Mr Sub, (and how is Mr. Sub's Mom?) First how do you break up the quotes like that, can't seem to figure that one out!!:confused: On the stop - only if I get a signal in the opposite direction before my target is hit or if I get the trend continuation signal, and sometime not even then...

Hello nkhoi, That is a good collection of STO's! Make 'em pretty, Chris

Another thought - as I was looking at the previously anotaded chart... I really like divergence in price and the 5,2,1. It is usually a good trade and I will often time anticipate and jump in early. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Yes Ditch, that is very true. See my above to KymarFye. These are for the entering in the direction of the trend. This is a minor modification of LBR's Holy Grail. Make 'em pretty, Chris

These are for "secondary" trades..ones that do not follow the STRICK rules. 20 EMA and the 20,3,1 are both trend indicators. If price is below the 20, trend is down. If the the 20,3,1 is below the 50 trend is down. (see chart) All trades MUST be confirmed by a price penetration in the...

Technically..... If you are in at 900 and out at 900 are you even? No you are down $4.80. Is this alot? No but it is money out of the account. 1 point win = $45.20 1 point loss = $(54.80) diff = $(9.60) I hang out in room where a few of the better traders do not consider a b/e trade...

Ok - first the chart and the setup- Below is the chart with a few of the entries noted. Setup is as follows - 1 Min chart (waiting to test on tick charts when Q finally gets them) 20,2.2 Bollinger Bands 20 period EMA 5,2,1 Stochastic 85,15 20,3,1 Stochastic 85,15 STRICT rule...

I see that there seems to be a little bit of interest - and I will go ahead with this idea. First let me say that I am curious as to why there is no negativity, :) (thankful but curious) it seems that there is negativity towards almost everthing here :( and I am really hopeful that we can...

Get a couple of books on the subject first (can be had a the library, with an interlibrary loan) Futures Spread Trading: The Complete Guide. - Courtney Smith Spread Trading Low Risk Strategies for Profiting from Market Relationships. - Howard Abell Make 'em pretty, Chris

Because I have enjoyed reading many of these journals over the past months - I have been wondering if there is any interest in the reading of a scalping journal? I ask this because I am hoping it will require more disipline in my trading, forcing me to stay with what the system requires. I...

There is this building in most cities in this country called the library.:D They will do what is called an "Interlibrary Loan".:eek: I have recieved this book and numerous others via this method.:) Make 'em pretty, Chris

Done this a number of times; not the forget part, that I would say it is the dumb mistake part, but the refusing to take the loss, that I would say is the stupid part. It seems to me that this is what perpetuates a loser, knowing one has made a (dumb) mistake and yet hoping and perhaps...

I must say that I used to have this same attitude - however after rereading both Market Wizard books again, I have turned my attitude to one of "this is what I have to look forward to" Down roughly (6,834.23); and as I see the bright spot, over half is commissions. Since going to IB, I have...

Thanks, learn something new everyday!!:) Make 'em pretty, Chris

Didn't this used to be orange soda, diet, big? (or perhaps that was another) Make 'em pretty, Chris

What will trigger the stop on IB, an actual trade or simply the bid or ask? Make 'em pretty, Chris

But it helps with the post count :D :D :D Make 'em pretty, Chris

Would it not be possible that when a person is put on ignore that no evidence of that persons post is shown? I have finally used it and was disappointed that it even indicated a response from the ignored individual. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Another naysayer? Everybody has a peice of advice. I would wonder how many came to the table as fully prepared as 40 appears to be? And how many actually follow the advice as put forth? Did you read the part where he said he has been doing this for about 6 months (albeit w/o real money) why...

40 - FWIW, I wish you the best in your endevours and will follow them with interest. It is very obvious to see, those that came into trading with false ideas, only to have them shattered and now cannot stand to see someone else succeed without the same amount of bitterness and losses. For...
