    Simple Profitable Method

    Occasionally, someone posts as you do. Your observations on exits read like a decision making process for entering in the opposite direction. You make no observations on the two entries. Your hold durations were 3 minutes and 30 minutes. It really isn't possible to know how your...

    This is a big happy family situation. The emphasis on FTT here in ET is very important and very correct to be followed. Building personal confidence is well underway here and it is a direct consequence of the mentoring Spyder does and the way he does it. All the positive feedback you are...

    Leading Indicators

    The way things are done is hard to expain mostly because of the detail. In real, time the best thing to do is start with a slow movement situation. I find that trading stocks is a great place to begin. Then, transfer the template to indexes. Right now the market in ES (using 2,000...

    Why scalping beats any other trading style

    This scalping effort is not being done in relation to making money but rather it is an effort to find out what the extreme values of bars are cummulatively. Most traders who have been operational and effective over period of time put limitations on account sizes simply for the sake of making...

    Mathmatically, howto define Trend, Reversal, Resistance, Support?

    Failure tests are best and simplest. The four topics you list can be done in two groups. Group trend and reversal and group R and S. R and S are the same thing. The failure test for trend becomes the R and S test. To obtain the failure test for trend, just use an optimizing test...

    Leading Indicators

    The direct variable in markets with respect to time that leads price is volume. This was determined by Granville a very long time ago. So I look at all kinds of volumes. And the volume feeds I have are coded to give me leading indicators of volume. To use volume as a leading inicaor of...

    Leading Indicators

    I use leading indicators in the present and I do not have a need to predict. So I am putting on the table a viewpoint that is different than yours. You look at the present and do predicting as a way to make money. Or you look around and see people using indicators and you think and know...

    Why scalping beats any other trading style

    Thanks I am just dividing the net posted for one day doing 33 trades by 5 to see a 1 contract rough comparison. (12 points for some number oftrades some scaled.) I am a believer in adding contracts after a person gets performance. This is a stage by stage thing. At this point doing 50...

    Is NYSE tapereading still a viable strategy?

    I do not just read the tape meaning look at the T&S. Also I am not a scalper for optimizing of profit flow reasons. But I do look at two things that realte to your concerns. I stay in the market most of the time (so I can't scalp because scalpers are mostly sidelined and looking for...
