Anyone here know how to work with Ensigns programming language? I have an idea I'd like to test, but I'm crap when it comes to programming. PM me or email and I'll tell you what I was thinking.

If it's the risk/reward ratio you're mainly interested in, then you're fine. Most short term traders that I know strive for a 3-1 ratio. Remember, if you can average a 3-1 ratio, you only need to be right 4 out of every 12 trades and you will break- even. Also, if you want to test...

If you don't get any response, you might want to read this book. The strategy is similiar to what you're asking. Hope this helps...www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0930233557/102-2443966-8980959

You might take a look at www.dacharts.com. They have an ES chat room and trade your time frame. Also, a lot of them trade pullbacks (they call them slingshots). Good luck...

LOL...that's exactly why I stopped trading strangles.:D

I used to sell strangles about 5 years ago, but got out,because I kept getting stopped out. The juicy premiums were always the volatile stocks. This was basically my strategy: 1. XYZ stock is selling for $100 a share. 2. Sell a 110 call for 3 3. Sell a 90 put for 2.5 4. That gives you 5.5...

I agree...I know a woman who inherited 5 million dollars of Tandy stock from her grandfather. She had already decided she would never sell, but she let her stockbroker convince her she couldn't lose writing covered calls on a large chunk of it when it was around 11 dollars a share...

This guy sums it up - I think... People always get excited when they hear about this strategy called ‘covered call writing.' They like the idea of picking up income - who doesn't - but rarely grasp the significance of the fact when the train leaves the station heading north, they...

Ok...sounds like something I need. There were 2 copies of winros running. I'll restart it and see if one copy starts up this time. Thanks for the reply.

I was using the esignal 7.0 and upgraded to the 7.1. I noticed my PC was really dragging unlike before and checked running processes. I noticed there were 2 new programs running called "WINROS.EXE that were associated with esignal. I shut them down and PC runs smooth again and data is...

Hope this helps...

Hi...I think one of the simpler and still one of the best methods for trading, is simple divergence/convergence setups. Here's a couple of snapshots. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Trader79...Okay, thanks for posting. I feel more relieved now. I was worried about some kind of billing problem. They'll probably be back by morning. :)

Anybody having a problem logging onto eSignal... Says my password is wrong...worked fine till this evening. :confused:

Hey guys...check out the latest version of Ensign. They've added a function where you can "Playback" past charts. Like right now, I'm "re-trading" 08-14-02 in 133T bars. (you can use a different time scale if you want) You can replay the chart in actual or double speed...

Hey Gordon...I think the key word in your question is "random". If you believe the markets are random, then you're right, the answer is no. But, if you believe (like me) that the markets are not random, then your chances are not always 50/50.
