<i>it works that way because ta only works if enough guys are watching for that signal and act on it.therefore the most popular signals work the best. </i> I tend to find the opposite is true. Brandon

Hey Deron welcome to ET. It's good to see someone posting things people can use for their trading and not just whining about this and that and argueing about that and this. Just ignore the knuckleheads, most people welcome good info. Brandon

Works for me, call Elocal and they will set it up for you. Brandon

Im happy overall. I tend to do badly when the market is near tops and bottoms and trends are changing..so while others really like it and are making money, I have just settle with being happy for them. Currently I'm down about 10% since the beginning of July, but the last few days have been...

I do not execute my own orders, we have an order clerk that does it. But I do know we never use market orders..its too easy to get whacked. Using limit orders we almost always get what we want where we want it. Brandon

The offer to call me stands, as I said all BAT clients have my home telephone number and can call me with questions, comments etc. The Prodigy Program we are currently using has generated 103 trades this year and is +587 points in the Nasdaq. Its max drawdown using $10,000 margin per...

If you are a member of the chatroom and it does not make money then yes.

When we started the BAT program there where a number of problems associated with executions, very similar to what someone would have who was new in the room, things would be missed ect. The result of this, plus the market bottoming volatility we had over the last few weeks has been a drawdown...

If I have a shitty month and its your first month of membership then I won't charge you fopr the chatroom. I see no reason you should pay for something that puts you in the hole. After the first month then you should have accumulated profits, and drawdowns are part of the game, but I do think...

Pretty wild and whippy day. This morning when the first low broke I went ahead and got short because of the NR7 break system and did well on that to 1012. The next few trades I took where shorts (anticipating a trend day down) on bear flags, when I started taking losses after losses there I...

I was just talking to a guy and he is all raving about this "new" concept of "liquidity trading". I guess the idea is that you will provide a market on Attain or Island and then trade for the rebates and try to print a shit load of volume..so like try to do 500,000 shares a day and breakeven on...

I have just subscribed to Tradestation6 for the backtesting abilities it has and also just that I found the charts nice. However, I dont seem to be able to link the charts...so if Im going to put in a new symbol I need to put it in every single time. This is a major pain obviously, so I was...

In a casino the house always wins. The stock market is like the Vegas strip and there are many houses you can go to, and they all win regardless of your result. You have a number of houses, some bigger than others. Exchanges, SEC/NFA, Clearning Firm, Broker, Data Provider, Internet Provider...

Just screw around and find out what works best for you. I like a 2.5, some people use a 2.25, others use a 1.5, still others use a 2 and god only knows whatelse. Its just a matter of personel preferance really. Use EMA's of the close. Brandon

Go to setup studies, upper and lower envelope. Set those with Average Range, then in the moving average study put a 20ema. This sets up basiclly a keltner channel. ADX is under average directional index. Brandon

I think that most would be traders will look back and say that this is one thing in life they wished they had not done. That said, for those who make it, they will look at it as the best, but most don't. Its very easy to get caught up in a drawdown and let this cause uncertainty and fear in...

Yep. I just got it for the same purpose. http://www.tradestation.com/tradingplatform/subscription_options.asp Brandon

The slippage in the big pit is terrible.

I don't have to beat you, and neither does anyone else. There are millions of other traders who come in at 8:28 and leave at 3:01. They dont have a plan, they are not disciplined. So, given the two choises, why would anyone trade against you if you are as you say you are? Brandon

The liquidity in the Nasdaq is not as good as the S&P, but both are fine. Our size just under 100 contracts and we don't ever have more than 1 point slippage in the Nasdaq and about half a point in the ES. We tend to not trade at noon though, but if we did that number would probably be worse...
