The 2nd last long points to the MACD cross down instead of up. What do I win? --opm8

I've seen ER prints of 250 contracts go off on time and sales and it did nothing to the market. If you're watching the bid/ask it moves much faster than the ES, if that's your baseline. Don't let the "thinness" fool you. There's tons of depth there which comes in without any notice. --opm8

Compare speeds with and without the router; they should be the same. If not, get a different brand. --opm8

trader28, When you get a sec, please post a chart of today's entries. I very much appreciate all the info and support you're providing here. --opm8

trader28, Excellent thread. I'm still not clear on when you take the 2-min entries. If you enter as the 2-min MACD crosses the zero line does that mean you are not looking at the 10-min chart? I don't get when you reference the 10-min MACD and when you don't. Thanks. --opm8

Yes, there's truth to that. Maybe because my trading history has up to now been sub-par, regardless of which methodology I've followed.

How is buying the bottom of an up move "research, knowledge, expertise and execution?" I don't follow what you're saying.

That's a good question. For the first trade the answer is that on an intra-day timeframe I read my charts to see that the up move was diminishing. In retrospect I misread things (20-20 hindsight) and more than anything jumped the gun. My plan is based on a daily timeframe and here I was...

Every night I plan out the coming trading day with regards to entry and target areas. I'm usually right on the money with my predictions but the problem is I am most often trading against myself, in the opposite direction of what I intended the night before. Today as the market ran up from...

The simplest route is a TN visa, good for 1 yr at a time and renewable indefintely, if memory serves. It requires only minimal paperwork from your US employer. However, you're at the mercy of the $13/hr border guard who can decline you if he's having a bad day. From there you can't get back...

Good post. Many will not understand what you're saying here but it's vital information. There's a quote that goes something like "Don't look for excitement in the market, find it elsewhere." Reaching this level of detachment, especially while in a trade, is trader nirvana. --opm8

If your system is truly profitable then take out a loan and trade it. Of course, we both know why that won't happen. --opm8

Usually when eSignal has a glitch the problems persist for several days forward. This is no exception. What's your excuse today eSignal? --opm8

Is your company run by monkeys? Why does a power failure knock out your servers several times a year?

Where's your update JayF? People are still down! --opm8

If you want to compare apples to apples then you would have to use half the number of ES contracts to maintain the same approximate level of risk since one ES pt = $50, while an ER2 point = $100. I've switched to the ER2 for the liquidity, volatility and what I see as more technically...

I have received quite a few PMs about Drummond Geometry and wanted to post on this thread asking everyone to please stop. I don't follow the system anymore so would prefer that you do not ask me any questions about it. After much study and introspection I have come to the conclusion that it...
