ES scalpin for the day...+11.75 on 9 trades. Hmmm, I think there's something to this 123 pivot stuff :)

Are you trading more than 1 contract? If so you can exit the 1st contract when momentum slows down to lock in some profit. Then use the 2nd contract to let it ride. If it comes back, you take a BE on it, and you still got something. If it keeps going then even better. One thing I think a...

Yeah, I've been using 3min charts lately, was suggested to me by Piscuy. Is slow enough that you have time to watch the setup build, while still providing enough opportunities. Was also watching a 610 tick today, courtesty of an Anek suggestion :)

1st trade looks ok to me, although I'm not quite sure why you got stopped out. Seems like there was enuff room to grab a few pts, before it pulled back, or at least take a BE.

Hi Jack, The horizontal lines that I have marked are the entries. Once price breaks that line by 1 tick, I enter. Basically I am marking the signal on bar 3 of the 123. When the next bar breaks the signal line, the trade is on. The arrows indicate the entry bar. I think you're...

Thanks fish. Yep, it's all really good stuff. Simple ideas, powerful results. Enjoy the holidays!

Thanks Chiu. The stop is based purely off of what I have been seeing as the normal noise on the setups I am taking, and my aversion to risk. If I'm in a trade and it moves against me 1.25, 95% of the time it means I was wrong. I'd rather get out with a small stop, and look to re-enter on...

Thanks P. If it wasn't for the guidance from yourself and Anek, I wouldn't have believed it was possible myself. Cheers to you guys for making a difference.

Thought I'd explain my money management strategy, maybe useful for somebody else.... Set a fixed 1st target of +1.5 pts with a stop of -1.25 (less if the high/low of the trigger bar allows it). Once the bars start forming I use the high/low of the previous bar +1 tick and move the stop as it...

Scalpin the ES today.... +11.25 on 7 trades.

Today's ES trades, scalping pivots....

Yeah, I just need it for trading. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions... gnome - 3 Dell guy - 0 :D

Gotcha, Thanks!

Hmmm, would there be any cards compatible with the new spec? Or would the current PCIe cards still work with it?

Nice, I am thinking about getting the 530s. Was thinking the same thing though, order with no video card and just add 2 dual cards. I checked and it looks like the NVS 285 and 280 come in the small form fit, so they should work in the slim case. Thanks for the info!

I see, so it's the mounting bracket that affects the fit, not the card itself? Good to know.

Thanks for the info! Hmm, I need to run 3 monitors, but the issue is that the system I am looking at has a slim design, so it limits the number of cards that will work. I guess I could just get two matrox dual cards, I saw that they have options for low-profile cards.

Right, I didn't mean PCI in a PCIe slot or vice versa. Just meant that for the PCI card it said it was compliant with any PCI slot and for the PCIe card with any PCIe slot. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, I figured as much about the "Dell guy". In regards to the compatibility issue, are different brands of cards not compatible? Do you have to have all the same cards?

That's what I thought. The guy was telling me if upgraded to a video card from the integrated graphics, that would take up the PCIe x16 slot, and that was the only slot that would work for graphics, so I wouldn't be able to add any other cards.
