    How do I accurately choose the period for indicators?

    Many indicators were created during the days of daily bars. In answer to your question, it depends on what you are trading, your trading style and your trading time frame and what you are trying to do with your indicator. As you know indicators are generally lagging as they are computing from...

    7:06 PM 9/15/2019 Breaking 2969 gives a fall to 2809.75 Buy the 19 Oct 2900 put is 13.00 At target if it looks like it will push through.. very likely I would stand aside (take no action). If it looks like it will bounce then sell a put at the money. (not trading advice educational only)

    Trading while having a job.

    So of course it depends on what you are trading and your trading time horizon your knowledge and your personality. Guessing at your personality, I would suggest you get Gann's books read and understand them and practice the techniques. Once you have done this you should understand waiting for...

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    In the video he speaks of "large enough number of trades" - so you really need to watch the video. You notice another poster used Monte Carlo and 1000 trades and got the same number 21. My math and interest in this is not great enough to debate the point. My conclusion is not in what the true...

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    looking at Adam's table you could get 21 losers in a row. That would be $9,660. I think your R is too big. Your expected return is $52.44/per trade over the long run. This is too low (IMO) for risking $460 for your account size. "This should leave me with about 6k profit per month on a 29k...

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    aquarian1 - Feb 24, 2018 at 8:45 PM In response to your question is 14 losers in a row normal? Adam gives a table with 16 in a row at 50%. (no idea how this is computed) -see last inclusion. Below in a list of his videos - which I posted earlier in another thread for those who ask where to...

    Anyone use anything else than time based charts for day trading?

    Thank-you. No I don't use Sierra charts. I am very constrained with time and use IB TWS and NT7 for charting.

    The company and the FAA have been finalizing a software fix for an obscure anti-stall measure created for the plane that came to light with the Indonesia tragedy. The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, triggered by an erroneous sensor reading, had baffled pilots by pushing the Lion...

    Vancouver Housing Plunge

    You can't even buy a lot in North Van for less than 1.5M. Take the house off and you might get an extra 250K. Even renting is ridiculous - hard to find and expensive.

    Vancouver Housing Plunge

    Well with a Cdn passport you are Cdn - though I guess you mean dual citizenship Chinese born. However all Canadians have to be careful. The USA broadened it's tax grab to include those with "substantial US ties" meaning that you must be very careful about not overstaying the 180 days and also...

    Anyone use anything else than time based charts for day trading?

    Hi Howard, Thanks for the thread. I've read it through and watched the video on page 3. (As you know point and figure charts do not use time in their construction.) Initially, I misread the title, and I was wondering if perhaps someone was experimenting with a variant of a constant time on the...

    Is IB's Hidden orders type "real" (or simulated)? Can a hidden Buy hit a hidden Offer?

    IB definitely internalizes orders and regular ones as well not just "hidden". They fill anything they can and even take the spread from both clients. However, as Robert has already said, I can't see the point of your hidden order. (If you attach an order to an alert it will stay at IB until...

    An Indian Company Announced 63,000 Job Openings... 19 Million People Applied

    I read through this thread. It doesn't seem ET posters want to put forth something positive. (Definitely encouraging parents to limit the number of children to one or two would be an enormous step forward for the planet.) However, that aside, the article is about a huge number of...
