    New E-Mini traders (under 25K traders) trading journal

    this move from lynch is very strange and it is a pity it is not investigated. They made millions on probably insider information (eco report). anyway, who cares, initially the gap was not playable for me, the rest of the day was. neo

    Worse than Random...

    there are many misunderstandings regarding the 'flip coin' way. Markets are fractals, this means they go in both directions all the time. there is NO MARKET DIRECTION. this does not exist. To be able to tell a direction you must specify a TIME FRAME. Therefore, a flip coin strategy MUST...

    First Alert

    hmm... software licensing probably prohibits sharing that software and therefore is illegal. (I don`t know the specific licensing agreement for it, you should check.. but 90% of software is like this, linked to one person or user and event site). EliteTrader would have no part in promoting or...

    Qcharts & NDX & SPX

    what bothers me a lot is to know some qcharts users are very happy. they have timely data delivery and no problem. while, like many, my qcharts would often lag 10 seconds or just die. I did quit months ago though. even more annoying, impossible to know what is the difference between them and...

    yes, ddefina is right, this option is just under the post reply window.. size is limited so you should use jpg I guess.

    Is It Illegal?

    well, it looks like a little more than a simple web site. it is not commercial if it is what you mean. however, advertising (even for free sites) is not allowed. we post links when they are relevant, but not just to attract people elsewhere. if each member with a website would do the same...

    Trading Support and Resistance

    ddefina, nice example. regarding the overbought, oversold, I am much less enthousiastic. in my experience these indicators don't help much (well like most indicators anyway). something oversold can get more oversold and then some. I understand the argument of probabilities : something...

    Trading Support and Resistance

    back at satan, yes, in a sideways, all breakouts are fake but one ! :D I know you were joking, but just to make it clear for everyone, this is why trading all breakouts in a sideways can really kill you. a sideways consolidation can last much longer than you think (the worst everybody knows...

    Trailing IB Globex stops

    you make me doubt and I will try tuesday, but when you change the order on the line directly it will NEVER work and that's by design (oops!). what you are changing is the limit price, not the election price. therefore basically, your stop order is not modified. you need to go to the order...

    software for futures trading

    yes, it would be better to stick to english please. on rare occasions to help a member another language can be used (I have seen it for french or polish now...) but this is the exception and it is an inconvenience for other members. a better way is to use the private messaging available here...

    New E-Mini traders (under 25K traders) trading journal

    well.. it could be shorted with a tight stop (minor trendline up broken, not shown on graph). but Indeed, a safer place was to wait for a retrace of this break down.. then you would notice the power of the retrace and might stay on the side (or still short it and loose, sh** happens). a lower...

    New E-Mini traders (under 25K traders) trading journal

    I guess you mean 5 points stop loss is too much for a 2-3 points reward. Because, of course a certain stop loss is irrelevant unless compared to a reward. I just wanted to point it out for newer traders (since the thread is also for them). neo

    What leads the U.S. Markets? Futures? Stocks?

    yep ! leadership is always changing but I think it exists. However, since it is always changing, it is pointless to focus on that. With technical analysis you can trade a market in isolation and that's what you should do imo. neo

    New Futures Rules IB-now what?

    I think some are very nervous with the coming of single stock futures. After all these were banned for years, so the lobby was powerful. Now this lobby has to try to protect its interest again. Probably it will be unfair. But that`s part of the game. All I am asking is this : stop changing the...

    Breakouts...

    I Think this post is misplaced, you probably wanted to follow up in the other thread, not a new one. I agree with you regarding the lag. neo
