Cutten says...the short-term may have more noise than the long-term, and less signals due to absence of fundamental factors on the minute by minute timeframe. I trade sub 1 minute and fundamental factors are not of much help here. Signals always abound and noise has little impact - this is...

Next year will be the big 5-0 and I'm happy that one of the top drummers in the country has named me as one of the hottest guitarists he's ever played with (I'm a shredder and he's 25) and I love scalping. Looking forward to the next 10 years and getting hotter on the guitar and the markets...

Cutten, good question but you have to compare like with like. What if the long term trader gets it wrong for a series of big waves - his stops are much wider than mine. The point is made if 2 successful traders are comparing styles over time, one long term and one short term. Given both are...

You can set up any seconds charts on Ensign. How far back you can go will depend on your data supplier.

Joab, I would be easier if you said something like, "I want a charting package that will do..." What's been suggested might do a great job for you, even be more than you need. But for me, these packages don't cut it. I use eSignal for data but the charts are poor so I use Ensign to make it do...

I use Ensign. Range bars can be used on anything - so to answer if it can be used on stocks, charting software doesn't know if you are charting Fx, stocks or emins. I do use time charts as well, but most of what I do is on range bars. Point and figure is not the same as range. The ref to...

Without being flippant, I guess that's the question only you can answer. I looked at some Wyckoff websites and can't make head or tail of them - I think they got lost in the detail. As I said, I'd start with VSA's book. It's the most concise treatment of applied Wyckoff that I've seen.

Good question - I too wondered what happened this guy. I spoke to him many years ago but lost touch.

Some traders cannot make indicators work so they believe these are useless tools and as a result believe Naked Trading (no indicators) is the only way to trade. They have highly developed Price Action reading ability. Others have figured out how to use and read indicators to the extent they...

I don't use a signal service

I incorporate PV analysis into what I do rather than only using PV and I wouldn't trade without it. VSA is Tom's software that is supposed to give Wyckoff signals but the VSA chart just gets cluttered with red and green arrows that have little value. I studied the book and adopted the ideas in...

elit, fwiw, my opinion of the software is it will confuse any experienced trader. It's cluttered with bad signals. I've seen Tom write that making money consistently in the markets is almost impossible - and that's using VSA! Enough said? The book however gives a brilliant explanation of...

nice chart

Like 99% of traders, you don't know how to use indicators so you watch and watch and get the same bad results. You need a source of inspiration to help you on your own personal journey. If you insist on using indicators, there's no point listening to anyone who says they don't work, they lag...

I remember that $50k margin, but I'm sure it was an exchange requirement. I was working for a broker in London and everyone was using that as min margin.

abaker, not always, but on the whole Jack is correct.

brilliant book - awful software

Tired Sunbelt - looks great. The used a leak test and it failed. Try this, your set up might stop the leak but Sunbelt won't... http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm A great alternative is www.jetico.com

Well for a start, I'm in Ireland - if that's not enough the Guinness is great, the authorities are amenable, the girls are terrific and there's a Tax Free Zone.
