Pekelo - So would you enter at the first 0/100 %R, and then average in at the BB, or would you just wait until the BB is hit AND the %R is at the extreme for your first entry? Sandy

When you say that you use BB for a target, is that a price target for entry, i.e. where to set a limit order? I use Keltner Channels for a similar purpose. Have you compared KCs to BBs and found BBs better?

Hey Pekelo - Glad to see this journal as a follow-up to your %R thread. I think I understand pretty clearly how you use the %R, but would you mind explaining how you use the Bollinger Bands in conjuction with the %R? Thanks. Sandy P.S. Nice call on the bottom of the market this...

Oh, please say how you're doing today in YM points...it'll just infuriate the naysayers (I'll watch for the ensuing posts that say it can't be true unless you post live). :)

Pekelo - How did your method do on Wednesday? Sandy

Thanks Pekelo for sharing your experience on how to use Williams %R. Forget the naysayers (they are all over ET). If it works for you, that's terrific, and I say thank you for sharing your experience with it. Yes, like all oscillators, it works best in choppy markets, and poorly in...

Pekelo - What do you use for your stops and exits on the YM trades? From my experience the exit rules are more important than the entry rules in making a method work successfully. Sandy

For what it's worth, I tested the TradeMaven DOM (with Transact feed) next to the NinjaTrader DOM (with PATS feed) this past week, and the data changes came exactly at the same time (at least as far as my eye could tell).

Yes, the last price (black in TradeMaven with the Transact feed) has been lagging behind by several seconds. However, I have traded today on TradeMaven/Transact without a problem (no disconnects, and proper fills).

Lorenzo - Who is OEC? Whose DOM did you show in your post, and which broker offers it? Thanks. Sandy

Well, today Transact didn't go down at all. Hopefully that means that the fix that they installed yesterday (while they were down almost all day) solves the problem permanently.

Would someone be kind enough to point me where I can read what constitutes a "rocket"? I have read almost this entire thread (and attachments), but I've missed it somewhere. I sincerely appreciate the help.

wareco - You mentioned that you've been with them for a couple of years. Have they had any other periods where they had problems with their datafeed like they've had for the last week or so? I'm wondering if this is a systemic problem that comes and goes, or a one time (albeit over...

Global is an IB for both Rosenthal Collins or Goldenberg Heymeyer(both very large firms). As I understand it, if you sign up with Global, your funds sit in a segregated account with either RC or GH - not that there can't be a Refco-type problem with any broker (Refco was very large).

I called them, and they said they're working on installing the fix. They said to check back in a hour (which was 2 hours ago). I still can't get into my account. I haven't called again to see where they are in solving the problem.

They have been down all day - since about 10AM EST. I guess they got tired of people getting pissed off with their disconnect problem and decided to keep everyone out until they fix the problem.

Transact has had disconnect problems off and on for the past 2 weeks (some days no problem, other days several disconnects in one day). Before this period, I had not had a problem with their data feed for many months. In talking with them today, they said that they are implementing changes...

This firm has come highly recommended to me for building computers geared towards trading with multiple monitors. www.tradingcomputers.com I have not yet purchased one of their machines, but I plan to do so. I have no affiliation with them.

Macro - I found your thread in doing a search for CVD since I too found the indicator very intriguing from the Active Trader article. Have you found any charting package that offers it? I use Sierra Chart, but they don't offer it. I guess I'll have to program it in (it looks pretty...

There are three other main publications that I know of: ActiveTrader Futures SFO (Stocks, Futures & Options) Also, there's Trader Monthly. Trader Monthly caters more to the institutional trader crowd. Futures covers more than futures, but does have a futures focus. I've subscribed...
