No, I believe that while this might have once been an edge, it does not work anymore which is why you share it. The reason it does not work is that the large players have paid for servers to be placed next to the exchange to decrease lag and have paid for order data in that they already can see...

Of course edges exist for retail traders. You have the same charts as me, but you are unable to analyze them in the same manner that I do. You also trade different time frames as me and have different targets and stops. Also, I don't compete with the machines that are front running and...

8 years to find 2nd edge. 1st edge still works but I don't trade it right now because I want to have something to do in the morning and the 1st one is for a longer term over night swing trade in forex. Problems with control of emotions that hopefully I have fixed. Issue with once having a...

Scalped a small profit long on Sunday since I will not be able to trade on Monday. Looks like some other traders are trading now too. Waited to make sure market was moving and checked that Monday was not a holiday. Seems ES right now is easier for me to trade than CL so may just stick with...

Well yahoo may have helped you out by pissing off thousands of its members. It has forced us to accept a bland home page if we want to continue to use yahoo instead of its cool customized home page.

Wanted to win today more than wanted to make money. Market out of trade before it hit target, but only lost 1 tick of profit. However, I really need to leave stops and targets alone once in a trade especially if its going my way. Now just got to remember not to over trade if I have a day...

I waited to trade after the fed decision and after the spikes. Finally I saw a confirmed move down, but was not going to chase. Was able to then short one of those bounces, but my automatic stops and targets were not set correctly. I got a 5 tick scalp but should have made 6 ticks. For those...

Solutions: 1) Wait till you have more money in your account. 2) Transfer some money to a prop firm that will allow you to day trade. 3) Learn to trade futures or forex.

Also, how do you ignore a user now? When it says add to contacts if I click on a user what does that mean?

Youtube stopped working due to I believe the adobe flash player. When clicking on error message, it stated this could be caused by not having the latest versions of flash and/or java. To resolve the issue, I uninstalled all adobe products including reader, flash, and air, and shockwave. I...

Ok, Some advice: 1) 1 min charts are just noise. 2) MA crossovers have no proven statistical edge plus they lag. 3) As you probably realize yourself, you are revenge / over trading. Determine how many trades on average you do on a winning day. Do not exceed that average on a day...

I did not realize there was a report yesterday, I don't want to be in a trade right when a report comes out, but thankfully I was done trading before it came out. However, I might have been able to trade again if I was watching after the report came out of the FOCM meeting. Anyway, below is a...

I have the higher time incorporated inside a lower time frame chart, but I use it as a guide, since trends can change and you need to know when the trend has changed. Also, I don't use the 1 min time frame since I consider it noise.

However, it would need to be faster. For example, in this post I need to click submit reply which is fine for a post. However, for chat I should be able to just type and press return to see something on the screen.

It would be good if it was limited to just members of ET. You would need to be a member to both enter the room and post. This way, you could increase membership and also prevent bots from posting or viewing.

I would strongly advise against your trading. The problem is only 10% succeed after many years. And if you spend 3 years and find out that this was not for you, then you may not have a fall back plan. Most youtube videos are fake, they only show wining trades, not the losing trades...

Last night I went long before my indicator turned up and had stop slightly under last support and got stopped out, then the market reversed up, so I jumped back in and was able to make a my loss back and a 1 tick profit. Market was again over support in my afternoon trade, so went long with...

I shorted there too. It was an R1. Took a 2 tick loss for the day. Down $ 25 for the day.

Save $ 5,000 and trade currency futures. There is no reason for any trader to not trade futures anymore unless they like losing money. 1) You don't pay for the spreads. For example, you are paying the Forex Broker a pip to enter a trade and a pip to exit a trade. On Futures, you just pay a...
