Something cool to try in Quotetracker: Right click your horizontal lines on the STR/SQU charts and choose to set trendline alerts. You can use custom audio, use a pop up, etc. What I did is record .wav files of myself saying "STRETCH" and "SQUEEZE" and placed those alerts at +/-3 so if...

You ain't seen nothin :cool: Embrace the bad beats. Idiots getting lucky occasionally are the only reason they stay around for you to take their money later. If there were no bad beats, online poker would be dry as a desert.

what he said.

I think you're overcomplicating things Spectre... In the other thread you said something about using different moving averages as well, now you are talking about linear regressions. All you need is price, volume, and channels to use this method. Can linear regression lines clarify anything...

You are telling me it doesn't fix the "disappearing gaussians" problem? What does it fix? -Pr0crast

Much appreciated... Looks like all of our efforts in emailing them about this may have paid off. I had stopped drawing them altogether because I'd get so pissed when they disappeared on me... (same feeling you get when a power surge fries your computer and you lose a 20 page paper that is due...

Hi Spectre, I myself have not experimented with this. The extent to which we use moving averages (just the 20SMA) is fairly limited in that we use it more as a "guidepost," or something to be aware of and observe, rather than a point of action. If you would like to share any insights though...

Classic Spydertrader quote:

Awesome, awesome morning.

So has the ES.

Me too. IMO poker and trading (not investing) go hand in hand. I played poker professionally (online, part-time) for two years before being turned to trading. Never played very high-- but more than enough for a college student.

Ummmm... a trader should welcome volatility with open arms. That's when a real trader makes the most $$$ (and when the fish lose the most $$$).

We trade by different methodologies, so keep that in mind. Maybe your trade was good in your methodology, I don't know. But I would definitely have been short on the 5th green bar if I wasn't short already. Thus your trade intrigues me. What made you want to go long? I don't have a strong...

Interesting day. Made a lot of great trades, also got chopped up in a couple spots. I also tried covering my PnL today and that did not work out quite as planned. Ended up forgetting whether I was long or short, then cheering at a sudden 3 pt drop thinking I was short when I was really long...

Thanks for comments, all. It appears I have a thing or two mixed up, but I think I have been straightened out (both here and PMs).

Certainly that explains some some of times when those big orders go through, but are you saying that there tends to almost always be a hedge fund that will take advantage of these supply excesses that materialize multiple times an hour? What about the times when the wall holds, with no attempt...

My two cents, based on my limited knowledge... I think its important to keep in mind that the DOM just shows the supply, while the T&S shows the demand. If there is a big wall underneath, this simply means that a lot of people, by their own methods, are long have decided to place...

How big is this big picture?
