:) thanks.. i dont mind sharing the idea, its pretty common anyway.. but i havent tried trading it yet so i cant comment on results.. basically the idea is that as price moves away from its 20ma, it becomes overextended and will eventually snap back.. i want to scalp the little reversals...

Lojze.. i think most people who have traded both would say the NQ is better for beginners.. thats my opinion at least.. but alot depends on your style of trading.. im putting the finishing touches on a scalping system that works better with the es than the nq.. but for someone just...

tom.. excellent post.. thanks for sharing that with us.. you and i have talked before, in December actually, about these very issues.. are you trading again now? if so, how are things going? "but to be honest with you, do you think one can appreciate all the stuff in books like...

i think there are 2 reasons that trading in the mornings only works better for some traders, myself included.. first, the morning has better volume and moves tend to have more follow through.. the second reason has to do with the mental state that is created by a series of wins.. when a...

well.. its been many months since i started this thread.. i had decided not to continue this because one of the more valuable contributors on this board was run off by some who just wanted to argue.. but, i think its time to resume, at least for me it is.. these last months have been...

trdrmac.. interesting numbers.. i wonder about some of these funds.. the decline was so fast and now with the redemptions they surely must be having.. i wonder how many of them have sold positions near the bottom and dont have any cash to take advantage of any bargains.. although, in my...
