How I Became a Successful Trader by Daal

I've only used one third party with real money. I use tws bracket trade everyday. No problem. The third party applications had some bugs. You set them up with hotkeys, so one click and you're in, and then it doesn't matter what happens. You can crash your system and go watch it on TV.

tws has it's own bracket trade option. You don't need to use a third party api. you enter at a limit with an auto stop and auto target, one click options are 1. enter limit with auto stop 2. enter limit with auto trailing stop 3. Bracket trade, enter limit with auto stop and auto target

my new system uses 8 coins

8? Here's an idea, buy 100 to start with and sell one after each losing trade to arrive at the optimum number of monitors needed.

yes, He is a good guy. first time I've ever seen a 50% pitchfork. Check out his DIA chart. At any rate, that was my bread and butter ta chart, dmi adx, macd.

that's because it takes three days to recover from the fill in the bean pit

right Carl, but think about it. You have to elect mtm by 4/15 of the current year. You really have to wonder about a futures trader who on 4/15 thinks he will have more than 3k in losses by Dec 31!

You say, "But profitseer, what if you think the markets going up and it goes down?" Now, why in the world would I think the market is going up if it's going down?

that's the point. what we call thinking isn't thinking at all. it's just mental chatter that takes you out. what you think creates what happens, that's why I always think the market is going to go my way negative thoughts are the result of poor reading of the market. if you're reading...

If I lived my life like I trade, I'd be a better trader

I've gone on and an about this because it's worked so well for me, but a more predictive way is to simply draw a horizontal line every time ma crosses. You quickly find price zones where there is a strong difference of opinion. When prices break above these zones, new bears find litttle...

very nice Zuizo, I ain't lying, that's a good one for me

no thoughts, but possibly an idea, try counting ma crossovers. Obviously, few would indicate a strong trend, and many would indicate congestion. Then set up your own min and max numbers.

oh man, I remembered too much damn stuff today. I knew sooner or later all that studying would catch up with me. Now remember, tommorrow forget Now remember, tommorrow forget Now remember, tommorrow forget come on... a hundred times now remember, tommorrow forget

thanks Big ed. Reminds me of candlesticks. When they first came out here in U.S. it was thought of as a trading method. Now some use them that way, and others just use them because they present the market well graphically. Same thing with the template. From what I've seen it presents the...

Here's what I want 1. An award. I spent Saturday afternoon reading every single post on the Murrey Thread. 2. I went to the Murrey website and it is obviously designed for gullible get rich quick folks. 3. I went to http://www.webspace4me.net/~blhill/pages/murrey.html#top and here...

well Joe, a lot's happened since then

if I do that I'll have to change my slogan again

seriously though, I find when trading for 1 pt or less on es, it's always better to fade nothing. At 1.25 to 3 you can hit it either way and IMHO maybe a little better on the fade. And over 3 it's better to wait and jump on the move. Which ever way you go, my experience has been to stick with...
