One of the best books for intraday/short term patterns is "Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakouts" by Tony Cabrel. I think its out of print. You might find a copy at ebay. All of the patterns have historic data on number of trades, success etc...

I ALWAYS use a market order when trading ES and NEED to enter/exit. The other times I may try and bid or offer. If you can capture half the spread on a round turn you've done well.

I think this (stop running) happens alot. The thing to remember is you are really trading blind compared to the mm's and especially the specialist. As an example, if a mm has a order for size to buy and he sees, or suspects, there are stops nearby, why not run the price to stops, pick up some...

I thought Globex limited to number of contracts you could trade to alot less than a few hundred. Has this been changed? If you can in fact trade that kind of size, I would wonder why anyone would trade the full size contracts in the pit.

I asked to beta test the new Universal Account and received approval the other day. I haven't funded yet. My universal account is set up to trade equities, options on equities, futures, options on futures, forex and the the Hang Seng. One thing that is a little troubling is a disclaimer stating...

The PDT rule, although well intentioned, is a bad rule. A trader that attempts to enter a stock and gets stopped out 3 times because he has good money management skills, is being penalized. There is a correlation to success and account size, but whose to say, on an individual basis, that one...

I demo'd AIQ a while back. Didn't like the charts cus you cant place blank space to right of current bar (makes it hard to read). With Metastock you can specify the number of bars to the right you want blank, this alows you see the current bar and "shift forward" indicators. I know its a...

Another stock with good vol and range is SEBL. Currently about $18/share so you can probably trade 1000 with no problem.

You may want to check the April 2002 issue of Futures Magazine. There's an article on page 64 titled "What are asset allocators looking for?"

Why not just look at the chart and observe if the security is making higher highs & higher lows vs lower lows and lower highs?

I am a serious wino myself. Try some of the Chilean and Australian wines-good value for the $$$. Los Vascos is one Chilean that I really like. Costs about $8. The reserve is excellent, about $11. Also the J Vidal Fluery Ventoux ($8), I like better than the Cotes du Rhone. Another great wine...

John Sweeney has written some good articles along these lines. I believe he popularized MAE (maximum adverse excursion). This tells you where to set your stop for maximum effect. Many new traders will use too tight a stop, which basically just garantees you a bunch of small losses. He used...

To each is own. I would not take this trade because I think is probabaly going lower befor it goes higher. But if you are going to trade the short term moves you almost have to be going against the crowd. I had my eye on LU today because it was up on a clearly negative day for the group...

I currently use IB. Really like the cheap commish, but due to recent system problems and the poor customer service, I feel I really need to have a backup for stocks. I trade both stocks and futures. I have a backup for futures with Smart Futures ($7 r/t, Jeff Pearl 1-888-778-7234). Thanks.

I'm game. Although I may not do it EVERY night, I would be happy to post when available.

There is more value in this thread than a newbie will ever realize.
