    AHG - Profitable Strategy for Struggling Traders

    932 ticks seems very slow, especially for entries. Could you just confirm you are using 932 TICKS and not volume? Thanks! Also, how did you decide to enter at 2004.25 ? The downtrend was intact until a higher low at 1998 said "caution" but the absolute earliest I could have...

    I can't point you to a post where Anek tells you how he defines a DT, but I have noticed that he will frequently call a DT where the second top is much lower than the first top. I don't think it really matters if you call it a double top or a lower high and use the low in between the 2 highs...

    l-h-g Thanks! I emailed them today and they set me up immediately with a username and pw. I downloaded NT after the close and am using it already. The rt feeds and DOM in the sim are just as fast as tradestation. I even threw in a bid on TS and it showed up instantly on both DOMs (TS...

    Here is a pic of my chart with fibs added to market emotion indicator. Basically, I just created a copy of the Market Emotion indicator and changed the lowmidpoint to .382 and the high midpoint to .618. I then use BOTH indicators, the original market emotion which plots high/low...

    triangle b/o at 10:08 am? around 2048.25? have that circled on my chart, but didn't trade it. I have modified the Emotion indicator to include fib retracements, so in addition to 50% , 25% and 75% I have squeezed in lines for .382 and .618. Results today, at least, have been...

    not sure about 96, but 1492 is a number that rings a bell (for obvious reasons - for most of us, this became a familiar number at an early age) but seriously, we seem to do a lot of work around 1492 going back several months.

    I did too... but I got long at 76! (right around noon) See the area where the low was 75.25? Pretty good entry, but I moved my already tight stop to b/e too soon and I got stopped out B/E... then it shot up.:confused:

    Trade Station is far worse than IB

    I have the same problem with tradestation. My short term solution has been to run very stripped down workspaces, without all the garbage that I would ideally like to look at. This doesn't completely solve the problem. I pretty much realize I can't trade right after a number, and also...

    My number one rule of trading that I have to keep reminding myself is my number one rule of trading: 1. Anything can happen Especially with NQ. How many times do you think you have already missed the move... and then it moves twice as much? Did you all notice the NQ hit limit down...
