    NQ - Stop Loss

    I had the same problem when I went from IB to Advanced Futures and used their ultrafast software. I used to almost swing trade with IB because of their slow order entry and quotes, so I made money with 2 to 5 trades a day. But with faster software I found myself trading more and seeing too much...

    Friday's action

    I went short at 854 ES and was shaken out for only a 1 point gain when it came back. Then re-shorted at the same price but was skittish and only scalped the way down ,waiting for shorts to take some profit after lunch . All in all only made 5 points but half profits went to commish. The market...

    MathLab

    If real analysis is your game (and have a few programing skills) Wolfram research is your answer. Expensive but if math inclined and creative in nature , there is almost no limit to this software. Data feeds server ports make them possible to link to others (with the proper ASP) and the...

    Futures: How To Choose A Safe Broker?

    There is (almost) no risk with Advanced futures (I have an account with them) because your money is with the clearing firm (GH).They are only an introducing broker. Futures brokers and clearing firms are much different then equities brokers (e-trade and such).You should look much more into that...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    As far as a mind behind nature you may want to read "Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku (a totally credible and scientific book, but an easy read). He gets into some of the experiments that was done about the start of life here on earth. He is as well an avid envirmentalist that also see's the beauty of...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    It seems we see fractals everyday. Look at the Nasdaq , it moves on the underlying stocks that make up the index. But many market participants make buy and sell decisions based on the indexes movement. Isn't that a chicken or egg thing? Can the supply and demand of MSFT make you want to go out...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    Just like the market is efficient? the market is random from a short time frame, not from a longer time frame. Look, I seem to recall Prechter making a bold prediction (I use prediction loosely) in 1982 about we were going to start a mania and bull market that would knock you off your heels. All...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    Wolfram is the name. Quite possibly the smartest man on the planet.Of course reading his new book is a stretch (1200 pages in very fine print) without an extensive math or physics background . I seem to recall my first intro to trading was learning about futures traders using Fib (or Lucas...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    Maybe the real cheesecake is going to come from CA. Look at what it is; simple rules that lead to complex behavior that show different outcomes with perturbation.If one cell's neighbor is a different color then it becomes that color. Now if there is a block of 5 cells and 2 are white and 3 are...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    I beg to differ about making money using non-linear dynamics.Trading is all about continued learning (about yourself and the markets in general).Many automated (Neural network,fuzzy logic, CA,or just plain vanilla charts) systems are used by many hedge funds, mutual funds ,pension funds, and...
