I think to wait for a minute for the bar to form, it may be too late in a panicked market. That's why I advocate volume bars, if you aren't going to study volume alone. A panicked YM market will move anywhere from 50 to 130 points in a minute. Look at today's action. The swings after...

May I ask what you are basing the moving averages on? What kind of price groupings (time, tick, volume bars basically)? That is going to make a huge difference in this method. Just as an aside, if I were putting this together, I would use constant volume bars because they tie volume to...

okay, I got a little breather while price is chopping. what I mean by it depends is, right now the YM is up 70 and the ES is up 14 points. There's an imbalance there. But the thing is, the Dow is loaded with heavy hitters, it's a quality index, so you can't just say the YM is going to snap...

it's worth it

It depends on the day. Sometimes YM leads, sometimes ES leads. The ES is a much thicker index, but the YM is made up of industry leaders. Something to consider...

only made 60 something points on the YM...should have held for more, but couldn't move my target fast enough. I was busy moving my stop down. Ah well, there's gonna be another one in January. I'll do better then.

Yeah, but I blame the Soviets for cutting the thousand year reich short too, though.

:(

why would you short beans and corn now, before the FOMC announcement? Isn't it, if they cut 50, the dollar goes down, and the price of beans and corn go up? Which is why in anticipation of the 50 cut, corn is up up up? I'm just wondering about the rationale...I have never traded any...

Bumble, please may I ask you to do one more thing: please would you switch the ports on the back of the modem/router that the two machines use, so that the windows box is plugged into the port that the mac is usually plugged into and vice versa? This is the last of the basic troubleshooting...

The first thing I would check is your amount of hard drive space on both systems. Do they both have a bunch (gigs) of hard drive space available? (they prolly do...) (if you are doing dl tests, you are probably not using a browser, but an FTP program I'm guessing, but if you are using a...

what kind of pc have you got, and please, may I ask what version of windows you are using? EDIT: oh, and one more question: please may I ask, which G5 is it? Is it a single or dual processor?

I'm sorry if my question came out rude. I didn't mean for it to. I follow your path with interest Neke, but hadn't looked at your thread in a while. Back a couple months ago, you wanted to stop averaging down, having used it with mixed results. I was just wondering if you changed your mind...

Neke, I thought you stopped averaging down awhile back. What happened?

That's what stops are for. You get stopped out. You come back, do it again tomorrow. In your trading, do you not want to take any losses at all?

50bp bets dropped from 54% to 38% probability yesterday from the private jobs report.

Dear Asshole, don't put words in my mouth. Please speak plainly, if you can. Are you implying I shouldn't vote? If you aren't, what are you really saying, or were you just looking for a quick, nasty one-liner to show me what for? And are you going to vote?

Horseshit. He was profitable the first year of the equities journal, and has been profitable in the other equities journals, too. DISCLOSURE: I don't trade this method, and don't know much about it.

Boy, I hate to feed the trolls, but, if you are really interested in one on one hands-on tutoring with Spyder, why don't you ask him? If he says come on out, you fly out to wherever he is, you pay for his coffee and lunch, you sit next to him at the Starbucks (SBUX) and you watch him and ask...

If the choice is between Giuliani or Romney and Hillary Clinton, I'll take her any day.
