It seems to me that the opportunity to trade without risk is a huge plus in the learning curve if you can come up with a way to support yourself for a few months.

Spyder For trading the ES are you also drawing channels on the 2min YM and using it as a lead indicator?

I am well aware of the lagging nature of indicators and knew that going in. I was trading without indicators before and I am back to trading without them again. I had an idea that an indicator that lagged a bit might help me as I have a problem with early entries but it didnt work. I took two...

I have not found any improvement in my trading since going back to cash by using this system. It works great on a large move but Ive never had any problem making money on a large move anyhow. In a choppy market it does not perform well not that this is any surprise. I'm sure it does much better...

Well this is the problem with most trend systems, even short term ones. The best filter I know of is your eyeballs. Is price making nice swings or is it just jogging along in a narrow channel. If you are looking for zero line crosses the last couple of days you were looking for trouble, imho. I...

Ive read quite a few of Jacks posts and I think he is worth taking seriously. I also think he is an eccentric egomaniac but nobodys perfect.:)

This idea fascinates me. You could shuttle loads up into orbit and then propel them outwards with a small booster of some kind so you wouldnt have to use a rocket for every shipment.

Yeah, I would go do something but its really nasty outside. Volume has dryed up and it will probably flatline as everyone heads for the door. Didndt take them long to flush those stops over 1408. Those guys are vicious.:)

So that makes you sixty plus?:eek:

As my nick implies I love to short but this bull thing is not too hard to trade. I hope it keeps going for awhile.

Heres the chart: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1272307">

The 60 min. ES chart is building a nice ascending triangle. I think we will get a pop up soon but hard to say when. I would think tommorrow will be pretty dead. Friday should be too but you never know. I would bet we will at least test 1408 again by Monday at the latest.

No charly. Unfortunately I know very little about options but I do know that in a flat market options are probably going to expire worthless so selling them makes sense, I think. p.s. this was just a general comment. I do not think this is a flat market by any means.

We all know what a NR7 day is well, looking at my daily chart today looks like it will be a NR38 day.

Sell options.:)

If you could be your own broker then you could live off the commissions while learning.

Churning, churning, churning.... Keep those doggies churning... arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh. I knew I should have taken this week off.

np. Spyder answered it pretty well but I will not post any more sct questins here.

I know this question probably doesnt belong here but since the sct thread was shut down I dont know where else to post it. I did a lot of reading over the weekend and am beginning to grasp some of this stuff. I see now that the DOM, etc. do not come into the picture until you reach a decision...

Heres what I would do. Open an account with IB for $2000 then subscribe to Buttontrader. You can use Buttontrader simulator for several months for free and if you dont trade your data from IB will cost $10 a month. Then get Quotetracker charting software (free) to work off the IB data feed and...
