Bubba- Spike and I have pm'ed about the two minutes before. Since our exchange, I have decided that it is only important if you are charting 24-hr and then probably only when you are doing tick charts, not minute charts. In any event, from my investigation, I do not believe the trades...

vol, A hip-hop trio. I assume the reference was triggered by the "goin' down" lyric you refer to occasionally (but a different group). And a big thank you to Wikipedia. :D JB

"At the top of the hour, the National Association of Realtors said pending home sales rose 0.7% in February to 109.3 following a revised 4.2% drop in January." http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/briefing/StockTicker.asp JB

Sorry, that's misbehaving where I come from. But carry on. JB

About now, B1 usually comes in and tells everyone to behave. JB

So 80% of the time you should exit after reaching 20% of your profit target? :) I don't think these are the specifics he is asking about. JB

:confused: Through last Friday, the average range so far in 2007 during RTH for the ES is about 11. That times 50$ is 550$. Corresponding numbers for the NQ are 25.5 and (x 20$) 510$. That ratio (550/510) is about 1.08. The ratio was 1.37 in 2005, but nothing approaching 2.0. I...

This topic has been touched on in other threads, but people seem to have conflicting experiences. Giles and Jayford have different experiences under Parallels as noted over on Jayford's thread, for example. And the topic has been touched on in other threads, I believe. So I thought I...

doscentavos- You teased us with this late last year - said john (?) was close, could not be seen in the T&S - maybe some other hints. Care to 'splain some more? Thanks. JB

Minimal - we are talking decimal places here. At the end of July, the average range for the ES during RTH was 6.28. It then declined continously until last week when it was 5.73. At the end of the day, it will be 5.76 or better. JB

Yes. This will be the first week since the last week in July where the YTD average RTH range increases from the previous week. Did that make any sense? :) JB

Is anyone else missing about 15 minutes worth of ES Z6 or NQ Z6 starting about 646am Central Time this morning? I get my feed from eSignal. TIA. JB

Wrong link. This one is for 2006. The other one is for 2007. http://www.cme.com/trading/res/cch/2006thanksgiving5485.html JB

Oops!! Those of us in The Home try to remain optimistic about seeing another year. :) JB

Not on Thanksgiving, but "Yes" on the day after. http://www.cme.com/trading/res/cch/2007thanksgiving832.html JB

I think the following says there are regular hours on Friday for the equity indexes. http://www.cme.com/trading/res/cch/2007thanksgiving832.html JB

My recollection from here in The Home is that NQ represents the NAS 100, not the NAS Composite. JB

I fear I may have misled you. I live in a carehome on my meager pension. My children (who do not come to see me nearly often enough!!!) gave me this old computer to keep me busy. (For that matter, the nurses do not come around often enough either!!) So I don't trade at all. I just troll...

No, no. I have no conclusion at all! Romik says, "You can't jump the signal", and you say, "Yes, but sometimes I would make more if I did". I'm saying you have to measure it, keep a log (perhaps) of "early" trades. You cannot rely on selective memory. JB

It is a study you have to do. Based on the particular indicators and signals you use, what are the costs/benefits of anticipating a signal? But then have you added another rule and complicated your system and added stress to your life for some marginal gain? Like I said, it is a study you...
