Been wondering the same thing myself. OldTrader

What's the 2:15EST? Close is 4:15 EST...maybe I'm missing something. Good luck with it. OldTrader

LOL. I thought this was a good trade. Partial retracement of yesterdays decline, 10+ points off the low.....the only thing wrong is that it was on the wrong side of your moving averages. OldTrader

I would have thought the entry was either 65.75 or 62.00, depending on where you calculated the R10 from. How did you get 65.25? OldTrader

Just understand there is no efficient pricing in real estate. A 3 bedroom house on one street can sell for a much different price than a similar house just a few blocks away. It all has to do with the motivation of the seller. There are deals out there right now in my area. These are...

Good trade. But aren't you tired of those Bollinger Bands yet? LOL. OldTrader

I don't think your lines show anything different than any other day. Obviously if you can determine a trend day in advance, it will cut down on the losses of the R10 system. Just like moving your stops effectively will. I'm just waiting for someone to do that here in the journal in real...

I understand the averages are not used for entry. You seem to miss the point. There are no R10 buy signals that are above the moving averages, or sell signals that are below the moving averages. So if these averages are intended to "keep you on the right side", you will never be able to...

That's the point. R10 fades the trend. That's what it's all about. If you're attempting to use moving averages you're simply defeating the purpose of R10 in my opinion. Yeah, on a trend day you're going to lose 3 points. If you lose twice in a day in jagmots method, you're done for 24...

Exactly my point. Moving averages conflict with R10. OldTrader

So in other words, you didn't take the sale Friday at around 1293.00, because your moving averages were positive? You didn't take the buy Friday at 1283-1284 because the averages were negative? OldTrader

886.5 for the last couple of weeks. No problems. No disconnects. OldTrader

All these fake internet paper traders like regal trade without stops. That way, they can just hold the position until they are up, with no risk that they are inadvertently knocked out by a stop. Of course, no real trader would use a strategy of that type. Likewise, he uses the SPX as his...

I think the R10 system is going to conflict with the moving average crossover system. Either way, jagmot's system doesn't use moving averages. OldTrader

Where's your stop regal? Without a stop your trade is just like every other bogus internet trade. And by the way, your "trade" was the SPX, not the ES. You do have quotes on ES don't you? LOL. OldTrader

Where's the stop? OldTrader

Obviously you need to use hard stops. I might play if that's part of it. And the entries and exits, other than stops (which are already hard stops), need to be posted real time, not from 10 minutes ago, etc etc. By the way, what's your trade? You haven't posted one yet. OldTrader

My guess is that jagmot's method would have covered his short this AM at 1282.50 for 10 point profit. I'd further guess that he would buy at 1274.00, short at 1286.00. My guess only....obviously he hasn't posted trades the last few days. OldTrader

The problem is you don't have balanced opinion. And therefore, it hardly reflects an "honest, researched, realistic opinion." I believe this is because you have never been a customer. For instance, you consistently take IB to task based on their commissions. Most traders I know however...

Did we establish that 80% of these trades actually moved 6.5 points, and that only 1/3 move 10? I musta missed it. The point I made however is that the smaller the target, the more accurate the entry must be. I didn't say it was or it wasn't. And based on the info I read in this thread, I...
