The reason I ask is that I have become more chart oriented, as I think about 90% of the financial media is noise and crap in this environment, and do not want to spend a lot of time evaluating stuff like this if there is already a general concensus

Just signed up for trial subscription Anyone have opinions on this one? Overall: valuable or worthless? Specific content: valuable and worthless parts?

Some of this has probably already been said, I didnt take the time to read all of the posts. Here is my experience with elliot wave. They make a prediction - if things don't turn out as they said, then the offer an "alternative wave count" to explain what happened. They rarely admit...

I think he may have some skill in determining market direction. However, as someone mentioned above, the writing style is cryptic, and has a lot of noise in it (tiresome "baby boomer rock-n-roll" lyrics, childish "hoofy & boo" references, "schvitzin with gamma etc", patronizing "priority"...

(PS: Did you get the EFS???) yes, thanks, check your e-mail

I've opened an IB account, but I am wondering - does Ameritrade have crappy fills? It just seems to be more than a coincidence that as soon as the fill is made, the tick goes the other way, and that it seems like the trade takes as long to go through as it takes to get the worst fill that can...

I'm not kidding Opened an account yesterday with IB Test is easy, for each question, simply pick the choice that says "in this scenerio, the customer is screwed"

New download, has intraday backtesting - pretty cool Anyone tried it? - any comments?

leakage - exactly what trader 1 is going to do is make a gift to holders of those losing low volume stocks, holder he will never meet - very generous as far as what he pays trader 2, anything over 10,000 is over the limits for gift tax so what he would probably end up doing is paying a...

I have Metastock, TC2000 and e-signal, and I'm thinking of getting rid of Metastock. I realize that only Metastock and TC2000 overlap, but I am wondering - Does anyone think Metastock is worthwhile? I seems almost worthless for scans, and it's backtesting, which TC2000 does not have, seems...

IMO, by providing the support needed to prevent a crash, the "big boys" are able to continue a long distribution in which they are able to get out of their holdings, while keeping enough "hope" alive so that the little guy holds the bag. How many non-traders do you know that have completely...

Somewhat of a continuation of the "what 3 stocks would you trade thread", this is "How would you do it?" 1) Daily charts? 2) Intraday Charts? - What timeing period - hourly, 30, 15, 10, 5, 1 min charts? - What indicators? Candle, MACD, stochastics etc?

also, hold overnight or flat end of day

for trading these three stocks 1) Daily charts? 2) Intraday Charts? - What timeing period - hourly, 30, 15, 10, 5, 1 min charts? - What indicators? Candle, MACD, stochastics etc?

I keep hearing about trading E Mini s. As I understand it, they are some sort of futures. In a nutshell, 1) What are they? 2) Why are they so popular? 3) What are the pros and cons of trading them?

At best, this takes us back to 1998, when inspections were taking place with endless games. Don't get me wrong, I have some questions about the necessity for a war, but guys like Sadam are master of the bad faith negotiation make the deal, break the deal, negotiate a compromise to resolve...

One other important thing I forgot to mention: If one is taking a string of losses, then one should slow down or even stop untill it can be determined what is wrong. So to put it simply, is the trader in control of himself? If not, he is overtrading.

I think the number one issue for a new trader is to learn the ability to take a quick small loss when the trade does not go as expected. This seems to be the hardest lesson to learn. Put another way, the ability to close a trade as readiliy as one is opened. Once this is mastered, then...

I think the mission of the market at this point is to wear us down and either chop us up with whipsaw or burn us out with boredom. The key will be to preserve capital and sanity for the period when this phase is over, which could be any length of time. I made the mistake of being to far...

All you can ever do is look at charts and verify for yourself Looking at obv, it called almost perfectly the tech wreck. It also called the drop in many financial, blue chip stocks etc this year. But all that means is that it worked in these instances. You will need to look at many...
