I agree. Its possible to make money.

Sure you can make money, I agree. People should stop blaming the market, it's moving all over the place, what are they looking at? I mean see attached, this is only the first hour of the day.

I use Quote.com feed and have no problems with the Tick.NY data. I actually prefer quote.com's feed over any other feed.

Don, I agree with you 100%. How can people say the market is not moving. At least with the nasdaq and S&P futures, every day there are usually at least two nice long trends lately(just one today:)) Traders should at least be able to catch some of these moves? Like don said, size your trades...

Take a look at books by Ralph Vince if you want to learn about "Optimal F" and fixed fraction position sizing. You'll see that actually trading with the 'optimal f' number of contracts is way too risky and you will have drawdowns that are way too big for most. I like the Fixed Ratio idea that...

This is the worst piece of crap advice I have ever heard in regards to trading.

3 trades x 5 point stop = $300 + $100 for slippage, etc. = avg. $-400 of course worst case is a much higher loss. you need too be fairly accurate in your trades here with only 3 trades and a tight 5 point stop! How do you come up with a risk/reward ratio of 65/35 when your average profit and...

savage, I predict this strategy will play out as follows: a couple +1 point trades on 10 contracts bam! -3 on 10 contracts -1 on 10 contracts +1 +1 -1 bam! -4 on 10 contracts and so it will go. IMHO

I assume that because I use TS2000 and can opt to only collect ES data during regular session hours, that is why the HighD(), functions work fine for me. Does TS6 give you the option of what session data to include in indicators?

use the functions HighD(), lowD(), closeD(), openD() create new indicator: var: pvt(0), sup(0), res(0); pvt = (highd(1) + lowd(1) + closed(1)) /3; sup = ...enter code here...; res = ...enter code here....; plot1(pvt, "pvt"); plot2(sup, "sup"); plot3(res, "res");

futures are marked to market each and every day at settlement, with credits and debits exchanging hands among the traders. It's a zero sum game that were all existing positions summed equal out ot zero. there is always a winner for every loser. Because you liquidate for your profit doesn't...

See the only books I've found helpful at my webpage: http://www.pricepatterns.com I've carefully constructed this, it's tough to make it on my list:)

Each tick is a trade regardless of size. So a 25 tick OHLC bar will show the open(first trade), high(highest trade), low(lowest trade), and close(last trade) of those 25 ticks then on to the next bar.

I've tried realtimefutures before and its quite entertaining just to listen to this guy, he talks a mile a minute. I doubt it would really help you if you already have a method that you trade, it might even cause you to second guess your setups that you normally would take because there is a...
