I wanted to make the effort here to let TN know that a lot of traders must be considering this. I am. I finally called Pointdirex yesterday. Now we have another contender. I like Realtick and TerraNova but it's not making sense to stay with them any longer. And if I decide that I _must_ use...

airspeed finally got it on track and switched to decimals

There's a room on mIRC. Othernet....#s&p Mike

Hey man, which McDonalds did you work at? I need a job. Thanks, Mike

What did happen to Alexander? About a year ago I signed up for a week of free trial in his room with voice chat at Pristine. He didn't follow the Pristine method (buy over high after 3 or more down etc.) but was sort of touted as being some kinda stock genius by Oliver. They kept saying he...

Plus, with Arca I can put in a change order for price and size if I get a partial and not be charged another ticket fee. I wish I could do this with Island since they are cheaper.

I believe you can still set that all-important stop. If I understand it correctly you'll be subject to a margin call if the stop is triggered but that may be better than taking a huge hit. Plus, I believe the margin call only has to be in the account for 48 hours. I could be way off on...

quote Since the largest trading organizations - with all their resources, dedication, and access to the smartest mathematical minds in the world - haven't found a reliable trading system, it stands to reason one simply does not exist. Or if one does, you probably won't be the one to discover...

Do traders then use this new pivot to figure the r1,r2,s1,s2 numbers with a formula? Any idea what's more popular w/ most floor traders and traders in general? The three or four number? Just what I need, more numbers to think about!:D

Mine is set for 2 days, 5 min. bars. Chris' earlier response brought another question to mind. What's the formula for pivot points using the opening price as part of the equation? Seems I've heard of such a thing but never saw any numbers on it. Mike

How do you refresh the trading page? Open and close? Also, why don't they write the program to figure the pivots after the close? Makes sense to me. Thanks for your reply (s) Mike

I like to put up the pivot point lines on the spoos and naz futures using the feature on the charts under attributes/show pivot lines. The problem is that it doesn't show the correct pivot points until some time after the market is open. And then it seems to only show the correct pivots if I...

Hi Mike, While this may be somewhat difficult to do, I think a RealTick seminar could be beneficial to users. The speaker could have some links ready to post so attendees could view the chart/feature/set-up etc. being discussed. Maybe base it off of the MarketWise Realtick class...

Thanks for your quick replys but I seem to be unable to view these docs. Mike

Care to expound a bit on your rules for stops? I see you did the same type of trade here. 1k short, 1k short then double up w/ 2k more at a higher price for a 4k total. When I asked about this style in another post you mentioned trading within a range. How are your stops set for this...

David, Are you adding to a losing position? Or should I say, averaging in? bot 1k @.27, bot 1k @.32 for avg. of .295 then three minutes later it's against you and you double up with 2k shares @.20 for avg. of 4k shares @.2475. Sold shortly thereafter for profit. Also at the end of...

I think most profit is had by getting in the middle of inefficient trades by large funds. Those guys are trying to predict stock prices much further out and slippage that strikes a daytrader as substantial doesn't mean as much to them. Besides, most of them don't beat the s&p anyway so they...

Looks better and loads better for me. Nice job. Mike
