    Active DOM traders

    Hey ScalperTrader ... fascinating insight you have shared ... my hat's off to ya! Let me ask ... what do you think of (as at least some suggest) that a person should delete the ask offers /bid offers columns and only focus on "Time Price Size". Would that approach be limiting or beneficial, to...

    Web tool to find good entry price levels

    Just thought it might interest you. Don't undertake it on my account. My hat's off to you for your work thus far. You have skills. Seen your linkedin profile. I've worked the non-tech side of online ad networks for 20 years. Good luck to you.

    Day trading profit target

    I knew that view was quickly coming :) If one trades only the same 1 or 2 instruments every day, there are bound to be far, far greater opportunities on some days than others. Which factor alone, makes a very good case for no profit targets. But in keeping with your advice ... "Stop focusing...

    Day trading profit target

    Plenty of folks will cry foul regarding having a daily profit goal, but i like the idea. My goal is very similar. Currently ... up .5% minimum goal (time of day at .5% determines if i press on) up .75% quit for the day down 1.5% quit for the day

    I kinda like Gann's HiLo Activator. I just put it on the chart today. It might not last the week, but looks interesting.

    Stop Watch says it now takes 1 minute and 17 seconds for market order at TOS

    Ended my trading day moments ago with 48 round trips. Average size was 500. Another on-going problem i see most days and today, is TOS chart price will lag last price or last price will lag chart price (as today). That might be somewhat related to my tick charts.

    Stop Watch says it now takes 1 minute and 17 seconds for market order at TOS

    27 seconds into the market day i entered a market order at TOS. I did not measure the time it took for it to execute, but it was similar to the time it took to sell. When i entered the sell ... i get the little pop up window at TOS showing the market order and my stop watch showed exactly 1...

    How to Tell when a Trend has ended?

    I'm always looking to farther simplify. Some days i delete my SMA 18 ... and for trend definition only run the one minute line chart with SMA 7. Any time line is above MA 7, we are temporarily in an uptrend. But then all trends are temporary :)

    How to Tell when a Trend has ended?

    For intraday trend direction, i use SMA 18 on a one minute line chart. If price line (MA 1) is above SMA 18, the long term trend is up. I also run a SMA 7 and usually only buy long when price is above SMA 7 (unless reversal). That's for overall, longer trend definition. I use tick charts to...

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Volpri - congratulations on your success. I find your comments both fascinating and educational. Let me ask ... since you work a 5 minute time frame / 5 minute chart ... what do you think of the possibilities of running a second screen with a faster 1 minute chart ... or better yet a 10 second...

    How slow is too slow an internet speed for intraday trading?

    I trade equities and most hold times are less than 1 minute. My internet speed is painfully slow. Nearest fiber internet is 88 miles away. I don't want to move, but am considering buying office space in town about 4 miles away. They have DSL and cable there. Other considerations are Starlink...
