Thanks everyone (you too Nitro), I appreciate the input. I was in a hurry and didn't use the proper notation. I am guessing that most folks got the gist of the post. Best Regards, Steve46

To all Posters: Could be that problems with MyTrack data feed are the reason I could not find evidence of program trading. Currently I am using Tiki (Dow30 tick) to supply evidence of program trades hitting the Dow. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am using the H.L. Camp numbers to serve as...

I almost never use the IB feed, because they do not provide historical data. Normally I use Sierracharts and feed it with Mytrack data. Today for whatever reason, the MyTrack feed died and I happened to have access to Esignal, so I switched over. I am glad that I had it available and running...

Really too bad this had to happen just before a breakout signal on the ES. Oh Well such is life.

MyTrack finally back on track (pun intended), after almost 15 minutes with no data. In the interim, Esignal and IB both functioning just fine.

I switched to Esignal (my backup) and it is working properly.

The Mytrack feed for the ES market has been dead now for at least 5 minutes and counting. Users should be aware of this.

Todays NYSE volume is low, and program trading is running at approx 44% of volume. For that reason, I am using Tiki (Dow30) as an indicator of program trades. (Readings of -/+24-26 show programs comming in). According to H.L Camp, fair value was 1.53 with buy programs at .28 and sells at 2.70. I...

Hello BobbyMurcerFan: I use pivots to help me provide some general outlines for the day's price movement. I use pivots that are automatically calc'd by Sierracharts, and when I am using Esignal, I let that program do the automatic calc there too. I am only interested in the pivots because the...

Sell program at 8:08 PST

Sell program at 7:42PST

I am trying to determine if my datafeed (Mytrack) is accurate. I think I observed a program buy at 7:20 PST. If anyone out there was using a datafeed other than Mytrack and saw the same, please let me know. BTW I am using Sierracharts and looking at 15 min bars. Fourth bar displayed that...

Hi Pabst: Thanks for the kind thought. I did make money (not very much however). I finally learned how to do this (to have a winning game). I don't know if the creative part is the reason. In fact, I think it was the creative part that got me into trouble in the past. Hope you are doing well...

Currency "Crosses" of course.

In retrospect, I see that I have always indentified too much with my successes and failures in the markets. In the past this has cost me greatly, in the toll it has taken on my self image and in the kind of self dialogue that I have engaged in when I have lost. Although I have obtained some...

Hey Thunderdog: It is the type of day where I should not be trading, so I wanted to keep myself away from the temptation to pull the trigger. Regarding your comment, I agree more or less, however I think the reason that authors offer commentary that seems mystical or in some sense removed...

Alright, its a slow day, so I want to mention this for your consideration. Although you suggest that options trading (and by extension options) are in some sense unreal, I believe it can be a dangerous asumption to embrace. Like electricity, options are intangible, theoretical instruments...

Another feature that might help would scan for obvious signs of dementia.

In my opinion, electricity is also "an illusion created between those with power and those without". therefore electricity really doesn't exist.

If Einstein knew so much about gravity, how come his hair stood up like that?
