    QT features?

    romik I had a digital camera I used for three years and didnt know it had a memory card in it until the other day because.......I didnt read the manual. I know it is stupid but I seldom read manuals and one of the really great things about QT is that for those hardheads like me, you can get...

    QT features?

    There is a ten day max on the charts which 90% of the time is sufficient for me. The only time there is a problem is when I cant see the swing highs and lows that are coming in to play but I just pull up a historical chart when needed. Finally someone agrees with me about bar thickness. Almost...

    QT features?

    LOL. I have to wonder how many more things there are that I still do not know and I have been using QT for quite awhile. This is very handy. Usually I do not want the crosshairs but at times I want to check something. Very nice.

    QT features?

    QUOTETRACKER ONLY HAS TWO PROBLEMS. 10 DAYS IS THE LIMIT AND PUNY OHLC BARS. STILL THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK OUT THERE.

    List of Popular Trading Systems

    My guess would be that the best systems overall are volatility breakouts.

    Views on "adding to a losing trade"?

    I spent a lot of time in LBR's room and this is the way she entered many of her trades. That being said I could not make it work for me. If my trade does not go my way almost immediately I want out, but I have a very low pain threshold. I guess the moral of the story is: different strokes for...

    My emini daytrading journal

    Used to watch amt4swa trade this way sometimes in up to a hundred contracts or more. Hair raising. Cast iron balls and a large account needed.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    The present moment is all there is. That is where I want to be. There is tremendous freedom in trading the hard right third of a five minute chart.:D

    What Futures are the best for intraday & trend-following traders?

    Im a masochist.:) The interface is Buttontrader, my frontend for IB. I trade ES primarily but will trade YM when its frontrunning ES, but you have to put up with a lot of wild swings.

    Ensign suggestion

    Quotetracker has a lot of other nice features too. I switched from ensign when QT added the scaling function which we lobbied for here on ET. Have gotten a few more things added since then. Best support out there. Ensign has a few more bells and whistles, tho, but I dont need them. (I especially...

    I was about to say the same thing. If ES clears this level it is probably headed for the recent highs.

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Tournament strategy is interesting. I have read all the books except Harringtons. I'll have to get it. I do a number of things differently than most of these guys recommend mostly in handling small and medium pairs and AK and I make it to the money quite a bit, so Im curious to see what he has...

    Greed and Fear

    I started surfing when I went to Hawaii for a job in 1960. When I got back to the mainland and saw the waves they surf on here it was kind of funny.

    Elephant in the Room

    I trade futures with IB and a frontend and executions are instantaneous. I dont know how you can get any faster. I guess there may be a difference that is beyond my perception, in the millisecond range or something, but it has not been a problem for the last five years.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    This matter of dryup volume is a fascinating one and I am wondering what is behind it. Smallest bar of the day, Wham, breakout. this happens time after time. Often it doesnt really go anywhere but sometimes it does. In any case you have a low risk entry if you can figure out which way its going...
