Taking care of my children today so I'm just sitting down to check the progress of this neat idea. I am just up to the 9:35 trade on the NQ which I see is a long that reversed an open short for a scratch... thankfully so, cuz that baby was headed for another double-whammy. Useful info will...

Yes that is it. What Quah is saying...meaning to say...is at the end of the day the system produced $220 based on using 1 contract per trade. That is accurate. While more than one trade might be open concurrently, only 1 contract is used per trade. So the most accurate way to say it...

profitseer the good one got better, and the bad one got better too. I'm still in the good one. The bad one, which I should not have been in at all, gave me an opportunity to get out near breakeven, so I did. Call the loss a penalty for jumping the gun. And I'm not even Catholic. For the...

I think the confusion here is in the line of results posted as: Gross 11 points - 220/contract It appears illiquid is interpreting this line to read 11 points/contract. I intepret it to be the result of the gross of 7 winners minus 3 losers for a total of 11 points. Not 11 points per...

Profitseer your experience with always in is the reason I love the moving average. You might take some small whip losses but sooner or later, and usually sooner, you get a nice trend for big $$$. And as always...

I use the pale green color as the backgound. You know the one, looks like institutional green from years ago. Or the color on the old graph paper.... do they still sell that stuff? This is very east on the eyes. Candles are red down and white up. Bars are black. The black background with...

Jasper are you saying that you want the single ema to be the entry and the exit? The longer the time frame the better your profits will be with such a method. This is true of the length of you ema also. Using a single ma with price is the only way to go, imo. versus a moving average crossover...

phoenix, thanks a lot for the post. Quah responded to my question about the stochastic setting that he uses. He said try 17-1-17. Using that setting and whether or not the fast was above or below the slow, my papertrade entries and direction choice were the same as the ones he posted this...

I just looked and I don't think so. But try www.qcharts.com and look around.

I just asked this on another thread, inappropriately so... but anyway... how realistic is it to expect to get filled at the opening price of the appropriate bar using limit orders on the ES and NQ?

Commisso, I know you have read Quah's thread re: simplistic. His premise is based on limit orders at the open of a bar as you know. How realistic is it to be able to get that fill? I recognize that the opening tick is not the extreme very often. Thanks for your input. And just for you...

No matter what kind of day I've had, it is always "great" when my wife asks. Now she doesn't ask very much. Only once in awhile. They don't really care as long as the bills are being paid.

:D :D :D I love this place....

You make a great point 963. I respect what you are saying. In my pea brain I am still enamored with the whole art of finding a good looking setup, waiting for it to mature, executing a nice entry, and managing the trade. Pounding the keyboard or clicking the mouse all day doesn't seem very...

john is this how they are teaching you to trade? That's not trading. They are making you a hamster on a wheel. I know nothing about liquidity trading. Maybe the answer is in the search file under liquidity trading. But if you signed on to learn how to trade, that ain't it. Good luck...

As OldTimer said aphie, "I believe your heart is in the right place." And I know you just want to learn and inspire the free exchange of intelligent thought. But OldTimer also admonished you with, "don't come off like an experienced trader when you haven't much, if any experience." {Paraphrased}...

Btw, I appreciate fully your reference to lifestyle. That is one of the reasons I like trading long term. But if I am going to be here anyway on some days, and I can pick up some lunch money, hey, why not? Again.... way to go man.

Hey man this system is crap... it loses once in awhile. LOL. There, whew, had to blow off some unreasonable expectations. Thanks for confirming Quah. You know I am such a keyboard and mouse klutz that my only worry would be getting in the orders right. I think I can manage one, but both...

Things are going pretty well today it looks like. I have been following the NQ and the ES both Z contracts. Lots of profits. The NQZ just finished a double-whammy loser...yes? Or am I not doing it right. I am using the 17 1 17 setting on the ...... maaaaaaan, the 1 minute stochastic...... oh...

As long as they are not asking you to put up wads of cash and/or pay for the training, what do you have to lose? A little time? I expect even if the training is poor, you'll learn something that will help you make money in the future. The first lesson is on me and it is free... and it is this....
