1) I wish I had taken the time to do some self discovery. If I had paper traded various styles of trading I could have saved some time focusing on what suited my personality best. 2) Journal. I should have started a journal on day one. 3) Understanding that there is no "holy grail". There is...

Jimmy sounds a bit retarded judging from his reply to me. :D

WTF is up with people? :rolleyes: Did it ever occur to you that some people trade short term? I look at my trades and the majority are under 10 minutes. Am I going to take my eyes off the tape just so I can "post" the trade here? It ain't going to happen.

:p

So an armed robber is a "petty thief" in your world? The armed robber is now dead instead of committing more armed robberies and potentially shooting to death one of his future victims.

This morning (10/08/2015) between 4 and 5am CST was a great example. Just by watching the DOM I was able to see a guy scooping up every market sell order on the tape with an iceberg. It was a very low risk trade. No heat at all and I ended up with 20 ticks on each of two contracts.

In supply chain management......

:rolleyes: So guns will magically disappear if we pass a law? Last time I checked there was a law against killing an innocent person but it is regularly ignored. Will people comply with a gun ban law?

That's the thing; even if it were useful who has the time to read the tweets?

In other words "curve fit". :rolleyes:

Pffft..... "Some traders........" I have absolutely no use for Twitter. I trade one product and watch the order flow. I may not know "why" it is moving but I will know it before anyone can receive and comprehend a Twitter tweet. Giving the benefit of doubt "maybe" it would be useful for stock...

In my humble opinion indicators suck if you are attempting to trade short term (5 - 10 minute trades). Every indicator out there is lagging as FXTraderSK mentioned. You are not doing yourself any favors by wasting time trying to find a magic indicator. Why do I feel this way? Years of trying to...

I am currently debating about getting this monitor. I have a four monitor setup now but it would be nice to have all four displays on one screen. I do not use any indicators just the time&sales/Dom and various naked charts. It would be nice to see them all at once instead of having to look at...

If you include the people using guns to kill themselves. Suicides with guns outnumber homicides 2:1 .

It has to be true; it is on an internet meme......:p

In my opinion that "squirrely" price action is what makes TA/indicators useless in short timeframes.

Yep. My theory is that TA may work but the shorter your timeframe becomes the less useful it is.

Yep. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice (or more).

Zonal Trading is a combination of two Bill Williams Indicators: Awesome Oscillator and Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator. As usual someone has combined and tweaked an old indicator calling it their own.:rolleyes: No idea if it works or not; I don't use indicators. Best way to prove it to...
