    a problem about probability

    one time I pick 1,2,3,4,5 at Keno. The waitress shakes her head and says, "I've been working here three years and I've never seen that come up." I say, "Then please tell me which 5 numbers come up often." (don't forget when you're working probabilities to consider the large number factor...

    Creating my own index

    I did it once by just using an online portfolio. I used the closing price for dec 31 as my purchase price, then split up an imaginary 100k portfolio into the various stocks. So everyday it would give me the ytd percentage change and the daily change.

    the example at 12:03 is a better idea of how it usually goes. at noon est support is pegged at 880.25 when prices on 1 min chrt cross above 30 sma. then prices break down sharply, and ma starts to pull away from support. I get short at 879.25 at the ask they try to drive it down but...

    I think entries were 10:42 12:03 13:47 est This isn't a push button system, you still need to read the mkt and be careful. It's main job is to keep you out of garbage, and on the right side in a good move. You try to get long above the ma and short below it, and you try to buy...

    61.8 % FR within the first 30 min bar revisited

    Now here's one that often gets asked. How do you quote just a section of a post and reply to it, then quote another section with another reply? And some can reply to multiple posters with this technique. How do you do it? profitseer (decrepit old manpower)

    wally, did you check to see how many times it got stopped out in Nov by any chance? Ah don't pay any attention to them. A good opening setup can be valuable because it shakes you awake and you're right there first thing. Hard to know about that open, now with more and more 24 hr...

    Sierra Charts question

    to change timeframes, all you have to do is type the minute and hit enter. For instance, if you are on the 1 min, and you want to see what the 5 min looks like, just hit "5" then enter. No need to put cursor in any box, or hit an F key.

    well nik, it's almost a given that anyone with any amount of money will fail as a trader. But they don't fail because of the amount of money they start with. They fail no matter how much or how little they start with. Capitalization only comes into play when you are talking about making a...

    and when they turn green, that means they are going up, and red means to go short. I have mine set up so they turn yellow when it is time to cover. Beats the heck out of TA.
