Hello everyone - I'm only familiar with usual futures contracts like YM, ES etc. and have a question to people familiar with different futures from around the world: which futures are low volatility but at the same time have enough liquidity. By low volatility I mean not that "low"...

With about the same probability of Dow & ES going the same way.

I have a question: what's wrong with Grob's methods? I mean I read some of his threads and found a lot of really useful information that improved my trading, such as FTT thing for example. I don't trade his system, prefer things that I selected on my own, but some of Grob's points, since I...

Thanks, I saved all your charts from "Interesting Charts". It's very interesting that you trade ES cause I find it's .25 tick a bit large (for me) at even 3 min TF and that's why I mostly trade ER2. Try to add AAPL and moderately successfull with it, but don't feel it's rythm yet and thus...

Hi Golinglite, Great posts! 50CCI you use much like DrBob describes, right? BTW, what markets do you mostly trade with your CCI techniques? I try to not "get stacked in a box" but seem to be cause I feel like clued to ER2, but would like to trade something else as well to diversify...

trader28 is right, Woodies system is much less dependant from CCI than from basic trading principles (let the profits run, cut losses short) which Woodie strictly follows. I attended his seminar this summer and saw with my own eyes how he makes his money. He actuylly does, but as I said it's...

MA kiss method has been around for a very long time and is really good at least for me. Actually my staple method is MA kiss with candlestick and volume analysis. But recent experiments with your method are quite successfull also. :)

LOL. As trader28 said right, method is probably only 5% of success. And hedgies know this like no one else. They don't need to do anything, most traders financially kill themselves without "help". :D And BTW, method works just fine on any other good trending market as well. For me, for...

Thats exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!

Hello everyone - I need a list of NYSE and NASDAQ stock symbols in plain text format which is easy to cut and paste. Would really appreciate any information on where I can get it. Best regards Janis

Does it mean we can buy the dips on Monday and Tuesday, hold it into closing and be profitable in the long run (at least theoretically)?

Trader28, Today's market made a very important question to be born in my mind. :) The question is: how do you identify choppy market when it's better to stay out? Today I got whipsawed around 9SMA like crazy several times and though overall profitable for the day, winrate is small and...

OK, I see, so you prefer to identify exit point realtime depending on price action and indicators only... I'm aware of such concept (if I remember right, Jack Hershey calls this "washing trades"), but it looks a bit scary at first, guess some more experience is needed to use it optimally.

So you don't use the hard stop at all? What if the price moves too far too fast?

Trader28, Regarding stop-management: did I understand it right that you have a fixed stop of 10 ticks, but usually exit before it gets hit depending on market conditions?

Yes, the word "definately" definately CANNOT be applied to markets. :D Zero line cross short cancelled and morphed into long signal...

At least now it definately (if only this word can be applied to markets) looks like there WILL be a retracement. :D

Trader28, Yeah I see you already have this principle (time stop) built in the system. Also just made some manual backtesting and saw that your way of entering more agressively (on break above/below 9SMA with MACD looking like it's going to crossover) indeed allows to tighten the stops...

The system is indeed very good, but I still have hard times in managing stop-losses. With 2 points TP it is vital SL to be 1 point or less, but putting it arbitrary makes it being hit very often (1 point is less than ER2 usual noise) and waiting for price to close above/below MA with MACD...

trader28, I understand your "night trading" feelings well, because I live in Russia (GMT6+ TZ) and my trading session begins 20:30 and ends 03:15. The downside of it is being sleepy in the case if woke up early in the morning and feeling quite lonely (no sense that there is a peak of activity...
