I've got a scalping system that trades for one point with no stops. It last went long at 949, so I hope we see 950 soon. If we do, then I'll vote. So far the system has 100% hitrate, 37 straight no losers, so 950 would make it 38. Hope you can use these statistics in your research.

I figured if I was going to give up one tick on the entry, I had to make it back somewhere. So I added one to the target, and then shaved one off my stop for good measure. Money management is what saves my ass when I am not reading the market well. But here's the thing, say you are using...

also spx and djia, I never bothered to figure out if you can set them up on tws. how bout nyse and nasdq comp?

I solved the problem by adding one to the target and shaving one off the stop, now I can enter at will

just kept buying corn. more corn and more corn. and with the profits from the corn, I bought more corn. man I was crazy wouldn't do that again and I bought some wheat and beans too, you know, diversification

Aw shucks, well having said that, I figured out a way to reduce my garbage zones back to the simple sine wave. This is the same set up Soloman talked about when he said, "There's nothing new under the sun." The earth shattering set up is Bear 1. a high on the ma 2. Followed by a low on...

I'm throwing in the towel on this one. This is one mistake I'm just no longer willing to tolerate. It usually starts out trying to buy the bid or sell the ask. Then I try to chase, always one tick behind the market. Next thing you know, I am trying to get in where I would have been getting...

ok good, one more thing. I also use stops for entries. You can use an auto stop with an entry stop, but it involves some mousing.

thanks easy, nice link. Well written and fun to read. Now give me some time to go back and study it and set it all up. This is just the kind of crazy idea I like playing with.

they're double bid ask. But you can change that if want to. Sort of like picking out the colors for your casket lining.

yeah I use them everyday. Not the native stop limits, just the plain old Ib server held stops. They work better than I do. No problem with them, occasionally there is a problem with me waitng for just one more tick, that's why I use them. 99% of the time I attach them to entry with an...

So at any rate, I have been having good luck using ma to identify garbage zones where in my opinion any trade long or short is no better than a 50/50 gamble. But what I've noticed is, the thicker the garbage, the stronger the move is when everybody decides to move to a new neighborhood. I...

well I can tell you this, my best day has never been bigger than my worst day.

ok, I think maybe it was, it wouldn't let you bypass the gross receipts part on sched C. And once you entered zero, it then triggered all kinds of other complications. I forget now, If I have time I'll go back and find it.

yes, it is explained in a link somewhere on this site. Even though you show no profit on sched C, there was a glitch in turbo tax which caused SE taxes to be figured in somewhere. I get your point, that is how I see it also. It may have accidently offset other taxes due. There is a way to...

not sure about that Puffy. That MTM has been in there a while. It asked me if I had elected MTM. I figure, I was flat Dec 31 and futures are mtm anyway, so I checked it. I never did file that return, not sure what would have happened if I did. But the most recent stuff I read from Tasser...

I've got the macd set at 12,26,9 And to add to the misery, I have the 10 over 30 sma going also. You may think it's ma overkill But I am just trying to stay out of that casino they call Congestion And scalp in the Land of Safe Milk and Honey Anyway you boil it down, it all comes out to...

all right. Sometimes when I download, everything turns blue, and there is a little icon and everything is great. Other times, I'm not sure what happpens. The download goes fine, but that's the last I ever hear of anything. That's why I don't use almost every little program out there that is...

I've only been using a computer for trading less than a year. And if it wasn't for Globex, I still wouldn't be using one. Or I should be saying, "If those young scoundrels in the pits hadn't made a mockery of everything their fathers worked for I still wouldn't be using one."

I did that, now it wants to know which program to use to open it?
