You forgot the Illuminati!

I feel like I am getting a handle on my strategy of playing reversals in the ES. The problem is, I can go a couple days without a good trade, then have a few very nice setups all in one day. If I watch the ES very closely just for reversals, I tend to force patterns where there are none and...

Agree! Check out some Tony Robbins cds from your local library. His work has made very significant changes in more than one aspect of my life.

lindq, when you scanned for EPS stocks, did you actually do the scan 12 months ago? If you did the scan recently then these results aren't valid. I could do a scan today for the best EPS stocks and build any number of systems that would do well on those stocks in the past. If you have some...

DB, quick question about when you exit a reversal. Do you use similar rules to what you use to get out of your opening trade? Do you have a target in mind or do you just use the break of a trendline to pull your stop in tight? Thanks.

Wow. Obviously we have no common ground to even have a discussion. Nevermind.

Wrong. More than one person backtested his methods. None of them showed a profit. Not one. I personally tried his technique using the Replay functionality for about a month period, and I wasn't impressed. With any kind of slippage it all, it wasn't profitable. I was using the very basic...

It's funny. I've noticed when I am trading very poorly (overtrading especially), I am either taking shallow breaths or holding my breath for extended periods. When I start the trading session with a breathing exercise it helps to center me. I haven't really tried anything advanced as far as...

I haven't tried self-hypnosis, but I have tried breathing exercises. They definitely help keep me calm and keep my emotions under control.

Whoa. Relax a bit on the conspiracy theories there. Debka is up. Latest report is that the deputy prime minister and the vice-president of Iraq have defected and are being questioned by US authorities. Edit : Actually it looks like the vice-president has just made a run for it.

I may end up doing this to start. I do *want* to exercise discretion, I'm just not sure I have enough experience to do so yet. I haven't been able to determine a good time period to start with. I'll try to spend a few hours doing that tonight. I think what you have presented is a great...

Well, I have to fess up. I didn't trade your ORB exactly as you have stated it. I tested a few weeks of January using your rules and I don't have enough confidence in the exact parameters to trade it yet. I am going to go over my notes again tonight and try some of February. I think I have a...

Well, I guess I should say I'm not sure if today was a good test or not. It was a fairly atypical day compared to the last couple of months, but I have only been trading futures for a few weeks. Do you feel like your style performed differently today than most other days or is today pretty...

Well said. I agree. I just had a bit of an epiphany over the weekend after reading all of the first Simple thread. Previously, I had 4 charts up with a half dozen indicators each. I am down to just an ES and an NQ chart with just volume and no other indicators. Today was obviously not a...

Yes they are available in Esignal, though they are very buggy. I'm looking for a different charting program that does renko that I can automate IB orders with. Anyone have any suggestions? That link you posted explains Renko pretty well. Not sure I could add anything. I don't use it for...

If you have a very high winning percentage, might want to try about 1.5 points for a stop. That seems to work well for the short term systems I have toyed with. It seems to be outside of the noise range for the ES. With 1 point, I would get stopped out too much. But, as with everything...

I think I know the answer to this, but could someone that has used TS7 please verify. Does TS7 have Renko charts? It seems there are already at least 2 other holes in the feature set of TS7 that I would miss having. It seems crazy that they would spend all this time and millions of bucks...

Thanks for keeping on top of this, Esignal people. I like a vendor who is on top of things and not afraid to admit when their systems have a hiccup.

Ok this is starting to get really annoying. There were at least 4 times this morning where my esignal emini chart was lagging at least 20 seconds or so behind my IB quotes, and it wasn't even that Bin Laden sons thing. This morning was kinda crazy for me, so I don't have the details...

I have a couple of examples. You have to actually watch them as the market is rolling. They aren't updating properly. Most of the formulas I have do not update correctly on a Renko chart when the market is rolling real-time. When I try to use the replay function (whatever it is called)...
