    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    Sorry. That doesn't work. Given that the earliest you could enter using your rules is on the SECOND bright green or red bars (because a bar can change from bright to dark during its creation based on how the market moves), the rules you described are illustrated here. Each vertical line...

    What are Likos VOL Value Area Lines

    Maybe some pics would get some results. Here they are applied to the YMM8 from 5/20 through 5/25 on a 700 constant volume chart (I zoomed out a lot which is why there are 5 days' worth of data in this pic). They are set by default to begin a new day at 12am (midnight). edit - hang on...

    T/A won't make sense to me until I understand this:

    I saw a website where some guy was selling his e-book and there were some pics on his page of the same chart with different trendlines drawn on them. He was like "if you know which one of these two pics has the correct trendlines, then don't buy my book." hehe. I like moving averages a...

    NQ (E-mini Nasdaq 100 Futures) Journal

    in for this thread. since i got interested in futures (2 months ago lol) i've been focusing on the YM (and 6J, 6B, and 6E), but this thread has made me want to look at the NQ. i never really considered it before. does it really trend better than the YM? anyway, subscribed.

    T/A won't make sense to me until I understand this:

    whoops, sorry, i meant all the highs (to each other) and all the lows (to each other). not the highs to the lows :p

    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    I only have SierraCharts. Do any of those charting programs work with an OEC feed? :D

    T/A won't make sense to me until I understand this:

    You can have trendlines etc. on different timeframes for the same chart. Maybe a daily chart is trending upward, but the 5 min chart is trending downward (maybe it's a little pull back in the overall upward trend of the stock). And it's all subjective. There's no "one right way" to draw...

    What are Likos VOL Value Area Lines

    They look like another form of Pivot Point calculation. I googled it and found a few .pdfs but the links were all defunct. Searched ET for "Likos" and it returned no results. edit - I have them in my charting program which is where I found them. I'll post screenshots if you want.

    What is the relationship between FX pairs and Currency Futures?

    I just see 6E is "Euro FX Currencies." So is that like EURUSD then? And 6J is inverted to keep the price in USD right? What futures are equivalent to which pairs?

    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    ^ Your BuyZone is pretty cool. I was going to program it myself but I'm lazy. What software is that? wait that's MA and not price, right? Cuz in the Buy Zone under the 9 on the left, the fastMA never actually touches the white line (the opening price).

    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    Oh I thought the fast line there was price. n/m. I still don't get why it's yellow in between each blue/purple change tho. So you don't have price on that chart at all?

    Day-Trading 2.0 for small traders

    I remember the first time I made a chart that looked like that. I was super-excited and thought I would make thousands a day. Until I realized that the quickest you can enter is on the second bar of any given color (you need the first bar to close to confirm the current color/direction) and...

    How come I hear "more buyers than sellers" and vice versa?

    oh that makes sense. i actually heard it from Elder. so would the statement "there was more buying than selling" be inacurate since the number of transactions is the same? sorry for typos and lazy gramar i'm posting from my phone.

    The Solitary Trader-Life Hampers Personal Growth?

    Get some social development courses. Real Social Dynamics (RSD) is a good one. The main guy calls himself Tyler Durden (after Fight Club). It's less about picking up girls than the rest of them and more about personal growth, but from the perspective of someone who has actually turned his...
