    tampa's Revenge

    Dear, oh dear. I don't know where you got that impression from? A price and indicator only show the past and one has to focus for the full 100% on the "here and now". Remember you are a day-trader and most daytraders make things FAR too difficult. You don't need stinking prices, you...

    tampa's Revenge

    Here my suggestion on how to set up your trading environment. Double arrow: get in in direction of the arrow: blue is buy, red is sell. Single arrow: get the h*&% out! The idea is that prices scare me and indicators scare me so I am doing without all that. And yet I am trading...

    Trading the US T30-Bond

    The ultra liquid markets are the hardest to trade. Many professionals have left the bund as the result of all the "flipping" going on. And the news spikes are gigantic! (enough to wipe you out in one stroke). After mastering the bund everything else seems tame. :cool:

    ASC trend indicator

    I have extensively investigated AND backtested (mechanically !!!) it and once posted here a link to a website where independent results were published. It used to work in the big bull run 1990 - 1998 but I feel that since then it has gone downhill. Testing three years ago showed horrendous...

    Reminiscences of a Stock Operator...

    Dad said page 234 was the most important: Fear and hope remain the same; therefore the study of the psychology of speculators is as valuable as it ever was. Weapons change but strategy remains strategy, on the New York Stock Exchange as on the battlefield. …..”The principles of...

    where did u all learn how to trade?

    What it basically says is to do your own homework. If you are looking to others for a solution then you will (more likely than not) fail. Yesterday's experience may not be applicable to todays environment in this rapidly changing world. :cool:

    where did u all learn how to trade?

    Breakthrough came when I listened to what Toa te Ching (thousands of years old Chinese wisdom) said: Tao te Ching, tetragram 56: Those who know do not speak Those who speak do not know Block the passages Close the door Blunt the sharpness Untie the tangles Harmonize with the...

    Who is lying about Gann ? Wyckoff or Elder ?

    It is entirely possible - and very likely - that both were right. Very few traders are able to hang on to their gains. If son was born after his father has "lost the touch" and Wyckoff wrote the article while Gann "had the touch". Having said this there are some things that Gann stated...

    Downloading yahoo EOD prices

    MLdownloader checks back with their own server and gives a message of stocksplits. But you can turn it off (like I did for ETF's and HLDR's). Hope this helps.

    Downloading yahoo EOD prices

    like mentioned before: get MLdownloader - it is the best and pretty easy to use. Have only the highest recommendations for it. You can select which server you get it from and if you do not like yahoo then you can select another server (MSN, wallstreetcity, oanda, quotes - latter one is paid) Can...

    how to make use of the level II

    In most of the liquid stuff it is useless these days, just watch with a booktrader what happens. Read the story about the "spoofer" in the Eurex, but it is also visible in the forex and currency futures. I wasted a lot of time on this and now do not even look at anything else than price and...

    Berserk Trader !!!!

    I was not going to say anything but since no-one else mentioned this I better do. - There are some systems that have occasionally the big drawdown and the big runup ("the fat outlier"). - If your drawdown is too large in proportion to the size of your account then you are overtrading. -...
