You do not think anyone here can move a market? Think again. You are posting strategies that may or may not work, but there are always script kiddies that will trash your entry system by trying it and the more people who try your system, the more likely it is to fail over time. It's not a...

Why make something complex, when you can make it simple. The more rules your system has, the more likely something will break down along the road. Actually it's just like programming a big gigantic software with billions of threads, debugging process is long, but in that case you don't...

not sure what you're referring to with your link JMgraw. It doesn't like answers to me ;)

but you'll get toasted with a tight sell stop...

You and your income stream with initial capital of 2k. Come on give it up, I really gotta agree with LongShot, you're really wasting time, space and bandwidth. Markets change all the time! Traders adjust, big deal. It's like asking: what if it doesn't rain this summer, what if the pattern...

Agreed 100% Attitude doesn't get you very far in trading, besides at the bottom of the pit.

Your stop loss is way too tight and your common sense theory is completely nonesense ;) You gotta rethink your strategy here.

Just by observing the answers given by previous posters, it is a fair bet to say that a random answer will produce just as good a result ;)

Who in their right mind would be able to acknowledge how dumb they really are. If they were, then they would be smart, or even enlightened. An old saying goes: Only the wise knows that he doesn't know. I think trading is a mix of many things, the mere fact of being able to understand the...

I agree with Modulus. Only those who know only VB will say that VB can do pretty much anything. Realistically though, C/C++ has its advantages over VB and that's in speed.

But recently compilers have become so good that they rival with ASM code ;) But I do agree that ASM is probably the fastest of all but very unfriendly. I used to code ASM. Files were tiny and fast as ever but you had to know what you were doing in order to do anything.

Please do not compare programming and trading stock777, you are not the ultimate answer to his questions. Language wars can go forever. Objectively, VB si fine for your needs. If you are computing under linux or *nix obviously you don't have much choice, go for C, C++ or OCAML. For windows...

It seriously depends on what kind of computation power you need. If it's to compute REAL TIME technicals, Arbitrage opportunities on multiple stocks and markets, forget VB, it is not even worth trying, it will be slow and unreliable. C/C++ is for the more upper scale systems that need rapid...

Could anyone care to explain to me what "providing liquidity" to the Island book is? What would be considered "removing liquidity" from the Island book? I just don't understand this concept. Thanks for your help

If there was a way to forecast "accurately" bottoms and tops, don't you think, walter, that everybody would be doing it ?? It is not on ET that you will find anything pertaining to this kind of balloney. Trying to predict the market is probably the first reason why newbie traders fail. Develop a...

I want to know if liquidity is low or if it is worth looking into trading them. Anyone been trading them and what is your experience with them?

It's got nothing to do with IB. Take it EZ.

I've been studying SSF's for a while and this is what I have come up with: Advantages: - You have 5x leverage (20% margin requirement) - You can trade stocks that you know (the price action remains pretty close to the actual underlying stock because of arbitrage opportunities that may arise)...

Chaos theory does not disprove anything. The market is a random occurence, the underlying familiarity that exists in the market does not mean that it isn't random. It is random by all means just like a fractal is random yet yields a recognizable pattern. If you really believe that you can...

Anyone know the Feigenbaum constant ? Order in Chaos? Hello? Saying that the DJIA has been going up for the past century doesn't mean anything, it is a little bit like the chaos theory. Now, the idea is: Can you find a way to consistently trade your strategy and let your profits run if it pans...
