    Prem, Tick, Trin, Vix, Etc.

    thanks everyone for the help! i understand if one was to trade the NQ, they would watch the TRINQ. (should you watch the TRIN also?) when you trade the ES, then what do you watch? both the TRIN and TRINQ? (this question also applies to TICK and TICKQ) thanks

    Prem, Tick, Trin, Vix, Etc.

    i know the smart guys here are going to think, "what a newb." but i have to learn this stuff. i've noticed a lot of experienced traders keep track of PREM, TICK, TRIN, VIX, ETC. i'm not asking for elaborate descriptions of how these are used, but just a short summary of what they are and how...

    Dec S&P's Trading at a Discount!

    i'm aware this is a newbie futures question... if the futures do not close, is it like 24 hour trading? could i trade the ES all night if i wanted to?

    Something very simplistic

    you are so right. this has been my #1 trading problem. i have WAY too many ideas for every little nuance of trading. if x does this then maybe y should do this. then if y does this what is the optimum value of z...and i go on and on never stopping to focus on something. anyway, i agree. i...

    Something very simplistic

    say you double/triple up on the losers and those fail. maybe there's a high probability trade to make from there also. any ideas?

    Something very simplistic

    quah, in the following quote, runningbear is talking about roulette, but you can see a method of managing a trade also. i am not at all suggesting this for a trading system, but maybe you could do something like this: enter a trade, 1 point target, 1.25 stop. if you get stopped out...

    Something very simplistic

    say you enter a long trade. you get stopped out and reverse. now you're short. at this point if you got stopped out, would you reverse again? is there an end to the reversing? just curious.. thanks

    good books (any subject)

    i just thought i'd start a thread where people could list books they like...related to trading or not. a lot of us are probably very similar if you think about it. of all the things to do in the world, we're all interested in trading...we're alive at the same time, we're at the same web site. we...

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

    guys, guys, guys.... when it was first figured out that the earth revolved around the sun, and not the other way around, the first people to realize it knew it was a fact. even though they had credible evidence, i'm sure there were still some that said it was not a fact. this stuff doesn't...

    fractals, the universe...let's get into it

    dotslashfuture, imo, it's ok to accept the evolving nature of things, and also question how it all started. i have a hard time answering that myself. however, i have no trouble at all understanding how things evolve over long periods of time. just look at my toad story a few posts back...mix...
