My god... that really IS pathetic. Especially, since Muppetsmurf has a history of holding on, waiting for "the imminent death spiral"... but now, suddenly, he has taken profits and exited.???...but then again, who cares if a trader with an imaginary girlfriend posts an imaginary exit on an...

CL Z7 Will probably trade the QM... dont like these spikes, needless aggravation

Thank you guys, could this be an esignal issue, or is it connected to having volume bar charts?

My Volume bar chart shows spikes from 93 to 94 at 9:54 and the same a few minutes later. That is a $1000 per contract move in 20 seconds or so... on 10:30 it shows a $2000 spike. Is this common, is it a charting problem or what? Thanks.

RJ O'Brian I can trade anything I want in my IRA

Thank you! There is some issue - the bigger the position gets, the more a small move with or against you means (it becomes like an avalanche)- so, if you are trading the ES and your trail stop is let's say 2 points away, and you are now trading 20 contracts, you are risking $2000 of your open...

Many thanks Anek. -How often do you keep adding? - same size as original unit or decrease? I heard one good rule, which is don't add unless the stop of the last position would be above (for a long) the entry price of the one before (assuming you have moved the stop up so that the stop of...

Anek, I hope this is not too much of a pain: I swingtrade, in a somewhat similar fashion to what you do scalping...am interested in precisely how you scale up your position if it goes your way... could you direct me to the part in your thread where you discuss your method, criteria etc...

Now this would actually make sense. Not much else does. - It is hard to believe that anybody is that naive or uneducated in trading that he does not know that people are and have been trading succesfully by looking at price information represented on a chart - It is also hard to believe...

Whatever. I give up. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy for you and the originator of this thread: 1. Technical Analysis does not work 2. Ah, but there are examples of people who CAN make it work consistently . But lest your brain gets stuck on Marty Schwartz, let me repeat: Marty is JUST...

1. Definitely unfunny writing, sorry. 2.And no trading value either that I can see: I challenged you is because you started this thread with his asinine premise, while not showing any credibility yourself. Let me explain: Anybody who does really not know that there are SOME traders out there...

So to find out what to think about somebody you check on what "ET ers think about him"? Is that how you arrive at your trading methods? This, again, fits perfectly. It amazes me often how people behave congruent with type. Consensus instead of research. Now let me pose you a question: what...

Perhaps we should look into writing as the quickest way to elevate us into the realm of those who dwell at their Fifth Avenue Offices?

:D :D :D !

Yes! And who cares. I also went to Van Tharp quite a few years back, and I spent even more over the years on my tennis forehand. I believe in paying for advice, IF IT IS GOOD. In order not to be branded a shill for the Prof, all I will say here is that I saw him trade and he can. But this...

Sorry about last post- misstype. What I wanted to say is how does someone with the IQ of a Hydrant come up with a name like Dalai Lama? Perhaps because of the inner peace you create when put on ignore? :)

How does someone with the IQ

My god... don't you ever get tired? I will gladly pay someone $1000- that's a Stop or 2, IF the person can teach me something new and profitable. (Correction: since your stops are moveable events, this analogy does not apply to you). A Stop or Two is nothing in the long run. If I learn just...

Ok, That says plenty about your aspirations and skill level if you think that 4% or whatever it was (about equal to inflation) is an achievement. My point stands: you have NO qualification whatsoever, as far a I can see. But at one point you tried to hawk a service, and it seems you express...

There is a good reason for that, Mr. Canfiel: You have no abilities. Your own track record on your own website, Futures-Systems.com proves that. You disagree? Then please answer me the question: Would YOU have any interest in a person's trading advice that showed a record such as yours? Since...
