    Two questions one practical one not.

    You could try drawing a line across the page from the opening price. If it goes above it trade long, below short. You'll win some and lose others. There's usually enough movement around to make it work. Depends what you trade... Basically find something that works for you, test it, paper...

    Trading times for Monday trough Friday

    My understanding of the times being called is that about that time, there will be a good setup for a reasonable trade. So far, at around the time of Walter's calls there has been a set up that has worked out well. However, it has not always been exactly at the time given, and more often been...

    Trading times for Monday trough Friday

    In defence of Walter here. I've just pulled up a 1 min chart of NQ and looked at 10:40 EST with 8 CCI. At 1540 exactly there was a tiny short scalp for 1-1 1/2 points, However, there was a very tradable long for 3-4 points at 1043/1044 EST with a good CCI signal. Yes, it was a continuation...

    meditation as a way to calm trading angsts

    I understand that many martial arts have an element of meditation ivolved in them although I don't know which ones. I'm reminded of seeing pictures of Chinese people in the park practicing very slowly and intensely and lost to the world around them. Is this also related in some way? Natalie

    IB Slow Execution Recently?

    IB must be a long way behind the market (ACE) (YM) when a market order is placed and it instantly fills 4 points away (of course not in my favour...) Also for the first 3/4 hour, the data was coming through in little burst followed by pauses of 1/2 second then another quick burst and another...

    spread on the Dow e-mini

    Piss and Moan about Brandon

    Actually, it was not a request to supress free speech but rather to keep the thread on topic which in my view is a perfectly reasonable request. And no - before anyone wants to throw stones at me - I have no connection with Brandon whatsoever. Natalie

    Back to the Basics

    Right Agreed. - That is a standard picture. So the statements you made (that I commented on) should really be removed from the thread because they were only correct under certain circumstances. And your picture should remain in its place. It reinforces the point I made. Thanks for clariying...
