Bolter, I do agree with all facts you stated and I am looking forward to watch this thread closely and participate (if I have something useful to say). But let me ask you something, why you tie up the market delta concept with the market delta product ? As you said analyzing T&S...

excuse me but I insist Averaging down = I am right and I am gonna bet more to prove that I am right and yes you r gonna win many times using this strategy but wait for the loser to come, it will wipe out manyyyyy winners, for me this is not a good strategy to have one loser wipe out many...

Lets differentiate between 2 different things here 1- Averaging down on a loser (only done coz one refuses to take a loss and hoping for a come back) 2- Building up a huge position (planned and intended) The first is a no no for me, the second is way beyond our discussion here. now let...

Bit, I trade AAPL and its great but yes I am one of those bots :) In the past I traded it manually and it was great too and I think there is alot of opportunities in AAPL. What other stocks you trade ?

Neet, sorry to disappoint you but I don't agree on this strategy :) Believe me I tried all this before and learned my lesson the hard way. If I enter a trade I do so as I think it will go in one way, if it doesn't then I am wrong and I just exit. I know that your strategy will work...

Neet, I like your example about AAPL. you have to be aware of something called opportunity cost. In your above example if the trade goes in your way you would be taking profits quickly and then will look forward for another opportunity but if the trade goes against you and you start...

Don, I am sure we are on the same page here but I want to point out that my post is not a trading plan, its a training plan. Huge difference here. It doesn't detail what is the trading strategy to be taught, it just outlines how a trader should be taught how to trade, so it can be used...

you are welcomed anytime. Don't depend too much on the documentation, unfortunately they lack lots of information. you will have to dig your way by try and error. Good Luck

Don, My goal was not to detail a specific strategy. "Buy and hope" what is that ? where did I mention it ? And regarding reading books, where did I say that only reading books will make you successful ? what about reading my post again :)

Very interesting conversation going on here :) I agree with Mav and Don that if a trader who just started out is left alone to trade his $5k account then I would assure you that he will blow it out in less than 2 weeks. But :) if someone is disciplined enough (at the end of the bell curve...

Hi zaltan, I just tried your login, it doesn't work !! I tried it using Laser and it worked just fine but when I tried it using the API it just doesn't send the orders. Very strange. I didn't go through your code since now we have a problem with the login. I think you should contact...

Hi Zlatan, I use Genesis API and I can place orders successfuly, maybe there is something wrong with the way you place the order "post here how you place it" or your login has something wrong that prevent it from sending orders "send me your test login if you would like me to test it on my...

As dcraig said, your best tutor is online, just grab eclipse from eclipse.org and start getting your feet wet, you will need to learn many things, one advanced topic that you will definitely need is "Threads". Be warned, if you have some high expectations of getting your automated system up...

Many people are attacking MBTrading. I have accounts at both IB and MBTrading where I trade long term strategies and from my experience with them I can say that MBTrading is a great firm in terms of customer support, very friendly and helpful people, IB's customer support sucks, very arrogant...

makcim, Read this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78053&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

mackim, start incorporating market delta with the above strategies, you might find this helpful

As I always say, market delta alone is useless, you have to combine it with the price action to start jumping to conclusions. If you see increasing market delta while the price is not increasing this usually means some evil big seller sitting on the ASK, and usually all of a sudden you will...

Why I see this thread becoming a fight club :) we are all here to exchange knowledge so we have to make our discussions and criticism as constructive as possible. fearless9, can you please bear with us and elaborate on why you disagree with momo ? maybe we are missing something here and we...
