I have a video of Jack Schwager I bought from traderslibrary and it was on sale for $5. Compared to the extremely interesting Market Wizards book, I thought it was rather dull. But, I remember the part where he said he looked at what clients did in a managed account. He said they'd say they...

Well, he's not posting prices so I don't know how he can be trusted.

I was thinking of looking at futures charts just to compare with other markets. Does anyone know of a good free site for futures charts? Can anyone tell me what the most liquid e-mini index futures are? Does anyone think the S&P 500 is more difficult to trade than individual stocks?

You had a bunch of buy signals but did not indicate at which prices where you got in.

I think you can misunderstand me just like I can misunderstand you. By fitlering process, I was thinking more along the lines of what would happen if I eliminated signals if they occured for example at certain parts of the day. Like the if EUR/JPY is calm between 10AM and 7PM. However, I...

No offense, but what would motivate you to look for quotes for Canadian equities? When I tried working as a day trader for 3 months, if I tried getting in with a limit order when the price was running up, I couldn't get filled. So, I ended up using open market orders which meant paying the...

I'm not a fundamentalist (mainly concentraded on trade set ups using technical analysis). But, I saw a Frontline documentary on the fact the government had a hard time trying to get itself to regulate OTC derivates (supposedly because lobbyists are too powerful). Now, we've all heard before...

Oh grow up you two! That's it, a spanking for the next wise-cracker. (just kidding) Seriously though, could you please post the trades in a way we can actually understand like: long EUR/JPY at 130.87 or something similar?

Well, I meant if I was trading the same amount for a while like 2 mini lots at a time until I had enough to trade 4 then eventuall 6 (so I can scale out which means I wouldn't be able to choose 3 and 5).

I have the Forex.com Metatrader4 demo on one computer. If it expired it wouldn't bother me too much but it's still working. One poster here has a point though, at one point, it's sort of better to have at least a micro lot account to practice with real money. I have a micro lot account with...

Well, I almost feel like an idiot for forgetting about simple things like trendlines and support lines. Heehee, it reminds me of a list of technical indicators I should perhaps be looking into again. :)

I looked at some news on Marketwatch and they were saying the home sales coming out on Monday were not supposed to be good since the stimulus program was no longer in effect or something (I don't know, I'm not really a fundamentalist). In any case, they said more earnings are coming out so it...

Great! Thanks for that. I have a respect for that idea since I read Williams (can't remember full name) used the Kelley formula to win a contest. If I make it big, maybe I'll give you a first sneak peek at my method. I think I know what you mean, but for me, I find my judgement could get...

Wait, do you mean if your loss on every trade is 3.3% or if you risk 3.3% of your money? I meant if I permit myself to LOSE 3.3% on every trade.

Those guys really make me laugh! I wonder why their stunt has a comical edge about it. Anyway, is this to imply that you can have a big ride in the markets that will end with a very soft landing?

OMGosh! What a tremendous sounding trading strategy! :D

We haven't gone past the last relative low yet to say this is a downtrend. lol, do you like my "Paint" skills?

Well, my risk reward ratio (would actually fluctuate) is about 1:2. Meaning I'm generally aiming for profits twice as large as my losses. I came up with the 3.3% partly because it would give me a 33% drawdown with 10 consecutive losses. If I filter my trades, I'm figuring my losses might...

I do look at 2 time frames. And yes, there are "points of weakness" sometimes on a chart you can identify when certain types of signal failures may occur (where you can use your intuition). I haven't stepped up to the level of using intuition yet. My first goal was to develop and entry...
