    The Stochastic Indicator

    I have picked off a few very nice ones. 8pts is my best so far, with a few in the 4-6pt range (over the last two weeks), and I'd say I exited half of those on the 'away' side of the channel, and it would have been perfect for a reverse into the consolidation. I get into trouble on short...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    I took it today on the 5min for 1.5 pts, because the volume seemed 'right'. Of course, then I tried to reenter and burned the 1.5pts away. Not saying it's the right thing to do, just that I did it. --laz

    The Stochastic Indicator

    I've been lurking on this thread for a long time, but have only started trading full time in the last two weeks. I'm still working on my patience-- I typically anticipate too much in the first half of the day, calm down and get most of it back on the afternoon moves. I noticed today, after...

    Trend Day Tuesday

    I've seen it the opposite way though.. when it's a little more obvious before the release, and then you gets whacked.

    Which software can determine the internet routing?

    Actually, if you've defined the interfaces correctly ("network connections" in windows-speak), win2k should be able to distinguish between them automatically. The details are kind of boring, but the ip addresses of your brokers internal network are not 'public' addresses.

    Actually, if you can handle being guarded by men with machine guns while in line for a cellphone, Somalia might be your kind of place. It is the anarcho-capitalist hotspot of the world.

    Costa Rica, Panama/ The Trader Profit is Coming!!

    My understanding from some folks who are intimately familiar w/ communications networks in CR is that the 'conventional wisdom' is that panama net access is better, due to the military and canal infrastructure investment. I think a lot of the undersea OC-3 and bigger circuits out of Miami...

    Making MORE MONEY TRADING working full time?

    As long as you can ssh out, you should be able to set up some sort of proxy tunnel. No guarantees you're not going to get fired if they notice the bandwith, but I used to run my TWS + Quotetracker from work all the time. Honestly, my trading suffered because of it. I'd make some pretty...

    How Much Size do you swing on the ES

    I think one of the funniest things in the world is watching T&S, 1 trade @ ask 10 @ bid 1 @ ask 1@ask 1@ask 1@ask 1@ask 10@bid 1@ask 1@ask 50@bid; And so on, until 30 seconds later whatever budding breakout there was is throroughly broken.

    Occasional Apocalyptic Epistles

    My own Greed and Fear. Really I just try to get (and stay) on the right side of the market.. I use macd and stoch > or < 50 as a screen. Ideally, both of these indicate a direction while depth behind the bid or ask fades away. And sometimes I just get stupid, like my first and second...

    Discipline vs Fitting Style? Huh?

    You could also replace either word with "mogooboojunarf", and it would still make sense.

    Occasional Apocalyptic Epistles

    I am swimming around in the neverland of 'feel'. I don't really have a strategy yet, just trying to figure out what works for me. Today was a enter-on-retracement, with-the-trend sort of day. I could have made a lot more (simulated) dollars by just getting short and sitting on it for 20...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    It is quite instructive to do this, and see if you can catch the others mistakes, and anticipate the winning hand.. I do the same at paradisepoker.
