I would hazard a guess that he is using stochastics as a directional indicator, not an overbought or oversold indicator. If they are heading up then buy or if they are heading down, short. He is taking a snapshot of the stochastics.

Because it can be a bitch sometimes.

Its ok here at 9:30am. Have had it up since 8am.

I agree with you that Market Depth on the emini's can be full of games, similar to L2 with Nasdaq stocks. However there are times where it can be of some use in exiting a position. With the ES contract, I use it to try and save a few ticks on a stop. If my stop price is hit on a trade then I...

I think one of the problems is that, when you're trade becomes profitable, the R:R becomes less. If a trade gets to within say 1 or 2 ticks of your objective 'at that point' the R:R is terrible. Your mind is aware of this and is always fighting it. You may have brought your stop to b/e (or...

By this do you mean that you wait to see how the market is developing during the opening (say 30mins) and then pick a timeframe where the BB's seem to be working and trade that timeframe for the day? Thanks

Aphexcoil and others: This thread has managed, so far, to stay out of the usual pattern of degenerating into a name calling and off topic exercise. I think, out of respect to Huios, we should try and keep this thread clean.

Thanks:). I look forward to reading your future posts.

Call me cynical but first 3 posts (in just 27mins) all praising Innovative & Protrader. Do you have any affiliation with Innovative or Protrader whatsoever, other than being a customer? Anyway, this thread's topic is about platforms used in conjunction with Interactive Brokers. Please lets...

Hmm, somehow missed this thread a month go. I am a Nextrend/IB combination user. I moved from Realtick when I started trading the emini's and Q's. The charts are a bit more cumbersome on Nextrend but it serves my purposes well. I did run Realtick and Nextrend side by side for a while and there...

This thread has been split and the discussion of Florida politics has been moved to a new thread in the Chit Chat forum. If Tampa, Chasinfla, RS7 etc... wish to continue your discussion please use the new thread. This thread is being kept for traders in FL who want to 'Hook Up' with other...

I think everyone should be aware of this guys agenda before listening to him. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=105368#post105368 I have already had to delete a couple of his threads from the 'Hook Up' forum.

ok here at 9:58 EST. Edit: Oops. Spoke too soon. Also down.

I moved this thread to the 'Trading' forum as it took on a life of its own and became a trading thread as opposed to a "Hook Up' thread. I would suggest that if you wish to continue to hook up with other UK traders that another thread be started and kept on topic.

Gazmax ES and NQ do not trade between 15:15-15:45 Central Time (16:15-16:45 Eastern Time). This is in the afternoon. (24hr clock)! If you look at a chart of either of them, you will see a gap after 4:15pm EST. They stop trading on a Friday at 4:15pm EST and open up again on Sunday at, I...

I don't know about anyone else but I don't think my psyche can handle consistently having 9 losing trades in a row, sometimes with the odd 20, 30 or 40 trade losing streak.

I got the rebate. Free commissions for me this month.:) Luckily, I didn't get caught in any postions or miss any entries due to it.

ROFLMAO :D :D :D

The one difference between a successful trader and an unsuccessful trader is that the successful trader didn't quit.

Could you please expand on your reasons for this. I am getting ready to set up a back-up broker to IB and would be interested to hear you expand on this a bit. Do you have any affiliation to them other than being a customer? Have you tried multiple brokers? Thanks
