i'll be back in this thread tomorrow or friday. im away and posting from my phone so i cant really view charts or anything.

maybe, if: - it had profitable non curve fitted historical performances in all sorts of marketing conditons *and* profitable live forward testing for the last year without adjusting parameters - it didnt involve fibs or other market voodoo - it would reimburse for losses - it was...

Make sure your vid card can support the native resolution of a 24" if you get that one.

one reason is you dont have to list every trade at tax time. if you scalp 15 times a day and 200 days a year, thats 3,000 individual trades you have to list if you trade stocks. Not to mention wash sale rules. with futures you only list your P/L for the year and there's no wash sale rule...

i thought i'd get an answer without any crap. ET *is* full of traders isnt it?

ifl

Yeah but with all the futures traders on ET making $10k per day I figured I'd get a good answer here, too.

bump?

or do i have to get them myself online? last year was the first time i traded futures. i hear futures taxes are easy but thats it. whats the name of the futures tax forms i need? scottrade sends tax forms so i assume all brokers do.

I was away from keyboard for much of that downtrend.

that's what i thought would happen from the name of the checkbox but it didn't make a difference for me. maybe i need to restart SC

That setting didn't change anything.

Alright guys I'm using OHLC bars now instead of candles :D First trade today. Awesome trend, LL, LH, entered on a pullback and then price started making HLs and HHs and I got stopped out. edit - oh btw i don't usually have a fixed TP but this time it was the PP since price was so close.

I said I'm gonna give OHLC bars a try :D

I still don't see a difference between candles and OHLC bars but I tell you what, I will use OHLC bars next week since everyone seems to want me to. But they both provide exactly the same info: - whether price closed higher, equal to, or less than the open of the bar - the open, high...

You bring up a great point. I used to be a corporate trainer (before I got laid off, lol), and every once in a while you get a student who sort of can't learn from you (rarely happened to me because I am awesome and adaptive to almost anyone's learning style). The guy I replaced, however...

Or an adaptive moving average that goes flat when the market is choppy :D (just kidding... kind of... I've never seen an adaptive MA that responded quick enough, including ones that I tweaked and made myself. It's a cool concept, tho)

Everyone has indicators that they like and ones they don't like. Some people supposedly only use indicators. Other people never get them to work. Experiment with them until you find ones you like or don't like. Over time you will become familiar with many of them and then when you...

lol. ok. Again, I have no proof that you're actually a profitable trader. How do I know I won't do my 500 hours of community service (or wire you $2,000 like you asked for via PM) and then you end up being like Jack Hershey or Woodie or any of the other trading "gurus" who aren't profitable...
