i believe the biggest achievement done by Zanger that he redefined the very definition of "dumb blond" :) glad for me, too :)

i think it's all about money management. that's it. you can use non-perfect (always) system (mechanical or your own informed judgement) in non-perfect world, and you could be wrong in more than 40% of cases, and, still, using money management, you win. and i'm not telling you you should...

yeah, it's interesting. i was wondering what was going on and is so wrong with this f*king trin for the last 3-6 months. now i know :)

Active Trader Magazine - August 2004 Dan Zanger's sink-or-swim trading http://www.chartpattern.com/cf/images/new/articles/active-trader-article.pdf

goto hell, spammer

the statement that Dan does not short is not correct at all. it's true that he did not short in bull market much. his style reminds me another trader, Harry Boxer, at least a little bit. both of them like channels inside channels, use similar patterns and respect the dynamic volume...

thanks for info. But! when their comission is relatively low, the mandatory (if you don't generate zillion transactions per month for them) monthly fees for X_Trader are expensive (~$650) https://www.globalfutures.com/secure/webforms/matrix.asp rippoff! i better stay with my IB...

life could be useless for some very patronizing individuals, too :) i was able to figure out that this particular post of yours was pretty useless. why? again -- too generic. convenient? yes. to the point? no. i did not read all your posts in other topics/forums where you possibly...

For the record, I read John Carter's book, and watched some free videos of his live trades on his web site. My opinion -- 1) he has a system, and it works for him, in general, pretty good. 2) honest guy, he does not hide occasional losses I did not buy anything from him, and use...

I wrote my own scripts walking some extra mile after getting started with the following links which were of great help for me: Trading From chart with Amibroker blog.tipster.ca http://blog.tipster.ca/2008/08/trading-from-chart-with-amibroker.html...

if the target is to make some money in market, the definitions are not exactly your friend. both gambling and trading require discipline. using discipline, you have much more chances in trading. as far as I can have my balance positive each week, and it's growing, I don't care how is...

AD-NYSE also: AD-AMEX AD-NASD TICK-NYSE TICK-AMEX TICK-NASD tip: use search field in TWS (right top corner). in Amibroker: AD-NYSE-NYSE-IND TICK-NYSE-NYSE-IND etc

successful trading is not more about technical skills (they are also important), but rather about giving much higher priority to the money management technics and learning and understanding yourself. I can tell you -- you don't know youself. Investigate your psychology in the "moments of...

Lorenzo, are you talking about regular day session, or after hours? At around 11:30PM-12:00PM EST, IB has its "moment of truth" :) Everybody experiences the same EXPECTED trouble(s) in this particular moments (relatively narrow time window)-- it's technical time (not for us, traders, but...

for trading, I would use the most powerful laptop, but with the standard outdated inner screen. After all, you gonna attach 2-4 external monitors, anyways, and rarely will trade outside your desk, probably, just in cases of real emergency, or traveling, etc. or something like this. Trading...

I'm not dumping this software, because, definitely, it has its merits and MUCH better than many others. But we are talking about the best of the best softwares available in the market TODAY. After trying a lot of them, you become very picky sometimes. I kinda like DOM realization and...

I ignore the settlement price, and use standard formulae. Works for me. I did not investigate thouroughly, but looks like just formula without any involvement of the CBOE settlement is working even better. At least the price respects my pivots almost religiously that is not the case with...

I think time resolved this discussion, did not it? And looks like daytraders (as we're won). Amen :) Investors probably better invest into various shorting instruments aka ETF with shorting leverage, etc. at least for a while... plus, I would sell any rallies, too even Buffett...

After market changes everything. so, it's rather time frame sensitive thing. so, to rephrase, it could sound that there are times when you're smart and when not much, unfortunately. there is no just single one universal receipt. plus definition of "smart" is also kinda fuzzy :) at least...

I installed NinjaTrader MULTIPLE times, 1/2 year ago, and recently, and in both cases it either crashes on me, or does not support connection to IB. Of course, I enabled API/Activex/DDE and received free activation code by email. Plus, it's very cumbersome to add different instruments to...
