There's nothing special about futures trading that you need to learn above "regular" trading as the methods are largely the same if you trade stocks or futures (if you're strictly interested in trading by TA, that is). If you want to learn about futures market fundamentals I recommend "The...

If your choice of career is based on how much money you're going to make, you're screwed before you even enter college. Sounds like you have a lot of growing up to do. I'd seriously consider what I want to do with my life if I were you. --opm8

In a word, no, that is not an edge. No technical analysis is. That is not to say that TA is useless, far from it. Just that an edge lies elsewhere. Edge comes from risk control and trade management. You need to make sure that your trading system/methodology is up to snuff by the following...

Fixing your link: http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/2006/0425.html Agreed, it's an awesome read. Thanks for posting it.

Exactly. The ET floors are littered with big talking gurus that couldn't produce worth a whit, despite their incessant grandiose claims. Every month or so a new one comes along. They've been reading charts (and "the tape" lol) for 28 years, talk like they can foresee every single market...

Pick any number and you'll find it "everywhere in nature" if you want to bad enough. Useless for trading. --opm8

Sounds like you need to nail down precisely what constitutes an entry for you. Otherwise you're just taking what seem to be (to me, anyway) random entries. I think I need to clarify what I meant by a yes/no pattern. The word 'pattern' is not a discrete setup; it's a combination of things...

illiquid, Trading is about yes/no patterns. When you are monitoring a trade and expect price to get to a higher time frame target, this requires successive yes patterns on your lower, entry time frame. If the push is strong enough to get to your bigger target, this will also mean that any...

Though I don't have a specific recommendation, maybe check out bankrate.com? --opm8

Do a search for ProfLogic on here. He's your typical guru that doesn't trade. He used to charge $300 for his useless website (logicalmarkettrends.com) for his "never-fail" calls. His own published track record shows almost no losing trades for several years in a row. It's quite amazing...

First and foremost you need to follow a bunch of cockamamy rules from some anonymous source. 6. Don't forget to always never do the wrong thing. Oh, and spend 7 minutes a day studying the Kabbalah. 7. Eat grapes. 8. ??? 9. Success!

Super thread, bolter. Thanks for starting it and being there to maintain it. Can you please post your Matlab code for creating the VP? I'd like to code up a similar thing in Ensign or Esignal and wanted to see the logic. I'm also going to look at Quotetracker for their MP charts but I...

It's definitely not a system, it's a methodology. It's unbelievably detailed and is very very intensive study if you apply yourself. My notes are over 40 typed pages long and it took me about 3 months to complete, about twice as long as I thought. They have some very unique views on the...

What do you want to know? I recently finished all 30 lessons. --opm8

ktmexc20, What are you using for charts and broker inteface on your linux setup? I use Gentoo everywhere but have an XP 'puter solely for trading. --opm8

LOL. This thread is like watching an alcoholic drink themselves to death. Ripley: stop trading. You're destroying any chance of success with your constant drivel of trading cliches. "Gotta do this," "Never do that." It's all BS. Find your edge and hit it every time that setup shows up...

NOthing's changed! Same crap all over again. WAKE THE HELL UP ESIGNAL! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I just got a $15 credit. I know, it's a drop in the bucket for a lost day of trading but if enough people force them to hand out credits every time they allow their systems to crash they might just change. Call Customer Service and Technical Support: (510) 264-1700 Press "1" for Customer...

Here's the official status thread as given to me by the Esignal live rep: http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16383 As of 11:40 Pacific time it has a boilerplate problem statement. --opm8 UPDATE: since I can't trade I might as well post some info. The live rep...

I'm online with a live rep, let's see what story they feed me... She's saying "we are trying to discover now why this is happening " because they didn't even know they had a problem, I'll bet. Nice.
