Currently folks, the only viable substitute for gas or diesal is to change over to vegetable oil. The cost is not significant and the glycerine component in the oil is a superior lubricant. To refuel, simply stop at any fast food restaurant and ask them to give (they often throw it out) or sell...

by the way, it would be nice if someone or perhaps several ET members would keep track of the down days for these vendors on a yearly basis. I doubt that anyone has this data, but if we kept a record of these outages, it might help potential customers to decide which vendor to to business...

You seem to have difficulty following the commentary Many offices have backup data feeds. My own has two backups. If you dont' (and many retail traders have no backup) then you are at the mercy of the fates so to speak. This is one of the differences between retail traders and...

I am always amused at the range of comments from the fantasy traders. As many of you know I am retired (recently), but I am pretty sure that in my office today, they are still using CQG as the primary feed, Esignal as backup, and until recently Qcharts as a third alternative. I think the...

Hello: I wonder if anyone has experience using DTN? It would interesting to know what their backfill capabilities are and whether they have a consistent feed. Now that Esignal has bought Qcharts I am about to 86 them from my desktop. Steve

Thanks oldtrader, yes that is a good point. Yes Mark I agree I hope it inspires some (a few) to get better prepared before the enter the arena. Steve

Did you actually get his point. Dr. Steenbarger isn't a professional. and for others who might read this. I have said basically the same thing several times. There are good reasons why professionals win at this game and retail traders do not. Taking offence because he points it out...

Yes it makes me tremble sweetheart

Gee Pa, I aint never had no "eductacion". Okay then enough jokes. What I like about this volatility system is that it can be used by newbies and experienced traders alike For newbies you make sure you only take trades outside the vol area. For experienced traders you can trade off the...

Ah, you want to be schooled? No problem Bryce Here is a chart with the DDF running through the 1:00 EST candle (Russell chart) and we have outlined the 25 min limit area. We can wait for price to test either the upper or lower line. I look for price to close above or below the line...

and yet you show up here to comment

By the way folks for those serious about using this method. I always include the daily, weekly and monthly pivots. If you go back and look carefully at the charts I have posted you will see that there is a tendency for price, once it clears one pivot, to move to test or at least touch the...

Yes Gilmore, you should be given an award for predicting the bounce off yesterday's low (Russell Chart). Bravo My point is a simple one. We don't need you to do this. We can do it for free. We can do it just as accurately if not more than you have. I think the point has been made Steve

Here is a last chart of the Russell As you can see, trading off the DDF and the 25 min limits works pretty well, and it is free. You simply make your rule set for entry and exits (I look for 2 point pops minimum). I "suggested" a possible rule set over on the "ES Journal" thread for...

If you had known how the indexes interact Gilmore, you could have put on 20 on the Russell. You dont Instead you were busy calling us all "dopes" Here is the Russell chart showing the bounce off yesterday's open (the one you missed trading evidently)

and you have been kind enough not to mention it to anyone here until now I am sure that one is for sale for another $2,000

Now lets go a step further while old Gilmore trys to find a clean glass in his cupboard. We are approaching the end of the NY lunch hour. What if we started all over again using the 1:00 EST bar or candle as our "opening bar" and again putting in horizontal lines to show a 25 min...

I have already mentioned that I use the DDF as my stop loss Gilmore. In contrast you have made no calls at all. Congrats on another off day. Steve

I realize that I am a "troublemaking loser", but if you refer back to that chart you may see a couple of things. First, using a simple DDF line through the opening bar as your stop loss, you could have entered long on the open of the second bar and taken a small scalp profit. Second, as...

For anyone interested, simply take an ES chart and look at the range from the open to the fifth bar or candle Place horizontal lines at the top of this range and bottom Now go back and check against Mr. Gilmores comments about today's range It is a simple volatility system thats it...
