I have already been toying with this idea. I have the OR, and ATR stuff programmed into Tradestation, but need to figure out the other stuff (pivots, etc). Actually, its more just taking other peoples code, and figuring out what I like and dont like, and putting it together. It would be a...

Ok. That helps clear it up even more. Thats where I was getting confused. Relative vs absolute, I just did a poor job of explaining.

this makes sense also. thanks

Excellent stuff Maverick. TY for the tip. And yeah, I think I kinda fit that profile, I did the scan thing a bunch of different ways, and got similar results :)

[/b] I am a bit confused. Are you saying those are desireable traits? If so, I thought earlier you said that when everyone is watching/trading the same thing, its not a good quality. But isnt that what brings volatility? Sorry, I am kinda confused on the point you are trying to make. I...

This is something I was thinking about, and would like feedback on from anyone in the thread. I guess it is a 2 part question. 1) Is anyone using more of a "macro setup" like a daily chart technical formation pattern as a point of interest when looking for candidates? (an example would be a...

I have found that using channels, and formation, s/r, etc works better on a longer time frame.. Try hourly or daily.. Then use a shorter term time frame to make an entry off of the larger picture

They are all in Pakistan. And Pakistan knows it. This was probably just some PR stunt to make the pakistani's "look serious" about fighting AQ... Now only if they would just give up the rest of them.....

I have been following this thread with more interest for a few weeks, and went back and read the whole thing. All I can say is thank you to Maverick, and the others who have chimed in with their insight, warnings, and various styles of use of the method. I went out and bought the book, and...

I think it depends on how you look at it. Have you ever heard the phrase in life of something being "relatively simple...just not easy to implement." I think the trap ALOT of traders fall into, is that they dont have a plan, so they dabble in a bunch of things.. Lose money of course, and...

Trade Ideas also does this with an algorithim... What is nice about TI is that you can combine it with other parameters.

Kind of off topic, but whatever happened to Assent? I tried calling their number off their website and it didnt work. Did they merge with lightspeed?

that doesnt make any sense. While yes, that is a viable scenario, my point was it isnt black and white..

ok, so I guess the next logical question could be, which well known firms are FInra, and which ones are CBSX/CBOE affiliated? (I am looking to get back into trading(already have my series 7), so have been looking around, this just makes my decision more important.)

I would hope so. I have a series 7 and 55. Another license would be rediculous. I fail to see the point of requiring any licenses at all.

I notice it is for CBSX and CBOE holders. Arent some prop firms not affiiliated with CBSX? If so, will the series 7 still be enough?

It has already been explained to you that alot of the firms in florida are simply regional branches of firms headquartered in your beloved Chicago, NYC, etc.. You cant seem to comprehend this.. The tax benefits have alot to do with this.

Any idea if having the series 7 and 55 takes the place of this, or is this an additional test that is required (regardless of what you currently have?)

Exactly. I look at at this as a point of inflection, and usually a chance for volatility (in one direction or another). SO I dont create a bias based on the formation itself, but more where it is in relation to longer term S/R, etc... Actually I have found failures to give better follow...
