    MIT (newbie) question...

    Angela, Your question is anything but dumb. I've been thinking about using MIT orders myself. Problem is, it seems none of the cheap brokers seem to offer it. I'm curious for an answer too. Or alternative methods to execute.

    Float Analysis ... Turn over & Chanels

    All of the negatives are mentioned here are valid, but if you look at numerous charts with the float indicator, you'll see almost always that the major bottoms and major tops (like on a weekly chart) fall very close to a 100% float turnover point. I am not trading stocks at the moment, but...

    Why Does Anyone Use Elliot Wave Theory At All?

    Did you guys ever hear of of a chap by the name of Paul Tudor Jones? I think he'd be all too happy to hear you're thoughts on EWT.

    Bundlemaker, a quick question.

    LOL coffee,I still don't know what to make of you. Are you my alter ego, just delayed slighty. You ask questions that frightenly parallal my own path. Are you bating me on something? Are you someone I know? And why do you ask these questions in the forum instead of PMing me. Oh well, I may just...

    How to end the search for the holy grail?

    Since I haven't seen anyone mention the path I took to my "holy grail" I'll give you my two cents. I just kept looking at every idea I could investigate. The list included Gann, Elliott Wave, conventional TA, individual gurus, seminars, books, web sites, other traders, Woodie, Murrey Math...

    The Flip-A-Coin trading strategy and lessons learned from it

    Abogdan, Thank you. Frankly, I only barely understand what you are describing; so the following is stated in the context of a sincere student: 1) I suspect that combining certain chart patterns with watching the bid/ask volume (as I do using esignal formula for this) produces at least a...

    The Flip-A-Coin trading strategy and lessons learned from it

    My take on this is it is not too late. Markets don't turn on a dime. I have discovered two very simple chart patterns that do a superb job of divining market particapants expectations (ie. their pychology). Abogdan, I am most sincere when I express my interest in your ideas. But, so far you...

    The Flip-A-Coin trading strategy and lessons learned from it

    abogdan, You have my attention. I have seen a couple of very good traders using candlestick charts, claiming they were buying support and selling resistance. Only problem was, they kept changing the definitions. I slowly came to the conclusion that these traders didn't (consciously)...

    The Flip-A-Coin trading strategy and lessons learned from it

    coffeezoo, I am humbled by your comments. IMO, there are two basic ways to break existing patterns. The first is by doing something; ie. literally changing your behaviour. It could be making a funny noise, getting up for a walk, changing your daily schedule, doing something outrageous...

    The Flip-A-Coin trading strategy and lessons learned from it

    coffee has asked me to comment...so I will (but don't know why I was asked, care to comment on that coffee?) What NET has described is not terribly far off from my own path. It is what I have tried to convince others of on this board (and elsewhere) for eons. You can NOT know what will happen...

    Traders' Coach (Woman)

    If you consider where emotions and psychology come from, you can begin to realize that it's not only important, it's virtually all there is. This is the reason why Paul Tudor Jones hired Tony Robbins many years ago when he (TJ) was in a slump. Humans are animals, and as such are creatures of...

    No ES quotes on IB

    Ok, I figured out what's going on. If I select CME for route, no quotes, if I select Globex, it's fine. Can someone explain why these 2 choices exist?

    Playing the Saddam Gap

    I never cease to be amused by the certainty that so many people have over their opinions. Thank you one and all for reminding me on trading is NOT about.

    buying a second home in the USA

    ADX, Florida is larger than many countries. You really need to visit and check everything out. It depends on your budget and what kind things you like to do. I have a second home on a coastal island in the northern gulf area, it's very quiet and sedate. Most of my friends would be bored...

    buying a second home in the USA

    ADX, Palm Beach is much more upscale than the other spots you've mentioned. Also, I"m not so sure you need any special permission to own real estate. Worst case scenario, form a corporation (just do it yourself, book store has how to manuals) and have the corp buy the house. Depending on your...

    BMW 740iL For Sale

    It's been decades since Jaguar was not great in the quality department. It just goes to show how long it takes for a bad reputation to be let go of by the public. Ford bought Jag in 1988 I believe. My last Jag was an '87 XJ6 which I sold to a friend and now has upwards of 200,000 miles on it...
