Hey Jeff...
I'll try to be a little more fair this time...hehe
Here's 2 charts: The first is a 1 min between 8:40 and
9:30, and the second is a 100T from the same time period.
You're right, they are similiar, but I feel I can see a little
more with the tick...
Hi Jeff...that's okay, someone usually does. lol
I just wanted to give a clear example, so DGBrothers would
get my point.
You should have seen the 30 minute chart I was thinking of
using...hehe

Breakout, in the screenshot you posted a while back, I notice that you're using 100-tick bars. If I understand the concept correctly, a new bar will only be drawn after 100 ticks, is that right?
Right...each bar has 100 Ticks
Can you tell me if...
Hi...I was wondering if one of you ELA pros could whip
this up for me real quick.
I need a MACD that has:
Ave 1... 7
Ave 2... 28
Average... 1
Also, a stochastic:
Bars...21
%K...14
%D...7
Thanks
Hi savage...I'm not an expert, but it's been my under-
standing that the best time to sell an option is the beginning
of the last 30 days of an options life.
For example, this is expiration day for Sept options. If I
wanted to sell Oct options, I would sell them...
Hi richk...just futures and primarily the ES emini.
Today, I had seven trades in the ES and squeaked
by with $153.00 after commish trading 1 contract.
Just couldn't catch a strong move...:(
See...what'd I tell you. :D
Also, here's a handy little download if you're lazy like me.

You've turned to the right place, my man...:D
Lots of knowledgeable folks here!
Probably, if you're going to trade pivots, just use the
Open, High, Low, and Close of the normal trading
day.
For example, take the ES emini. Yes, it trades 24...
Yeah...I think this summer we just had a couple of good months.
Now, I think we're back to normal...a couple of choppy days,
a good trend day, 2 or 3 more choppy days, 1 or 2 good trend
days...etc.
Here's my basic strategy. May be your cup of tea...maybe
not. If it does interest you, you can get more info and

Don't feel bad, we all do it. Several years ago I was
into selling naked combos. In case someone doesn't
know, that's selling a put and a call at the same time.
Anyway, I put on the combo and put in my stop with the
broker like you're supposed to do.
Well, the...
Hey AAA...:)
Just so you won't be waiting too eagerly, I don't intend
on posting my results. I don't want to appear as though
I'm giving the definitive approval or disapproval of Quahs
idea.
Besides, I'm not using his idea,verbatim. So, it...
Hey Quah...good stuff...:)
I paper traded your method today using 100T bars.
Basically, at the appropriate times if my 100T bar closed
up,I went long, down,I went short.
I didn't try to reverse the losers. So far today,
8 winners and 2 losers for...
Thanks Ronb, WDGann and x-or...after reading and considering
your posts, I see the light...:D
I can see now that tape reading and charting are 2 different
methods for trading, and I couldn't possibly see on a
chart what you guys are looking at.
That's what I like about...
