In that vein... I would like to be able to see members who agree to be "verified" as successful traders. (or unsuccessful/beginners for that matter.) It is difficult to have open, meaningful dialogue with people whom we have no assurance actually know what they are talking about. I would...

I would still be willing to give it a shot if it were at least time-prohibitive to cheat. Even a verified trader's words are still relative. If some looser has enough time on their hands to cheat... oh well. At least it would raise the bar a little. I just get frustrated when I see the...

I would like to be able to see members who agree to be "verified" as successful traders. (or beginners for that matter.) It is difficult to have open, meaningful dialogue with people whom I have no assurance know what they are talking about. I would be willing to submit my official trade logs...

Fair enough. I respect your privacy. personally, I am not convinced yet that sharing strategies will necessarily endanger them. We will see.

With respect dgzadok, what are we to gain from looking at your entries? I for one would like to see the indicators <logic> you use in determining these entry points in real-time? (see my post on page 4 for example)

Sorry for taking so long, here is a sample chart from Friday, 2-22-2002 (the chart says Feb 02, that is just the month and year.) We are looking at 1 minute candles, DMI, and volume. The trades I took are indicated by the red and green arrows next to the candles. 4 total over this ~100 minute...

I use OMNITRADER to automate the process of looking for setups. For those who aren't aware of how OMNITRADER works: you give it a list of signals that you are looking for (or select from a pre-defined list of signals) and OT will scan you list of securities for each setup. When OT gives a...

I have about a 80% hit rate. I take a fixed 3-tick stop on the other 3. I discovered this strategy while trying to swing trade/momo trade the mini-es. I found that usually I could always pull a couple ticks out of a good entry signal. But now instead of holding out for a couple points with a...

I use the K-bands as a macro indicator, one I most rely on. I trade K-Band signals that are confirmed by RSI or DMI. And of course, I always trade with the trend. (I have also found Engulfing candles to be a supurb confirmation, also serves to help me backout of a bad setup.)

I scalp the mini-ES 4-10 time a day, 2-4 contracts each. My goal is 2 ticks. I use the following charts: 5-Minute candle chart for TREND (up or down) 1-Minute candles for buy/sell signal (with the trend) Tick chart for the trigger. I use a combination of entry signals (short and...

I would like to start a thread for those of us who are currently trading the ES and would like to share and benefit from other's stories, or are considering trading the ES and are looking for more information before making the plunge. Please keep this thread on topic. I don't want to waste my...

I too feel that simulators are all but useless. They can't simulate realistic fills. The only benefit I can see is in learning to "read" a chart. Surely if one cannot successfully trade a simulator, they could not handle real-world fills. Master the simulator, then move promptly onto small...

Kirshenbaum Bands are similar to Bollinger Bands, measuring market volatility. Bollinger Bands use standard deviation of MA for band width Kirshenbaum Bands use the "standard error of linear regression lines of the close." This has the effect of measuring volatility around the current...

I don't use a system to actually place my trades, however I do use OMNITRADER to automate the process of collecting buy/sell signals that I set. I feel it is a waste of my time to stare at the charts all day when I can glance over, only when something is "happening." An no, the signals don't...

I use a combination of signals... waiting for them to confirm each other. (usually 3 confirming signals, with the trend). Signals I use: RSI peaks DMI Crossover Commodity channel Kirshenbaums

I scalp the mini-ES 4-8 time a day, 2-4 contracts each. My goal is 2 ticks. I use the following charts: 5-Minute candle chart for TREND (up or down) 1-Minute candles for buy/sell signal (with the trend) Tick chart for the trigger. I chart with QCHARTS and use IB as a broker. Hope...

I trade futures with IB and QCharts. I would like to consider trading international futures as well (Australian and Japanese). Does anyone recommend a data vendor for these markets?

Does anyone know what the new margin requirements are for the full S&P contract?

Is it possible to send a daily "digest?" Summary of new messages posted each day. I find it difficult to monitor so many threads and remember where I left off. I love this board, an find it quite helpful. But I don't want to spend THAT much time here :)
