If you feel the math adds up and you're comfortable having losing weeks, go for it. Best of luck.

What if you don't yet know enough to trade live? A good trader shouldn't have weeks that are pretty crap, IMO. Maybe take more than just Friday off and keep working on your methodology and simulator test it realistically until you're getting consistently good results. Trade 1 lot. Move back to...

It depends on whether you pay the full price or get a discount. I get the latter (a fee waiver) through NT Brokerage. I can't seem to recall the actual price at the moment, but I think around $100.

I use IQ Feed.

Any news on this one? I just saw it now. To be clear - is the pattern that with 2 gap days in a row with the prior day gap being unfilled, today's gap will fill...? If so, I just did a test on this for the ES and it wasn't very promising. I excluded gaps of 2,50 points and less. 2 Gap Up in a...

Interesting comments, @renko76. Food for thought. Thank you!

Personal preference I can understand. I can also understand how range charts compress during periods of inactivity. This may be seen as an advantage. But when I hear comments like 'Range charts are so superior to time based charts it is laughable' I'm curious if I'm missing something obvious...

Specifically, what things does range do that time does not do? Range and 'walls' can be easily read on time based charts as well, IMO. I also think 'exhaustion' can be read more easily on a time based chart (or even volume). I will be testing it a bit more over the weekend, but see below a...

I wish I could have arrived at the same conclusion, but after trialing various activity based charts (range, tick, volume) on multiple occasions and really wanting to make them work, I keep getting back to time charts. Sure, I can see the value in range charts and similar, but superior value? I...

Bailed at 61. -1,00 point loss.

Struggling to stay positive here at PDC. Wouldn't mind a slide from here. EDIT @ 03:08: Struggling might be the wrong word.

Short 60. Stop at 61,50. Targeting a move below 2857.

Slowing down at the Open, obviously. But I think it's gonna crack...

The way I look at gaps, we still have an open gap (untraded prices) from the cash close on Monday at 2850,50. Partially filled, but not quite. I think the all time highs will be tested, but since we've covered a lot of ground to the upside these last days, it might be that we'll need to pull...

I have reason to believe the high is in for today and that we'll trade towards 2850 and most certainly close below 2857. At least that's my basic prediction at the time being. :)

NQ and YM looking heavier now and not co-operating... We are after all up 70 points in 4 days, so maybe it's time for a breather...? A test of all time highs eventually would be textbook though.

Never short a dull market? I would be cautious shorting this. Very unlikely we'll fill the gap below today. Most likely, we'll be making new highs by the close. IMO, of course. :)

Pretty much as expected. Fairly sure we will stay above 2830 for the remainder of this session. Should be limited (if any) upside also.

Unless we open gap down tomorrow, we should be seeing new highs (2830 +) tomorrow, although most likely consolidating sideways in a tighter range than today.

It's not the market that's stupid here. :) The market just is.
