    Price Action Traders

    I believe I looked at it initially when you originally posted. researched it some, someone mentioned it took him 2-3 years to master pitchforks, so I moved on! What is your methodology, do you just trade that one pattern? Regarding using fibs etc, even price action guru al brooks uses...

    TS Add-ons for strategy development?

    I think I understand what you are saying. Not sure I agree 100%. What are thoughts about the following tool, in particular what do you think about the idea of stress testing parameters? Thanks. http://www.thegrailsystem.com/grail-trading-system-faq.htm from the author of the grail wfo...

    For those of you who know what you're doing.

    I am certainly a lot older, but not sure much wiser. fyi.. I am a swing and intraday trader, not a HF trader. -- I wish I was exposed to proper walk forward testing software like grail etc from day one. Proper robustness determination of parameters is critical. -- must trade a portfolio of...

    TS Add-ons for strategy development?

    Here is one that I looked at, but by then I had already purchased grail walk forward opt. Greg is very active in TS fourms, you may want to look him up. Will only work with intraday data. http://www.stratopt.com/index.htm

    Recognizing his folly, Al Brooks is busy writing 2nd Edition of his book. In a long winded statement he acknowledges his poor writing style and says he is hard at work in trying to communicate his ideas better. He says he wrote the first edition in a month!

    Why the fvck do people care about obama's vacation??

    President Obama has accomplished more in the past 1 1/2 year than most presidents do in a 4 year term. How we forget what he inherited, most difficult presidency since FDR, an economy on the verge of depression, two wars.... I am really impressed by the former president Bush for not...

    POLL: Do you principally use a time-based, tick-based, or volume-based chart?

    For me this sudden interest in time based charts came about about a month ago, after buying price action guru Al Brooks book. He uses 5 minute bar charts. I was quite taken a back by it. He mentions the following as to why 5 min chart works for him. -- better able to see S/R -- trendlines...

    POLL: Do you principally use a time-based, tick-based, or volume-based chart?

    I have heard people say this many times, but I would like further clarification on why people feel time based charts are better? In this poll people seem to prefer time based charts 2 to 1, but when asked why, they seem to make a case for not using vol/tick charts. But no one has really...

    Do you support a Mosque at Ground Zero?

    The left is not condemning of other religions, just standing up for the constitution. Which Republicans the party of Abraham Lincoln, and supposedly the defenders of the constitution should be doing, standing up for equal rights of everyone, regardless of race, religion or creed. We should not...

    Do you support a Mosque at Ground Zero?

    I think I understand what you are saying, but you will find extremist within all groups. Just look at this forum, its the same handful of people with extreme views. Newt/palin/rush are supported by about 15% of the voters, that is why newt/palin will never get elected. btw. good post, I like...

    POLL: Do you principally use a time-based, tick-based, or volume-based chart?

    proflogic or shall I say captain volume, yes gabfly taking advantage of your absence stirred things up quite a bit. A volume mutiny in the chart world. I see you are wasting no time setting the record straight. PS. On a personal note, your vacation sounds great, watching Sting sing Roxanne...

    Struggling with staying focused

    Thank you all for your posts, many good comments. Regarding not trading through lunch, I am sorry but I don't get it. I mean we have a 'time sensitive' job, its not like we can take an hour off for lunch and come back and finish our work or catch up etc. how do you make up for a missed...

    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    I did a demo of this product couple of years ago, this was before the p-indicator. Also bought Michaels book profitability and systematic trading. I thought it was an interesting tool. What i find somewhat disconcerting is: 1) the old company/website trading patterns totally vanished...

    Do you support a Mosque at Ground Zero?

    I think you are comparing apples and oranges. Our fight is with al quaida and not Muslims or Islam. For four years we lived about a block away from the old WTC in Battery Park, every year on the anniversary of 911, for hours we would hear the names being read aloud of those killed on that...

    Do you support a Mosque at Ground Zero?

    I think we are at war against Al Qaida and not against Islam. It is the same faulty thinking that got us into Iraq. There are numerous porn shops all around ground zero which deeply offend the conservative christains, should we close those?

    Now Trading all day, what to do during lunch?

    I agree, frankly I don't quite understand not trading during lunch. I like to sit and watch every single tick, get a much better 'feel' for the market and also not to miss any opportunities. I mean 9AM - 4PM is only 7 hours. Making a living by pushing buttons is not bad.... In my other...
