As I mentioned before, Mav could be right. For myself, I would prefer to stand aside from the equities market. Based on my sense of risk management, It is difficult to get paid well enough to take the portfolio risk. This is a subject that Taleb talks about in "Dynamic Hedging" and I've heard...

You might be right. Good Luck.

Chuck: Thanks for the info. I will look into the product.

Guys: Based on the posts I am reading here I got to say something. I feel bad stepping up here because anything I say is going to sound snotty or arrogant and that is not what I want. Look, your not up to speed on the basics (everybody). You are competing with floor traders who don't know sh#t...

Breakout: Looking at your method I have to ask the obvious questions. What is the maximum drawdown a trader can expect using this system over any period (i.e. 1 year). How many setups can one expect per day, and per month? How long have you traded this system? Does it require a specific type...

To all posters: I have to agree with Ebo. You guys have beaten this horse half to death. Its just pivoits. You still have to decide where to enter, manage the position, and exit. Once you enter, it just like base jumping. You have no choice but to "hang on" and decide when to pull the cord. If...

Mark: I think this offer is a smart move on the part of the broker. There are a lot of folks over at IB who have been waiting for an alternative. If you can make a go of it on the cash flow side, and deliver good service I am sure you will find this brings in a substantial number of traders...

Mbear: I appreciate your comment regarding the software. I looked at the linsoft site and found the display interesting. I am not looking for the software to tell me how to interprete the data. I would rather rely on the written exposition of the author (Steidlemeyer) about how to use his...

OK, The following is copied directly from the Esignal link that Chuck provided. I post it for the benefit of readers who may be using it now and want to offer an opinion as to its value. I would like to know for instance it this description is accurate, and if this new version is useful in...

Thanks for your comments Cheese and Mbear. Chuck, my review of past ET posts disclosed at least one opinion that the Esignal verson was not useful. It is possible that this new version may have corrected past deficits, so I will look into it. It would help it you could elaborate on the...

Sure...If it is true that sooner or later the distribution is going to look like a bell curve, then looking at the current shape, you have an idea of where price is going. In the basic literature, the top and bottom of the distribution are called "buying tails" and "selling tails" for instance...

OK, While I'm waiting to hear comments, I'm going to put out a little more info hoping that someone with a bit of a math background will take a second look. Based on a quick review of the concept, I see that the display is basically modelled after a bell curve, only this one is set on its side...

To all Posters: I am interested in Market Profile Software. I've read the available posts but I didn't see much elaboration on the subject. I believe Ensign, Aspen, ESignal and CQG have studies integrated into their packages, and my review of internet sources reveals that Steidlemeyer has his...

Vienna: I liked your comment regarding Dr. Tharp's assertions. I have read most of his published work including "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" and "Financial Freedom Through Electronic Day Trading" written with Brian June. I think Dr. Tharp has become quite sophisticated in presenting...

Chris: Thanks for the review of your day. By the way, do you trade through the lunch hour (EST)? Fast Trader: I trade the DAX because it seems to trend more often and with more "impulse" moves. I watch bid/ask noting the number of contracts that move through in a particular time period and...

Chris: Congratulations on a good day. Its great that you are able to pull out a few points on a day like this. I happen to be more interested in losers than winners just now. Can you share with me what your biggest losing trade was? Normally I am trading the DAX where my largest loser was 2.5...

NeedHelp: If you have trouble pulling the trigger long or short, it is probably because you don't have enough confidence in your decision. I feel like that periodically, and when I do, I ask myself a simple question, "what is missing from my pre-market preparation?". Usually, I haven't done...

Try Man Financial in Chicago. They offer trading for all domestic and most overseas markets, with multiple direct (redundant) connections. You can enter trades through an order desk, or try one of the electronic platforms. They will negotiate commission rates if your volume is sufficient. I...

Bob: I think one the best resources may be the Eurex Exchange. Following is the URL (http://www.eurexchange.com/index.html) In addition, there are discussion board that may be more help to you. Following is a URL for the Eurostox50 board based in the UK...

To Everyone: I am also unable to logon. Too bad. I hope this clears up before market opens (I trade the DAX). Between this and the disconnects that happen at least several times a week, I have to ask myself, "what the hell did I get myself into"? I'd like to know if the folks at Ffasttrade are...
