    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    most important..get yourself the right tools if you are going to risk some money..leaving a trade and wishing/hoping is for people who will lose..if you want to make some money it will require time and effort..no shortcuts in this game of chance!

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    more thinking..a trade is setting up as the sides are currently slashing at each other with swords..it appears you are not thinking correctly in relation to when you should trade..and how much you are willing to risk..to make a possible amount !

    AMP News: Mini CBOE Volatility Index (VXM) - Ready for Live Trading!

    just to clarify.. once you click on arrow next to price on ladder the limit order becomes active..buy or sell.. once active in the box you then need 2 options..1 click in the box should highlight the price in the box and you can then adjust that highlighted price up or down with the arrow...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    what sticks out when you look at the volume..a close below or a close above can be important..but it depends where that close actually is in relation to how you are using the chart to make trading decisions ! take a step back..when you trade..what do you use to determine when you will enter a...

    i assumed you knew..that was for my future students :)..yes..it is moot..in fact it doesn't really matter to the small retail trader who is doing what..or why they are doing it..the only thing that matters is the bottom line..can i make some money spending my precious time trading this...

    it's all on CME website..but for those who are new to futures trading..it is the E-micro contract..not the E-mini contract ! MES is 1/10 the ES..so you have 4 ticks in each..MES tick being €1.25 and multiply by 10 for ES for €12.50..so..4 ticks one point..$5 versus $50!!!!!! do you now see the...

    i assume you mean mostly for individual stocks..although i sometimes look at T&S for ES..but unfortunately at the moment MT5 have the colors reversed..so i have to keep reminding myself in the corner of my eye that Bids are Asks..and Asks are Bids :) i am working on getting them to add some...

    if you straighten up that red line you have even better reason to put on a low risk trade ! the vertical line is also important !!

    or..like a short term trade you didn't keep an eye on..which then turns into a short term swing trade..which then turns into a position trade..i wonder how many traders still practice that unwise approach..which if course can easily come right with volatility..and using the MES..for..after...

    i used to chart the NYSE TICK on 2 day 5 min bars..with lines drawn at 0, + & - 500 and + & - 1200..i found it to be ok on keeping your bias for the day..i.e long or short..i might resurrect it and see if any value now..as i have moved away from IB TWS charting and use MT5 with AMP futures...

    ok..i don't really worry about things like that..to be honest..i have tested a good deal of charting software to look at short term movements using order flow analysis..all from AMP futures offerings..and after many many hours of comparing the results to my own way of looking at what is...
