    Technical Analysis and Common Sense

    To answer the first post yes, in a seperate account. I have only been trading it since May and watched it for a month before that. The guy I got it from, in about March, had said that Jan and Feb gave the system a real beating! It is somewhere in the vicinity of 40% since I started, but I am...

    Technical Analysis and Common Sense

    Been trading all these years and NOW you are looking for a system? :D It is a system that uses a specific time period and EMA. Thats all of the indicators. Been in use realtime real profits for the last 6 yrs. It was designed for the ES and I don't know how it works on other markets...

    Technical Analysis and Common Sense

    Perhaps that is not an appropriate assumption. An indicator based on some mathamatical calculation of price will always remain the same. It will always react to the market in the same manner. Perhaps price action will change, traders perception of the market may change, or the length and...

    Technical Analysis and Common Sense

    This answer is related to trading the bonds and notes and indexes - but shows promise in all other commodity markets I have looked it over in, but not traded. I would answer your question as - Yes I believe I have found something that works over a long period of time. I have watched it for 6...

    getting a loan...please read!

    I could not disagree more. I have seen tens of thousands spent on college, only not to use the education. I have seen many borrow to start businesses only to have them fail. If treated like a business (probably could not convince the bank though) why not take out a loan? Keep the car -...

    Traders vs. Investors

    This seems to make sence to me - I am very short term and very rarely look at long term (more than daily charts.) Just seems where I am at (NW Montana) the economy is cruising right along and nobody seems to notice any problems (except perhaps with 401's etc) and the expectations are things...

    Traders vs. Investors

    Heard a comment on the radio today - guy says that the stock market going down shows how bad the economy is. Greenspan just got through saying that it didn't look all that bad and things are improving. If the market is still really overvalued, as some say, then the market must come down to meet...

    The Evolution of an E-mini Trader

    Sorry to interject a scaling question - but does the idea of not scaling hold true if you have a system that is 75%? That is based on scaling - taking 3 (nq) and stop to b/e is a winner. Thanks, make 'em pretty, Chris

    3 nq trades

    Here is a chart with the CCI and what I look for your red 1. CCI is heading down. When price falls below the bar just left of your arrow, would be looking for a short at that point. Stop above the high there. After CCI went below the -100 then crossed back above would be looking for a long...

    Are you looking for short term tops and bottoms? Don't know if you are or not, just an inquiry. I gave it up as most know it doesn't work real good. What I require is confirmation of the direction. In your chart, my thoughts lean like this - 1st point, a break above purple 1 is a...

    Stock Options Question

    I am not an option trader, but with all the news on stock options given to company execs, I have a question. Options have an expiration date - do these options given to execs (or any other company member) have either an expiration date or strike price? Just curious. Make 'em pretty, Chris
