A programmer has offered to help program one of my setups, so I may do that since then I would be totally automated.

News out. 2:00 pm : Equities have extended their losses in a sell-off which saw the major averages and crude oil drop to session lows. The move coincided with European Central Bank's Luc Coene saying that outright bond purchases by the European Central Bank are very unlikely.

Looking at the chart, I thought something caused that huge sell off, and I was right. "2:00 pm : Equities have extended their losses in a sell-off which saw the major averages and crude oil drop to session lows. The move coincided with European Central Bank's Luc Coene saying that outright...

Ok, I got up today early enough after waking from a dream. I noticed a TA setup to the long side on CL futures that I estimated it would be possible to achieve a scalping profit from. As you probably guessed my other issue is over trading. So I said to myself, I will take this one trade...

Could be the data provider, I use Zen-Fire. The other issues could be data corruption. It sounds like you are using the ES. 1st I would reset your data to delete all old data, then from instrument manager I would get the ES Dec contract. Next save yourself a template if you are using any...

Then go to a University and take some programming classes like I did, or read a C# programming book.

Do not try and trade the SP500. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. What truth? There is no QE3. There is no QE3? Then you'll see, that it is not the SP500 that trends, it is only yourself.

In other news, 200 million Windows XP users drop support of Google's apps, while switching in record numbers to Facebook.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_trend Yes, of course they can be measured. The problem is being able to trade them successfully by getting long or short while the trend is in affect. Many people still think the world is flat, even though we can now measure the circumference of the...

I feel Ok when I wake up, later in the day I feel bad since I think I have Sinusitis again, and may need antibiotics. When I see trades I missed during the day, I am talking about trades based on my setup, not just random movements up or down. When I see that I could have made money based on...

By the way, I do have problems falling asleep at night.

I live in the West Coast, and always wake up late. The one day this week when it was loud outside, I woke up early, and had a perfect trade. After Wed, I also did not feel like trading, since I had no losses and was scared of giving my profit back.

Well, hopefully you and the wife can still afford to eat it. :-)

Actually, when you find the .1 % indicator that is reliable, then the time frame you use it becomes extremely important.

I would suggest using a time frame depending on how long you want to be in the trade. If you are going to be in a trade for days, you want a different time frame then if you are going to be in a trade for minutes.

Also, Iceland threw the corrupt bankers in prison. I don't remember once person in the USA going to jail for what the banks did to us, instead the tax payers bailed them out. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-07/iceland-court-sentences-ex-byr-savings-executives-to-jail.html

The problem really was cutting spending in a recession. What they should have done was break away from the Euro and devalue their currency, which may happen anyway. Europe did not want them to do that since the big European banks held the Greek bonds. Iceland told Europe to go stick it...

An example of kurtosis is the Poisson distribution. As you can see, this can be applied to trading to help determine the distribution of winning trades for an edge based trade setup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson...

But does this happen with NT connected to IB, and if not why do you not get a better front end if you are trading real money? Now, if it still does, why don't get you get a better broker if you are trading with real money.

Yes, actually I do see many job openings for developers which does involve programming so if you can get on that side of the business you are doing good. Also, again I would suggest looking for a something you think you are good at and will enjoy doing for many years. Maybe look at different...
