    Would you give up a steady job to Trade?

    I think Richard Dennis has proven this to be an incorrect statement. It simply requires the necessary discipline to do what has to be done; the proper amount of money, following rules precisely, etc. Make 'em pretty, Chris

    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    I missed the previous Woodie discussion, but have the impression that it was not pretty. I have known or talked with Woodie, via the web, since he started this round of rooms, (he did it many years in the past). Been 2 yrs and 2 months now - and I have been impressed with his willingness to...

    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    tampa, it does me good to see you once again behind the keyboard. Did you happen to give up the orange juice (the coffee sub)? And it has probably been years since I read through the meat of your journal here, but did you not at some point in the past attempt Woodies cciclub? Make 'em...

    Time Spent Doing "Homework"

    My homework simply consists of going over the couple of charts I watch and analysizing my trades or trades I thought I should of taken. Then perhaps a bit of going over a different chart with my set up to see how it may have performed. I trade futures. I said 0-1. Make 'em pretty...

    Manual Backtesting

    The second in not a conclusion of the first. The second is simply a statement that I have come to believe. I use a couple of indicators to trade with - they, as we all know, are based on price action. Regardless of what price does the indicator will respond the same way. i.e. a 20 ema...

    Manual Backtesting

    Unable to automate backtesting I cannot compare the two. I have found manual backtesting to give me the confidence in seeing the setup and the results of the setup. Setup the chart with what is desired and scroll back a few months and then scroll forward one bar at a time (day, 5 min, 89...

    Learning to trade ZB

    The bonds can move 24 ticks (24/32) where the 10 may only move 30 ticks (15/32) and the 5 yr may only move 18 ticks (9/32). There is a larger money range in the ZB. How does one really know what is a day or longer term trade? That being said - Bonds I get the feeling that more are day (just...

    Learning to trade ZB

    1. ZN, the 10 yr notes has 2 to 3x the volume of the 30yr. And the ZF, 5yr notes has almost double the 30yr. 2. ZB (30), ZN(10), ZF (5) are all electronic - US, TY, and FV are the pit versions. 3. IB or any direct access broker will work - I use IB, only electronic markets are traded on...

    Learning to trade ZB

    I like 5 ticks in the bonds and 10 ticks in the notes - 4 for me seems to get taken alot, perhaps it is that round # thing. Make 'em pretty, Chris

    Learning to trade ZB

    ACTIVE hours are the same as the pit. I tried something on the es a bit and it worked ok, but bonds are where I have always been and I prefer them. No that method of scalping does not transfer well to the notes or bonds. Make 'em pretty, Chris P.S. charting is sierra with IB.

    Learning to trade ZB

    Most folks are using the trading pit times, 7:20 to 14:00 central time, to calculate the pivots and some are using the pit data, and still trade the electronic. Make 'em pretty, Chris
