Profitseer, thank you for that clarification. I was quite confused before reading your post as to the purpose of 'skies posts. Some people have different ways of motivation. That's what makes this great big world so wonderful. I will redouble my efforts, no triple them, in an attempt to...

Very lovely, thank you Quah. I thought it might be something longer like that. You don't seem to be a herky jerky kind of guy the shorter 5's and 3's would produce. I admire the detailed simplicity with which you have managed to explain your ideas. And your willingness post replies to all...

Quah perhaps you didn't see the last post on page 35. Having read thru all 35 pages last nite, I didn't see the settings you use for your stochastic indicator. As I stated, I know that I coulduse anything, but I would like to see what you are using. Would you please share your stochastic...

Neato. I don't use a PDA. The screen is a bit too small for me.

Nice idea about the 25K for fun. And my thinking is in line with yours re: higher share prices. I will follow these also. It should be interestng. Btw, I just finished reading thru the 35 pages of Quah's thread, "something very simplistic". It is very interesting. For someone like myself...

I have just read thru all 35 pages and I am left with only one question for Quah. Please, will you share the settings of your 2 minute stochastics? I understand that I can use anything, but I want to se what you are using. Thanks.

Could you be a little more specific, please. Also, I think I have seen quite a lot written about the specialists in some other threads. Try using the search tab in the upper right of the page. I have seen nitro post some good stuff too, so maybe combine the search.

Excellent guys. 4Alpha asked the very questions that I have as I look over the options chain when considering a short. Thank you for eloquently stating what I was thinking. And the replies to those questions solidified my strategy. For me, short the stock is the way, in ... out... done.

Seth I knew all three at the time I was there. Not very well, just enough to say "how ya doin." I really liked glen, pretty cool guy. Again, I didn't know them well. I think his badge was LAK wasn't it? Ah, doesn't matter. Didn't know owen at all, maybe not even who I am thinking of. I don't...

FWIW, I have written into excel the code for historical probability as presented by Connors. Combined with NR4's and 7's as they do, I forget which one they use but I have both, then my little program prints the stocks that qualify within that set of criteria they use. As with many other...

Probably wasn't a problem, just needed some helpful advice. What makes me curious is with all the ads for online brokers, how did you find ET? I forget how I found it...and some folks wish I would forget to come back... Try to get that all set up so when it goes public you can get out and...

Seth, if I were a local today, ET is not where I would be at nite. I was a local in the spoo pit in the late 80's. And when we quit, that was it for the day. Other guys, listening to the broadcaster is easy if you have an idea what he is saying first. Then, like lip reading, you can figure...

you are the only "us" sunnyskies. I don't believe I ever said I had an exit. Your contributions are .... That's right, nothing. Your thoughts have generated nothing. Sounds like you had another losing day sunnyboy. Are you still waiting for someone to teach you how to trade...

Waggie thanks for that info btw. Very useful for a sportspage and comics reader like me. I should get out more.

Just looking at the daily chart for the dow and the nasdaq reveals the sideways activity from the last week of July or so thru now. Interestingly, all the systems I have written had monster months in June and July and not nearly as good August and Sept so far. The nice thing about...

Runningbear, Profitseer applied the lovely title. It was my response to a thread two or three weeks ago. Believe it or not, it might have been a thread started by sunnyskies, my buddy, asking about a system that really worked. I don't really remember for sure. Anyway, I usually trade using...

It doesn't matter whether it is tradestation or any other brokerage, slippage occurs because the market is moving as you place your order. The price you see is already old. Not by much, but still. Even if you have Tradestation automated - not recommended - it will still take some small amount of...

I can create any number of profitable "backtested" strategies using Tradestation. Even plenty when factoring in commish. The problem lies with slippage. This is the unknown variable that is the "Backtested system" killer. And the shorter the time frame the nore lethal is slippage. Longer...

Why re-evaluate in a crap market? No method will always work. You need only to decide whether your method is more profitable in a trending or trading market. It doesn't seem fair to you to trade those cheap stox. Are they very liquid?

Right now for example, I am in two positions. One is doing poorly, one is doing well. Both are still in. But I am not emotion neutral. The negative one stands out like a zit on the face of a pre-teen. I am dying to cut this one now. Begging to cut it now. But can't. Shouldn't. Won't...
