    Using Tradestation as a charting package

    MarketMonk, I currently use NinjaTrader....which has the ACV. The Matrix is lacking in the ACV....which I use for my Scalping. When I Enter a trade with a Market Order....I expect to get filled....almost instantly....and that just didn't happen for me when I tried the Matrix. Scalping...

    Trade all day or stop once a $Target or $Loss is hit?

    does this market seem manipulated???

    ACM Trader, Great comments. For me....manipulation of the market....is a positive thing. Rather than getting caught up in who or what is manipulating the market....a trader has to learn how to take advantage of what is going on. Do I think the markets are manipulated....yes....but that...

    The barless system?

    4XIS4U, Looks great to me....whatever works best for you....is what you should stick with. I decided to play with this a little....try hiding the Line and the Parabolic Sar....from the looks of it....you may be able to use the Ribbon....by itself....similar to this chart. VSTscalper

    Vicious thrusts and fakes in NQ this week

    mtwokay, While the NQ did look great today....personally....I would not switch from the ER2 to the NQ. Below you will see my comparison....I think I got the Highs and Lows correctly. When comparing Dollar movement....the ER2 far surpasses the other major e-mini's....just about everyday...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Nice to see the tread back on topic. This is how I see GMXR....on a 15 minute chart. While I don't trade equities anymore....just Futures....this is how I would trade GMXR. A 15 minute chart would be an eternity for me....since I am really a Scalper....on the Futures. But....the methods...

    Here is a picture of my programming attempt....to Replace the drawing of Trendlines. This is still a work in progress....but....so far....it is working very well....just need some more tweaking of the code. Kind of a combination of a ZigZag and Trendline....in Real Time. This shows the...
