I have been looking into developing a filter to catch similar patterns intraday. Have you had any luck or see any sense in this? The idea is to do the same thing you are except intraday. Currently no software I know can do this the way I want.

Yes, if you can consistantly score 75%+ on the practice tests. you should be okay for the real test. I took it years ago, but I doubt anything has changed as far as the expectancy goes.....

Omni, the entire post was great. this part is especially true. I find my biggest distractiuons when I sit down or lose concentration after a bad trade are: Instant messenger: Shut the shit off as soon as you get to your computer in the morning. I have idiot friends who have the tendency to...

great post futuresTrader71

I dont know how you CANT exercise to blow off steam. I mean at least a 1 1/2 mile jog helps my focus and allows me for reflection on my day, good or bad..... The only problem is they have those CNBC parrots squawking on the tube at teh gym so I have to wear headphones.

If that is the case, I just think your probably just gay... lol. seriously, I kind of know what you are saying, but not to that extent. Not even close. But I notice faults in things in general and am hard on people, but I am also hard on myself to boot, I dont descriminate.. :D

Makes total sense to me. I think the lack of good, solid training (a mentor who takes you under their wing) (not churning gimmicks) coupled with the time it takes to really learn on your own. What I have found in this business is that it simply takes time to learn what doesnt work, b/4 you...

1 word: ECN'S.... I have watched this industry go down the tubes since retail and the buyside have access to this type of software. I have lost my job twice as both firms went under...

Sad to say, I actaully had 2 of my best days trading when I came in hungover on a friday morning.. I think since it is still in my system, I was more relaxed and just traded better.. :eek:

This is what happened (I believe...) : I purchased the book on 8/23 online. waited for 2 weeks and went back online. The book was "no longer available (or something along the lines of that.) I called to get teh status of the order and wondered why it was unavailable. They said the new one...

Thank you. I am actually learning the manual as we speak. I willl let you know if I run into any dead ends (I am sure I will :p ) I appreciate it.

[/b] Well now that I have access to the book they just put on line (that I reviewed last night), I can learn. Which I am happy about. My frustration was/is dealing with pinheads at TS who dont know the status of my order (5-7 day delivery) (and 3 weeks later still hasnt arrived)and sell me...

name: bostonsoccermdl https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=42942 thanks!

LOL.. I checked the first link and i believe the book I ordered that is "stuck in the mail" is now available online for free as of yesterday. (I noticed this b/c right after I ordered it, it said in red letters "no longer available". It just gotreplaced by the "bootcamp" book due to be released...

Thanks. It looks promising and I will check it out.

check your PM's...

Okay here is the deal. I got tradestation b/c I have a strategy that alerts me to stocks that are forming specific technical intraday patterns. No other scanner can do what I want so I went with tradestration. Now The online help manuals suck at EL, and they basically force u to buy the...

Use trade ideas. IT is cheap ($50 for all it can do is very cheap IMO) you can program it to look for satocks that opened either below the close or high of the day, and have since move X amount or are "running up." You can also add in volume (% above average)to help confirmation of the move...

I noticed that to today when reading their back to back posts. same stocks in many cases and obviously excellent methodologies.

Considered it, yes. Although the evidence points to it. The "characteristics" are extrememely similar and my IQ test patterns mirror (basically high in specific areas and lower in other ones) also points to it. (Still scored top 10% :D ) I dont need a disability to blame things on. I got...
