Folks, Has anyone considered using a HDTV as a monitor? If so, how is the resolution? Are there any problems associated with using a big-screen TV for a computer monitor? The obvious advantage of using a HDTV is the massive size -- 50"+ TIA

I really hope all is ok with his fund. If a well educated, intelligent, meticulous and thorough person like Aaron blows up, then there is very little hope for 99.99999% of ETers

It is difficult to categorize India as this or that. The progressive and educated south (where the software and IT industries are located) is very different from the northern states (Bihar state for eg where much of the caste and dowry atrocities take place) or the Communist east (Bengal) or...

Central banks and governments worldwide are not going to sit by idly while a protracted bear market unfolds. They will do everything they can to ensure robust economies and stock markets. True, Japan can be cited as an example of prolonged recession but I think it can be argued that the...

Folks, Can you name some individual stocks that rose significantly during the US bear market of 2000-2003? Thanks !

Off-topic here [and my apologies for the same]. def, does IB have plans to offer Nifty futures from the National Stock Exchange, India? If so, when? Thanks!

Tradestation's EasyLanguage can be used to code the indicators used thus far in SpyderTrader's SCT journal. But coding the DOM's behaviour may be a problem IMHO. Added advantage of TS is the automation feature where orders are executed once the strategy signals an entry/exit.

krishiyer, The Bloomberg article that I posted implies that trading with margin (stocks, futures etc) on US exchanges is not permitted for Indian residents and that only hedgers can take positions on US markets. Is this true? If so, it is a big step backwards (and not logical at all...

Folks, what are your opinions on this article...?? Why India Doesn't Trust Citizens With $100,000 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_mukherjee&sid=azTHJlfH7nWs

Just wondering - how is this device delivered to the IB account holder? Is it mailed to you or do you have to go to the nearest IB office and pick it up yourself?

I thought I had a perfect Point 3 Short at 10:35. There was a sharp down movement at 10:05-10:10 on high red volume and a subsequent retrace on declining black volume till 10:35. YM too seemed to confirm. However, price then shot upwards at 10:38 and blew out the RTL. Was there any way...

This is an important statement IMHO. It helps the trader accept full responsibility for his actions rather than blaming the market for not moving the way the trader wanted it to move. The market is always correct and always giving out clues and it is up to the trader to be on the same side; if...

I have black volume decreasing between 10:15-10:30.

Spydertrader, I had annotated the red 10:30 bar as a Point 3 on the downward channel. It had all the markings of a Point 3 with progressively decreasing black volume that led to it. However, it did not turn out that way. How/when could one have known that this was not a Point3 ? I keep...

I think you have hit the nail on the head. IMHO, the PVT method for equities is a lot more objective and relies less on trader skill. SCT requires a significantly higher degree of trading motivation and skill. One can understand and implement the equities method after reading/understanding...

Steve, great trade! What helped you decide @ 14:45 that this was going to turn out short and not into an HVS? Thanks.

Spydertrader, How would you diagnose the pale blue area in your chart (between 14:15-15:00)? In real time, I annotated an FTT @ 14:30 and reversed to long. The big black volume bar at 14:45 followed by two progressively declining red volume bars indicated that my long assessment was...

I anticipated without problem the FTTs (or they could be called FBOs @ the LTL if channels are flattened) at 11:00 and 11:35 and both unfolded as I had imagined. However, I missed the FTT at 9:50 completely and did not spot the change in trend till the 10:00 bar was complete.

Folks, How are the volume bands calculated? I would imagine that after the high volume of the past 2 days, the bands would have to be recalculated.... :confused: TIA

Spydertrader, Thank you for all your good deeds. Changing the trade cycle from FTT-->FTT to Point3-->FTT helped me a lot. It was more difficult to change my mind from short to long in one shot; going from short to neutral and then to long is smoother. My problem area is waiting for...
