3B but coming off of a LH, we're still in a downtrend.

Wizetrade is worthless. Stochs and MACD will give you a lot of false signals. If you can find a way to weed them out, then it might work. But I have never found a way to do that. Good luck with your trading.

For everyone who's not a smart ass, the answer is yes. I just got the form in the mail :D

none of the systems i mentioned were profitable. everyone is doing the same, unprofitable thing.

i was talking about my version of it with the HMA and EMA :D It is interesting to note you can get similar results by analyzing much different data. For example, I've gotten similar trend following systems (entries and exits) by looking at only MAs for one system and then only bid/ask...

assuming you're being serious, I've backtested tons of MA-only systems and none of them made money over time. The same as all trend following systems, large, sometimes phenomenally large gains, followed by a billion small losses on a choppy day. I mean I'm totally kidding this system is...

Seriously? Did I just reverse engineer it in 2 seconds and I didn't use volume at all? An EMA of an HMA? Or is this thread a parody of something and I didn't get the joke?

isn't that essentially what you're doing tho? or it has to be the same actual ticker symbol?

When in the candles with the arrows are the arrows being generated? Upon close? Or does a down arrow appear such that you get in on the first tick of *that* candle?

^ it plays for me now. Not sure what happened before. Thanks.

Let's talk about exits. I've made a few decent entries but I don't know how to know when to exit (other than obvious things like seeing a hammer while short or something). For the sake of this being my thread, let's not include fibonacci-related things in the discussion of exits. I have...

This. Same for myspace.

re: speed: i dont know a thing about scalping but i've heard of traders configuring their stations to trade using videogame controllers as hotkeys. (button A: buy at bid, button B: sell at ask, button C: exit all and cancel, button D: reverse, button E: whatever, etc...) would possibly...

i forgot the ticker of the inverse SPY but if you own that and SPY is that considered shorting "against the box?" what if you own SSO and the 1x inverse SPY?

read a few posts back. im away right now and only posting from my phone. i should be back home tomorrow = more charts :) i've been having some medical issues recently and was in the hospital getting some tests yesterday :/

^attn: people who are PMing me. the above post was a joke. i dont actually have blackbox systems :D

i think im getting better. when i made this thread i felt paralyzed without indicators. now, not so much, plus i used to spend hours a week trying to program a holy grail indicator and now i dont care about that so much anymore. *occassionally* i will see a chart pattern and think "oh, that...

some brokers charge flat fee per trade. others charge per share. others are negotiable. find one that meets your needs.

3x ATR is good if its like your first week trading. as mandlebroset said, 6x is good once you're past novice level. i have a blackbox system running on ES, NQ and 6B that pulls 27x, 25x, and 15x ATR, respectively). Unfortunatley im only able to trade 50 ES cars at a time which limits my...
