Jimns, I like the idea of using "bollinger bands" 20/2. They kinda give you a reference for exactly where you are in the market. When I first started trading I liked the idea of learning on a $5.00 a point instead of a $10.00 a point market. But it just seems to me that their is...

See... here we go again, another tweak...What can I say!!! I've played around with the offset's and have my computer set-up like this... 1). sma 2 + 1 red 2). sma 3 + 1 seafoam green 3). sma 4 + 1 seafoam green 4). sma 5 + 1 blue Along with what Trader28 (Macd) teaches, the...

Sean and Hawk, For the most part I am profitable except for yesterday when I lost $100.00 (pissed me off). When I lose money, I try to reevaluate in my mind what happened and why. Yesterday it seemed the market (YM) had no follow through. I'd put on a trade and 15 to 20 seconds later...

Hey Trader28, Just a couple of questions? But, I need your opinion! What are you using as your stop? Is it the SMA3 +2 or do you also use a different one? For example SMA2 + 1? Also, I am thinking of switching to the (ER) S & P, 10.00 a point from the (YM) Mini Dow, $5.00 a...

Hi Guy's, When I referred to the "SPM Guidebook" I was referring to all 407 pages of this little read. The SPM started out simple but different traders around the world started trying it and giving their opinions and suggestions. We have traders from (England, New Zealand, France...

Absolutely... To be honest every trader in the "world" should buy Trader28 the drink of his choice for all his help and secrets to trading. I have learned a great deal from Trader28 and have never had any problems with him at all in over 6 months of communicating with him. Also, to...

Jack Hershey, I appreciate your help and suggestions! I took your suggestions and "souped" up "SPM". It works much smoother and for me can be used to scalp or trade the market. Depending on market conditions. The system is a combination of your suggestions and ideas and Trader28...

Xiaodre, I know your not talking to me (I am not Jack Hershey). However, I've been learning and trading Trader28's basic system for 6 months now. Hundreds of trades later I can testify that the system does work. It does help if you have a "big pair of Kahuna's". Sometimes you have...

Hey Trader28, If I really knew how to trade I'd be up $10,000 today instead of $750.00 As you can tell I am still learning but at least it's going in the right direction. At least were making money on the (short side of the YM) instead of being in stocks in some mutual fund. Thank...

If I knew how to trade I'd be up $10,000 instead of $750.00. I am still learning but at least it's going in the right direction!!! Great day to be trading the (YM)... snarlyjack

When I look at the (YM) it is flat. And has been for the past 3 days more or less. I've only made just a few trades... I've been watching C-Span on t.v. and watching the debate in the Congress about Iraq for the past three days. Very interesting by the way. But the (YM) is flat and...

Technoodle, I've been watching President Bush speak on t.v. and I don't like to trade during major news releases. To unpredictable... Anyway, would you tell me about the "levels" that you use to help you trade? 1). Which market are you trading using levels? (YM)? 2). How do they...

Techdoodle, Welcome to the "jungle". There lot's of fun and games here! So...be on guard for that nasty old bear. And learn the way of the jungle...Mogli would be proud of you... snarlyjack

Kinggyppo and Trader28, I appreciate your info on charting programs. The ET thread was very interesting. I am slowly getting my thoughts together on exactly what kind of software I need to trade the futures. Don't really need a portfolio software program in that I am not trading a...

ProfLogic, First of all, I want to thankyou for your help in your posts. They are very good and informative. Question??? I used to use "Omnitrader" as my trading platform. However, I found over time that it did not have the capabilities that I need. So I replaced "Omnitrader"...

Trader28, I read the article on the macd histogram. It could be a very interesting add-on to your "Metastock Program". You should order it!(?). By the way, I am looking to buy another program, now that I've ditched "Omnitrader". Knowing what you do now... Would you buy Metastock...

Jack, I appreciate your response to my question of the 5 minute chart and volume. So far I have studied the 2 indicators that I know you use: 1). Stoch 5-2-3 and 2). Macd 5-13-6 Along with volume bars. I can see when the stoch crosses the 50% line that you would reverse your...

Well I ended the day up $175.00 Not a lot, but just enough to keep me out of the poor house. But what a "battle ground". Seems to me a person had about 3 bars (2 minute chart, 6 minutes, max) to get in, make some money and get out. Before it turned on ya. I feel like a scalper...

Mountain Time... It's lunch time in New York City and the market is in its holding pattern? From 9:30 Mountain Time to at least 11:00 Mountain Time the market is in the chop zone. Before and after it's not bad but right now I don't see any buy/sell signs. So how's your "dog" doing...

Thanks for all your help! Just making sure were all on the same page. And looking at the same things. snarlyjack
