Todd's program is diverse and covers several strategies for trading the market. Here are some of the topics covered: 1. Single bar analysis. Look at the last bar, or last couple bars of the S&P and they can give you an opinion for the direction of the next day. 2. Fibonacci retracements...

Yum... Sounds good. Where do I send my $2,500 to attend a seminar that will teach me how to do this? :p Cheer, kp

www.worldtimeserver.com You can download a little application that syncs your computer to the atomic clock. Cheer, kp

I'm sure some of the folks know a bit about you and so forth, but I'm clueless. Please introduce yourself so we can have know a bit of context for your calls. I'll be eagerly watching to see what you can make from lunch. Cheer, kp

It seems to me that from time to time there is a really powerful move within the first 15-20 minutes of the lunch-time (12:00 - 13:00). Ordinarily this is a really quiet time, then about once a week there is this big move. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas as to what might account for...

Just to reinforce my point, look what the market did while I was massaging that last picture and posting it! :D Cheer, kp

OK, here's my magnum opus. These signal pics are discretionary, as I haven't been able to figure out a set of rules that determine when to or when not to take a signal. Basically, I want to go with the trend, so I don't take the little counter-trend bars that may occur within the trend...

At this point I'm just using the default settings as WarEagle wrote them. However, it might be better to use a Fib number, since the 233 tick chart is Fib based. Maybe 13 would work better. I'll look at and see if I like it. Cheer, kp

WarEagle and NY, This DMI thing is really hot. I've been experimenting with the indicator you wrote, and it works really well on the @ES using a 233 tick chart. I'd love to back-test it more, but I don't have the tick data. But, it seems that whenever the indicator changes to red or blue...

Hey, Don't pass out just because you did well! Keep the story going. It's a real encouragement to those of us still struggling, to know you've made it. (so far... :D) Thank you for the update. Cheer, kp PS: Someone should slap the moderator who shut down that journal. A...

I have an account with them. I pay $10 per RT on the E-mini. They have lower rates, but I pay that because my account is funded with less than $2,000. If you put more in, then their rates are very competitive. Cheer, kp

We have cleared the tower... :D kp

It's summer, and it's lunch-time. What can one expect? BTW, I'm long at 995.00 Cheer, kp

I have never traded the night-time market, but I must say I have held overnight--accidently. I foolishly held on to a position right up to the close (to squeeze the last drop of blood out of it) and didn't get filled before the ES shut down at 16:15. The problem was that it was FRIDAY, and the...

No, I sleep during the night, but the market doesn't. The futures trade all night. If there are significant moves in the Asian or European markets, the S&P futures will reflect them, that's why you see can see the big gaps when the market opens in the morning. The night-time market is long...

I am a divergence trader of sorts. I used a divergence system in the past and didn't do very well, so currently I am trading support and resistance. However, I have been following your posts about divergence and am interested in revisiting that method of trading. (It may be that my problems...

There are a couple reasons Tick charts are really great. One is that when the market is slow, you don't get a bunch of flat minutes. What happens is you get more minutes compressed in to each bar. If nobody trades for five minutes, you don't get five little doji's, but the bar waits until 133...

I might add that I use the 21 tick chart for the YM. I trade support and resistance on it, and it moves about the same sped as the 144 tick chart on the ES. The charts I mentioned in my previous post are all ES charts. Cheer, kp

I love Fib numbers, although I haven't made much money with 'em. I just like the math. But, it is UNCANNY how they work in the markets. The 5 min chart is somewhere between the 233 and 610 tick charts. I have a workspace with both, which I refer to frequently. Obviously, if you want more...

Hey Vision, I notice you are using Fib numbers for your charts. Have you ever tried using tick charts, and use the Fib numbers for the number of ticks? On the ES I use 233 ticks, and it works somewhat like a 2-3 min chart. To me it seems more 'natural' to break the data up in those...
