    Trading E-minis using moving averages?

    One word of caution using mov avgs. When you get a cross of say the 4 crossing the 9 DURING the time the bar is working it can be a flip flop on both sides of the cross. I wait for the bar to close first and then see if the cross stuck or not. This saves you some trades that might be a loss...

    Trading E-minis using moving averages?

    I use the exponential mov avg on a 5 min chart of ES 4, 9 and 19 periods. More money has been made in stocks and futures with the use of mov avg's than anything else out there. Best trend following indicator for my money. I keep hearing about the lags, well there is not much of a lag...

    women traders on ET

    Because of answers like the above women would rather stay incognito. Some men never grow up and insist on being foolish. Women will become more and more prevalent in this business with electronic entry since jerk men will not make fools of themselves...................:eek:

    Stops

    Backtesting is not trading, backtesting is trying to give you an idea of WHAT might be a possible strat or tactic. To claim something is better than the other merely by backtesting is just pulling the wool over your eyes and hoping this or that will work. Stop the foolishness with the...

    Stops

    Well lets try this: YM or ES mox-nix. If you can trade one you can trade trade the other. Where is the difference? Slight differences will not make or break a good trading plan, the problem is not with the instrument at all. .........We know where the problem lies, either fix it or guit...

    You're ideal system under $3500

    Getting ready to build a new box for when VISTA finally comes out, latest word is around Thanksgiving. Surely msft wants it out before the next holiday season. Was reading in one of the PC mags where a 3D card will be used for partial transparent images on the desktop. Surely 3D is...

    The End...When?

    Another phrase from Yogi Berra: "The Future ain't what it used to be." Think about that one for awhile.....Yogi is on the money. Daily we see another chip falling out from our foundation. A old fella, a WW11 veteran said to me: It is a dam shame to see what has happened to...

    trading without charts...suicide?

    Sounds like an oxymoron. most patterns, pivot points, support, resist spots, points etc might be an "INTERNALIZED" system but most if all are based on or from the price patterns that are ALSO displayed on a chart. Charts serve as a useful tool no doubt. if it is in your head (such as...

    Post Neoconservatism

    Final post on this subject. Anyone that votes for a Republican and is not a rich fat cat and/or a big business person is a total idiot. Why else would you vote for a party that is ruining the country for your children? Folks, if anyone thinks all is swell and fine and dandy for this...
