Whats the exact difference between the thin and thick price wise and features wise? --MIKE

I hate reading about short skirts and other little cute patterns that claim to work and are only entry based. To me its a pure waste.. the real meat in any pattern system is not complete until the exit is established. So why does she have 20 entry setup and no mention of an exit on her LBR...

I was just curious whether Radarscreen can actually scan the entire market (every stock) in realtime for certain technical indicators??? If not.. what is the max symbols idealy one can scan in realtime??? Also, what is the best datafeed for scanning for Radarscreen. Will a newer version of TS...

QUAH, Congrats on a great performance, this is truly impressive. I hope that system line creeps upwards nice and slow. --MIKE

I agree.. the ESTX50 are smoother during liquid hours. When it rallies it will fly... w/ minimal headfakes allowing for an easier ride. Beginner traders should definately take a good look at trading this index. --MIKE

Guys, I apolagize for being a bit flippant and harsh in my replies.. no hard feelings. I just got annoyed on the thread when someone starts claiming that ATR has "problems".. and should be tinkered with for each trade because its not "ideal". THat brought a flashback of the stuff I used to...

I disagree here completely... The risk of good open profits turning into mediocre gain or disappear.. is purely psychological. Classic fearing that your stock will lose its gains is not a good premise to trade on. In the long run.. i mean after houndreds of trades.. you will probably be...

This is pure 100% bull. Stick to doing the research and let the traders trade. You make no sense. ATR is not supposed to be constant its supposed to adjust to volatility.. sometimes it works perfectly giving you a huge chunk of the trend.. sometimes it screws you over and gets you out early...

Gordon Gekko.. the point is in general when making a trading system or plan.. discretionary based or systematic.. do not tighten stops, preferably keep stop constant or even loosen when its a runner. To each trader than can mean a different thing. Paper trade your plan for a while and see if it...

Since when does ts6 do realtime scans? --MIKE

You dont need any stats just use some common logic most people dont use when they trade. Think of it like this.. in order for you to allow more flexabiliy of not getting stopped out at the beginning of the trade you need to loosen the stop.. then in order to make sure you dont give away most...

C'mon give me a break. Do you actually think there is a trailing stop that is perfect? Stop looking for a perfect trailing stop or exact formula there is none.. only thing there is being consistent with your exit method for a very long time.. to let your statistical edge work its way out...

I agree 100%. Decreasing the risk per trade is exactly the reason why in the long run it doesnt pay to tighten stops. --MIKE

I would like to challenge the old adage that says when you have a profit you should tighten your stop. Throughout the years I went over my trades and noticed that if I would of just avoided tightening my stop I would have made more $. Usually when the trade is going in your favor.. you want...

CTRADER, Why in the world would QUAH want to change his system? If it aint broke dont fix it!! --MIKE

I definitely thing that Esignal should have a % range of daily range relative to the high and low in the quote window field. This allows traders to spot where the stock is trading relative to its intraday trading in a glance in the quote sheet. Custom programing of fields for the quote...

QUAH.. Such a system would be much easier if it were automated.. clicking wrong buttons.. avoiding slippage would be great... personally I know I hate messing around with IB's orders.. once in a while I always mess up and get frustrated and nervous. With your strategy there is no room for...

Lets all bang heads together and get this project going... we need to find out if IB is compatible with such a program. I am sure Larry (PRETZEL) author of Bracket Trader can give us a hand... I am not a programmer.. maybe someone can help? In the meantime lets see how well Quah...

Quah's been printing money the past 2 weeks.. we shall see how long his system will work. Hopefully, it will work forever and he can claim he has found the holly grail. :) Would be great if someone can make this system purely automated.. where a trader would not have to do a thing. Maybe...

QUAH, Also, can you provide us with an equity graph (daily or intraday) from the day you started the system until today.. and update it daily? This way we can get a feel of how well your system is really working... posting daily results are useless.. unless we see the aggregates. my 2...
