I assure you this is not the case. Every participant of this thread has a different starting point, we are all learning at different paces, and we are all focused on different areas at a given time. There were posts that you made in the early days of this thread that didn't mean much to me at...

Quote from Stalker:When the markets moving fast, there´s a spread between bid and ask so market orders are going of at each other in the middle so to speak, but the rest of the time market orders meet limited orders at either bid or ask. Is this possible? I thought a "market buy" order...

This is two very different types of buyers/sellers. On one side of the transaction was a single buyer willing to pay Ask for 500 contracts. On the opposite side is one large or many small limit sellers. The limit sellers made their decision in the past, submitted their order, and have been...

Could also be a holding pattern until the Fed minutes are released at 14:00ET

Glad you posted about your charts Easy, I appreciate the advice. I will take a look at them since I do not use any special features of Ensign. Does QT have a "parallel line" option like Ensign? What studies are attached to the bottom of your trading chart?

I've been researching data feeds for a monitoring app I want to build so I had a list handy. To get you started here are a few that are marketed for use in websites. Be sure to look at licensing as most datafeeds do not permit you to redisplay on the web. I originally got these from...

I looked into IQFEED and was disappointed to find that they do not offer market depth in their retail feed, only in their institutional feed. I know the DOM figures into your trading strategy, so do you use the institutional? I found it a tad pricey at $750/mo!

Excellent! Care to share with us about how it felt (anxiety-wise) to make the turns and be in for so long?

Agreed Mak. I think the biggest challenge is coming up with pertinent questions... from there you have something that can be researched and solved. Looking back to when this thread started I can see I didn't have a clue what I needed to learn to move forward -- thankfully Stalker and others...

In the process of re-reading some posts in this thread from last month I came across this one from Jack. Earlier in the same post he mentioned colored lines on the sweep charts... I'm not clear if he that is what he is referring to by "overlapped colored charts", or if it is something else...

What is this?

I have to imagine Jack would be a fantastic teacher/mentor in the proper setting, but he stated early in this thread that is not his intention here... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=826978&highlight=teaching#post826978

Great suggestions... I need to do this for every item on the sweep doc, plus a lot of general trading topics. I'm amazed at how many hours I burn when researching topics through these forums and then end up chasing one tangent after another, never really getting to a deeper understanding of...

Thanks for posting in this thread, you always remind me to look at the bigger formations. Ed/Magee v6 en route.

Do you ever trade from a higher timeframe chart than the 5m?

Icarus, this would be an interesting discussion in itself. Would you give some examples of the skills/beliefs that you are having trouble transferring... I believe it may help us self-learners to see the situation from your point of view. You say the transference problem is a mystery...

great news! welcome back

Dan is there a particular technique to washing that you are using, or do you simply hold until you can exit without a loss when you want out of a trade? I am doing an iteration of studying this week without much trading. Yesterday I did two in the afternoon for +.5 and 0. Today I waited for...

I agree, new ST pt3. For me it is clearest on the 60m.
