Check this out: www.marketwatch.com/news/yhoo/story.asp?guid=%7BBE730D6C-934F-406A-9847-35FDA571307E%7D This is exactly what I was talking about last week. This is only the beginning. Yeah for those of us who make money in a declining market it doesn't matter. But this is not going to be...

Speaking of caution re: 9 -11, this Friday is the 13th. Using Sept 11 was cute enough, but I'm "holding my breath" until the weekend. I don't want to see us relax after Weds only to be attacked again Fri. ...just a thought. :( :mad:

Thanks Don, will do on the search terms also.

Love this thread so far. And given the continuing prise of Robert's father's book, I should get a copy. I am an advocate of what is now listed as Gordon's second point....any entry will do, just mange it properly. As some of you have read, I have posted before that drawing a horizontal...

esu...another interesting observation that I believe demonstrates the sideways activity that characterizes August and early Sept. Breakouts will work for small profits in sideways markets. Whereas moving averages will chop you more in sideways than in trending markets. I bet your June and...

There is a tremendous amount of info on ET about the Opening Orders. Just to solidify the concept in my pea brain... As I understand it, the entry is mechanical, ie., not subjective. If filled, the rest of the trade is subjective, ie., the trader must apply his skills to determine the...

cpo you have made a very valid observation re: the mood of the board when not trending. I noticed that August "seemed" very nasty around here, as compared to July. July trended, August didn't.

Lovely, lovely Bert. And please accept my sincere congratulations on your fairly recent retirement. I truly hope you are in good health, and I hope you have a wonderful day, everyday. You deserve it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I use Tradestation and have been looking at the stox you...

This site is not for entertainment purposes only. While it does provide entertainment to some, ie., those who cannot resist the urge to bash, ridicule, berate, be profane, or otherwise never offer original thought or commentary worthy of reading in places other than the wall of a public...

I think I have the answer to the question I posed to you bert re: what is your trigger. This presumes the standard settings per my previous post. I would say you use the crossover instead of the zero cross. Love it. Are you then always in? Or do you have profit stops, trailing stops, and/or...

Bert...interesting results for July. Many of the traders here had great July's and much less so in August. Are you using the standard 12 - 26 - 9 settings? Do use use the MACD crossover as your signal, or the zero line, or another. Many times the price will continue to rise while the MACD has...

I understand it to be just the NYMEX and until 11:00 am

It's a cool idea. I'd like to have that program myself. Then we could just toss in some symbols and come back later and pick up the results. Then you could have the results for each symbol ranked from best to worst. "For GE, Mr. Gecko, the highest profitability resulted from trading the...

egotraitor=Faster...? Just wondering why egotraitor would thank candletrader for praising Faster. :confused:

GG... I'm not sure if your are asking the computer to develop the strtegy that will work best, or determone which of the multitude of known strategies will work best. Although tedious, Tradestation could actually do number the latter with some easylanguage programming. The former would...

I know you can download EOD data from Yahoo and MSN into Excel for free. Then write the code and go. Also, but not for free, is BigEasyInvestor.com. That site can run about any type of study. It's preety neat and fairly cheap I recall.

nope...

OK what's going on... whether I copy and paste or enter by hand I get this lame thing... oooh I think I see, I bet ET's VB code is reading my input as Vb code. I wonder if I put quotes around the whole thing, otherwise I don't know what to do. nope...

Oh yeah...duh! Here it is....Tradestation 6 EasyLanguage: sorry can't figure out to get it in here. I have cut and pasted and typed by hand and it won't take. It must be me.

Okay this wasn't so bad coding. But so far I have only the most basic concepts in. After all, College football is on. So far the Baker Method consists of this: If the time is between 930 and 1130 inclusive and 3-4 inclusive, and the 2 min 5sma for the current bar is greater than the 5 sma of...
