Because my daytrading strategy reverses, the ability to do it with the greatest speed and efficiency is valuable to me. Cybertrader allows short-to-long flipping in one buy, but not long-to-short. Tradestaton allows neither. The reasons for not allowing such are relatively garbage, as the...

I concur with the observatons of lescor. And Cybertrader charges 1/2 cent per share on NYSE...one of the reasons I am with TS6 now.

Nice idea, I bet it would be a lot of work.

True about Cyber, but that doesn't include the other nickle and dime stuff that gets tacked on.

That was a nice trade!

The first trick to backtesting is including some amount of slippage in the code. Tradestation alows this, so when I am using an enter on the close or the open I plug in an extra nickle. The second trick is your goal needs to be to trade as close to your method as you are able. The third...

I second that also AllenZ. 'I am never smarter than the market.' 'I am never smarter than the market.' 'I am never smarter than the market.' I know that and I also know...

It is that easy. The simplest system I know constructs a horizontal line at the current price and is long above it and short below it. You cannot refute it. Check it out for yourself. Overlay a horizontal line on any chart, any time frame. Is there profit opportunity or not? As stated in a...

Interesting that one of the better SP groups at the Merc is the OJO group. I don't know how seriously to take you Ojo. Having paper-traded for so long should have seasoned you to realize that your method will be ineffective sometimes. I guarantee that you can be the best tracker in the...

Volume and volatility are the keys here. I agree with Gooney and Lobster, especially about the Q's. Very liquid, but no range. You ahev to trade a ton of shars to make it worth while. Especially if you're looking for that nice intraay trend move, the Q's don't really go anywhere. The ES is...

Geez the things we'll do for a free shirt...:D

Caro one more post and you are a senior member... yeah baby... watch out Monday, senior member CaroKann is trading. :)

I kind of like the .com in the name... for your potential benefit Baron. Maybe have EliteTrader in significantly larger letters than the .com part. And it must include the cool arrows. I never noticed those before. Well bust my britches. :)

Wow I like both of those suggestions so far. I cannot even imagine what sort of "creative" suggestions are yet to come. :D Of course I'm fond of my signature "You must be in to win." So does the winner get a free subscription to elitetrader for a year...wait it is free. How about a free...

Hey Gordon, For end of day data only and no brokerage, the fee is only 49.95 a month. :)

lundy I must respectfully disagree with your assessment. Inasmuch as price is nothing more than human behavior quantified, as is TA, a pullback from a recent high is significant. I agree that it might not mean a local top, but it does provide an objective point from which to buy or sell. The...

egil... you are a wildman. I want to party with you cowboy. :cool: Up, down, or sideways.... now I have two things I know for sure....the other is -

Geez, I thought I could find out what the storms are doing offshore and whether the waves were forming nicely or blownout. Maaaan! Oh well, I'll just put a finishing coat of wax on the bottom and get ready for the weekend. Hey wait....I live in Columbus. The only waves I'm gonna find around...

I have learned, or come to realize the truth behind AAA's refernce to the FX trader who just used S/R levels and developed a feel for the flow. Well, I have yet to develop a feel, in my opinion... but an understanding of the importance of S/R has made a great impact on my trading, and the way I...
