marketsurfer, are you still holding your shorts? CROX is currently at $58.01 by the way...

Gads I got chopped up today. That sucked.

the man is keepin you down, dog.

500 constant volume and 1000 constant volume charts, and 5000 and 25000 constant volume charts for reference. Yeah, it's been really trendy after that choppy patch between 9:50 and 10:05 eastern. Guess I was looking for a reason to complain and/or post...:eek: This is the YM...

After the initial opening thrusts, looks to be a bit choppy on the YM. HL and LHs, LLs and HHs... I guess I have a bit of a hard time waiting sometimes. And thanks for the congratulations, but thanks for the thread more importantly. I owe it to you and the peeps contributing here.

106 points in the YM today. This is as close to the zone as I've ever gotten. I haven't got the hang of entry with the 3sma+1 shift, though. Anek, may I ask how are you using it for entries?

Oh, I agree. I absolutely agree, you could make alot of money with this as the money management part of your strategy. The thing is, you haven't given us the rest of the strategy, though. What are your triggers? What are your setups? How do you determine your stops? I mean, aren't you...

hmm, I'm guessing this puts alot of pressure on the actual trading strategy to be right pretty quickly... For entertainment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28probability_theory%29

Looks to be about as smooth as a baby's bottom compared to constant volume bars in the YM...

bmw, I think Stealth Trader said he is using constant tick bars and from looking at the chart, it looks to be the ES 10,000 contracts per bar. It's something ensign software does, but apparently very few other packages. To whoever was asking about similarities with Proflogic's methods...

This is kind of right and kind of not right. The new oil field found in the Gulf of Mexico and that's not come online yet, The shale belt in the western US is now booming because only recently it's become technologically and financially feasible to convert shale to oil, two anecdotes that...

Actually, it does matter if its $10 or $1000... my .02

The thing is, buyers can be sellers 20 minutes later and vice versa. The market participants change all the time, as well as the traders on the sidelines, waiting to become buyers or sellers... The clearest I've ever heard it explained is: The force that moves the markets is market...

YM is 476 to 517. Looking for a break 1 tick above or below that... Filled at 5:53 short 474 (slippage) - stopped out 30 seconds later for -10.

YM was long at 13454, stop moved to BE+1, price came down and stopped me out at 13455. +1 tic, minus commission (-1 tic, more or less) It's a wash on the day. I'm working on a script that will trail the stop by 4 ticks after the stop is moved to breakeven plus 1, so that I will scalp a...

Hear hear on Buffy's bline!

Welp, hard drive failure on the system partition onf the trading machine last night so no trading for a little bit. I'll continue posting trades on the YM soon as I can, D.

DHS, I might have to. The YM just doesn't move as much. Considering these plays on the russell are worth 20 dow points each way, and I am only trying to capture half that (10 points). We'll see. It's good that we are trying this out on both instruments so that we'll know.

Unfortunately I couldn't trail the stop today, since the spike got me into the trade and immediately reversed into the red, and price never became green before the 1 minute time stop stopped me out. I'll definitely move the stop up to breakeven +1 when I get the chance on upcoming trades...

hmm, my math doesn't add up. forgot the commission on yesterday's roundtrip. -1 tick. So that makes... YM - 2 days, 3 trades 1 win 2 losses -1 tick net Observation: today, the 1 minute time stop worked against me. The trade would have worked out in about 5 minutes. A spike...
