No code tweaking needed ... in your active chart, bring up the active indicators, and properties for the MA in question. In the Displacement value, change it to whatever 'shift' (offset) you want, such as -1 or +1.

\ Useless in this market -- the 'cushion' is nothing compared to the major moves we're seeing. Wait for a more sideways-to-slightly-bullish market before doing CCs......

At least I think it's SUPPOSED to be a joke....... http://strategerycapital.com :(

Dunno why, that makes absolutely no sense from a brokerage perspective. If that's IB's policy, I'd trade elsewhere!

Try Gainskeeper?

I just added to my SDS position sooner than I had planned.....just to be safe. Earlier tonight when I saw the stories on Bloomberg about things like tax breaks, arrowmaker protection, and other niche projects commonly tacked onto must-pass legislation, I got this queasy feeling that the House...

Neither ... the price and volume data does, as do things like DJ Newswire and Bloomberg Terminals. By the time any news hits the TV or Internet news sites, it's already been traded and the traders are ordering steak dinners. :) That said, Bloomberg doesn't goof around, editorialize, or...

Yep. I'm normally flat before heading out to the gym and to run mid-day errands. Lets me clear my head and focus myself, plus it keeps me out of the lunchtime doldrums on the ES. :)

Just saying "buy this many of that symbol on this date" while offering no analysis, no accounting for position risk, p/l targets, or broader market conditions tells me you're simply offering random and shrill "BuyBuyBuy!" noise. Any of us here could randomly pick symbols and say "go buy it"...

Anyone know what's on the SEC's mind for the end of the first SEC shortsales ban this week? Renewing it? Nixing it?

Welcome Chris! 1. Average trades per day, week, or month? On futures, 3-4 per day, roughly. Today I overtraded quite successfully for a bunch of 'base hits' (kind of hard not to scalp like crazy today on top of looking for planned trades) but normally 3-4 quality trades/day is the average...

Geez, did Bloomberg buy the Magic Jack recently? Every effing commercial break for the past week or two includes the 60-second informercial for the damn thing......reminds me of how CNBC used to innundate us with Ditech mortgage ads "back in the day" of surprime glory. Ugh. Thank gods for...

Still early, and not everyone's open yet (or awake) overseas. But yeah, I'm not too bloody impressed with our Congress, either. What a bunch of buffons.

That's Melissa Lee. Yeah, she seems to have a clue and is more than just an eye-catching female newsreader. Saw her on MSNBC this morning and she's a bit more competent than others in their ranks. (BTW I think Melissa Lee does a better job hosting 'Fast Money' than Dylan ... though during...

...and why I was using NT today and tomorrow to do some research on some ideas/setups of my own, because it's free for such purposes. It may not be as robust or elegant as TS, but I can't argue with the price and fact the NT folks seem to take a much different approach to NT marketing and...

To my knowledge there is no demo of their software and papertrading is only available to their users and/or by folks for a premium fee. I seriously considered TS as a futures broker and strategy development playground but if I can't test the platform before I open an account, I won't touch...

Part 2 of the movie ... same 'scene' but new dialogue, obviously done in the past day or so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfvIstgOugc

OMFG I needed that...... LOL

Me too ... not 26 hours but today's backtesting day for me on a few ideas just for goofs and grins. I still trade manually, but want to see if what I'm doing have any merit. Not sure if I'd ever do a total automated strategy, though .. just not 100% comfy with them.

Sounds like they're trying to get a jump on the next tidal wave of credit problems -- school loans, consumer debt, credit cards, etc. I still think this plan is a crock and only addresses the short-term symptoms not root problem. :(
