    I am pretty low tech and will testify that putting the pivot formula's into an excell spread sheet is pretty easy to accomplish. You can google pivot points for the formula and google some basic excell lesson's.

    Daytraders ONLY - Execution, Hotkeys, Setup ?'s

    You might want to consider whether your "set-ups" are realistically valid. By that I mean, can they be traded in a "real time" atmosphere? I have found that there are a lot of great "mind" trades and set-ups, but a strategy must be executable. It is possible to day-trade successfully at...

    The Golden Age for ES Traders

    Even though volatility has contracted to < 20 handles the past 4 days, this quarter has been extremely accomodating for ES day trading. I hope many of you have had a very profitable 1st quarter of 08. May it continue !!!!

    Bright trading and any thoughts

    It is almost impossible to give you an "idea" as to whether you would walk away from these "training" sessions with any more knowledge than you walked in with. Each person comes in with a different level of trading knowledge. You will not get instructions on a systematic way to pull money out...

    IBKR (Interactive Brokers) getting POUNDED!!!!!!!

    I would bet that ibkr is fairly hedged againt their own naked calls and naked put positions. Their biggest losses will probably be from large clients and institutions that were sellers of bsc puts and are now long the stock on margin from much higher levels. Many of these clients will need...

    wtf is this 4+ price about??? BSCrap?

    You might want to think about what bsc is now. It is a per cent of jpm, thus it will move in proportion to its' value using the per cent of jpm for each share of bsc.

    “Teach Me to Trade”

    How sad that one bad apple gives this industry a black eye. There are thousands of promoters, who out of the goodness of their hearts, are trying to be charitable and teach everyone on earth how to make easy money, just like they do. For a fee, of course.

    The best ES "day trading" mkts in years

    The "trendiness" combined with the ranges, is making this quarter one of the best for day-trading the ES in many years, for me. I am socking away a large per cent of my money for the "rainy day" when the chop returns and the ranges contract, but for now, may it continue, please. I hope all...

    Switching out processors, help needed.

    To all, Thanks for the reply's. All great advice. You got me to thinking that is might not make any sense for me to put this processer onto a mobo with only 133 fsb. Most of the mobo's now are running 1333 fsb. I'll probably just "bite the bullet" and get a new system with an e6550...

    Switching out processors, help needed.

    Any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated: It is time to upgrade my processor.... Is it possible to replace a Pent D with an e6550 or an e6850? From Belarc (current set-up): Processor: 2.67 gigahertz Intel Pentium D 16 kilobyte primary memory cache 1024 kilobyte...

    Range of ES commissions?

    I know you posted regarding commissions, but this comment below is part of the equation. I have found trading 20-30 RT's per day on the ES to be both exhausting and unsustainable, in the long run (5-10 years). I used to do it. Now I just wait for a few good set-ups each day and take the...

    Range of ES commissions?

    Anything >$5.00 RT is overpaying and not necessary. Anything <$5.00 RT only becomes significant if you are doing more than a few hundred RT's per month. Execution, fills, and stabilization of platform are, also, extremely important.

    I never saw volatility like this

    I bought the last pull back to the PP at 1297. I just exited at 1343. The funny thing is, it felt like I have been in this for a long time, yet I just got in a little over an hour ago. This is insane. lol

    I never saw volatility like this

    Over the past 2 years the daily range on the ES was most often around 10 handles, with many days below 10. The average range over the past 3 days has been approximately 70 handles or about 5.5%. While many firms have gone to full margin for day trades, do not be suprised if the margins...
