If you plan to use this you really should read the book. You will never make it as a trader if you are always looking for a short cut or an easy or cheap way to do things. If you are new to trading or if you have not given much thought to where the people who own the stock are in the...

You need to add that reading this was a mistake.

Trade Prospector Real Time (TPRT) as has and indicator they call Relative Volume. It compares an average volume of the stock by how much to the trading day has passed and gives you a value in percent. You can also use this value in your alerts. For example I like my alert to fire if last...

I found eSignal AGet to be over priced. I used it for 1 year. When I used it I did about as well as I did without. it. After dropping it I am doing better because I am now saving all that money I had to pay eSignal for the GET software.

Steve Woods has written a book on this and has a web site. http://www.floatanalysis.com/. You may want to check it out. Listed on his site is software to measure this. QCharts has this but Steve does not have them listed.

I have used a platform that gave block trades and block volume and one that did not (eSignal). Did having this data make me any more money. I would have to say no. However, I really like the idea of have some idea of what the big guys are doing.

It must be time to Short if James says Up.

Floor traders pivots like moving averages, trend lines and price support and resistance lines are nothing more than caution signs along the road of trading. They alert you to the fact that this is an area where trend may start or change. At these points you need to assess the overall market...

The most important indicator with volume is a moving average of volume.

I have found backtesting to be usefull in telling me if a trading system or idea was worth spending more time on. My realtime results always were different. Backtesting is just step 1. Also, to system trade you need more than one system. One system will not always make money for you...

$50 it would not be worth my time. I would want at least $500.

How much are you willing to pay for them? I have a five tape set that I ordered from Trading Techniques a couple of years ago.

I used Advanced GET for one year through eSignal. At $160.00 plus their high data feed charges you have some of the highest overhead in this business. I think Advanced GET is a good software but I did not find it worth the extra cost. Bottom line is if you are going to invest the extra cash...

I think "Mind Over Markets" is a great book - a must read for a trader. For me it does not make much difference which type of chart I'm using as long as Value Area and Point of Control are marked. Also the 80% rule outlined in the book - you can take that to the bank.

I too only use Jurik RSX and DMX for trading ES and NQ. I use John Clayburg's methods with Mark Jurik Indicatiors. John's methods can be found in his book "Four Steps to Trading Sucess"

It depends on your trading system. I trade using two systems, one JMA works much better than EMA or SMA. If you have a system that uses a moving average the only way to see if JMA is better for that system is to try it. Some things that work in one system make no difference in another. Also...

I watch $TICK on a 5 minute chart with 2 moving averages on it. If I get a trigger to go Long or Short on a stock or index future I look at $TICK prior to Entry. If the TICK is not trending my way at my time of Entry I pass on the trade. I want the overall market going in my direction when I...

Trading takes a long time to learn and the average guy gives up.
