Guy, Your argument against the tick chart appears to be that you think volume charts are better but you dont seem to have offered much evidence to support that opinion. My experience to date, without volume charts is that I can create better edges with tick charts vs minute charts on some...

LOL ... I cant really compete with u and nirto. This arrogantly elite "if u don't do it my way you are wrong" is as boring as it gets.

"Gee, I wonder why." dB. I don't know if you Americans use a word that rhymes with merchant banker but you do get boring. And more boring. And more boring. Give it up. Your prepared stuff is good but this is disingenuous rubbish.

Perhaps I have been at this too long. I thought everyone knew that HTMMIS by WJO is How to Make Money in Stocks by William J O'Neill (the Canslim book). Another way to learn futures trading that will excite just as much negativity as Grob is to look up WoodiesCCIclub on the web. Its free...

You could have been on my list ... I get frustrated when the potential for helpful discussion is so often hijacked on this board ... but you have been saved by your sense of humour. I enjoyed "...just between you and me, I have found a way to highjack identities on ET" a lot. The...

nonsense, Are u really nirto. You contribute a lot of rubbish to this forum, which puts you in considerable company, but I guess that a criticism from me won't improve you any. But this is about the third post of yours I have wanted to take a shot at so why not. Peace, Love and other...

"Nothing beats doing your homework. It's the only way." For many, part of the homework might be found in these books; available free at your local library. :)

I read VTs first book and his money management book and then skipped his next one after checking it out in Borders. I bought Douglas's book and skipped Marcel's after scanning it. Not bad but didn't add much for me. I have been a bit of a VT sceptic. Lots of hype and seemingly a lot of ego...

Sierra drove me nuts. So did Ensign... LOL. More complexity is usually more difficult unfortunately. I think QT is fine for some uses but it misses quite a bit I like about Sierra (7 per month) and some things that might make me go to Ensign again (40 per month). It depends what you...

misctrader, I am curious. You say quotetracker is the best but have you tried Sierra or have you tried Ensign? And what is it best for ... what kind of trading and timescale do you use? I once used QT and found it ok for what I was doing but it is pretty limited compared with Sierra or...

DB from Phoenix, What is it about this board that generates such animosity and arrogance? Is it that most traders and wannabe traders are frustrated angry misfits? Surely not. In your posted documents you write rationally and have some very worthwhile comments. Yet on the board you...

My, Good point. I come from the perspective of a day trader who just trades good time periods in my chosen markets and have a flexible view of how long to hold so I missed that. I trade euro in the European morning and US morning to try and get the maximum movement from it. I will hold...

I have to admit that I don't understand the point of view of most posters here. The markets are fractal in nature so you get daily swings within monthly, hourly within daily, 5 min within hour etc. So if you can manage the psychological issues and have acceptable costs, day trading will be...

LOL. He wasnt trading it on the world market last year.

OK sunny. Is wasting peoples time sufficiently rewarding to make up for exposing yourself as another of elite traders halfwits? In what way do you think you exposed the bs in anything? Perhaps you might spend some time reading your math text books to get an idea of what a proof might look like.

No objection to Marks material but to claim either book is well written suggests you have enjoyed reading chemistry textbooks at school. IMO Mark is a very good case for a ghost writer. I agree that Marks books will help more with trading than Vans books but I think that Vans peak...

Does that mean you only have one eye? :D IMO it depends what kind of trading you do and how fast you have to respond. Also how good your eyes are. My day trading is based on 5 and 1 minute bars and I trade euro futures only at present. But I also have a 30 min system running on 3...

I find that there are no simple reentry rules. It depends on many things including the trendiness of your trading vehicle and the reliability of breakouts under different conditions so I would expect to set up specific rules for each different thing I traded. Also the reentry rules would...

You can do it with internet explorer .... go to the favorites folder (in different places depending on your os and may be in multiple places under 2000 or XP say) and drag and drop the favorites. Just open Windows Explorer and do a search for Favorites. If you have XP it will be under your...

Two suggestions: 1) For the bmp. Open it with your graphics package and save it as a different type of file. Microsoft Paint will let you save it as a GIF file which is usually smaller than a JPG file. 2) For the discipline. Write your entry rules out accurately. Make sure that you...
