Now I remember why I read these boards: entertainment. Thanks for the chuckle. Oh and news flash, AllenZ has now reported in.

In case you haven't been reminded lately, NOBODY CARES max! This may be the Chit Chat forum but that doesn't mean it is also the off-topic forum.

No, actually the stated policy is to prevent states from achieving nuclear capability but not to interfere with those who already have it (otherwise we'd have to invade Russia, China, India, Pakistan, etc.)

Well said. :D :p

If you actually traded you would recognize the unmistakable pattern he is going through of hope/fear/greed and all the lessons that veteran traders take for granted. There is no way to know about all this stuff unless you have gone through it.

Just lose it on the spread. Program the computer or just hit the keys, buy/sell buy/sell with no delay. Do like 10,000 trades with as many cars as you can afford on the EMINI until those fingers turn blue. Or just do a ton of trades on a pit traded contract (S&P) with market orders in rapid...

One other thing, I'd say you will be more sorry: C)If you find out your system / method actually would have made you some good money if you had been dedicated enough to just follow it and give it a serious chance, and yet you don't have the discipline to follow it and you floated about like a...

Learning to trade is all about learning to act. You do what your plan says to do. There is comfort in having your plan make the decisions for you. You have a stop, that decision is already made. You have an objective, or some way to know when to exit. That decision has been made. All you have to...

This isn't the time to experiment. If you are going to experiment, do it on a simulator or on paper. Stay within yourself as they say in pro sports. If you have only practiced daytrading, then always get out before the close. If you aren't used to trading after 4:00 PM, then don't put on a trade...

I have no idea. But once again the Philly Fed report proves to be just about the most consistent economic report in turning the market into a ping pong tournament. I'm sure the locals love the fact that at 12:00 they have virtual free reign.

In addition I recently coded up the T3Average in VB based on the code provided by Bob Fulks. I'll post the code here in case you're interested. Public Function T3Average_Double(Price() As Double, ByVal Period As Long, Indicator() As Double) Dim ctr&, ub&, LB& Dim E1#, E2#, E3#, E4#, E5#...

Mark Jurik sells proprietary tools. You have to buy to use those. There is no free code posted for these anywhere. His JMA average and RSI are the best I've seen in terms of smoothness and low lag. You originally asked about smoothing an RSI. Anytime you apply smoothing to a number series you...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9828&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 ET member acrary has shared an interesting method for trading the S&P or EMini contract that uses 100% objective rules that are easy to understand. The system's rules lend themselves to be easily coded and...

When you're trading a system that was tested like that, at what point do you know you either need to reduce back down to small size or just stop trading it? Do you look at a few key stats and compare the current forward results with the previous forward and backtested stats like: drawdown , win%...

I personally like the RSI as a momentum indicator. The best RSI that I have seen (low lag and smooth) is the Jurik RSI. You can smooth a regular RSI with weighted, exponential or regular averages but they won't be nearly as good as the Jurik RSI. You can come fairly close using the regular RSI...

Thanks for your comments. I'm a bit confused. How would I go about figuring out the dominant period of the time of the indicator (in this case a smoothed RSI)? How would I find the best signal to noise ratio at the moment? I originally thought maybe just using the length that optimized with...

How far back is "extended backtesting" in your view?

A combo I started using that I'm pleased with is DTN IQFeed + Dynastore ---> TS4. DTN has a good internet feed, and it is easy to download and paste in missing data on the fly. Dynastore for IQFeed has made great strides forward since I started with them and is now stable and usable. DTN IQFeed...

They, Maybe I missed the explanation, but how do you generate the cyan trade lines that you drew from the market profile and overlay on the regular bar chart? I'm presuming that the cyan lines "trade here" are calculated using market profile.

DaveN, Which datafeed did you use with TS2K?
