You are absolutely right. When we leave, Iraq and the world will be better off. Which is why leaving TOMORROW would be an excellent idea. Or, maybe you'd prefer to see a few thousand more Americans die before the stupidty of our aggression finally begins to dawn on the Bushes - father and...

Why have you elected to focus on intraday trading of a futures contract as your first venture into trading? I am going to say something which many (mostly inexperienced) on this site will consider to be heresy, but IMO intraday trading of any instrument is the most difficult way to CONSISTENTLY...

I would strongly suggest that the next time you post material from an author, you obtain their permission. Otherwise you are likely to be talking with their attorney regarding violation of their copyright. You may think I am making a joke. I'm not.

Precisely right. The whole thing is a ridiculous idea, as anyone who has watched ES for even a few weeks will know that news events can set the S&P into a quick gyration and a trading range of many points in a few minutes, and the odds are good that the trade, (or both trades...now that's a...

Your system is just barely marginal in backtesting. In reality a professional wouldn't give you a penny for it. Why would someone want to take on a multiday hold for a possible payoff of only 1-2 percent per trade? There are many equity strategies available that are much more profitable...

I contacted IB last year when I was traveling in Europe to strongly suggest that they offer an alternative browser-based trade station. I was also having problems with TWS, and my main complaint was that when on the road it was very difficult to operate TWS from a public computer, such as an...

That's a good question. To be honest, I have never nailed an exit strategy that works in every market environment, and it used to bug me. But I just gave myself into the fact that "it all depends". My basic exit strategy is a profit target of 4%, at which time I will wait until the close of...

HD lately would not have fit my parameters for a few reasons, not the least of which is that it is has not been oversold by any measure, and the potential for gain isn't worth tying up my capital for a few days. I suppose one could stretch and see that HD was at support in a short term...

Look at price on 9/29. How did it compare to recent average price levels? Then look at intraday action on 9/29 that continued the follow thru. Further, at that time CCU was down in sympathy with Viacom, another media company, and sympathy plays are often very productive. (This is not part...

As a swing trader who also buys pullbacks, I've found that it's important to focus on fundamentals, as well as technical levels that define the pullback. Every stock I trade goes through a monthly selection process that includes factors such as current and projected EPS, PE, PS, VOL and...

I've watched AMT4SWA trade in another room for a couple weeks now. I sometimes think that he's gotten his hands on a chart of the ES a day ahead, he is so accurate in his predictions of price movement. But there there are two downsides to watching him trade. First, at one time or...

IMO, your thinking is way off base. If Saddam had been a supporter of the US, he would still be in power, despite his brutal treatment of his population. We have a long history of supporting despots, so long as they tow the U.S. line, and we feel it is in our national interest. It is very...

As I swing trade good stocks that have been trashed, I've been sorely tempted with the defense stocks. However....if you look at a long term (weekly or monthly) chart going back a few years, you will see that they have the potential for undergoing severe and protracted corrections when the...

I assume here that you're talking about buying for a possible multiday hold as opposed to intraday. If so, gaps caused by up/downgrades are by themselves not consistently tradeable because there are so many other factors involved. However, I do trade gap downs with a good deal of success if...

For anyone interested in seeing how some outstanding traders benefit from divergence in trading ES and NQ, this week NihabaAshi is providing entrance to his trading room, without need of a password. PM him and ask for information on how to gain entry. There is no fee, and from the two...

Responses like yours are PRECISELY why ET is suffering lately from a lack of postings from experienced traders. My comments were obviously meant to help someone who has put a lot of work into a system he is trying to commercialize. But the copy is vague and not well written, and as with...

No need to apologize, but all your hard work will be wasted if you don't get someone to help you clean up your writing on the site.

Typical Hard Rules 1. Percentage gain 2. Points gain 3. Timed Exit (Out at X bars, X days, X minutes, etc.) 4. Parabolic SAR Some Discretionary Rules 1. Indicator-based exits - MA reached or exceeded - Pivot Points - RSI, Stoch or other indicator reached or exceeded...

DANXL - Is English your native language? If it is, you need to do some serious grammer and spell checking on your site. If it isn't, then you should have someone go over it for you.
