Thank you Gary! I watched the videos over the weekend and really loved them. You have given me plenty of ideas to look into. Thanks! I'm on Interactivebrokers, so I use their data for my charts. Their symbol is "HSI". Your real-time data provider probably has a different symbol...

Hi Gary! First, thanks a lot to you and Speculari for the videos! I was finally able to download it. Hope to watch it this weekend. How about a market where there's always something going on: the Hang Sang Index futures in Hong Kong! :). The enclosed chart of last week shows some nice...

Thank you Gary! I will be around on Monday. Yes, I have something that could use some input from an experienced trader. I know this might sound strange :), but I like the ES exactly for the "choppy" phases like this week, since I more or less fade highs and lows. I recognize though that...

Thanks! It was during lunch time on a small retracement of the upward trend. Although there were a number of fills at my price I wasn't among those filled. :) It really depends where you are in the queue, I guess. Now with Moskow's comments out, there is better liquidity :).

Thanks! The broker I use has this order tool that's really just meant for generating limit orders. So I kind of got used to using it. Because you can do a single mouse-click and your order is at Globex. No confirmation needed. Interactivebrokers has many third-party front-ends, so I think...

I have difficulties today getting limit orders filled. There's just not enough volume to give me fills, although ES might sit on a particular price for ages :). Do you guys use market orders when you enter and exit?

Thanks! Once earlier in your journal you mentioned "The Disciplined Trader". In fact, this book helps me a lot to identify those weaknesses. I was just browsing through it now and finding a paragraph titled "Executing Your Trades". It kind of sums up things nicely for me: "Your ability to...

I know you don't need to hear this :) but you got something I don't have yet: the confidence and the discipline to stick to your plan. No matter what. You know from experience that you will come out on top. I had a signal to go long at the low at 1296.75 but because I just don't have that...

I got in on a pullback from your value at 1301.75 but then got out with two ticks profit just before they came out with the consumer sentiment figures at 9:45. Something just didn't feel right. Guess I got lucky! :) Sentiment dropped to 78.7 in August. Economists were expecting 83.6. Lowest...

Hi Tom! I think this link here gives you all the information you need: http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/equity/pricelimits2549.html It's the official information given out by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. There were many limit up and limit down days during 1999 and 2000 but I have...

Yeah, I was long! Got out about 15 minutes ago at 1287. Glad I did. Someone really dumped a load here! Broke through the daily pivot. To 4re and everyone else posting in this journal: this is one of the most civil threads on this forum. I read it every day, and get lots of tips that help me...

Well, Ukraine in terms of Internet infrastructure is somewhere where Western Europe was perhaps 5 to 10 years ago. But they will catch up. Eventually. Ukrtelekom is in the process of upgrading their systems everywhere, so you could get a condo in Kyiv that already has digital lines. That's...

The main problem with high-speed Internet in Ukraine is that in most areas (except near the city center in Kyiv) you still have old Soviet-style phone systems. Ukrtelecom, the still government-owned phone company (well, Deutsche Telekom has a stake in it) has said they will upgrade their...
