    Trading in an HFT world

    Agree, the commissions need negotiated. I'm retired and this is my hobby, go ahead and LOL all ya want. This is the first 45 minutes of day 3. You still waiting on the close of a 5 minute bar? At least it's fun watching.

    Trading in an HFT world

    Ill quit hijacking tripledtraders thread with 1 last post. This is the HFT system today running 2 hours on the open (1 contract). Since tripledtrader won't participate in his own thread, I'll assume it's spam and will let the thread die. For anyone sitting there waiting for the close of a...

    Why isn't underwear free?

    Since were discussing the cosmos, I'm sitting here with the intraday holy grail. Now that I have this machine cranking out money, what do I do with the money. So I thought I would support my community and open a restaurant giving free food and creating a few jobs. Turns out that it...

    ATR For Intraday Trading

    Yesterday, about 12:04 (PST) I couldn't believe it. First trading day of the year. On a 2 minute timeframe and the atr was 2. Never ever seen it that low. Anything less than 6 and I don't trade. Seriously, a dead person had a better heartbeat. BTW... I also use ATR for targets AND...

    E-mini SP Counter Trend Challenge

    E-mini SP Counter Trend Challenge

    Hi Mark, hmmm .... I was wondering about definitions when I posted this, timeframes are relative. Basically, it's a pull-back buying system into the trend. It's a bottom picker and doesn't wait for momentum to change. But, definition of the trend is the issue. I prefer a global...

    Swing System

    Small contribution. I saw this long time ago at Wealth-Lab, also saw it mentioned at Stockpickr, and I think originally was associated with The QQQ Crash System from James Altucher's book "Trade Like a Hedge Fund". Anyway that's the best I can do for acknowledgments. This is my modified...

    Why do folks reveal Profitable Strategies, are they NUTS?

    traderich, appreciate you sharing that strategy. I don't think you have to worry because most people couldn't backtest the top % gainers stuff and get a warm feeling about the system. Secondly, it takes nerves of steel and a lot of money to trade it. I'm gonna follow it for a couple weeks...

    Excellent Indicators to daytrade the ER

    Hi guy's, WTF let's share, this is my current favorite using 2 indicators. Backtest this pullback system on 3 minute ER2. The edge on this system is alternating between Longs and Shorts and also not taking pullback entries at extremes. Trades times are Pacific, commission and 1 tick...
