I have a friend who scalps intraday and his charts are covered with indicators. BB's, fast and slo sto, two macds and multiple moving averages. He swears by them but when I look at his entries they are pretty obvious without all the bells and whistles but hey, whatever works.

George Pruitt has a fascinating article in August Active Trader. He is with Futures Truth and has been testing systems for years. He says that no system based on indicators that he has tested has ever worked. There are systems that work, but they are simple trend following sytems based on...

I have started watching it. Not trading it yet. $5 dollar ticks. Did about 9k today. spread seemed to remain fairly tight.

A pretty good scam. In days of yore it was more difficult to generate the volume of mail neccessary. With the miniscule cost of emailing it is making a comeback.

I cant take a long position in bonds this week because IB has some problem with "physical delivery". What I dont understand is the contract specs say that trading stops 7 business days before the last business day of the contract month. This is August!! How come the September contract is a...

Esignal is very good, imo. I have the equities pkg by the year and it only comes out to 70 or 80 bucks a month. The advanced charting is good and getting better all the time. If they dont have an indicator you want you can get someone to write an efs for you. While im at it if esignal tech reads...

Life is hard. It is not suprising that so many people drink. The older you get the less you are able to distract yourself and its amazing how long a day can be without distractions. I have no answer for you, my friend, except to say that you have a lot of company.

Why bother. There are so many more patterns that are much easier to trade. I know people who do very well trading breakouts and ping ponging ranges but they are the exception, not the rule.

I cant tell you how many times ive quit at the end of a bad day. After a few years youll get over it.

Do the european markets have economic number releases at certain times similiar to the US markets that you need to be aware of when trading estx50?

Is win2000 a restore disc that came with a new computer? If so it may not install on another computer. If it is a regular cd then you can install it right over 98 with the option of dual boot or not. I would reccomend fdisking and starting from scratch, though.

i dont think there are near the people here reflected in the membership number. Many of these are multiples of one user, many are no longer here, etc. I actually think the number of active posters remains fairly constant.

I hear you can get 100k for a good heart on the black market.

Can somebody tell me if you can run the ninjatrader simulator and still use tws in the standard way for real trading at the same time? I want to test some strategies while still trading for real.

I used to think somebody trying to do 2x daily range was nuts. Not! Not me but it is being done. p.s. it really pisses me off. I use to think i was smart.

i es pt = 2.5 nq pt=10 dow pt=$50

Yes. That is my point. Every time I get away from what I know I get burned. Im very hard-headed. I want it NOW! But of course thats not the way it works. p.s.
