I wouldn't have chimed in on this if that fraud and braggart apak (multiple aliases with little to nothing of value) hadn't added his less than 2 cents worth. This is like any other business in terms of time, planning, capitalization and effort. The reason most people fail is for the same...

Finally had to put this dumb fucking kid, stock_turk3y on Ignore. Been here almost seven years and watched ET's precipitous slide due, in large part, to fuckheads like this. He's actually become something of a minor celebrity here. Maybe if everyone ignored him and didn't respond to any...

Bear, no dorms in community college - that's back to the bunk bed at mom and dad's.

My last comment here, as I suspect this one, too, will support my prior post, but here goes: Backtesting assumes conditions will be similar to the environment you use for testing. If you test based upon the volatility of the last few weeks or so, do you assume this will be helpful? If you...

Perhaps I'm wrong, but you appear to be looking for feedback and insight from others as to why you're approach is not giving you the results you want. What I've observed in this thread is you managing to dismiss, argue with, and find some fault with just about every comment made by others in...

Master the Markets is a very watered-down version of Williams' first book, Undeclared Secrets. MTM is largely written to sell an expensive, unecessary piece of software, with info of value from the first book removed in large quantities. The DVD's are good, and do cover some things not...

Sarcastic answers aside, the lag comes from the fact that multiple data points are collected, then averaged over some time period. For example, if you use a 14 period setting on stochastics, there will be 14 closing prices all added together then divideded by 14 to give you an average price...

Really? Just what does it explain? Do give the insight of your two decades or less of life, and community college perspective.

Bloomberg recently had an article on this. That tool Gavin from TradeGuider has made a lot of money selling expensive software recently by screaming about the vast conspiracy afoot to manipulate markets.

Couldn't resist...

You could also try the SEARCH function as this question has been asked - and answered - repeatedly... Marks' post is gold, as is usually the case!

Make sure to do this, however, only between classes at that community college, not when you're supposed to be in the ones your parents are paying for.

A kid in community college - Ivan, that's fucking perfect! My prediction to Bear about who this kid really is seems to be much more accurate than stock_turk3y's market analysis, LOL! Think he'll disappear quitely now? My guess is, sadly, no.

It's really not the thing to focus on some pre-determined timeframe like 15 min, or hourly - it's much more about the "flow" of the market, for lack of a better word. On the floor, this is dictated heavily by the order flow since many locals are the ones taking the other side of the paper, or...

When I was on the floor, most people had a position, and would "trade around" it. Meaning, they might have a bias to one side or the other for the day, but would counter-trend trade, scalp, make markets, and trade various types of spreads as well. this would depend on the order flow and what...

Not at all trying to give you a hard time, and I'm wrong in my analysis as much as the next guy. One of the differences is that I don't try to predict the future as seems SO popular here on ET. Just pointing out some things from my perspective, and again, it's always so easy to go back and...

C'mon, know how old he is - just read his posts. No perspective, most if not all his knowledge from internet boards, no trading experience unless he's getting it in the last year or so by being consitantly wrong, in which case he demonstrates he's not learning, lots of false bravado and...

Are you still long this postion? Hindsight is always 20/20, but take a look at the 10 min chart. Price gaps down hard when much of the market (SPY, INDU, etc) did not - warning number one. Then there's a weak rally going into 11AM EST on dropping volume - warning number two. Then you get a...

Sociology and markets don't mix? Markets ARE sociology - they're all driven by people's emotional reactions. Trying reading a bit of behavioral finance. As Ivanovich has pointed out, you can't trade, and unlike the OP, who can't trade either, my bet is that you don't - just like so many now...

Unlike you, of course, wailing away, "..make it stop..." This certainy suggests you know what yuo're doing.
