I'm going to have to agree with the nassau on this one. With all of the safeguards IB has in place to kick you out/warn you/etc etc, how hard is it really to have a warning that the market is locked limit down? I use IB as my primary for futures, but for options I use ThinkOrSwim. They have...

Please confirm that you were able to take a long position AND that you were not warned that the market was "locked". I think that is what you are saying.

Anyone who reads the above post will be completely misled. The above post is on par with the famous goatse link from a few years back. Completely unrelated to the topic at hand. IB has been above board and honorable regarding staying out of the shenningans of the current financial crisis...

trackstar (anyone), Have you taken the wolfe wave training offered by wolfewave.com? Regards, John

gartley222, Would you be able to post anything else you may follow, i.e. chart or comments? I find everything you've posted so far to be fascinating. Also, any suggestions regarding books/web sites etc? I purchased Suri's book and it is excellent. I immediately put a lot of it to use...

Could you elaborate on your post from 03 Sep 2008? You posted a chart. I think I know what you intend to show but a couple of sentences would be very helpful. I don't follow the down arrow other than the obvious.

Sorry for the dumb question, but according to the chart then we are looking at a down move in the chart, correct?

yoohoo, Any updates for our current rather remarkable time period. A brief look at your work from your last post to today would be very appreciated. Regards, John

Also note that I knew that the weekly pivot point was: 114-265 The above trade, i.e. knowing that a bounce would be forthcoming, and knowing that a short anywhere near the double 00's would give you at least a single short trade is money in the bank. In retrospect, knowing how much we...

I had quite an interesting trade in the 10 year futures on the 1323 EST 1 min bar. I was pretty much done for the day having already bagged my daily limit and was only watching and trading a single ZN lot to kill some time before retiring for the evening (I'm in a different time zone than...

My best piece of advice to you is to determine the best times to trade and to decide in your mind that you really don't need to be continuously in. By time, I don't necessarily mean an exact time like 0900 EST, but more of when $TICK is doing this and my 15 min to 60 min study shows that we...

Here is my contribution for price action only, trading of the ZB 30 year bond futures. I use the pitchfork for S/R. I don't really need it as single bars tell me all I need to know, however, it keeps me from over trading. All trades were short. The first I meant to enter higher, but it was...

BuyYourFreedom, andas, Thanks for the help. Best to all and I hope to contribute to this thread soon. Regards, John

Jimmy, Thanks. I'll do as you suggest and read up a bit more. If I have problems I'll take you up on the TS code. For now, I'll read. John

Has anyone followed Al Brook's articles in Futures Magazine? I skimmed right over them as they required some effort to read, i.e. you had to count back and forth based on a bar number he provided in the graphic. I was reading some back copies and decided to actually read his articles word...

txgrillguy, and andas, Thank you for your posts. Very informative. andas (or anyone), I'm trying out ninjatrader for 3 months and would like to use it with the anek techniques detailed here and other journals. Any links to where to locate the indicator setup? Just tell me where to...

I would have to partially disagree. Would most people be better off not trading today, sure, but if you live in Asia and look for 2 - 3 trades then the 0315 to 0350 EST approach to 1224 as well as the 0520 to 0530 EST approach to 1219 were both clear cut, standard, sell a retracement set-ups.

I haven't received an email for today. I scrolled back to Friday in this thread and see nothing posted for today. Am I missing something?

Makes you wonder. I wonder why ET continues with subpar forum software? Allowing a Thread OP the option of no replies or screening the replies would go a long way towards avoiding abuse. Then we don't have to put with with crybabies, whiners, and strange moderator threats.

Amen. One of the best threads in ages on ET and if the whiners don't ruin it we now have to worry about the moderators.
