...just off the top of your head, huh? Thank you so much Kymar. I really appreciate it. It looks great and makes sense thru it. Thanks again. :) :) The added descriptive labels accompanying the buy and sell orders are the real power here. Don't just sell, sell this POS. :D

Ctrl Z is a good one to know. I'll try that. Two daytrade positions are about all I can manage now anyway. I'm headed to my TS6 program now to try and figure out some code. My simple theory is this, and you really don't even need a chart, just a quote sheet: if I draw a horizontal line at...

:D :D :D Yes I do mean 256Mb. And I am running XP. I'm a fairly simple trader compared to the things you do as I have observed in the trading room. Thanks for your insight. It is always helpful. :)

Wow GG, that was good. Whether or not it is the answer... it cetinly could be. Be quick to take your profits using as much leverage as you can. Nice going! I've really only figured out that...

I think it is because it leads to at least two tradeable scenarios: one that is immediate and one that sets up. Say your scan provides 5 candidates. Many times on those parobolic moves there are gaps from bar to bar, especially the shorter time frames. When the price stalls and takes out the...

So the question remains "how do we quantify your observation? Geez, and it's a full moon tonite too. I might as well just head back to my office and put on some coffee. I won't be sleeping anytime soon. Which is why I still think about esignal international and IB for the DAX. If I'm...

Kymar, I was thinking the same thing about just using multiple workspaces saved with different symbols. I trade less than 10 stocks, but iwas still wondering whether having several, ie., 6-10 workspaces open would bog things down. Each workspace covers three monitors and has 4 open charts and 1...

Lots of that sore throat going around, especially in Florida. I don't know where you are from. Yeah, and I made the mistake of sending a personal check to fund he account so I have been on hold with TS all week...til tomorrow. I did use my qcharts and cybetrader earlier this week. But I...

Thx Publias, I am not as well versed as you to have so many new ones that evoke real thinking, so I have to stick with a simple one to go with my simple brain. Having read thru much of your journal, I, too, along with the others am glad you are posting. :cool:

Whoa! :cool:

Of course by answering this I am announcing that I consider myself a successful trader. :D I enter my daytrades with an even quantity of shares so I can halve the position without leaving an odd lot. I enter on a price crossing an S/R line, which gives me a specific number to be right or...

I use the MACD and Stochs to identify divergences and overbot/oversold scnarios. Also, because they are so widely watched by the major money, I know that they will be getting in when I do. I use an MA as a trigger when the price crosses it. I do not use crossing MA's for triggers. Using an MA as...

I do get sick of using the mouse myself and enjoy the keyboard sometimes. Another neat thing is the Ctrl-tab function that changes the active chart to another active chart within the same workspace. I wanted this on qcharts but they didn't have it. Two ther things I would like to see added...

Hey Brandon, I just subscribed to TS6 also, and had the same question. First, if you haven't been turned on to www.tradestationworld.com yet it is a very good site for these questions as it is operated by tradestation. There is a poll presently being taken on this subject. Say you have...

Poorly wriitten, actually poorly edited - I think the basic Pristine setup and the late day 5 minute breakout are valid, especially the late day one. I don't use either of them on their own, but the late day occurs a lot, and in my own trading it is something I look for if I've been holding a...

I'm not even a volume guy...as much of a sin as that is. I run the most common indictors and MA's at the most common settings. I just want to ride on the bus, not blaze new trails. I had something else in mind earlier, I was wrong. Originally I was thinking there was an underlying trader...

Cool Gordie, and I follow this thread from the other one you started. Now I understand even more what you are thinking. Oliver Velez of Pristine.com and author of Tools and Tactics for the Master Daytrader... described the same scenario and as I recall, left it up to a "when it seems to be...

Gordie as sharp as you are, your post surprises me. The first scenario reminds me of Bollinger Bands which I do not use. Although it seems the multitudes do so I'd say that concept is right on. As many of the other guys know, I love the moving averages. I do use the 20sma, but not the 5. For...

Gordon...that's exactly why I don't use Datek anymore. :) Not being filled on an NYSE short even if I better the ask. Partial fills less than 400 shares. When you get 100 - 300, it just becomes a trading exercise. The worst is Nasdaq and Island players hitting you for odd lots. :p

I was a local at the CME in the spoo pit in 1987. It was October and the market was at all-time highs. The week before Monday the 27th had been exciting enough, with 80, 90, and 100 point days. This was volatility unheard of previously. Thursday and Friday had been "big" down days. Over the...
