I just watched Market Delta Simplified. You can change the colors. Maybe you are refering to some other part of their product. (?) I think I have to watch the other vidoes by them. Hope this isn't a waste of time. It seems incredibly abstract compared to a tick chart. Stephen Szpak

Trying to load chart (again).

Here is a tick chart for a part of Monday morning's trading. There are a lot of 1/4 point moves here. Is is really just a matter of going long (forget about going short for now) at each support level. If the E-mini S&P 500 moves down 1/4 point, then just exit the long position. See...

I don't quite understand what you've said here. You say I should watch the market in depth, but NOT to use charts? Please clarify if time permits in a day or two. Stephen Szpak

I can also put in the orders to exit at the high I choose, and also a stop-loss too correct? S. Szpak

syrre This is from oasismanagement.com: Limit - Is an order which is to be filled at that stated price or better. Or better means a lower than the stated price for a buy or a higher than the stated price for a sale. I guess that's what I'm asking. So I put in a limit order with...

syree Thanks for the feedback. This is a stupid question, but like I wrote a few minutes ago, if I'm doing this electronically (E-mini S&P 500) and the price is jumping up and down a few times a minute between 1235.00 and 1235.50 how can I be sure I'm going to go long at...

Thanks Albert. I'm sure others will get in here now. I was told that: "The ES trades in .25 increments and they are worth $12.50 each. " by a previous poster somewhere. So I was thinking that a 1/2 point move would be $25 minus $5 (????) in commisions. There were alot of $20...

Thanks for replying Albert. I can't trade but I do try to learn about it. Yes it is a real question (which gives you a feeling for my knowledge base). As for the 1 period moving average, I like to use it on 1 minute bars only (at this point). It seems to help me see what's going on...

I was just wondering what would be the smallest move that could be reasonably traded on the e-mini S&P 500. I've tried to include a graph of some recent trading. Won't know if it works until I post I guess. I was thinking about the small moves from about 14:03 to 14:35 in the...

This is quite comprehensive. Stephen Szpak

I came across this recently. It's NOT what was originally wanted but does contain some abreviations and such. It's better than zero. Click on "F" to see. http://www.oasismanagement.com/glossary/u.html?/glossary/u.html Stephen Szpak

A little more from Stephen Szpak: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/vega.asp Also more from: http://www.oasismanagement.com Vega - Is the measure of change in an option given a change in the volatility. Theoretically, it measures the instantaneous change in premium to the...

Quote from richardyu301 So if I long ES at 1200 and buy a ES put at 1100. It still doesn't guarantee that I will lose 100 pt at most UNLESS the option premium totally reflect the underlying assets value. The way I understood it, is that a large and fast move in the underlying will...

In the event the emergency occurs, you exercise the put if necessary which then sells the ES. It is assigned to someone short the put. from OldTrader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When an ES options is exercised, an actual ES contract is not...
