Some are just so afraid of futures for some unknown reason. The above is generally protected against by the broker - so losing more of your account than you have is not likely in this day and age. If daytrading is your goal; then with less than 25k; futures is your only real option. (You...

Can't speak to TN and NC, but I can speak to NW MT. I live in the pink corner by Glacier, and like many other parts of the country, the number of people coming in and driving land and home prices up is absolutely amazing. Contractors coming in and buying the wheat fields and hay fields...

Kinda what I figured and I am not an Excel kinda guy!! Thanks.

Neke, a profit is a profit. Might I ask what you used to produce your chart? Thanks, Make 'em pretty, Chris

Only thing I can think of is to auto hide the task bar, then raise it up so there is more room on the bar for individual tabs. Make 'em pretty, Chris PS 1Reason, forgot about that!!

Preface this with the fact I trade futures, thus adding contracts generally in 1 or 2 or 3 lot increments (or taking them off). I have found that if I simply trade a fixed percentage of my account - generally a fixed percent risk; after each trade happens this is then readjusted with the new...

Now a guy's gonna have to do twice the size to maintain - sure gonna make volume look like it took a big jump. Maybe it will pick up some liquidity - I mostly gave it up after the 10yr took the lead. So I trade twice the volume anyway.

Bernard started a thread here:http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=115824 Some good info. Chris

Yes that is what that means - they will not show up on tape, but they will be reported.

Does anybody really think the consolidation of the US futures markets into one mega exchange is good for traders (other than those who are members or seat holders)? Already got off market block trades in the financials and a loss of market depth - bet we see the commisions up on financials...

http://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/blocktrades.html That is the CME block trading page. Chris

Really am not liking this lack of total volume and the 5 deep depth. T&S is also showing a serious lack of size trading. Gonna have to try and monitor the block trade page and see how that effects things. But so far am still hunting for my setups and they still seem to be showing...

Art, do appreciate your continuing posts here. Just thought up a question, you have no calender biases to the right of the indexes, would that be due to not doing the research or failing to find any corelations to the days of the week etc. Thanks, again Chris And did I miss the year...

What might be the title of the previous journal for some information gathering? Thanks

You are using your cell as a modem then? Did you go wireless or wired and how are you keeping the phone powered? Might I ask what kind of speeds you are getting? Alltel is telling me I can get DSL speeds for roughly 1/2 (a touch more adding another line and new phone dedicated for modem...

This thread has ceased to have any sort of interest at all. With the crap being bantered about. Why is that you self proclaimed wondertraders do not start your own stuff and leave the BS off of here. But I guess it is par for this site in general - just gone down hill and is in a...

Once the methodology is complete and working, this bit here is the most important thing we can work on to truely benefit our trading. One of the best peices of information I have read here in quite a long time. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Actually it must go above the HH (in the case of this pic) to be a real 123 bottom. I too am thankful to KR! Chris

As a top and bottom picker at times, this is where I will often take an entry and then use the HH for confirmation if it breaks then it is most likely a good entry. Stop is placed below the HL. Chris

Been enjoying this thread. The ideas here are very similar to what I have been doing for quite some time. I have found the above to be the main reason that I have been able get to the next level in my trading. For the longest time I was one contract only and missed all the good runs and...
