I didn't see you post that you were looking for 80 points when you entered that trade. Perhaps I missed it. It does look like you are making up the rules as you go along. If I did miss it, apologies in advance:)

Not impressed by T day but I think we will have a bounce tomorrow.

Then you would say he faked the blotter, like this one I made earlier:)

Thunderdog, I think it is a shame but this site seems to be full of people who think others are not capable of exercising their own judgement. Sorry to be critical:) At least your post gave me a good laugh. I have no intentions of following any poster who posts here but I do like to...

I do think that volente_00 gets a bit too much criticism on this thread. There seems little reason to think that he is leading up to selling something and even if he is, aren't we allowed to make our own minds up? I used to spend time having a go at other posters but it doesn't do anything...

Interesting volente_00. I did some stats a while ago and have just dug up the spread sheet. Not sure if it is 100%, as I am not that good with excel but I did get Monday as a slightly positive day. There wasn't much in it, so I didn't bother looking any further. I also remember reading...

Why don't you show us yours as a good example?

JMowery1987, If you get wound up that easily, perhaps you should forget about trading. I was just replying to your post, not having a dig. You might have a reason to be mad with porgie but why lose it with everyone else?

There are systems that are consistently profitable but why would the people who use them tell anyone about them? I am not going to reveal mine and I am sure there are even better ones around.

Porgie, I agree with most of what you say and I am working on a few systems of my own. Still interested in the draw down you have with your system. I can get out at B/E on most trades but some of them take the scenic route. I also prefer looking for times when a trend is going to continue...

porgie, I am still not sure how you can spot a turn and get out at B/E at worst if the trade goes wrong. What is your average draw down? I think we all have to find our own methods of trading. What works for one person probably wont work for another but how do you find out if you don't try?

But how do you go from being a novice to someone who never makes a loss? Perhaps you could tell us how to trade and get out at breakeven at worst every time. Is there anyone here who has been able to just make profit doing this and hasn't had to learn how to deal with having a few losses along...

porgie, Why do you think volente_00 is a gambler? If he is a gambler who consistently wins more than he loses, is that a bad thing? There are many people who make millions gambling. How long would a losing gambler be able to win more than they lose? I would be interested to see your...

There isn't one day. Sept contracts expire next week, December ones in 3 months time.

I can't see much difference this week. You are on the old contract, so perhaps changing to December might help.

I think there is a slight time lag with the QT chart, as it looks to be slightly behind my ensign chart. Just checked the clock on my PC and it is 4 seconds out but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Just did an overlay for ensign and prophet charts and they are identical...

I have attached the backfilled 10 min chart from QT with IB backfill for the YM yesterday. I have overlayed the chart I was using yesterday from Ensign (yellow and green bars) The QT chart doesn't look right to me. There are several bars that don't look right. My ensign chart matches...

I use autotrader http://autotrader1.home.comcast.net/ It would be great if IB could make a front end that has as good a layout and is as easy to use and functional. Book Trader is a step in the right direction but it doesn't look as straightforward as using autotrader. I also think over...

Still finding my way around the sortware but I do like the circles tool.
