Not really. I know a large percentage will fail. Why they fail could be due to many reasons. As long as the winning percentage stays around 50% or better Im a happy camper. If you can suggest something that I can look at before the market opens that I havent already investigated I would be happy...

I guess Im an oddball in that I do no preparation before or after the market hours. I'm not lazy but I have not found any benefit in it for intraday short term trading. The market never does what I think it will so I am no longer interested in anything but what is unfolding before my eyes.

Do a search for macd crossover on this forum. This has been discussed a number of times.

LOL. Three weeks! I did this for three years.

Why?

I used Bracket Trader for quite awhile but I started having the exact same problem you describe, I am now using Buttontrader and I highly reccomend it. It runs $22 a month for the lite version and $49 for a more advanced version. If you're trading one instrument at a time all you need is lite...

Jack I have read and reread these passages many times and I still dont get it: (Seriously, that a parallel line works is a deep and pervasive statement about the intimate connection of price and volume on the chosen trading fractal. The line parallel to the trend line is there and...

If you trade patterns you need to get used to this sort of thing and blow it off because it happens all the time. The patterns starts setting up and just before your ready to enter it takes off, or it never pulls back or, etc. ad infinitum.

I cant remember the last time I saw ES run up to 12:30 without ever dipping to the 20ema. I got a bit early this morning but missed the rest because I find it hard to believe my eyes. p.s. there is something funny about this move. Would not be suprized to see a sharp sell off later.

Maybe you can explain something to me that I have been wondering about. How do you intercept the supposedly encrypted input from the poker site for your bot to interact with? I know nothing about programming and was wondering if a bot was even possible.

Find stocks in a strong trend and enter on a pullback. You have a clearly defined stop, target and r/r. What more can you ask for? Oldy but goody.:)

[Assume you find a great house for $750,0o0 and get at 15 year fixxed loan. At current rates with a 20% down payment it will cost you $4747 per month. Lets assume that housing prices come in 20% and you get the same house in five years for $600,000. Rates are now around 8.75% which is still on a...

No reason to feel stupid. For most of us learning to trade is a process of elimination, wading through all the crap that doesnt work, to find something that does.

Sorry. I often abbreviate handles but will try to be more careful with yours.

LOL. I Have what I call GCS, the George Costanza Syndrome, which is the constant fear that there is no way in hell God is going to let you succeed. Now that Im getting the hang of it I am sure the economy is going to collapse. I totally agree with the first two on your list. They were and...

Not exactly sure what you mean Kmex. Jack says many things that I do not understand and find confusing but I have learned to ignore anything that does not pertain to what I am interested in which is the mechanics. I have piles of papers and 90% of it is blacked out.:) Happy 4th!

Yes I agree.:D And its true his method is still evolving but the additions are refinements, not changes to the underlying structure. I dont know why I feel compelled to defend him. I guess its for the same reason you feel compelled to needle him. I imagine hes probably laughing at both of us...

I said nothing about trading his method. I said that he has been consistent in stating his method, meaning that he doesnt say one thing today and another tommorrow. He has defined the method completely and it is there for anyone who wants to do the work to dig it out. I am still a beginner. I...

It is quite a task to go through Jacks posts and extract what is important from them and I can understand why so many people get turned off but what he says re his trading method is actually very consistent and has remained consistent for several years now. It has been a hobby of mine to edit...

Jack I know I am pushing my luck here but one never knows so.... I am sorting and compiling posts and most of the blanks are filled but there is one area that I would really like to explore. This was posted in another excellent thread that came to a premature end for some reason so it was...
