Heres a chart of Wednesday's open (Mini Russell). Look at how similar the open bars are. The first three bars overlap. Bars two and three are "down bars" so I look to go short on the open of the next bar. I have a scalp profit if I want to take it or I can hold through the re-test of the DDF...

Here is a chart of the open today (Mini Russell) The overlap between the first two bars keeps me on the sidelines. But as the second bar ends, I am looking to get on board short. I know that the next bar could continue down. As long as I use a realistic stop, I can get filled short on...

Yes, trading the open. Got it In a consolidating market, 90% of the action happens within the first hour to 90 minutes. So if you want to survive trading that market you have to find a way structure how you look at the open. Heres one way. Put a horizontal line through the first 5...

Look here's the problem with volatility. Volatility is like "the ocean". It can be quiet, and stay that way a long time. Then for "no reason" or (reasons unknown to us), a process similar to the aftershock after a big quake, comes along and "ripples" the markets. These ripples, are part...

Yeah, what you wanted was to pull my chain without getting slapped. What you wanted was to take me down a notch, right. Problem is, I paid my dues. I studied this crap for years.. Now you want to come at me with the "OK exactly when" bullshit. The truth is nobody knows exactly, but...

So? Dont you want to have that conversation about local volatility? http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~winkel/lp1.pdf Heres a good site where you can get an overview of the math for Levy process. By the way, this is just the first step. After you understand Levy, it would a good idea to...

You know this old tactic of "tell us exactly when" is pretty boring. Why would I need to know the exact day, when I can trade whatever I see in front of me. If YOU really want to learn about forecasting volatility with that kind of accuracy, you first need to develop a math background...

TRADING WUSSIES" You know I have been a member here for a long while, and to date I have seen only 10-12 people out of the what 40 thousand members demonstrate a real understanding of "edge. This fact is so striking (in my opinion) that I have come to think that this site is populated...

Seasonal changes to the ES happen each year. If you trade it "regularly" you know this. The correct adaptation is to change your approach to allow you to either trade the open, to catch the first move off the open or to trade the consolidation. The first two options offer the best risk to...

I really don't understand why you folks are so patient? You should have a little more faith in your own abilities and in your own resouces. I can tell you that I would not pay 5 cents to hear Blackguards commentary. It is not because I dislike him personally. I simply don't see an edge in...

I like ButtonTrader. It works well for all kinds of trading and the customer service is excellent. By the way, I get nothing for saying that. I use the product and I pay for it like everybody else. Steve

Is Teresa still in the Market Vu room, or did she get someone to take it over?

Ahh, well You may not like his style, but I read it about the same as Mystic At the risk of being put on ignore, WHY would you look at DXL and have to pay up when you close? Also you are trading small size, what happens if you want to scale up? Personally I would rather trade the DJX...

Now we know? I have been using this "method" for a quite a while now. I think one of the problems for you newbies is you dont understand the central issue. We have been in a consolidating market for almost 2 years. So this "method" has worked quite well, even though there have been...

Although it is possible, I find that most people don't have the skill or the discipline to make it work. Trading styles that could work for a trader with fulltime job include options strategies, long term (weekly) strategies, and some automated strategies. If you were to have a good strategy...

I hope you wont mind if I offer an opinion? I believe that chat rooms are of limited use. I think the best you can hope for is to find a generous person who knows how to trade and is willing to let you see how they do it for a limited time. From my point of view, it is the thinking process...

Seriously Perogie: I am glad to see you are having success trading the YM contract. I know that you have struggled and now you are enjoying the fruits of your labor to get on the right side. I hope others will be inspired to work hard and get a taste of that success for themselves...

Yes I DO have a suggestion for where to "put" your money. First you fold it so that the package has 5 points. Then you bend over. Then with one quick thrust, shove the wad of money into an "area" (lets call it "porgie's area 51") where the sun don't shine. There you go son, a new...

As "Dandy Don Meredith" would say "TURN OUT THE LIGHTS......THE PARTY'S OVER...." No more Monday Night Football'' Sigh... "You wont have Nixon/Blackguard to kick around anymore" This is it, he is "out of here" At sunset, he will push his dumpster two blocks down the street to...
