Chris.... this is really great info.... thanks so much.... I have been thinking about building one myself.... the only thing different is that I have 6-24inch monitors that may require additional/upgraded hardware. thanks again (too bad you don't live in danville, ca ) :) toucan

Bathrobe.... i'm thinking of building one....a few questions: what background do you have for building computer is this your first build how long did it take you from order to completion what was the total cost for the box .... not the monitors thanks in advance toucan

ok... thanks The newer customers were given 9.1 software, but the older customers like me don't have access to 9.1 with chart trader yet. We still have to rely on existing software options/commands to simulate what you have with chart trader. if you click on help, then click on "about...

Indextrader7..... Very nice trading today. Thanks for the videos. I see you are using 9.1.... what update/build are you using and does the chart trader still have problems. thanks toucan

Indextrader7.... What do you use for TF? I use 400 tick. cheers toucan

Killingtheta: I agree with indextrader7 on what/how to choose for tick size. Most traders that I've talked to chalk it up to their own personality and how they intend to trade their own system. When I switched to futures 5 years ago, I knew that I wanted to use tick charts because...

How did you guys do today? I kinda wish I would have kept trading. Great volatility. Indextrader7.... lost big time on currency futures trades but made it up with good index futures trades. My ES trades today...

indextrader7 nice recap today... :) is there some reasoning/method behind the varying of initial contracts or with varying additional contracts when already in a trade? do you experience difficulty with limit order fills using that number of contracts and do you experience any slippage...

indextrader7... Thanks for the reply. I use tradestation, daily pivots on 24 hour tick charts, enter once and have 2 profit targets, never add contracts and am semi automated. I look forward to your thread. cheers toucan

Indextrader... Thanks for starting a good thread. A couple of questions: 1. is that tradestation you are using? 2. are the s/r lines you show standard daily pivots 3. if the s/r lines are pivots, then are they calculated using a 24 hours or just usa open hours 4. i assume your...

3 Nq Trades Trade 1 Price moved down from the globex open and dropped below the low of yesterday and then pulled back up. I placed a stop market order at the last swing low. the short trade triggered and price moved down to hit my first target before reversing up and stopping out...

Not much going on today so here is another trade Price moved up from the futures open and tried to break above the daily pivot about 645. After that failure, price pulled back to the low of yesterday and reversed up again. When price got close to the daily pivot, it pulled back a couple of...

Price consolidated along the low of yesterday for most of the premarket morning and pulled back just before the equities open. I placed a stop market order right after the equities open and just below the low of yesterday. The short trade triggered about 15 minutes later and hit both targets.

ok... i'm so used to tradestation showing everything and didn't explain. The first trade was a pullback into the daily pivot about 640am pacific time. The three lines are where the setup occured and estimate what my entry, stoploss and first target should be if the actual entry was at that...

Frosty..... go for it... EDward O Thorp.... A mathematics professor analyzed blackjack and changed that game forever. He was a pioneer in probability theory and after blackjack, he developed and applied his probability theory to hedge fund techniques. I believe his hedge fund has been...

Frost.... I agree with proflogic..... Its probably a good thing that your system hasn't generated many trades. Given the narrow range day we are having.... Your system will pick up more trades later in the week as price movement picks up. toucan
