Not sure I follow. You cant understand why people are fascinated with the idea of sitting in front of a computer jumping in and out a hundred times a day and making a ton of money? I was immediately smitten the first time I heard about it. It was when that guy in Atlanta killed his coworkers. I...

When you start looking forward to weekends again you will have arrived.:)

I was assuming that you werent already with IB. Its a simple matter to go to their web site and look up all the contracts they handle.

I know a guy who has a simple futures trading system for sale and the beauty of it is you can watch him trade it live for awhile and ask him all the questions you want before buying it. He has a free room on Paltalk called TraderVics something or other. I dont know what the system is about and...

LOL. I think anything under an hour is a scalp for you old timer. I can understand the fascination. When I started trading thats all anybody talked about. Level two and scalping. There were a bunch of books on the market about it. I started with ABWatley trying to scalp and the commisions were...

Look on your tool bar for the "daily price lines" It will automatically do the his and los of the last few days. There is another one called "support and resistence" that you can set for a number of different s/r's. Go to Help/ensignwindowshlep/chartstudies, charttools, and lines, for how to set...

Afternoons are more difficult for me too. Once the morning volume fades the moves become much more erratic. I make 90% of my money before noon. When you take out the hi or lo of the day in the afternoon then things can get interesting again but when price is moving along in the middle of the...

I cant speak for others but I trade YM and ES interchangably depending on which one I see as stronger/weaker on the day. Some days there is no difference but often one will be noticeably stronger/weaker than the other. Im sure Jack trades ES primarily because of liquidity problems with YM. At...

Curious how you handle these situations like today. Youre short coming into the 10:45 area. You see the possible ftt but then it breaks the trendline and makes a big move quickly against you before it ever makes a pt 3. These are the ones that keep me from reversing. I find it easier to exit and...

LOL. You tickle me stalker. Shades of my youth. Its been a long time since I used Sierra so I cant help. You might pm kiwitrader. He is an expert on sierracharts.

txuk This was an easy short on 5 min. chart. Test of top. wrb red bar. Bases for 3 bars. Volume totally drys up. Pt 3 forms on increasing volume and starts down.

I glance at those charts occasionally but I trade off the 5 min. fractal and theres been no doubt which way its going for several bars now.

Our channels are identical Ireland except that I dont have some of the traverses marked.

gerry thinks he must save all the hapless newbies from falling into the evil clutches of the dreaded Grob/hershey. He has read too many books.

I think he also said several times that he doesnt use stops. Were off. Happy trading.

I have heard that story over and over again and I still think its baloney. You dont get to be an old trader with stunts like that.

\ I dont trade stocks. Simple, when I want in or out RIGHT NOW, I use a market order. Good example yesterday around 2. When things are slow I will get in and out with a limit order. There are many different situations every day and many types of orders out there, why limit yourself to just one...

1 tick stops? How could you trade with 1 tick stops? I set a fairly wide emergencey stop but I exit when I think Im wrong. I will usually have a pretty good idea of where I want in several minutes ahead of time. Occasionally I will enter with a market order without any advance knowledge. All...

I enter most of the time with buy/sell stop orders.
