what the hell is 6e? Hey all I am thinking of purchasing the lifetime license for Ninja Trader, any CL traders have experience with NT for trading CL, any things to watch out for...major complaints? thanks I read some review that said it had problems trading the cl futures contract.......thanks

ND, How did you do today? The last choppy day you had a bunch of b/e trades.......there were some 30 pointers.....61 off the bottom up, etc during the trading day.......and if you caught the maximum moves the first 1 and a half there were some possibilities......but the bots and scalpers...

nd, did you play that breakout today at 77.45ish.....? how much slippage did you get on that move? and are you just using booktrader to use your buystops on that breakout trade, how do you like booktrader for buystops, any technical failings? thanks

gee cisco really ruined the bulls plan to move this up 40 points for the open tonight:...wallstreet is so crooked:0

you obviously weren`t trading when the european debt crisis hit 93 to 64.....on the extremes...in what 2-3 weeks...i forget but copper went from 3.70 to 3.00......the real problem is that every strategy has negatives....the problem with reversion to the mean is that when your buying brand new...

yep huge draws across the board, but they were so bad last week that i expect good draws in products with maybe a 2mil draw in crude...they have 8 mill....but it could be as refiners finally draw on more oil to ramp up refinery utilization for the products replacement cycle.....if this would...

there have been some rumblings out of europe, started last week (nite weakness in Euro) even in face of rally.....................portugal, ireland, spain, greece........then bulls ran everything up as much as they could and boom reversal.......................the moves in silver in just 5...

there is some stuff brewing behind the scenes with bond markets in ireland, greece again, the euro has been looking a little weak, i wouldn`t be surprised now that the fed stuff is over, people start focusing on europe again......I wouldn`t be surprised if euro breaks 1.40 on monday.

YEP, the scalping mentality affects the way you see markets after too much scalping, it becomes habitual where you take the easy 7 pointer, and leave 60 points on the table with no heat if you just held the position for 12 minutes longer, if nothing else to give it a chance to turn into a bigger...

that was a good trade, the fact that europe opened an hour later to day light savings time hurt that trade,.

what broker, what is gui?

ND, I use ib`s booktrader, there are things i really like about it, button trader just doesn`t feel right to me, but have investigated nTrader much more there are things i don`t like like having to use control keys for certain stop designations, i don`t want a keyboard at all in my...

Because I trade for a living I need to lock in a minimum profit of $300/day just to cover monthly expenses. I want capture the "meat" of intraday swings in CL, building up profit throughout the session. If I'm looking at an unrealized gain of 30-, 40-, or 50- ticks and hold through the retrace...

I started trading CL live in April and by mid-May I settled into a particular set of strategies, spent a huge amount of time studying and honing them, and traded CL almost exclusively with few exceptions. I trade for a living and am also very much a work-in-progress. My monthly net...

Sunday Night: Short bias with mostly sideways action Monday Day: 3 econ reports should be interpreted slightly positive-my take we get slight boost from reports but all fadeable rally`s Tuesday: Election energy and new money coming into market-again slightly positive, bat short any moves...

I use buy/sell stops as you described. I place them far in advance to avoid major slippage. By placing them far in advance even the most powerful breakout results in little or no slippage. I made the mistake of placing a sell stop at the last minute once because I wasn't focused on my trading...

ND, For your breakout trades, what front end do you use (Ninjatrader) and do you just put buystops for long breakouts, and sellstops for short breakouts? So for example you put a buystop 1 point ahead of previous high, and have your 15 point stop, with a 20 point target....you must be...

you have a bag of 8-12 setups, and you are constantly studying, reading tape, refining, adapting, looking for new setups.......you drop the old antiquated ones, and replace them and keep up or you retire, or move on to different markets................some pit traders adapted to electronic...

you may have a setup that works every time for 4 months straight and boom, it stops working because the market has erased the edge, happens all the time, markets are constantly changing especially with programers going over tape every day seeking to exploit edges.
