tampa, This is not a personal attack. I just found the following a bit humorous: :) HEHE

Runningbear, I very much agree. This is one of the things that can take years to realize and control. Well, for me anyway. :-/

Biomech, Although I'm not sure which was lagging, I did notice a few times this morning that esignal's ES quotes were not matching IB's. I THOUGHT esignal may have been lagging IB by about 5 seconds, but I'm not sure.

Jack, Many of us, including myself, need an answer to the following question. The winners generally take care of themselves. However, some of us are having difficulty recognizing the losers fast. I am talking about your rocket trades. Could you tell us, SPECIFICALLY, how you exited...

FAANNNNNNTASTIC! :cool: Thanks, guys!!! :)

Guys, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I put all my trades in at the end of the day. I've been doing it by hand. I look at the executions in TWS, then I type them all into Excel. It's not something I enjoy. I noticed in TWS, you can go to file, export previous day's reports. I tried doing...

Thanks for the help, pretzel. :)

I just went over my version of today's trades by hand. I used 5 min. closing bars and did not use 1 min. bars at all. Skipping no trades, today's result was -5 points. Last week, this same system was +17.75 for the week.

One more thing... After today's debacle, I am hesitant to trade this again with real money. So watch tomorrow be a day when this system makes 8 points. :-/ I don't know what I'm gonna do yet.

LOL, kill that habit FAST. That type of thinking is EXACTLY what gets a lot of people into trouble. I've been there. Rationalizing a position that is not going your way is a KILLER. Trouble is, even if you can get rid of that habit (like I did), it still doesn't guarantee that you'll make...

dawg, I'm in the same boat. Don't really know what I'm supposed to do with the 1 min. chart. For the 5 min. chart, at least there are rules for it (stoch and MACD values). For the 1 min., I don't really know what the rules are. I will declare right now, all my trading today was based off...

tampa and dawg, Although unfortunate for you guys, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble today with this. I followed along with this yesterday and it basically ended the day flat. I backtested my understanding of Jack's rocket trades by hand for last week. Last week my...

What would the scaling have to do with anything? I made 2 esignal formulas to color code the bars based on stochastics and MACD histogram values. When both stochastic lines are above 75, the bar is green. When both lines are below 25, the bar is red. Otherwise, the bar is yellow. For the...

There are 6 on my chart.

Figured I'd give this a shot today. Anyone else get killed? :( None of the entries or exits were due to emotions. I followed all trades as I thought I was supposed to. I am NOT saying I traded exactly how Jack would, however, I traded my understanding of Jack's rocket trades. Instead of...

I have to admit, I'm really lost with the 1 min. chart stuff. What exactly do we do with a 1 min. chart? Also, do we use the same stoch. and MACD settings on the 1 min. chart? I'm not talking about the advanced trading yet. Just trading "rockets" with the stochastics and MACD histogram...

24 IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!

is this the answer? "The penalty for failing to file on time is five percent per month of the balance owed. If a taxpayer files more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is $100 or the balance due, whichever is less. The penalty for paying late is 0.5 percent per month of the balance owed...

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP Say you correctly estimated your taxes due and paid 100% of it on time, BUT you filed the paperwork late. What happens?! How bad is the penalty??

LOL
