I have been trying to ID the preludes to an intraday directional run. I can only concluded there are many different cases and I can't count how often each occurs. e.g. 1. It starts with a narrow range consolidation first, then price breaks out/down. This is the textbook example of a...

Why did the article feature a picture of using the 3.25-inch floppy disk (to boot your computer with?)??? Come on... can't they find some more modern pictures to use on the Internet? :p I don't think the BIOS takes that long to load. 2 seconds... 20 seconds... whatever. I only reboot...

I think all guys need to out-do David Bowie and Boy George in makeups, with more blink blinks than LL Cool J. ;)

The lines (plots) in the main price window is GMMA (Guppy Multiple Moving Averages). If you want to read up more on it: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=GMMA+Guppy+Multiple+Moving+Average&wrapid=tlif12859783932742&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1472&bih=727...

I often stare at charts of the instruments I trade. Below is a chart of AAPL yesterday 9/30/10. I see one "directional run" in the morning (down direction). This is a typical run sequence. I labelled them #1, #2 and #3. In region #1... the thing to do is to stay with the trend... hold...

Your strategy works well for the RUT index but not work well for the TZ Russell 2000 e-mini futures?

Have you considered trading the e-mini futures on Russell 2000 index? TFZ10 is the symbol for Dec 2010. 0.10 movement = $10

Mobility as in you can sit down in a restaurant/coffee shop and trade? Or you holding an ipad walking down the 5th avenue and continue to tap on the screen to trade on the street? In the former case, one can do it with a laptop at wifi locations or get an aircard. In the latter case...

You may want to check with the tech support from the vendor who sells this kind of software on this question. I used to use Camtasia to record my trading session. TradeStation charts. I had 6 x 19" monitors on my computer. But I decided to record only 1.25 monitor worth of screen space...

LOL... sounds like an infomercial... that you need a drug called "Reducon" to reduce your confusions... :) I think you are dealing with many different approaches to trading the market. Each approach has merit in its own right. But different approaches may have different interpretations...

Here is a picture of my computer (Antec 300 chassis) with the side panel taken off. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=195662&perpage=6&pagenumber=5 If I were to install an extra fan, I will try to mount it in the wide-open space where it was designed to hold...

I think your config looks pretty good. I have a very similar configuration. The 300 Antec case contains 2 fans. They have been adequate for me for the past 5 months. In my old HP box, I installed an extra 4-inch cooling fan (like $10) inside the chassis to help the cooling. Just mount...

History shows that a lot of devices first appear as an add-on because the main board providers did not think of it... and then later on got absorbed into the mother board. e.g. modem (if you still use those devices these days) NIC card sound card (now MoBo even has 5.1) video (now MoBo...

I am running 8 monitors now but 2 of them were driven by external USB-VGA adapters. With another PCIe X16 I should do all 8 in Windows. I think one should be able to drive 14 mons with 7 PCIe X16 slots - but never had tried it... not sure if Windows imposes some limits.

The Bull/Bear Flags are harder to see. Good intraday trends don't happen too often for indices. Take some practice. But the general idea is this. YM, 1min, 9/28/10. #1: Bear Flag. Price moved big down. RSI3 oversold. Then RSI3 returned to the mid-band (around 50)... no higher. Price...

Enclosed is a YM 5min chart for today 9/28/10. 3 places for MoDiv (Momentum Divergences). Using the simple RSI3 (3-period average of RSI (14 bar setting)). #1: Around 6:10 am PDT. Price equal high. RSI3 obvious lower high. #2: Market headed down... in the backdrop of recent...

PO/Matcha: One comment: How to help yourself... 1. don't trade countertrend too early Look for Momentum Divergence for countertrend plays. Works more often than not. 2. don't get on a trend too late To catch a trend... look for Bull Flag (uptrend) and Bear Flag (downtrend)...

Sorry sis ~~~... :) I would not use "witty" to describe XiaoLongNui. She was an ice-cold, emotionless woman from her upbringing. She lived inside a grave/underground-dwelling, taught to purge all of her feelings. Witty would imply humorous. And humorous she was not. :)

Thank you for your kind words FMR. The path of struggle is full of bitterness and frustrations. Fruits came only from many years of not giving up and learning from self and past mistakes. The rests contribute to the 90-95% failure rate statistics.

If I have to do it over again, I will change one thing: I will not use P6T (trying to re-use 2 PCI display cards - PCI is the older bus... the cards didn't work in Win 7 for whatever reasons). I would go with the motherboard that has more PCIe X16 slots (like that Gigabyte MoBo) so that I can...
