Hello Traders, I have been working on trading strategy that I have been paper trading for a while. I will attempt to explain it in as much detail as I can - if I forget to add some crucial information let me know. Let me start by saying the overall trading style is based on comparative...

Looks like you could be right mate.....

Thanks again for responding. To be honest, I would only use the stocks for confirmation. However, I have compiled a Excel spreadsheet which monitors all 30 stocks in realtime. OMG, as I writing this post all 30 stocks are tanking and the YM is tanking in sync....... Shite.... I have...

Julian would you use the underlying issues / components of NQ to trade YM? Cheers

Yes it does Put that way, I can accept what both you and trickshot say. Cheers Carlton

Trickshot, Very constructive .... Noooootttt. I wish I hadn't used the term luck - it's makes it so easy for bods like you to repeat it without giving any positive feedback.

Guys, I just thought I would add that I use a custom calculation with Excel to assess the strength of the underlying stock. Also, by underlying stock, I mean the 30 stocks that make up the DJIA. I very much look forward to your comments. Cheers

Hello Traders, I'm still relatively new to trading and I was wondering if you guys/gals can shed some light on what's been happening with the markets over the past week. Basically, I've been having reasonable success trading YM(mini-dow) by focusing on the movement of the underlying...

James, Thanks for responding. I understand that IB provide snapshot / cumulative tick data. However, I'm sure they provide $TICK data. I'm looking at it right now. I would like to know if its reliable? Cheers Carlton

Chaps, I don't mind going to the trouble of programming an Excel formula and sharing it with you guys/girls, but I would like to know if you like there is any mileage in assessing the markets the way I described? Cheers

Hello Traders, I've been doing a fair amount of research on Wilders DMI / ADX Indicator and I'm thinking of programming Excel to provide signals as described by the Indicator. My goal is to compile a program that will tell me when the majority of the stocks which comprise the DJIA have...

I've been viewing my bid / ask spread as I write this post and I have to say I totally agree with you. I'm just soooooooooo glad I was just sim trading to test it.

Locutus, I wonder if anyone agrees with you? I've used it for a short while and I would tend to agree..

Thats another discussion. Any comments on my strategy?

Hello Traders, Would some of you experienced traders please provide comments on my bid ask strategy that I have compiled using Excel. Let me give you a brief explanation. The strategies goal is to help me determine who the major players are at any given moment by looking at the bid/ask...

David22 Wicked. Cheers mate...

Thanks Mark, Compiling an Index using Excel is exactly what I'm after - may be I should have asked the question directly. Anyway, can you think back to did an index in Excel? In the meantime, I'll do a search. Cheers

Hello traders, Can someone please tell me how does one go about creating an index? For example, if I followed 10 of my favourite stocks, how would I go about creating an index of those stocks? Cheers Carlton
