I have also noticed that on some days the YM data is a few seconds behind. Very frustrating since I rely so much on accurate timely data. I'll be watching my orders wondering why they got triggered on IB then a few seconds later I see the price movement in Esignal. I hope they get that...

You called a bottom. Market didn't care.

If it was a rate cut the futures would be up 25 instead of down 10.

OK!!! Short again!!!! Thats why I'm the flip flopper baby. Damn that GM anal-yst who said no recession in 08... got me to cover my damn shorts. The internals still seem strong but the way the market drops during selling it feels like air under the market... I probably shouldn't be trading...

Just an update for anyone keeping score I covered my short and reversed on the YM... Covered SNDK but didn't go long.

Yeah I guess I was a little stressed and pissed cause I got in the whole so quickly. I generally don't fade strength or buy weakness so today was tough but I switched my strategy after losing 3 trades in a row!!!! I had been on a 12 day winning streak and didn't want it to end so I...

Market = herd mentality Read up a bit on crowd psychology and learn about how individuals act much different then if they were in a crowd. Also read the Tipping Point. This should give you some clue as to what I mean. Good luck to you as well.

Agreed.

Believe me I don't try to out think the market. I consider the market to be full of lemmings and sheep and I try to go with the flow no matter what I think. $100 dollar oil crashing housing market Credit market disaster inflation slowing to negative GDP growth Yet I still went long...

Haaa!!! I've become a contrarian indicator!!!! Well getting chopped up like this is bad for flipflopper cause I usually flip from long to short and vice versa when my stops get hit!!!! Not good for a day like today. Need to pullout after I get stopped out and your long trade starts making...

I guess I'm just frustrated and confused. Been getting whipsawed like crazy. I usually buy strength and sell weakness... so today.... not so good. Ironically I just shorted this last rally cause they've been failing so I'm sure a new uptrend is probably here.

This is beyond choppy. This is multiple failed patterns and pullbacks with decent range and volume. Absolute randomness. If this was how I saw trading everyday I would agree with all the failed and traders and say that markets are random.

I've got one question.... WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! Are you fn kidding me?!?!!? WTF kind of action is this???? Look at that ugly fn chart Getting my ass kicked!!!! Hope things become more "textbook" soon!!! Rant finished.

This is usually a pretty decent indicator. Right now the S&P is down 25 and the ADD is only -645. Generally When the ADD is down 645 the market would be down 5-6 points. Any thoughts on why there is such a huge difference today? I totally got suckered by that rally after the fed minutes...

I thought those bulls got a little fat over the past week!!! http://www.break.com/index/short-fight-fat-kid-knockout.html

That is a good guess but I spent $169 on an Antec TruPower 550 Watt supply cause I knew this rig was gonna be nasty. So I have plenty of pop there. It just seemed like a compatibility issue.

I just went through this a few weeks ago. I first tried 2 ATI cards (can't remember the model) and they didn't work. When both cards were plugged in the computer would crash after a few seconds of booting up XP. Even with the drivers installed. I then tried 2 nvidia 7600's and they work like...

And mind you he does this from his laptop in the bathroom of his Best Western room. He only graduated from puretick 3 months ago too. Very impressive indeed.

I was in the room when you shared your real time calls and they were usually only scalps for a few YM ticks. With an average success rate. But it looks like things have changed. I'm just congratulating you. That's all. You've come a long way. You shouldn't take it as an insult!!!
