lol, I don't think that was the buy and sell side that the OP was talking about. Think MM, brokers for Sell side, and hedgefunds, prop for the buyside.

getting to successful trading is really a long road, regardless of what anyone will tell you. There is really no incentive for anyone to tell you what they are doing if they are successful and consistent. It is a zero sum game right? If I would've focused on understanding market mechanics and...

I've actually thought about this same thing, the only thing tough part might be which opening ranges to use. If you are doing a stock against a stock, it would be simple. Try it and let us know how it goes.

Anybody watching Gold here? Seemed like the gold was moving in concert with other risk assets in the past couple months. The relationship with the ES is breaking down and I think we might see some strength going into the next couple months. We'll wait and see and let the levels play out in...

yep, but it will be the major problem brought about by whatever causes you'd like to mention.

You are fitting all of this into an equation that doesn't recognize the issue for what it is. It is a question of too much debt relative to growth and the size of the economy. Also down the line it will be a lack of demand. The only reason why this hasn't been a problem for the US yet is...

Perpetually growing deficits(% of GDP) are a crock of you know what! Nothing more than a theory propped up by academics and politicians to keep the ball rolling on the many unsustainable policies that have been put in place in the last 50 years. Deficits should be used as nothing more than a...

At least we have some lurkers coming out of the background. Hope you've practiced your ABC's, ACD's...your going to be getting some more questions your way ;)

Looks like Mav hit the buy button!

Prob taking some time off for the holiday week. No trading for me either, actually sitting in a library running some stats in Excel lol.

I would think a moving average crossover method may be a simple solution here. You could probably test this pretty easily. I don't know if you have been to the ACD thread, but i've always though that bracketing the intra day opening range and getting long or short on an A-up or down would...

Mav, With respect to time zones, where would you say you get a majority of your signals to enter into trades? Is it relatively similar or do you say... get more of your signals around the European session? Seems like we get a majority of volatile moves around the London session and coming...

looks like we are through that monthly A-down fellas....what kind of confirmation do you look for there? Time, Close of a Bar??

Thanks Bone. I'll report back if I find anything interesting :)

Also I read through some of the responses and couldn't even understand what some of the questions were. Talking about the ultra-specific quant and exceuction stuff. Although I realize this is important, Ive seen many people make a killing with relatively simple ideas and execution. You would...

Thanks for the tips...after realizing that this would require alot more work than anticipated I am slowly working on some stuff. Mostly I am working on refining a system that I'm already running. I am definitely aware that the simple strats have been arbed away by the larger players. Even...

Most of the time the top/bottom of the OR will be too far away to use as a stop. Time-stops are something that Fisher always mentions. If you are in a good trade, it should work relatively quickly. The trades you want to be in are the ones where other people are exiting and pushing price in your...

Im talking about a "trade the news" feed...not sure if you call it a sqawk or something else

Wait guys, IMF program will not be a "bazooka"...continue selling. Listening to the sqawk at my office can be laughable at times. I just want to put on my headphones and zone it out...just watch the price action. It is necessary though.

Yes it was...to the tick!
