Format Symbol--Settings Under "Select Interval" select volume. Then on the right you can type in how many shares you want each bar.

Well, if you cant make money using time travel I think its time to hang it up and find something easier( though I dont know whats easier then time travel and trading:p ) Im just joking around..

Saw you quoted Livermore in a different thread. Heres a quote that I think will help you: "Remember that stocks are never too high for you to begin buying or too low to begin selling."

It simply builds a bar for whatever specified amount you tell the software. So instead of having a bar that forms every 3 min, you could change it and have it build a bar every 5000 shares. Of course, different markets are going to require different settings. I trade futures so my settings...

Ever try using volume based bars? I switched from time bars to volume and will never go back to the time bars. Just and idea.

I second that. I'm amazed how other people are obsessed with other people's p&l. If its real, good for them. If it's not, why should you care? If they take the time to make fake blotters, then those people are just pathetic. I don't know if the one's in this thread are real or not, and it...

Those generally don't go together. If it was easy then everyone would be billionaires. Trading is simple, not easy. Don't look for short cuts.

So I guess you are assuming that we'd all still be alive.

You could also use Tradestation's Radar Screen. I have never used it personally, but you can program basically whatever you want in it. So instead of having 500 charts open, you only have the radar screen open which looks like a quote screen. Just an idea.

I actually think the opposite. Pull up and intra-day chart of the ES and compare it to the ym, nq, er2, ec. I think all those are much cleaner then the es. But, its just my opinion

I agree, you are doing much better. Which is to be expected as you gain more experience. The only I would do is not to move your stop. Its actually good that you still got stopped out of you apple trade. Why? If the market would have rewarded you for violating your rules ( moving stop ) it...

Did you j/ say Jesse Livermore is just like Jim Cramer?? A M A Z I N G!:confused:

Looks like a 3yr annotated that chart:)

It's amazing how Jesse Livermore's advice is just as relevant as it was when it was written. "...Of all the speculative blunders there are few greater than trying to average a losing game."

Stops are there for a reason. Whats the point to put one on if you are just going to move it??

10%:)

Am I seeing this right? Are you still long a 1444.50?

Risking 3.5 points 1/2 out for a +.50 remaining 1/2 out or +1.5 Average Profit: 1 pt (1.5+.5)/2 Risked: 3.5 pts I dont think I would feel comfortable risking 3.5 points in order to make a net of 1 point. I dont like knowing that 1 loss could take about 4 of my winning trades away...

I use TS and I have been very happy w/ it. I dont trade trough them since I didnt like there matrix. However, if you open an account, make 10 round trips, and only want cme data, it only costs about $35 ( plus commisons). But if you dont make any round trips, the platform is only $99, still a...

Man, I hate to see the system on a bad day:p
