...

    The Tao of Publias

    dude, get with the tao... ...it may very well be that Publias is able to divorce his ego from his trading precisely because he is so utterly and colorfully self-glorious about it when not trading. I'm guessing it's a lot better for your trading to engage your emotions outside of the...

    Anaheim Trading Expo Aug 8-12

    ...attended last year - horrifying commute from LA to OC, even on the weekend, at least by the eastern route. If I attend again this year, I'll give the western route a try. Last year, they offered shorter, cheaper seminars. This year it's fairly expensive “workshops.” Can't really...

    which is best the direct access broker

    Hey, despite our difference, I even went out of my way to try to help you out, after you were completely through with TS and had trashed them at length, and now you respond with crap like the above... Anyone who's read my posts on ET - those related to TS and those that have nothing to do...

    2x SPY,QQQ,DIA -- Great Trading Product

    If it works, could be very interesting... Presuming that they're fully marginable and otherwise trade just like the current ETFs (no uptick), and that the liquidity is there, then they could give stock-traders an excellent alternative to the e-minis...thanks for the heads-up.

    which is best the direct access broker

    Sorry. Though I tried to throw in some concessions, I realize that my tone may have been unnecessarily harsh. Having wasted time and money at the wrong brokers when I was first starting out, I fancied myself "saving" a "newbie" from the same mistake, but I admit I don't know the first thing...

    Self Talk - method for changing habits

    I've had similar problems at various times. I believe that, after a good period, a few things can combine together in a bad synergy: 1. Overconfidence - Coming off an excellent period during which I generate a high winning percentage, I might seem on the verge of a major breakthrough...

    which is best the direct access broker

    Frankly, I can't imagine why anyone would trade with a platform like Prophettrader, though I suppose there might be something I'm missing here ( wouldn't be the first time). Still, $9.95 + Exchange fees + $5 for Limit Orders!? And a fully penny a share extra for listed stocks? If I understand...

    Technical Analysis and Common Sense

    After a long examination of so-called Random Walk and related theories about price action, including the inevitable encounters with opinions and positions that don't really deserve to be called "theories" at all, I've come to a similar conclusion. It seems to that there is a lot of...
