Charts only. Know when the inventory data comes out ( oil and nat gas) other then that I dont care. I should say I only trade intra-day, if I was swing trading I would pay attention things in the Middle East, and other related news but the chart would trump all. I try to remember that someone...

While I agree that calorie restriction is the key to weight loss, exercise is even MORE IMPORTANT. Albeit, the correct type of exercise. There is aerobic ( running, biking, etc.) and anaerobic ( weight lifting). In order to achieve weight loss, and even more importantly, keep it off, a person...

I dont use TS to trade but I saw a pop around 10:15am EST that said something about the market depth being delayed or incorrect. Gotta love TS...

I believe candles are a very powerful tool. However, and this is a big however, they are not a system in it of itself. You must use candles as PART of your system (eg not going long just because you see a hammer) There must be some other contributing factors that will implore you to buy. When...

I've been trading and watching the QM for a while now, and the nat gas report was not the cause of any huge moves in the QM. Just take a look at the charts of both. When the nat gas report came out QN spiked higher real quick then came back down, spike back up, and then continued the move down...

Yahoo is your best bet as you can save that data in excel then easily do what you want with it. Saves you the time of typing all the information that you want into a seperate database

I don't believe that. Why do you think everyone is so good at paper trading, but so many people fail??? I'm not trying to knock the guy, it looks that he has a sound system. My only point is that when you have thousands of real dollars on the line, the game changes. That's all.

Probably because they are placing real trades with real money :eek:

Here's a link I use to see whats going on for the week. http://mam.econoday.com/calendar/US/EN/New_York/year/2006/month/08/day/08/daily/index.html

Especially the day before FOMC:(

Summer trading is the worst!!!:mad:

Trend is down, good luck

Is Franz still trading in the alert room? Last I heard he was on "vaction", just curious.

Monday's are bad enough. I hate days where it just tries to chop you to death. I agree though today does seem weird. Nothing is really moving, indexes, oil, EC( maybe a little there but nothing spectacular.)

It's true that it this problem comes from the CME, but Tradestation can still prevent these spikes from showing on the charts. Realtick and CQG have built in filters to filter those ticks out. So yes, technically its a CME problem but TS and Esignal should have filters already in place.

You're not going to last very long if your winners are only $80-$100 but your losses are up near $300. You got to get those #'s flipped. If you dont you better be right most, if not all, the time. You should try to be up around 1:3 ( risk to reward) I find that hard, so I keep mine at least 1:2.

i did, sorry about that.:eek:

Havent you stated in multiple threads how shorting is risky and you dont do it? Now on a nice move down, your magically short. And you even go as far as saying you only short. First you only go long, now you only go long. And it always corresponds to whats going on that day. Just an...

umm.yeah??:confused:

why do you want to limit yourself? They both have pros and cons. Use them both. Its kinda like your saying which is more important to drive a car, the gas or the break? Each has its seperate purpose, but they work together. So use both.
