No doubt someone may find a chart where ES appears to lag YM. But couldn't they also find a chart where that wasn't true? Of course, the proponents of this theory use a 2 min. YM chart and a 5 min. ES chart, which is something that should be considered. I suppose that someone could find a 2...

Give me readership: Jack and Spyder remind me of the King and the Duke in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!

LOL. If I die, the reanimators will work a cure. It is really more amazing than SCT. The head trader is very happy whenever we shake-out those SCT traders.

Failure To Trade is what it is. Those "profitable" ones are breaking the rules. They shouldn't be trading yet. Even if they are, they have no way of knowing that they're doing SCT! It is so ambiguous, like an ink-blot, that it becomes whatever you read into it. Everyone's a genius in a bull...

Hi Arthur, Do you have any comments on their use of STR/SQU -- on the 2 min. YM, in order to guess what will happen on the 5 min. ES.

Isn't ES highly arbed?

The YM STR/SQU? Why don't you guys watch the ES STR/SQU?

Voila! In another front page thread, IB claims they've found a server problem that causes disconnects!

optionamateur0.7, you must do the work! Read between the lines. Trading wisdom is being dispensed here. This thread is not a street; the particpants aren't cars.

Oh yeah, deadband. Indicators need hysteresis.

Well! There's a hole in the ground! Zero price velocity means that price has stopped changing; whether it was going up or down, it has stopped going! That's what those math guys call a turning point (a minimum/maximum?) . Imagine shooting an arrow at the sun: it goes up into the sky and at...

I am stuck with IB at the moment. Have considered DTN IQ and esignal, but want an API so that I can do my own indicators. VWAP, volume by price and rate of change of price change are my concerns. When that rate of change reaches zero, I know that there is an opportunity, however brief, however...

Try reading Bill Cara for a take on the metals.

TWS always craps on me right after entering a trade, too! Are they trying to scare me? That's another use for Yahoo: you can get a recent (within the last few seconds) cash index quote and know where the futures are (don't rely on someone's STR/SQU indicator), if you know what the day's premium...

I am lucky with IB so far. I have taken their money and, despite their best efforts, they haven't gotten it back. Maybe that's why I'm reluctant to trade -- I mean, knowing that they want their money back and can log me out, cut off my quotes, etc. at any time would give anyone pause. Am I...

Yes, IB customers have a lot of issues. Watching Yahoo lets me know where the market is drifting, but doesn't let me trade. You know, an interesting thing is the half-hourly briefing.com summary at Yahoo finance. That guy is so wrong so often. And there are days when the market is up and he...

You are so right, Emil. I have secrets to keep, so you must understand. I am concentrating on the booze and only looking at the market thru Yahoo's eyes. If I see anything happening there, I know it will take so long to get TWS started that the opportunity will be gone. Some may consider me...

I went to the store to buy some grolsch to calm my fibrillating cheart. I forgot the $20 change. Called the store and the clerk didn't remember giving me the change, so they said come back and get it. Am I headed for d*m*n*t*a? Should I stop trading?

Oh, yeah. That must be due to all the comfort, support and whatever that Jack is providing. And, for free!
