    The work is minimal as I have template spreadsheets buried on various harddrives that I need to blow the dust off of. I'm pretty savvy with most things conding. The work required is minimal. My real problem is time which is usually negative for me. My weekends are busier then the work week and...

    Exactly! We miss one trade, who cares. As long as you know that you can trade them. If all you pull out in a day is 2 points, at 10-20 contracts, you begin to put emphasis on enjoying life instead of being worried about bringing home the bacon... All this 3x bickering is not important. Some...

    And how many live trades validate anything? 10, 20, 1000, acording to T6 several thousand??? Nobody is twisting your arm to use the material. You either do or don't. I don't have to twist a needy persons arm to accept my dollar. They either do or don't. Perhaps you missed the posts where...

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    We all know that you failed the test of the material. Your backtest fails the test of the material and as a result you have failed the test of the material. Some people have taken the material and passed the test. The market is the one that administers the test. According to the other thread...

    You and I both know that there is not a single statement that I could make that you would likely agree with. No matter how many different slants, illustrations, explanations, attempts I make, none of it will be aggreeable to you. So let's check where your at with respect to the material. 1...

    POLL for traders who trade the Jack Hershey method(s) in real time with real money

    Not when it's FREE! So when a needy person approaches me and asks for a hot meal or better yet, a buck, which I usually shell out, they don't turn around and ask me to use the counterfeit marker to check the bill before they take it... If they did, would you go get a counterfeit marker to prove...

    IQFEED and IB have always been my work horse as far as data has been concerned. Prophet was for remote stuff and equities since I was not too concerned about immediate data. The move to futures pushed IQFEED/IB. I've had Tradestation for play and now I have Esignal for play. I also have ensign...

    Agreed! Prophet is garbage! I sent in a bug fix several times over the course of a year. It was never fixed. On top of that, they could not render the current bar properly. Everything else for the platform was pretty good and I had the full tilt subscription. I cut them loose when they said they...

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    My point nitro is that there are only three types of basic trades. You are either short/long/out of the market. Weatherman do run their predictions in realtime about something that's going to happen in the future. When you look closely at their models, they are based on precursor conditions in...

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    This is how you see things. So we see things differently and that's ok. When I want to know if it is raining out, I periodically look and check whether or not it is raining outside. I can then periodically recheck to see if it is still raining. This is different then relying on the weatherman's...

    Surf, if you use indicators, would you say that you are connecting dots? If you do use indicators, do you ever generate signals from the slope of your indicator???

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    Here's an exercise I'm sure everyone has had in grade school. For the purposes of your statement, it is the letter "U". As grade schoolers, we were told to connect the dots. When you connect the dots, you get the CONTINUOUS form of the letter U from the DISCRETE form. The first outline on the...

    Here's a trick I enjoy with FBO (reverse). It seams as though you have much of the fundamental stuff down cold. Because I am very tight with my channels, I probably get many more FBOs then most folks do on extended length trends. So, in order to ride the ful length of the trend and therefore not...

    Again, you calculate, what I see. The letter "U" has a point where the derivative is zero. As you can see, that letter's range is finite as is it's domain. Are you saying there is no point along the letter at which the derivative is zero??? If you can not interpret the calculus aspect of this...

    Predicting is ***Unavoidable***

    You call it dot connecting, and you can't evaluate where you have change along the curve without calculating it. I see it, you attempt to calculate it. My ability to see it was a skill I learned in school. It is another example of what I see and what you don't. For you, there is nothing...

    Tick/DOM chart... Have you ever plotted your car's speed in realtime? Probably never as it's something nobody would do. However, if you did, you would see a one period SMA. NOTE CAREFULLY, how this differential is with respect to a second independent variable. If you looked at this plot...
