Yeah, I have a pretty jaundiced eye for sure. Hope springs eternal I guess ...

Anyone here signed up and taken their training? If so, what was your verdict as to value? Best regards, T

Didn’t watch the debate, but announcing to your opponent your strategy of your plans to kill them isn’t exactly the strategy acme of a Sun Tzu general. Possibly his statement may more likely help mark the bottom for the energy sector akin to “Death of Equities” magazine covers.

I too have tried my share of scanners and haven’t found them consistently helpful. Tradestation’s HotLists are interesting, but most have already exploded and are not worth chasing. I am slowly weeding down to a smaller universe of instruments with reasonable, lower frequency volatility so I can...

Vince, Thank you for sharing your journal. Good trading day. Couple quick questions: The capital deployed in each of these varies quite widely as well as the potential return. If the time it takes to analyze an opportunity is roughly the same for every trade, it seems that risking more...

Couldn't agree more. We moved 13 yr ago to a zero income tax state, BUT only after making sure we had the 'people and policy' match as well. Double Eagle. Best to live where your mind and money fits in ... urban or exurban.

The 16th Amendment gave us a 3% flat tax on all over $800 (1861 US Dollars). Consider where the bureaucracy took us and the likelihood of this not ending up as broadly, progressively taxed as before. https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=57

Calvin, Looking forward to your journal, thanks for bringing it here. Alt methods are interesting to me. How about teasing us with a little about the inputs to your model?

There are probably several of us here that would like to get the full tour of a few propshop corner offices (OPM capital sources). Would be instructive to see the journal entries they made to get to that level.

@VLQ20 now gives me "Account not enabled for, so likely that symbol works ... TS support said they expected it would take some time before any volume builds up there. Has some potential I think. Might give that one a try.

Mark, Great, the index is a start. Looks good ... @VLQ still gives "incorrect symbol" when I try to chart it ...

@VLQ and VOLQ were supposedly up for trading Monday. Can't see it in Tradestation yet. Anyone looking into these yet? https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/volq.html Best regards, T

I also think the possibility is high that you have a network related problem. VPS or even a VPN might help if your local internet provider is doing something odd. Two suggestions on improving net reliability. 1. Suggest getting someone with real comm software and networking chops to actually...

ExTwitter CEO (Costolo's) solution is summary death by firing squad for the non-woke ... Just as a practical matter, who should control the guns of government?

Great article Tradex! I had not thought about spreading out to that long of timeframe in my quick tests. Helpful. Tnx! Micaletti got some chops ...

Sometime back I read an academic research report basically saying all the market risk premium came before/after hours. Seemed incredible to me with the volume differences. Individual session change moves can get impressive as heck, but I have yet to run across any strategy with any real...

So we have 10,000 limited vision chartists floating in a wave pool while five pain inflictors running 500hp hydraulic wave generators ring the edges. Sounds about right. The subtlety you mention then boils down to filtering out the majority of the mob’s hand splashes and analyzing only the...

Mick, Serious question about your thinking on this thread. Your comments reinforced TA-As-A-Slaughtermen-Tool in my mind. I am curious if you think TA is 'equally' bad across the board for all instruments ... or possibly some like ETFs comprised of a couple dozen or more stocks might be less on...

‘Strong Market Hypothesis’ begs the question ... can only the ‘higher mind/with experience’ develop the SMH or could GO ‘stumble upon‘ the same. I try to be open minded, but the ‘stumble upon’ method suffers from monkey/typewriter syndrome ... only this monkey can type at GHz speed. The...

The lumber market is not feedstock cost limited. Logs are plentiful & cheap here and in Canada. Mill capacity is limited by high capital requirements and some other issues. Mill margins are very good normally ... and when mill capacity is overrun by demand (like C19 and people migrating to more...
