Hey, come on now. Don't hold back. I don’t always agree with you but I still am interested in hearing what you have to say! I’ve said it before; I hope you stick around even if you’re a bit caustic at times.

Now that'd be a contest! Dog vs. Clown. Whoa! I'd pay to see that one.

I quit.

jwcrim, to answer your question: Just wanted to give credit where it was due. ;)

I’m not real sold on the futures “predictive” power. I did use them to help trade stocks a while back but I found it frustrating. My trading partner has found that he prefers focusing on the stock rather than trying to filter its movements through the futures. I have no doubt that there...

There are a lot of complaints about TS Platform on the Omega List. Subscribe to the list at omega-list@eskimo.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject line. You'll get a lot of noise in your mailbox but you can ask some of the users for an opinion.

Your data provider may or may not provide futures data depending on the your setup. The leading indicators Magna and others refer to are the S&P 500 (SP) and the Nasdaq 100 (ND) large futures contracts. These are based, of course, on the indexes of the same name, also referred to as "the cash"...

I agree. I think that cutting losses is only part of the puzzle. I also feel that assigning 90% of success in trading to psychology is a bit overstated. Knowing how and when to let profits run is a major obstacle for new traders. Well, it was for me. :) As EnterLong mentioned, I have found...

Jeez, that is really funny. I can't get this stupid grin off my face. :)

I may be assuming incorrectly, from a previous post, that you are currently trading HS. Who is your data provider? CQG doesn't offer data for the HKE, but I am going to try to change that.

Bing Wong, How is the liquidity? I see the big contract trades more than the Mini. Are you trading through IB? What's the scoop with the HS100? Couldn't get any data on it. Thanks.

I personally have found EOD analysis very rewarding in helping to evaluate which side of the market I may favor. Many days EOD doesn’t give me much of an idea as to the next day’s bias but on occasion I find it has helped to determine how I may chose to play a daytrade. For instance, I...

Absolutely! My experience exactly.

I am back to the futures but I traded the Q’s for a short time. IMHO, a dime will get you snuffed, in most cases. The Q's would bounce all over while the futures tended to stay within certain parameters. Very noisy. I used a measure of volatility to set my stops and relied on futures data for...

I'm flat for the month. I would say that I've found the choppy water a little hard to tread. Should have gone on vacation for the summer.

I respectfully disagree with you, Sniper. I have no problem with someone speaking with passion and excitement, but there is a time and a place for everything. I personally felt the remarks were made at the wrong time and the wrong place. Getting run through in the market is bad enough without...

I didn’t get a chance to answer your question the other day so I wanted to include some of my thoughts on the subject. If your new to programming, ease of use is a consideration, but the amount of educational information available and the software’s ability to meet your needs as you develop...
