I also have found this problem; I will move my stop a little as price goes my way, not immediatly to b/e, and get out with a smaller loss, then price will go my way further. No solution yet, except to leave the original stop and wait for the target or the stop. In hindsight that has seemed to...

A little late to this party but that is pretty cool. It took 4 tries to get it...and after reading some of the responses I was surprised I even got it that fast!!:D :D Make 'em pretty, Chris

I haven't read a whole lot of your posts, but I would be willing to bet that this statement here is about the most inteligent, intelligant; smartest damn thing I have read from you. I have been trading for just about 5 yrs, and am now becoming slightly better than breakeven. The conclusion I...

A very simple idea, one I keep coming back to; but one that I am having a hard time doing properly. Looking forward to the continuation of the learning curve. Make 'em pretty, Chris

I have to say I think the react would fit better. To respond implies some thought in the process, see the situation, analyze, and find a solution. To react is very quick and much less thought - more like instincts or reverting to learned and practiced behavior. I try to react in my...

Pretty Trades - Be they pretty, or pretty ugly!!:D Pretty Arrows - Don't shoot no ugly arrows!!:cool: Make 'em pretty, Chris

Spread 4-5 ticks on the outside, and often 3ish. 10-15 thousand a day and moving up quickly. There are two (maybe more) market makers in the mini dow, and fills have not been a problem. Make 'em pretty, Chris

I appreciate what you have put forth here. It has been quite encouraging on some fronts, and quite realistic; in that you are showing, for all the world and new traders to see, how tough it can be. I wish you the best in your endeavers and many blessings. Make 'em pretty, Chris

No, I did a search but some how missed this one - thanks that helps! Make 'em pretty, Chris

Thanks echo, that is where I got my information. I was just basically wonder if this is how some trading programs work. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Perhaps this is to tough a question?? Or maybe too dumb to require an answer?? Or I am just too ignorant and nobody wants to bother?? Any help?? Thanks, Make 'em pretty, Chris

I have been trading the Mini Dow (I already read that thread and still trade it) and am wondering about trading programs. Not trading systems. One site said that once the PREM.X hit a specific number $2.16 it will buy a bunch of predetermined stocks. If it hits $-1.82 it will sell a bunch...

Just look at a chart with all sessions on it and you will see. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Heard Dick Morris on saturday explain the stock market decline - not decline..well..... "We have an investor strike - we are not in a market downturn, due to the problems with all the big companies." Two years of striking? Not a market down turn? Just about as intelligent as anything I...

One mans noise is another mans trading oppurtunity!! I agree with those other comments about noise. Somebody somewhere thought that each price was a place to buy or sell. Some long term, some short term. Not really noise at all - just different trading oppurtunities. Make 'em pretty, Chris

My 2 cents for IB... There has been alot of comments on this board about how bad IB is and all the disconnects. I have had 2 disconnects in the last 2 months trading futures only. There has been the occaisonall GLOBEX problem but nothing I have lost over. I trade more ACE however and have...

Try that again.

I have to diagree - here is a MSFT chart using what I used yesterday to trade the notes. With a couple rules this could be profitable. It is TA with 2 indicators and does work, went 9 of 10 on notes yesterday. I think after a little analyzing you could develope your own rules. Make...

Humor, thats what that was an attempt at! Thus the smile - :D Let me ask you - what would it take to convince you that a system is valid? Could you be convinced? Do you have specific criteria? Winning percentage? Risk/Reward Ratio? What? If I showed you a chart with indicator and price...
