Here's my marked up chart for today that I'm archiving in my trade journal but saw some stuff that might help others... symmetrical triangle for today with confluence of multiple up trendlines supporting bounce:

Ah okay gotcha thanks for the clarification chili!

Thanks chili! Just to make sure I'm reading the charts and understand the rules correctly... we would get a signal to do a 123 counter-trend trade in an uptrend when the 2nd LH bar is formed which becomes the signal bar. Short entry would be the break of the 2nd LH signal bar's low by the 3rd...

I see how to trade a piscuy123 with the trend but am unsure of how to do it against the trend and what that would look like. I know it's an "advanced" trade and maybe I shouldn't even be looking at it at this point, but I'm curious can someone mark up a chart showing how to do a 123...

You mention that it reverses so fast that you can't get out with a profit. I think the problem is that you're using the Prophet charts which doesn't have tick/volume charts. You're missing out on a lot of information within those minute bars and need to be able to break it down into more...

high of day/low of day i presume.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have it the opposite. Hitting the ask or above means to me that there is buying pressure not selling pressure. And if they go over the ask they're even more of a hurry to get filled and is willing to pay more than the spread. Also, does anyone...

I got off work early today and paper traded for the last two hours for the first time on NT. 6 trades with 1 loss for a total of $245. Having such a high win percentage and also making money is fun! Looking forward to more sim trading next week!

I was perusing my stock picks and came across the dragon formation. Although it's a stock it's interesting that the pattern can be applied outside of the futures world.

I've been thinking of my current blowup and failure as a trader (but not complete failure since I intend to learn from my mistakes and recitfy them), but was thinking that with my extremely low win rate that perhaps if I did the opposite of what I think I should do then I would be better off...

Are there any good option portfolio mgmt. software that will allow you to track your option positions and have a trailing stop and option target? Displaying of risk/reward, time to expiry, etc. would be nice also, and having a Black-Scholes calculator built-in would be convenient. I'm...

I was searching on YouTube trying to find some videos of e-mini trading and came across this one which seems to be a company that sells training for trading the minis. Anyhow, in the video he mentions "hyline plays" -- is this a standard indicator of some sort and if so does anyone have any...

Thanks for the links. I recently became a Global Futures customer about a few weeks ago and wish I had those links around when I was searching for a broker. But I was a bit more relieved after looking through search results on the NFA website. Basically if you click on each of the 19 search...

sorry if that somehow came across as ingenuine, but I assure you I am not related in anyway to the original poster and/or his company. After I had posted that other question, I decided that maybe I should try the search feature as well. (I guess I should've searched before asking the...

Thanks for the great advice guys!

Sounds cool please do keep me apprised as to when it will be available. I have a Cingular 8525 Windows Mobile 5.0 ARM processor and would be excited to be able to trade on it. Thanks!

It's not that I want to trade that way... I just don't have many options since the computer I use at work belongs to my employer and thus I can't just install random things on it like a trading platform. Plus trading via a small device is more discrete. If I could afford to trade at home...

Is there a platform/broker that will allow trading on a Windows Mobile phone? I'd like to be able to place futures trades during the day but can't install the software trading platform on my desktop computer. Don't worry I'd only be placing the trades during my lunch break and checking the...

Ok thank you! I'll check with my brokerage (GlobalFutures).

I've been trying to find what the hours are for day trading and for overnight trading are. I've searched Google and this forum and could only find that the exchange is open practically 24 hours a day. I went to the contract specs. on the CME website and it basically only said: Mon/Thurs...
