Good luck getting your $75000 and your first class ticket schizo. :)

This thread has turned into some great entertainment. I will just keep tuning in. :p crgarcia... from what I observed he often abandons his thread. Me think... it seems as if he can't come unless he starts a mindless thread every couple of months bashing day trading, or trading in...

On "Mentor": My view is that it would be wonderful if one gets a good mentor to help him/her get started. It can be priceless. I wish I had an uncle or friend or somebody who could help me when I got started. It really makes things easier. However, I think that mentorship, commercially...

There is no entry for "sell" in a Financial Analyst's dictionary. There are: buy, strong buy, morgage-your-house-to-buy, hold, neutral, outperform and "market perform". What the hell does "market perform" or "sector perform" mean any way?

Also, if you do a mirror about the overnight congestions, the 100% for ES would be around 1080. ES opened at about that point. To short at that price point is very risky because price has already done a 2-stage run. Wait for price to come back a little bit (or try fade the down gap) then...

Matcha: Another "one tip a day" thing from Boli. Today's mantra is "sell, sell, sell"! From Europe's bearishness overnight, to the job report. But... it is not that simple. I alway believe in "3 waves" in a price move. Sometimes 2, sometimes 4, but usually 3. Take a look at the...

You are welcome RN. Just don't hate me if you find Harris' book boring. :) I mean it talks about the structure in the sense of who is who and who is doing what. But it doesn't talk about the "price structure" where one can drill on to trade. bananas: you may need to do some Google...

Yesterday YM and S&P were very bullish. After a bullish day, my tendency to trade is on the long side. The only question is where to pull the trigger. If you look at the YM/ES intraday movements... they did have a late morning "bearishness", at 9:30 am PDT. If you use the closing price...

Beautiful! Didn't know one can make so much trading one contract of Hang Seng. Looks like you can have some live Australian lobster onboard Jumbo! :)

Great! Now I can play "Pong" between my left hand and my right hand.

This book can fill you in with some of that. Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners (Hardcover) Larry Harris http://www.amazon.com/Trading-Exchanges-Market-Microstructure-Practitioners/dp/0195144708

I was caught by surprise by that move too. I was not trading and was away from my screens. A drop of that nature during what usually are doldrums hours... could be triggered by some news somewhere. Note the down run in 2 stages in both rectangular areas. Those are typical of classical...

Range Bar, Renko and Point & Figure... they are very similar. They tell price movement without the element of passage of time. It's easier to spot support and resistance levels from them. Market profile lets you assess the power of that support/resistance level. Momentum indicators give...

I use RealTick through mastertrader.com. I love the platform. I love the service from mastertrader. Small. Excellent service.

With my volume, I am paying $3.50 per trade on equities regardless of share size.

Swings like today's are very good for trading. I look forward to more days like this in the coming months.

Yes the formulas should be the same. But I think you have a typo in the last line. S2 = P - (R1 - S1) It might be the "floor trader pivot" indicator. There are several of them floating in the TradeStation's user forum. I wrote my own because mine calculates R3/S3/R4/S4. And for the...

Today is definitely not a yawn. All zombies report to duty from being dead. Changing of the Guard at 2:05 pm EDT double bottom low.... It is a "WOW" from me... so much for Friday light, the day before a long weekend...

I like your mug. :) And a... cup warmer???

I think that a hardware platform should be supporting the application. If the app dictates/requires/recommends XP32, stay with it. I think apps like IB probably won't even need 4GB. I upgraded my hardware to i7-930/Win7-64 because of processing power I needed. I am running Win7 on...
