You sir, need to go back and read. "But you propose to give the mentor nothing in return."

We are in our late 40s/early 50s and looking for an experienced, successful trader (i.e. profitable, multi-year track record) to teach us to trade in-person. We can travel freely and will come to you. We are good students and easy to work with. Are not interested in obtaining a Series 7...

Here are some of his book titles: Planetary Harmonics of Speculative Markets by Larry Pesavento Astro-Cycles: The Trader's Viewpoint by Larry Pesavento Harmonic vibrations: A metamorphosis from traditional cycle theory to astroharmonics by Larry Pesavento - draw your own...

Guy, If you subscribe to Optionetic's Platinum software, you will receive a manual. When you read it, you will know how to use the software. That's not the same thing as teaching you how to trade. For that you can take a course, read books and/or find a mentor. If a trader does...

WD40: I agree with everything you say, but Platinum is now more than just a couple hundred dollars. As of 1/1/06, the annual subscription is now $795. Still, I agree, a good deal for what you get and there are discounts for renewing customers. Brooks

Platinum changed in 2005. They now update prices several times during the trading day (at least 3 times I believe). So, its not realtime but it is better than just EOD.

Scott63, I may be mistaken, but my understanding is that all the tools of the website are available to those with a minimum subscription. I think the higher fees just get you additional training. I have not seen their infomercials. In the last week, I decided to take the plunge with...

Why are there large differences between DJIA index data found on Yahoo, symbol ^DJI as found at: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EDJI And EOD data obtained from eSignal for symbol YM? Examples of 2 of the largest differences: 9/18/02 Yahoo close: 8172.45 eSignal close: 8095...

I'm a newcover to this thread. Including this thread and a previous one, it looks like about 500 messages! Is there a summary somewhere or can something describe what's going on in a nutshell? It sounds like many traders are using Jack's methods profitably, correct? Thanks, Brooks

Thanks for posting. That thread is 141 messages and points to another one that is 343 messages. Before I read almost 500 messages, could you say a little more - just what is this in a nutshell? Are you trading this Jack Hershey's method successfully and how long have you been doing...

This is supposedly a popular tool combining both fundamental and technical analysis. Reportedly, 8000 people/month attend their free seminars and 139,000 people have taken their training. I've seen the software it appears to be a nice product, well designed and integrated. Its $40-50/month...

I'm been studying and doing simulated intraday trading when I recently picked up a book by Larry Williams. If you aren't familiar with his work, he is not big on T.A. and intraday trading. He relies on research, statistics and interday trades, often lasting 2-4 days. He makes some good...

I know about the Denver Trading Group in Colorado and the AAFT in Austin, TX. I travel a lot and like to meet traders in different parts of the country. Are there any other groups in Texas, New Mexico, Florida or other states? Brooks

Thanks for the post. So it seems that Decisionbar is a viable product. How is the support? Have you found other users? Is there any type of a forum? Brooks

Multichart claims to work with EL code. http://www.tssupport.com/products/multicharts/ Is anyone using it? Decision Bar is a somehow related product. http://www.decisionbar.com/ Any feedback on either product? Brooks

I disagree that they are meaningless. It does give a general idea of the relative risk of one to the other on an intraday basis. It wasn't really intended to be used for calculation of returns. You could also look at the margin required for each ... Brooks

Thank you.

Maybe I made an error. Why not import the quotes into Excel, do the math and post the results? I checked my work at it looks like the range varies from 36 to 346 (6/23/05). In the first 13 trading days of this month, I see 100+ ranges on 7 days: 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 12th, 17th, 18th...

I've come to the conclusion that some type of trailing stop is needed in order to capture larger profits (when they are available). I think any type of fixed profit is really scalping in one form or another and, if used as the only profit taking method, goes against "cut your losses short and...
