    Help needed from potential emini trader

    I found through trial and error the best real-environment feel, at least to my tastes, is a Prophet chart and CQG Trader DOM. As to the former: near as anyone can tell, Prophet sold the remainder of their business to TD Ameritrade. Ironically, you can use Prophet in a sub-class section of the...

    All Things Being Equal

    History repeating itself; just as a precaution; FWIW; a heads up, &c., &c.: Last Sunday session before the ESZ11 open, someone absolutely wizzed the curve ball and sold hard the open. The volume needed to break that pointed bounce on the 35 day A/D Line is something that didn't register on my...

    Binomial Trees

    Plenty of white-papers to choose from, but a cursory glance online for a practical example left questions as to what's considered convention as to the look-back on the risk-free rate and dividend yield. What do you all use?

    Rule of 8

    Then, though, Gann ditched the trade and chart after a break of 50% of the range and/or a ratio. I must have missed that ludicrously overprised neo-wushu course by Elvis from home.

    Depression in the US, My ass.

    I live in an American tropical temperate climate Gulf Coast tourist area, and I'll be the first to tell you while tourism has befallen some 40% here, commerical building is up 70% from 5 years ago. We get the weather of every hurricane. Either a boom is priced in, or subconsciously we're making...

    Iraqi Dinar

    The value of the Dinar is near useless unless or until Sunni and Shi'a elders find a way to divide Kurkuk oil fields without losing station in their tribes, or more blood-shed; which, in essence, according to the tripartite segregate nature of the situation, won't ever come to fruition. Some...

    Can you trade by price action alone?

    All the same, had the 1min been what you used, you're late short, and entirely too late long. The text being eliminated to confirm placement we can only assume sleight-of-hand. I'ld hate that coming from a moderator, but everyone here at one time or another has used NinjaTrader. So this is...

    Can you trade by price action alone?

    Yes. I don't recommend it though. You'll get lucky and catch some big moves until you get trapped. You need at a bare minimum a momentum indicator with the default numbers reduced to navigate trend changes. Nearly every trend change traps traders in both directions: jump-starters hoping for the...

    There are more hardrives In The Chicago River Than Irishmen

    In every ticker-listed free-market enterprise somewhere between the Acquisitions Department and the C.F.O.'s office sits a myriad-faceted terminal and hardwired telephony superstructure. The department, as such, is called the Discount Window. Behind the Discount Window, lending institutions...

    Ingenuity on my part hasn't been lacking trying to adapt my strategies to this market. I'll finally come out and say it: a quick, abundant lifestyle free from the average Joe's tax-breaks from this market is no more. Europeans want a bear more than Americans want to traps indecisive Europeans...

    Long 58, and some change. Bears will be trapped.

    Key reversal short 55.75 is the magnet. Home sales may beat expectations so news players may control the dom interim. But until the weakness is rectified the rally was null (in my OTGSHESHO). My guess: Already priced and moving lower.

    Hey, Josh? I'm not saying you're not in the zone most of the time, but, blowup doll or a live one. We're traders here, and the zone isn't trademarked.

    At the very least bears will attempt a point for point all stops out island reversal to trap as many trend followers for a bust or break. Either way, if the open isn't the HOD I'll be surprised. That's what I see.

    Not to make waves but as a point Steidlmayer's comeback and advance on his CME contract was his work in bid/ask spread ratios in the first and last hour of trading. Of course he has CME numbers, and every number at that, but even with 3 party vendors bias is replicable and reliable. A 4:1 on...

    12:30 TICK shows a bull trap the bottom of which will fall out if the last long isn't already in the hands of sellers. HOWEVER, the dollar's looking like a good sell. Institutions are looking for a new hedge. Let's find it.

    The point was: if you had a number you were b.s.'n. Lows were blown. Volume sill rising, though; so there's the rub. News horrid to scary. I'm looking for wider ranges north to plant toward south. The sushi rolls & 7NR haven't changed direction to long from the mid-1300's. It just went from...

    36 south's better odds than a sucker's bet for sure. Honestly I'm looking for support there myself but only after you mentioned it. There's an array of missing data on TICK I haven't beaten yet away from the zero-line. Action around the bounce will be telling. Reading action yesterday I noted...
