    Why traders get no respect

    xbrxx: I agree with you. A lot of things are good when you have money. When you are hard poor , then also every big love will finish into daily hunt for food, water, some money to live, to have some place to live etc. With money you can live much easier in our era. And also a lot of living...

    Corelation between IYR and ICF ETFs

    Can somebody compare how relate IYR (Ishares DJ US Real Estate) to ICF (iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors). I thought they are related well each to other (they both have holding of practically the same R.Est. trusts). I am asking this because I noticed that today (12.09.2003) IYR gapped...

    Pre trade routine

    Hi, I trade from Europe and time difference between local and eastern time is really good for me. US markets opens at 3:30 pm local time and close 10pm local time. So I can sleep as long I want, or go play golf during the morning, then eat nice lunch. :D :cool: Typically I start...

    ETF (Sectors) swing trading

    Hi, sometime IB has not some ETF for shorting. There is possible to choose alternate ETF. Like I used it for TTH vs IYZ. But sometime there is not problem on IB side, because such ETF can be on list of not shortable shares because of large shorts positions taken (Uniform Practices Code...

    Sector

    I use Quotetracker and IQFeed as provider. You need to know symbols for each sector and then you can receive data from your data provider and sort them any time (the best way is to wait minimally 5 min after market open to settle the prices little bit) in order you want. Here is sample...

    ETF (Sectors) swing trading

    a) I use MA for confirmation (of trend, strength/weakness) only. Sometimes I can say : "Hey my support or resistance is on MA, it is stronger level" But I do not use them for entry/exit points b) Yes PPH touched already support level , but I think that such sector weakness can be used for...

    ETF (Sectors) swing trading

    The traded volume has no so singificance, because even no trade is done as underlying index is going up or down, then specialist has to chnge bid/ask in the right way. You have to watch underlying index value (like NLR.X for IYR) to know where is actual index price and then send Limit order...

    ETF (Sectors) swing trading

    No. Volume has no big sense for me in sector's ETFs. I like volume as indicator, but for ETFs is usable only for QQQ,DIA,SPY. I have noticed only usage of volume if I see big volume spike on key reversal point (support/resistance). Let say if I see big volume spike on support with combination...
