I've been following it for a while now and I've got to agree with Gary. As far as the "fibonacci cluster" calculator it isn't anything you can't do on a chart if you really want to - but value is limited. I've tried it and there's nothing especially enlightening, it hasn't been as useful as...

I've been connected to a Sterling server for most of the day - Boston seemed to be out of commission earlier though. Re: missing daily bars - I've seen it happen sometimes for some reason but if you switch to a 390 minute chart (405 minute for certain ETFs) the server can usually build the...

liltrdr - when someone says that you shouldn't trade the eminis because trading stocks is better, you've got to step back and consider: 1. Is there an inherent conflict? 2. Do they really know anything about trading futures (the argument that there's no leading indicator misses the fact...

GATrader - the S&P emini value is $50/index point/contract and the SPY value is $0.10/index point/share - so you've got a 500 shares/emini contract ratio

I was under the impression that Baron was just trying to get people to either post their scan logic or the results of their scans for people to see. Not build a scanner.

About the only reason to use a firewall (rather than a router with NAT) is if you actually want to allow selected inbound connections or filter selected outbout connections or if you want to keep a log of how many times someone is scanning your ports or trying to hack you. If you simply don't...

craig - The Apex website still says $6.95/side and no mention of lower than normal margin. Did I look in the wrong place?

60 minute bars are a common timeframe that many traders look at - regardless of whether it produces an "unequal" bar. The datafeed should properly account for this though without including afterhours data in a bar unless you specifically tell it to or requiring that you do anything unusual to...

You might try downloading into a spreadsheet the daily SPX price history from Yahoo or other for whatever time period you're looking for and work it out.

Sam - Your results shouldn't be a surprise - think about it a sec. Nitro made good points. You're trying to buy into a breakout - a breakout implies a surplus of buyers and that people are buying and paying up for it at the same time you're trying to shave a few cents and buy it at the...

Want to venture a guess how many thousands of CMGI traders refused to use stops on their positions because of the fear that they'd just catch a bad day, get their stop tagged, and then it would rebound and leave them in the dust? The guys with the "mental" stop (or mostly "no stop") approach...

Check Blue Cross - at least in Illinois they run commercials about several types of insurance for individuals. They also have small group insurance for small businesses with as few as 2 employees - so if you trade under cover of a business you could set you and your wife up as the two employees...

You might want to check here http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-1041.html?tag=dir The Cnet site is usually a pretty good place to check and compare different equipment.

Brutus - The previous high and low happened to cluster with two SR projections. I've attached a chart from the TP software I'm using that illustrates. Don - Telling people to never use stops is probably the worst bit of advise I've seen you give. You didn't even acknowledge the...

Niterider - might be the way you're identifying your support and resistance . For SEPR today the key SR zones were 13.05-13.06, 12.91, 12.61, 12.30-12.31, and 12.16

It's definitely a caveat emptor deal. Some article a while ago had a pretty good quote about the whole "turning $33,000 into millions" thing - something like "...if I put $30,000 on the pass line at a craps table at Caeser's and threw a seven and then let everything ride six more times and...

Doubtful anyone here would be naive enough to fall for this new Internet con game, but according to the FBI there have been a bunch of people cleaned out by a couple of fairly savvy African gangs and (not to be outdone) the con is even being picked up by some US and European gangs. So let...

larry - For globex instruments, a market order is always transformed into a limit order anyway (limit price determined based on an adjustment factor added/subtracted from the current price at the time you enter the order). And since execution is electronic and there's nobody in the middle...

Zhuge - If your book is any good (i.e., well written and containing new material of interest to a large audience), one of the commercial publishers that specialize in trading books (check out a Borders or Barnes & Noble and note all the publishers who publish trading related books) will...

I suggest you use W2K unless you absolutely have to have some feature that is unique to XP. W2K has had more time to be shaken out and is more stable. Also, I believe XP still has some backward compatibility features to support old hardware and old software which might also make it less...
