TWS works fine here (=CA), too.

Technical analysis is often interpreted to mean "head and shoulders" type of TA. The funds do not want to risk the association, so they call it quantitative finance. In the end it's all a matter of finding the pockets of predictability and exploiting them while they last. Modern quantitative...

Amen. I only leave my limits in over night. I always cancel the stops for this exact reason. A bit of a hazzle, but not too bad.

I picked the central Californian coast. Love it.

Sometimes you don't need to actually peek into future bars. Just something like: if Open < close buy on open exit on close can be coded easily, looks profitable, but cannot be traded because the close isn't know until after the open. Same example applies to many stoch() cross systems...

Don't know if this is related, but Java (Swing actually) did not properly support multiple monitors pre release 1.4. Most recent is 1.4.1 i believe.

I switched to LCDs. The best money I've spent on myself in a long time. I have one DVI and one analog. Both are good, but the DVI is a tiny bit crisper, so I'd recommend getting DVI LCDs.

That's sort of general :) Do you follow a strategy that you have documented somewhere?

Have you posted the rules somewhere or could you post them here? If not, then I'm not sure why you're posting here :confused:

This is the biggest reason I don't trade the dows. Illiquid and the CBOT seems to muck with the trades every other day. I have never had that happen in ES/NQ.

Bed time reading. You'll never learn any true trading "secrets". Just bits and pieces and an idea or two. Think of them as Vogue for traders :)

My exact list. I would also add the Wall Street Journal. It's important to know what people consider "significant news" for the day. Also, the new SFO magazine.

I removed a few jack=grob messages.

I believe they were bought by UBS for about $300 million

Good post! Specifically, I found that you really want to limit the number of "conditions" to one to two per independent time series. For instance, don't use both rsi, stoch, macd, and 7 different MAs to time an entry. They are all based on the same time series and therefore not independent...

There is no reason not to contact equis if you have a legit copy. I've always found them helpful and fast

I think it largely depends on how/what you trade. I trade a portfolio of generally 5 to 15 stocks at any one time. Often about e..g 2/3s will be long and 1/3s will be short. I don't really know how to quantify the "catastrophic" risk other than to say that each position has it's own risk and...

Invite him over to watch you trade. My FIL also were "dubious" that trading was viable, but after seeing me make about $700 on a slow friday morning, we've never had that discussion again.

T-Rex: The rule is simple: no commercial postings unless you're a sponsor. It matters little that you haven't referred to Pulsescan today. You blatantly referred to Pulsescan again and again in more than 10 posts. That way, your posts will get deleted, since those are Baron's rules.
