    Trading Dummies

    Hardly look at pre market data. Just start watching at the open. However, when I find a gapper I like, I want it to go higher than the premarket high during market hours before considering it. I always trade in the direction of the gap, not comfortable (yet?) shorting an up gap... I...

    Trading Dummies

    Hi, thought I might join and post my dummy trades as well... I trade them for a few months now with very good profits... Keep a spreadsheet of the R/RW and so far I have been very happy with it. I use Qcharts (bec. I love the hotlists....) average hitrate for the last 20...

    Trader P/L 2005

    What are you saying? So all these 2000 traders have been trained by the wrong person? And they should have contacted NNBO instead?:D

    To Apple Computer...

    Holmes, that is why I am - reluctantly- trading on a -god forbid- pretty annoying Windows XP portable... Although this one (Acer 1703) does have a 17 inch 1280 x 1024 screen built in, I much prefer my 1280 x 854 Aluminium Powerbook for all other things besides trading... It weighs only a...

    Investor R/T ProRealtime (java, works very well) Livecharts (java applet, cheap, good hotlists, but short) Interactive Brokers charting (Java, hopefully somewhere in the (distant?) future as good as Prorealtime) Beesoft's ProTA (EOD)

    2b patterns

    I think it was Victor Sperandeo in his first book that coined the term. Methods of a wallstreet master... is the name of the book, I believe.... Allthought written in the eighties it still is one of the best books around, if only for the 2b and the correct (consistent) way of drawing...

    Good vs Bad Breakouts

    Well, they might say they don't but if you are acting in the expectation that something might happen in the future, aren't you in effect predicting? If a trader goes long, he might expect the price to go up -in the future- as it has not happened yet. :)

    Charlie Wright Needs HELP!

    Maybe it is just like trading: as soon as almost everybody agrees the market can only go up, it will go down... as soon as most agree trendfollowing does not work it might work Long term trendfollowing has a history of not working lots of times, just like any other trading method... the...

    Data Speed - Esignal vs Qcharts

    When I compare Qcharts to Interactive Brokers I also notice a tiny lag. If the connection is good, it usually is only 1/4 s. Something like that, but I am not a scalper, so I really don't care But... after all these years of trying everyting, I have returned to Qcharts. Okay for a 1 month...

    trend following delusion shattered

    Do you also cut profits and let losses ride? Don Quichotte also thought to be a trend leader, but without followers there can be no trend... :D

    trend following delusion shattered

    A philosophy? To use in life and trading? You try a lot of things (diversification), but you do not know in advance what will happen, as you can not look into the future. You keep the things that work out as long as they work out(trailing stop), you drop what does not (initial stop) Just do...
