    What changed in 1980

    Maybe Typhoid Mary / ground zero was 10 years prior. Big government spending leading to rational purchase of USD and exchange for gold. French 747 cargo filled with gold leaving New York. Nixon ends gold standard . Tick....Tick...ever since and maybe as simple as that. Or.....those damn...

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    There seems to be a lot of opportunity in the 1 and 4 hour timeframe , as you spoke of RiskAddict, and I am attempting to do some testing on S/R levels with Market Profile concepts in VBA. Im going to try to cobble together some data through IB's DDE interface but it does supposedly have...

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    I have a question on my mind for those such as Woodyk, NoDoji and other day traders. If you have identified a higher or highest expectancy setup that happens at lower frequency why not watch multiple markets CL,ES,EUR,JPY,ZN simultaneously ? I understand that that would be a lot...

    Can it be done?

    It must be truly rewarding to achieve your level of high percentage profitability. How many years did it take. Say five and I will spit! Congrats. No intention to cross or conflict with other ET "real deals" posts regarding size. I just haven't seen this type of consistency being the...

    I've concluded its impossible to day trade index futures manually

    A simple price action approach

    Substance and content from a veteran trader on a good Price Action thread and Ammo is Critiqued for grammar? Tough crowd. Dead Sea Scrolls are fair game if there is something to it.:) Back to my Shakespear

    $/Yen

    Wiki.... "The SIF Law does not specify any detailed investment restrictions or leverage rules. It simply states that a SIF should apply the principle of risk diversification." Call me dumb but does your opening refer to a crowded / cant miss trade that could blow up? What if "it"...

    Why was the market so slow today?

    Sp500 1510 was cleared and is holding as dollar and bond look to have completed Bear flag. Can't go straight up everyday. Any headline data point will do. Euro and Sp500 up and USD and treasuries down this week. Just my opinion.

    What the hell is causing this extreme constant bullish move in the Dow??!

    Quote from eurusdzn: Euro higher and higher has gotta stop else SP500 goes higher. . euro/spy and bonds/dollar locked and synced up nicely here. Maybe "he", "they" , want or can tolerate some inflation here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

    What the hell is causing this extreme constant bullish move in the Dow??!

    Bonds began selling off with QEternity. (Mid Nov) The down trend channel is becoming more obvious. Looking back further to JUL25 Drahgi OMT and euro tail risk gone it is a 6 month down channel. Fridays action alone snapped two weeks of surprising yeilds dropping with stocks rising. Why not...

    interactivebrokers really screws up

    Old time, I read that you trade 6E ? You have a profitable position and want to buy to Close and cannot? I am an IB customer. What do I need to know here? What if the position was large and not in your favor? Thanks.

    What the hell is causing this extreme constant bullish move in the Dow??!

    "Melt up" frustrartes many people including me. We have seen a few of these runs in recent years. I wonder if EOD swing trading in this environment is more difficult than day trading or the same?

    When is a swing point significant, in your opinion?

    In TESTING, not actual results, my best definition of a "swing" on EODD data is ( 60-70% profittable, decent MAE, expectancy, PF ) , so not classic MR as I understand it. It excludes the recent price behaviour of the likes of RIMM, BAC, FSLR, NFLX. My only point here is those 4 have...

    I had a woman once chalenge me that anger is just "hurt" in every case. Sometimes a "cigar is just a cigar" I replied, but in each case she would state a convincing argument. "Men just substitute anger for hurt" So , the next time Mr. Market knocks me down and takes my lunch money of...
