Would you reverse the position at the line or use a stop past the line? If trading the futures use two accounts, to be long and short at same time. For nq maybe a 3 pt target and a 3 pt stop. When your target is hit switch to a trailing stop. Problem is slippage from not taking the 3...

By just reading the time/sales how do you realize when the nq started to turn, as opposed to the usual chop. Also how often are you right, and how much more right than wrong. Thanks for sharing your style.

What other quote systems? Have you even funded an account yet? Why do you think he owes you proof?. If your going to jump in and trade fast markets, I hope you will do your own testing and make sure you have the fastest connection available. I've used esignal, qcharts and future source...

Joe D Thanks. It looks like GL/Trade has something very similar to jtrader dome, with the addition of volume traded at the price level. Can you execute with one click on the price. Any hot keys, to buy/sell the b/a. I noticed a smart pad keyboard on the web site. That would be...

CME offers 2 choices; 1. $200 for order entry software only, plus direct line 2. $400 includes order entry software, and vpn. The GL/Trade you mentioned is a third option? And if using the above $400 package do you get access to the GCC desk? Do you mind saying who your FCM is...

Profitseer. The only way I access my account is through jtrader. I had the system go down at the same time i hit the transmit button once. I did not know if the order was filled or not but it was always in the working orders, so I knew there was a problem. Whether it be jtrader or...

I have to ask, how long had you been using J-trader? Is it possible the software would have shown a working order, you just didn't check? I never held a position overnight, but supposedly my broker would send an email if I had any open positions after the regular market close. I know...

I think thats the point. Seller busted the trade a couple hours later, after losing the 1 point edge.

Does patsystem charge the brokers for upgrades. Or are they somehow paid by the amount of trades using their system? Seems there are many different J-trader platforms being used. If you want the current version are you going to have to switch brokers every six months?

Trying to make an indicator work under all conditions is sure way to decrease its usefullness. I think your onto the problem with fibs though, you can draw the lines everywhere. Who says you have to use high and low. Why not just line them up with price pivots and put them where they fit the...

I'm also looking for a way to use it in my trading. It seems like it should help to identify overall current market conditions so I keep on watching it. I thought i might get a feel for recognizing when the programs kicked in, and how the market responds after they kick in. I've tried...

If you could figure out what i was talking about from the last chart. Later in the day. Tick gapped down, prem hit sell level and es did make a strong move down. It quickly turned around though. In real time it all happens faster than i can react, but i still watch the relationship of the...

This one the prem hit sell level, tick stopped falling, es held support and it signaled bullish move to come.

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6963&highlight=tick+trin dblarrow, did you see this thread. The question of delayed spx data really confused me. I like the way AAA just explained using tick and prem. I have not been able to use prem myself. today at...

Its easy to get overwhelmed with tech analysis, drown in information. Theres always a different way to interpret an indicator, another time frame to look at, another type of sup/res line to draw on the chart. the "chart school" section of stockcharts.com should be an excellent place to start...

What some call an edge others might call a license to steal. The only remaining edge is owning a trading firm. don't misunderstand, I truly respect the opinion of those who were smart enough to take advantage of "edge", and turn $100 into millions. But I don't know if they are saying you...

Whos the FCM? My ib clears through rcg. I had problems, but its been reliable for the last 2 months. Wasnt logged on today. Unless you understand what the isp is testing i would not just trust them either. Search et for pingplotter and there has been some info on checking your connection...

Chasing the trend is what I sometimes do. Right on direction but wrong entry. I'll buy breakout, when i should be buying pullbacks. Its a clear sign i'm trading on emotion. Is that what you mean by "buying up movement". Its amazing how precisely wrong my stops can be when trading under...

Thats my next step, just one strategy. When the index trades to a support or resistance level I just start thinking fade a breakout, join a breakout, trade the range, or wait for a pullback. Trading only one strategy seems like a weird way to approach trading.
