Be careful in this asumption. The statement you made makes sense in a logical and rational world, but in the world of trading that mostly doesnt exist. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that just because "xyz report was higher then expected", the market should go up when its selling off...

OK, i getcha now:p

I dont follow. What's so bad about trading futures as opposed to the corresponding ETF???

Never understood this, if you're going to trade an ETF, why not just trade the future? More bang for your buck. Also, No day trading restrictions, more leverage, easier to short, and I think more liquid. Just curious..

LOL

Oscillators are great for range bound days. (take your pick stochastics, MACD, RSI, etc) They look great in hindsight but how you decide that today is range bound as opposed to a trending day while its happening is beyond me. I used to play oscillators but found them to produce more false...

Im guessing you got the same mass email that I did. Im going to pass on it, but it could have some value, never know.

hmm..anyone know if they are hiring??? lol

ok, i follow now. Thanks!

hmm.. I wonder if anyone is willing to post a picture of something like that. I j/ never knew of anything that could give you the number of shorts vs. number of longs.

I'm just curious, how does your volume indicator decipher longs and shorts? Or is it simply up and down volume???

Thats why i gave up on divergence trading. It seems that every divergence trade was against the major trend. Good luck and more power to you to try and fight the trend, not for me. -Nick

Im just curious. If you were doing well in futures why did you go to stocks. I only trade futures and couldnt imagine trying to trade stocks. I guess the old saying goes, "if it aint broke, dont fix it" -Nick

Tradestation does for sure. -Nick

Romik, Thanks for the response. I'm always curious to see what other traders are looking. I think it boils down to personality. If having 3 oscillators works for you, which is seems to be, thats great for you. I think i would fail miserable with that type of system. I guess thats why the...

Im just curious why you use 3 oscillators. To me, and again this is just my opinion, they tell you the same exact thing. I like to keep things simple. Just wondering thats all, dont mean to step on anyone's toes by any means. -Nick

How about when your matrix, along with everyone else's goes down at the same time, and you call and get a busy signal. Then you sit and watch helplessly as your money disappears from your account and you literally cant do anything but hope and pray. I think thats what he means by customer...

Im just curious to see if anyone here looks at sentiment indicators such as Put/Call ratio, VIX, AD-Line, etc. Im partial to the VIX since its a nice contrarian indicator. Keeps me out of alot of "iffy" trades. -Nick

I can understand where that might make sense in some trading systems. I have looked at doing something like that, but I found that I was getting conflicting signals sometimes ( eg. a 3 min buy signal, but a 15 min sell), and found myself questioning myself. I firmly believe in keeping things...

I dont know how some of you guys watch so many time frames. I find paying attention to one time frame in 3-5 markets is more then enough. I guess to each his own. -Nick
