fwiw, a bears last stand is the END of a bull market. bull markets NEED bears to continue the bull run . see: wall of worry. it is capitulation of bears (and their stops getting hit/margin calls) that helps fuel the upwards rise. this happens over and over during bull markets as brief (and...

it obviously depends on WHERE you set the limit order if the YM is trading 11350 and you set a limit order at 11300 you may not get filled :) fwiw, I had a limit order fill for a position trade (not an intraday scalp) on YM, that took 3 days to fill at 11305. got filled yesterday...

generally speaking, a limit order means u are letting the market "come to mohammed" to paraphrase vs. "chasing" specifically, with index futures, most of the time these things are not trending (except horizontally ) any significant period of time. it is, in general, imo, putting...

in futures scalps i use limit orders for entries about 90% of the time most of my setups involve letting the market come to me, so this works fine, gives better entries and better risk/reward this is also true for the vast amount of swingtrade stock entries i make and the vast majority of...

i also want to mention thisis why i started being bullish on Nikkei about a year ago just exceptionally cheap relative to US equities and coming out of a looooooooooooooong bear market

i am somewhat a contrarian. i was buying gold before it was a bull market (last several years) admittedly because i thought it was incredibly oversold and cheap relative to stocks. and prices ALWAYS regress to a mean. however... this has been a very short bull market in gold thus far...

i don't know enuf about oil to have an opinion. i've traded it intraday on pure technicals, but other than that... i do like some of the stocks like CWPC (been in it for several months), and BCON that play off of oil scarcity and new technology. i also hold BR in my IRA and like it's...

wow. you are my hero i mean seriously. i just find IB's charts so horrid, that i am impressed you can trade with them. props to you

yes. i do too. IB seems a little "whacked" as for Backfill. sometimes it is quick. sometimes, there is a several second lag. i get the impression this is IB not QT. i like forex through IB/QT, but i need to look at longer term charts too on forex for the "bigger picture" i think...

the above post should read "for ***BOOK TRADER***... not (for bracket trader) obviously...

i really don't care about IB charts, nor do i want IB to spend any time in their charts. get rid of them for all i care. improve the trading interface. let others provide charting (medved et al). for bracket trader, i would like to see the ability to add buttons such as seen in other DOM...

among other reasons why game theory works is that it, like trading , is based on a derivative of behavior iow, traders behave based on - a trader buys because he thinks other traders will think other traders think it is a buy - think about that long and hard. it is the essence of the...

"Another point, its easier, buit not easy , to trade on the probability that SPY,ES, DIA,YM daily- weekly,daily trend is up; but see what happened yesterday afternoon.-countertrend-intraday." however, other signals CLEARLY indicated a reversal yesterday 1) the DOW had 7 up days in a row...

candles, like charts themselves are just a tool they are not "useless' on intraday (or any time frame). however, in and of themselves, they do not make up a robust trading system. all they do is help visually model a series of prices over a given time frame. that is what ALL charts...
