Riskarb: What did the Blackberry cost? How will this be resolved? Will you be returning the blackberry unit to the reseller?

Hey Peter: Declining A/D means pressure is building (Sell). Not expressed in the indexes until it hits a threshold. By the way, when you anticipate a "give back" day like today, one thing that works to get you into a move early is to bracket the high and low of the first 45 min to 1 hour...

I have to agree with the "sons of bitches" part. Other than that I guess its just more of the same crap from some pimply faced nerd in a bathrobe somewhere. These things have cost me money and time in the past and if I had the opportunity, I believe I would be tempted to kick someone's ass...

Hi Peter: I noticed your thread and want to offer some comments: First I agree with NihabAshi that you will find more value in using some indicators along with candles. I use an oscillator (Stochastic), volume (On Balance Volume) and a momentum indicator. Using indicators to contrast candles...

So when I put on a 50 lot position, I must be really rockin the markets. I didn't realize.

Yes, the hard part is to control to emotional response to want to "do something" with the position. You're doing great. Make that market "prove you are right".

Nice job managing that position. Keep it up.

Putting on a position of 10 contracts with a stop of 10 points means a possible loss of 100 ES points or $5000. In Acrary's example this loser is followed by a winner that brings in 10 X 30 points or $15,000. Net profit of $10,000 sounds great. Problem is that winners and losers do not have to...

I've said this recently, however in the interest of balance, I want to mention again that I have not had any disconnection problems with IB over the last month. Makes me wonder why it took so long to make this kind of improvement? Oh well. Hope it lasts. Steve46

What about futures (sp500 and ES markets)?

Roscoe: Your suggestions are just fine, if your audience has the background necessary to interprete them. What I am trying to get across is that new traders or those just beginning to trade a system, are unlikely to know what it "feels like" to trade your system, and are likely to gloss over or...

Hello Roscoe: This is an interesting and very important thread to open. In my opinion, there are a couple of indications that are important, but almost never appear in system test reports as follows; 1. Max number of consecutive gains and losses 2. Max days to recover from largest drawdown...

Hi Nopm: Your changes to the "old" divergence system are interesting. I am using the original system with good results. In fact, as I mentioned to Lescor, I have been able to improve on the basic system by changing the money management protocol. I thought it was very kind of you to share the...

The reason Victoria uses ideas that "lean" on Linda's is that Victoria worked in Linda's Chatroom. In fact Linda has trained quite a few successful traders who then went out on their own.

This is for all SierraCharts users. I am trying to use the Point & Figure option for the chart display. When I enable that option, the result is a chart that still looks like a standard bar chart. Does anyone happen to know how to get a standard point & figure display? I appreciate any help or...

Roncer: Linda trades in real time. The trades are real. I have no idea whether she makes her records public. I suggest you go to her website, contact her and ask for yourself.

Samson: You know, from my point of view, people are funny in how they look for verification. Linda is a human being with good skills. She is a pro. She is also someone who is not afraid to take a loss. I notice that she is always able to come back. This is the mark of someone who is going to be...

Boob: You got no game, and nothing important to say to anyone. I'm going to ignore you since you are a bullshit artist. Anybody with any sense will probably do the same. Good luck over at Yahoo.

I guess I just can't resist. Had to "take the bait". Bob your comments are just plain ignorant. Thats about the most generous characterization I can offer. Now that I think about it a bit, plain stupid is probably more accurate. I have seen Linda trade on more than a few occasions. She trades...
