hello everyone I am going to start a journal here concerning my day trades on the ES. I will post the entry and exit rules for my system shortly along with chart examples. All constructive criticism is more than welcome. I hope that this will be a great learning experience for me...

I don't know much about the vix but I have seen larry connors say on many occasions that it is not the current level of the vix that matters, it is the level of the vix in relation to whatever moving average he uses for his systems.

What rate would you be taxed at if you open a joint account and if there is severe difference in the net income of the two traders, i.e one trader makes a large sum and the other makes very little ? Are there any limited capabilities on a joint account ?

Traderkay: I have not gone live yet with the methodology, I have some experience trading it via swing trading and do some intermittent day trades via SPY but am limited by the PDT rule. My experience in swing trading was that I just about brokeven which I considered pretty good because it...

DblArrow, What sort of risk to reward do you go for on the pattern you use ?

Care to elaborate ? Any specific reason ? Bad experiences with retracements ? dbphoenix thanks for the input, I definetly agree with the idea that one should become a master of one strategy before beginning to try to trade others, however this certainly does not mean that I have my...

Does anyone here trade off of this pattern ? I know that Linda bradford raschke still uses it herself and was wondering whether anyone else uses it as well ? I myself currently trade the system using the ES on 3,5 and 7 minute bars only. I do not include non market hour data and tend to...

I am currently considering purchasing one of van tharp's books and was wondering how he compared to mark douglas and if I should consider getting the disciplined trader instead (already own trading in the zone) of one of tharps books. Also what are the differences between tharps books and is...

Awash, I am a long time lurker of this journal, but I must say it is certainly my favorite journal on ET and I have enjoyed seeing you become better and better trader throughout a reasonably short time frame. I was wondering several things about yourself though. How long have you been...

How about posting in mirc and then saving the chat and posting it all in one ET thread, that way you don't have to go through ten pages of oneliners and you can just look at the whole thing

Not really sure if this is the place for this post, however I was wondering what the available margin is using IB for the QQQ and SPY ? Some places I have seen 2:1 but others I have seen 4:1, can someone please clear this up thanks.

I have a similar problem, I am on the west coast, but am not much of a morning person. I find that if i get up around 6 and then trade till 9 or so, then take about 20-30 minute nap, I am refreshed and ready to trade again. I personally do not like to take anything during trading that will...

I experienced a similar situation to you in while still in high school. At the time I was about to graduate I had been working and had a lot of money left over from school, not really knowing what to do with it I bought several hundred shares of a small company at about two dollars, about a...

Is it required that futures traders have to report every quarter, or can it be every year ? Is there a penalty for not reporting every quarter ?

Is there anyway to change the color of the background in the new version of esignal ? been looking for this info in their help guide but cannot find it. Thanks

Thanks for the help everyone, something weird happened earlier where my esignal froze up and i think it caused the orders not to be cancelled when i thought i was trying to cancel them, thus resulting in some confusion on my part.

So this is a real documented problem that you cannot change orders once they have been entered ? This seems completely ridiculous to me, why would anyone use this platform with errors like this, the mistaken fills would kill you. Please someone tell me im just doing something wrong or that...

Anyone here use J-trader, I have been using it to simulate my orders recently before going live and using the platform, however I am having trouble cancelling orders that have been sent and I no longer want to use, as a result I have been getting filled when I do not want to. I get an error...
