I'm looking for the same thing, any update on your status?

Thanks for the book suggestions. They get good reviews at amazon so I'm going to check them out. One thing I'm not sure about is on forex do people trade the real currencies or do they trade currency futures? I thought it was the former but I'm not sure. I'm concerned about the futures...

Thought I'd post an update for those interested. This week I used NinjaTrader, MB Trading's software, and IB's software. I set up a watch list in MB Trading but MB crashed when I tried to export it. As a result, I lost it. Considering it took over half our to make, I was very...

Grand deception!!!! I feel like the cable went out just before the end of the movie. Ouch! I was really looking forward to seeing how it worked for the people following. Does anyone know how it worked out? If not I will send them PM's, hopefully they're still around. I understand...

Thanks for getting me back on track. This is a lot of fun but it's a full time job trying to learn this sytem. I think the most challenging part is that bits & pieces of information are hidden amongst the other posts in the threads. There are several threads in parallel: - learning the...

I have a question about DU.. At the end of Journal one the entry was volume at DU by 11:00. Today there were two stocks that took off: JRJC & DSLR. Both started taking off way before they hit DU. I saw JRJC going off in my watchlist so I checked the chart and got in but I missed the...

I'm learning a lot but the problem is with all the introductory information scattered about (I just got access to the MSN group today) it's hard to piece it together. I'll keep reading, thanks. If you can post some analysis at the end of the day that would help me to confirm what I saw...

SpyderTrader, I applied the directions at the end of your first journal and my list is very different from yours (only 3 in common between our two lists). Is there a better summary of the rules than the end of journal 1? I looked at the end of all the journals and haven't found another...

I've been doing stocks and am currently learning futures preparing for a move to full time trader. I am American living in France, so I only trade US markets. But the time difference means the US markets open at 15h30 and close at 22h. For this reason, I'm considering trading currencies...

Jack, Your sheet puzzled me so much that I spent the entire day today searching, reading, and working on understanding it. It has been quite an adventure but now I understand it (I'm in Paris so this was actually overnight for you). I'm going to be observing your ideas over the next...

Thanks Jack for your feedback, good stuff there. I'm glad someone appreciates IBD as much as I do. :) I think swing trading is a natural progress from IBD to trading. Your channel trading idea corresponds pretty much with what I read in Elder's "Come into my trading room"...

Hey Mike thanks for your feedback. I agree that assuming discipline is a strong assumption. I only make that assumption for my question because I want to know what affect the system has on the results. I already know that last year I did NOT have the discipline required. But for this year...

I'm kind of new to this and I have a few questions that I'm hoping to get some input from others. Please no flaming or arguing insulting and all that. Really short background: My investment experience is using IBD approach. I am reading books on trading (day and swing) trying to learn all...

Could someone please tell me how it compares to the other programs here? The main question is what is NinjaTrader lacking?

I'm already using 6.5 beta 9 but I haven't played with the analyzer yet. I'm developing a custom indicator so that I can use it with the analyzer. As for being free, I plan to do live trading so i'll have to buy.

You actually told me a lot. I'm glad you mentioned writing indicators, cause that what I was doing this evening. I didn't think I would need to do it, but I am implementing a trading algorithm from a book and I thought rather than just write a huge thing it'd be better to be more modular and...

I don't want to limit myself. I'm implementing a scalping setup from a book and I plan to backtest it. I'm learning a lot from this, even if I don't end up trading it. So anyway, I don't want to learn a system and then outgrow it.

Yes I did that, three times. I get the confirmation page and that's how I downloaded the software. Then I was surprised that it said there was an update since I just downloaded it. I installed the update. Same thing. I uninstalled it all and reinstalled (I read that it worked for someone...

Hi Brent, thanks for your reply. The error I'm receiving is "invalid username or PSW". I'm positive it's correct (copy pasted from the web page). Searching here I found a thread with people having the exact same problem. Looking forward to trying it out.

I'm trying to navigate my way through all the choices of software for day trading. I have searched the forums quite a bit and I'm in the process of trying out some software. I find the software very complicated to use and I'd like to get some feedback before investing a lot of time in learning...
