I know Echo has an office there near Buckhead. I've visited it and liked what I saw. I'm pretty sure Bright and maybe ETG have offices there too.

The problem with Prechter is that he's been saying the same thing for over 10 years. He missed the whole bull move as a result. The accuracy of a broken clock comes to mind. I'm surprised he still has a single follower. Who knows, maybe he'll be right....this time.

Walter, you may be right. I don't know why he used that ratio, only that he really believed it to work. He claimed it worked for him in all the futures (he didn't trade stocks). I found it to be wrong as much as it was right, so I gave up on it a long time ago. The problem was that you...

I had an instructor in college that got me interested in trading and he used some strange stuff to predict turning points in time. I'm not saying any of it works, because I gave up on it years ago, but he seemed to do well with it. He would take two major highs (or lows) (could be in any...

Do they just use some kind of optical scanner and generate that form letter whenever the letters S-E-C are detected? While I have no problems with form letters as a general rule, a misused one like that really makes them look stupid. I wonder if I'd get the same letter if I wrote him and...

I don't live in MS but I'm just down the road in Birmingham, AL.

Anyone who has traded real money can read Aphie's first few posts after placing his trades and know he is trading real money now. Give the guy a break. Good luck Aphie, keep your chin up, and STICK TO THE PLAN that you talked about. Obviously you put a lot of effort into its development...

Amkeer, I don't know anything about Freetrade, but if they are giving you 25 free trades, then they are probably market orders (correct me if I'm wrong) which they sell the order flow to a market maker. Paying the spread on each trade can add up. But 2 second fills is quick for a web broker.

Amkeer, People have made a lot of good posts already, but one thing I would add is that you need to consider dumping your web broker if you hope to have a chance. There is just no reason for the added delays and inferior executions. A place like IB is cheaper, faster, more reliable...why...

I would assume that if you are right and the market moves in your favor that they can turn around and offset it in the interbank market at a more favorable spread. But if they have enough orders on either side then they can offset between customers, kind of like a bookie. I'm just speculating...

The problem with retail FX trading is that your broker trades against you. Its like the old bucket shops mentioned in "Reminiscence of a Stock Operator". They quote you a market based on what they see in the interbank market. I guess they are playing the percentages that over time most people...

Done. Sorry I missed it the first time.

I expect this crap from FPC to stop. If you want to post like a rational human being then go right ahead, but we will not tolerate the vulgarity.

Ok, here is my TS code. If any EL experts out there see any errors, please point them out. I've never been good at writing tight code, so there may be a short-cut that I missed. If the code looks correct, then I'll post some results. Inputs: shortLen(5), exitLen(10), mediumLen(30)...

wdbaker, I'm coding this in TradeStation, but I'm confused on your short signal. You wrote: test2=Filter AND MA(Close,5) Short=test2; I understand the time filter, but what do you want the MA(Close,5) to do? Did you intend to enter the opposite of your long signal, i.e. "MA(Close,5) <...

Mine is not as sophisticated as Nitro's, but here is the code I'm using if anyone is interested: Inputs: profitTarget(1), stopLoss(1.25); Vars: fibTime(false); If time = 0832 or time = 0834 or time = 0837 or time = 0842 or time = 0850 or time = 0903 or time = 0924 or time = 0958 or time =...

why not making 10 or 15 trades between 0930 and 1130? what are those fibonacci numbers all about? why do they have any meaning in trading? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=8734

Glad you found the problem. Tyler is right.

cynicism or realism? Sorry to throw cold water on you. I really hope you find what you are looking for. I don't mean to be negative. My personal belief is "go for it" no matter what anyone tells you. Good luck chasing your whale. I hope you catch it.
