C&Hs- I love those, they tend to be very profitable, might look into them.

No, I am not risking 1:1, with -4 and the targets at +6 and +9 that are frequently hit and a trailing stop it is never that much. I have one system where the stop is -5 and it is fixed, but profits are frequently 15 ES pts and better. You want to catch bigger profits you should not be concerned...

I used to use even -6 ES pts for an initial stop for targets of 6-9 and greater. The trailing stops were pretty liberal too, I would move to +2 after 6, to +4 after 8 with the final target at +9. Now I am using -5 or -4 for the initial stop depending on the system, and trail differently...

Although after meeting the likes of Max Pain, you may regret you have ever arrived here. BTW, could you explain what options do you trade and through what brokerage? You seem to be doing it well. Wally

Does CANSLIM work during the bear markets? After all, the M in CANSLIM stands for 'market' and if the market sucks so can the method. Any thoughts about it? How do you take a position in these stocks? Do you have any particular entries? Just curious. I like CANSLIM, but I have not paid...

One way to approach it practically is to say to yourself: 'Let me watch myself do this trade'. This puts you in a position of an observer and not that of a participant, or at least into a superposition of an observer and a participant. The more observer is in this superposition the better.

I know what it is, but I will not tell, because that's the purpose of this thread. To keep it as secret as possible. :D

I am not a Hershy-ite, and the only thing that connects me with Jack is that I too use stochastics in a less than standard manner whenever it is possible. I do however use it in standard ways as well. Unlike Jack though, I don't tend to talk much about it because I do not believe that this is a...

I already have one software for that, Amibroker, but I find WL more user-friendly. Also, my strategies are not so complicated, so I am in no rush to get another software for this. So far I have been able to backtest them manually. And if I finally decide to get another software like that, I want...

I guess we could go on and on about lawyers... At least they are good to make jokes about. :D

I must have been misunderstood... I meant you were being slow with release 3.0 scheduled for this summer. Since it promises many new long awaited features, I was hoping it would be released sooner. I did not mean to imply that the software was slow, it was just fine for me. I used its trial...

yeah globex went bankrupt so they closed down for good... You must be psychic because that's exactly what I thought... That max pain of yours is in the head, I guess...

Isn't it what you call 10,000 lawyers on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean? Just recalled some joke...:D

Kinda slow... and how about the intraday, particularly futures, testing on your website. I have been asking for that for some time and I know that you guys have this on your list of priorities, but when could we expect it? I would not mind paying say $10 a month to be able to do that when I...

The Moon phase cycle is about 30 days and not 30 minutes and I never intended to explain the first 30 min volatility by invoking the Moon. The influence of celestial bodies on our planet is indisputable. The Sun does that all the time by influencing the Earth's magnetic field and so does the...

but that was strange. Did that also happen to those using other data feeds?

What happened? IB TWS is showing no bid-ask quotes for ES and NQ, but the quotes for YM are OK. This never happened to me before.

I find it strange that you use one oscillator to confirm another oscillator, that's hardly a good way to get any new information that the first oscillator does not already contain. As for a strong trend they are useful too, you just need to know how to use them. In fact, they can even tell you...

I guessed that, but I am still wondering why there is no lag.
