Internet Options can be accessed through the browser under Tools > Internet Options or through the Control Panel. Its icon looks like the earth with a hammer and a wrench over it. The system administrator may have locked you out, though. As far as a corporate firewall is concerned, I can't...

Try checking to see if Control Panel > Internet Options > Security is set to allow Java to execute. If your settings are not the issue, mabey you should try re-installing Java. Are you running a firewall? NIS can screw up Java permissions. Good luck.

What is the difference, Def. I value your opinion.

Alex, I really feel for you. I feel for all the traders that this new regulation will affect. I don't see any reason why you can't swing trade as you mentioned, though. I have no doubt that this can be just as educational and rewarding for you, given that some of the most successful traders I...

Having traded both the Mini and the Q’s, I can say that I find fills much more reliable in the Mini. This may be a function of my trading style and not indicative of the Q’s except in my situation.

CQG is developing back testing capabilities. The new system also offers automated execution. I'm not sure how it compares, as I have not used its features. It is far more expensive.

Are you able to search the Realtick database by keyword?

Here is a variation that is said to help with overnight gaps by weighting the Pivot Point with the current open. PP = (H+L+C+Todays Open)/4 I have no experience with this, but a trader I know seems to prefer it to the traditional formula.

Absolutely agree with that! It took me a long time to think of a trade as just points and not "my house payment" or some other concrete. I can still have difficulty depending on the size I put on.

ESU and NQU will expire on Sept. 21. It sounds like you are rolling on "Most Active." I can't comment on the "standard", but I favor the most liquid contract.

It seems that you are separating trade management from the concept of a system “that picks winners with any degree of confidence beyond random chance.” The system’s ability to “pick winners with any degree of confidence beyond random chance” is a function of its trade management...

Sh*t Throwing Contests. Ahhhh. My father use to take me to those as a boy. How I miss those good old days.

The system I’m thinking of doesn’t necessarily attempt to predict large trends or trends at all. It seeks to isolate an area of potential exhaustion. The reason it enters a number of times before catching the counter extension is due to its heightened sensitivity to contraindications, a stop...

I don’t think an author’s ideas are useless because he has never traded actively, but I would tend to favor those authors that are more intimately familiar with the practical aspects of applying a theory. I understand where you are coming from tradeRX, but I believe that what you are...

I value any opinion rtharp expresses here and have found his posts informative and enlightening. While I respect spud's assertions, I believe those cases where rtharp may have encouraged others to investigate something he believes is valuable, have never crossed into hype. I want to know what...

Can we review the reviews? Contiguous. Excellent word choice.

I only add additional positions if additional setups and confirmations present themselves in the course of the original trade. The additional positions stand on their own (i.e. their own stops and objectives.)

All this negative publicity just makes me want to go read the book to find out what all the fuss is over. Going out to grab my copy now! ;)

Regarding the 28th, I personally had a good day, but I don't think that means anything. I've had many days when I've struggled and my trading partner had thought the day was a breeze and vice versa. We have very different styles and certain circumstances favor one or both of us.

qwiktrade, Great response! Really.
