Hi, I'm not sure how many longer term traders there are here, but i wanted to put up a little method I have been working on. I guess it could even be considered position trading. I am going totally off of EOD data because I don't want to have to sit at the computer. Here are the basics...

Thanks for your response Don. When I have 15k I will be in touch.

Don, I have a question. I want to swing trade some time in the near future, but only have 10k and want to be fairly active, so the PDT rule is a problem. Would you mind one of your remote traders being very low volume? I would trade very very small at first. Thanks

I'm not a good trader and I don't have 25k. I've dropped 4kish a couple times trading futures, because the minimum tick size is pretty high for a NEWB. I would love to be able to learn to trade stocks trading just a few shares at a time, but unfortunately can't do that. So my plan now is to...

I've got the 24 and the 19, I couldn't imagine ever needing more.

Oh yeah I said above i was scanning for year highs, but after more looking that seemed too stringent. The real value in my method is in the trigger anyways.

I have written a scan that finds potential trades for me. They are pullbacks after breakouts. My programming skills aren't stellar so it is a rough scan. Once I find potential trades they must trigger on a shorter time frame. I'm going to keep this trigger to myself because I think it is...

OK so I am funding my IB account right now. I'm going to start with 10k and risk no more than 1% of equity. I'm leaning towards the more conservative side here. My long term plan is that if that if this goes well I will open an account with bright to trades lots of positions at once, but...

Here is how I plan to trade. I am going to scan to find stocks making 1yr highs or lows. I will then wait for a pullback to enter. I am still trying to decide how far I want it to pull back. I am leaning towards a pullback to a trendline. Entry will be taken when the price...

This is like my 4th journal i think. Here is the quick recap. I've daytraded a few times, always lost. I play poker full time and really want to get a 2nd income going. I recently funded an account to daytrade the russell and after 1 week realized I don't want to daytrade because I...

To clarify, are intraday moves easier to catch right now than usual? I am inexperienced with it and am just wondering if it usually moves this well.

Honest question. Do you guys think this is the case?

it trades both directions, and it was profitable both ways in every pair. The trades in the direction of the overall trend were 3x more profitable that the other direction. I plan on doing this with $ very soon, just wanted to see if there are any common pitfalls I am overlooking.

It has to trade 24hrs to work. I plan on trading with EFX as it is designed to work with neoticker. Any feedback on them regarding fills and reliablility? What do you think is a valid slippage setting for night time? Thxs for your feedback.

I forgot to add I am waiting for 3 years of historical data to be sent to me and I won't go live until I test it on that. Also just for the heck of it i increased slippage to 4 pips each way and it still shows huge profits. If this thing performs at even half what it is showing it will...

I've been working on an automated forex system that at this point seems too good to be true. I first programmed it into a 60min EUR/USD chart going back 3 months, and then did some minor tweeking with the indicators. To avoid the pitfall of optimizing I then switched it to a 90 min chart...

I think i answered my own question. I checked out neoticker and it seems better + cheaper.

By trading intl? I've been checking them out and playing with the software. Seems fantastic so far. Just wanted to see if there is any feedback out there before I subscribe. I can't find any reviews of their products on here. Kinda weird, I would expect at least a few people on here to be...

In my experience the hardest part of poker is money management and emotional control. Anyone can learn the skills. That is why I think being good at one makes you good at the other.

I was trading(poorly) a few years ago and heard poker skills help your trading. So I read a book and started playing, and closed my trading account about a week later! I found poker so much easier than trading it was incredible. I'm a serious player now, currently playing for a...
