Hello, Sorry I didn't mention it in my initial post, yes, I trade the ER2. I should also clarify that when I say point, I'm talking about a .10 move, i.e. the minimum movement of the ER2. Thanks for the kind words, chaps. I can't let it go to my head though, else I'll give all those...

I've been trading the basic principles in T28's method (with money) for 5 weeks now. Results are very satisfactory, averaging just under 30 points per week. To put that in perspective, I'm aiming for an average of 8 points per week in order to achieve my desired performance level. Early...

Thanks chaps, very useful stuff there. Appreciated.

Is there anybody here on ET who swings a fair sized line in the ER2? I'm curious as to how well it can absorb 60, maybe 100 contracts at a clip. Really, I'm just trying to find a practical limit to the amount of contracts one can trade without drama regards getting filled or moving the...

Sorry to be the realist here, but if you've never traded before, and you're starting with $10k, expecting to make a living out of day trading, you're almost certainly going to lose the lot. Unfortunately that is just how most people learn to trade, by losing money. Me, I only learned my...

Correct procedure is to keep insisting on the market direction until your call is proven right by chance. At least that's how I understand it to work...

Haha. I don't understand why these market 8 ball types love to spend so much of their time telling everyone else what's going to happen. The adage still stands; He who makes predictions for a living, make a lot of them.

If you keep repeating it every week BlueStreek then eventually you'll be proven right. :D Reminds me of the old adage; If you make predictions for a living - Make a lot of them.

Oh yeah, it's a biggy alright.

Well i've just borrowed $1 million from a loan shark at a very uncompetitive rate of interest to buy Google based on this advice, I hope it works out.

Economies of scale, old chap. And to the chap who inquired as to the stop i'm using, it's up to 30 points (or $3 if you measure it that way). Often you'll know if it's not working before 30 points is reached, as the MACD signals & entry pattern will have gone pear shaped. I'm not...

Just to stick my considerable oar in a bit; Over the last couple of weeks i've been experimenting with 10 & 60 minute charts in place of the 2 & 10. Same methodology as described by T28, just larger time frames. The perspective is kept the same. I find the commissions a considerable...

Yeah, if you couldn't make money this afternoon following T28's rules, then you should pretty much just give up now.

Good fellow, life is far too important to take seriously. :D

There's no justice in the world. :)

Personally I feel the best information in this thread can be found in the first few pages. The waters became predictably muddier the longer the discussion and questions went on, as always happens. I believe Trader28 said something to the effect of "it's as complicated as you want to make...

Your help and ongoing support has been much appreciated, trader28. Thanks very much, best wishes.

Roger that, Captain.

Pretty decent day, really. Unfortunately I haven't been sharp enough to catch any of the moves. I'm still adjusting to the pace of 2 minute charts (after being used to significantly longer time frames), but i'm sure it'll come easier with practice. Do you find it best simply to go away and...

Ok, i've got a fix for that problem now. This is the answer I got from Quotetracker support for anyone else who needs it for future reference; "QT assigns a timeframe for the chart based on the site/symbol from one of the defined timeframes in the Timeframes list. This is not a settings...
