    Does anyone know the INDU symbol for IQ Feed? I did a search on IQ and it resulted in dozens of possibilities.

    Has anyone setup the STR/SQU in Ensign? If so, I would appreciate some help.

    That's interesting but not consistent with my datafeed. Using IQFeed with Ensign, there was a notable difference in the data as Steve mentioned, particularly in the range. Must have something to do with the feed/chart settings...I don't know. I was using the continuous feed symbol, but for...

    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    I struggle to correctly see market direction early in the day. Most often my first papertrade of the day goes against me because I misidentified a channel or ftt. I also feel I need to concentrate more attention on understanding/interpreting Gaussians. John

    I believe was is confusing to me about these recent FTT's is that I thought an FTT could occur ONLY after price had touched the RTL and then subsequently failed to retrace to the LTL. In Spyder's orange channel, it appears to me that price did touch the LTL after pt 3 and then attempted to...

    This is my 5th day plotting channels as I was late to discover this thread. I've read most of the material and intend to read everything again this weekend. My biggest hurdle has been in recognizing the pt 3 in real time. I hope that I will get a better feel for identifying these points...

    First attempt at posting daily ES. I was late to this party but I've spent the last 10 days (and untold hours!!) reading all of the material. I think I did OK for my first day....caught most of the ftt's I believe. ps. the purple verticle bar is my candle countdown timer John

    Simple Profitable Method

    I trade the YM and the NQ.... I was having the same problem. What worked for me was shifting the 9sma +1. That gets me in at a decent level and I can ride most of the move. The 3 sma worked, no doubt about it, but I was getting whipsawed too often for my personality type. Additionally...

    Simple Profitable Method

    BB, I noticed that my charts are different also. I'm guessing it's the differences in the data providers. I've noticed this with other posted charts as well. I do find it interesting, and somewhat disturbing, that different vendors paint bars/candles differently but I guess that's the way it is.

    Simple Profitable Method

    BB, What time do you begin your daily chart? I'm papertrading the YM also. Do you use a 24 hour chart? I've been starting my chart at 9:30 eastern to coincide with the equity markets, but I think that's throwing off my MACD indicator. At what time did you get the MACD ZLC down? Thanks...
