bump. I want to know. I like detailed-looking indicators like that :D

What is going on at the bottom of this chart? (sorry I don't know what this is... it was an attachment on some post but I lost that post...) What are all the red dots and green dots? They're all opposite of each other (ie. red will be 1 2 3 4 5 and green will be 6 7 8 9 10 or red will be...

Jurik's stuff is expensive. Just make your own with Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA?) and/or Hull MAs. The formulas for those are free. btw, qwert, everyone is going to tell you that indicators lag "because they're based on historical data." That's true for most indicators. Obviously there are no...

So you're mad that it takes work to customize your trading platform? Not everyone wants to bypass the confirmation screen.

What? Almost every trading program I've seen has a single click option. Sometimes there's a confirmation window (double click, lol), but you can usually turn it off. One click, one order.

YM 233 tick charts with the only indicator being volume. Does that work for everyone?

Every journal I've read is: I have no problem following trading rules. None. I'll hold through a fucking -50 tick excursion if my system hasn't told me to close the position yet. Maybe it retraces to -40 and then I get the close position. Oh no, I lost 40 ticks. Boo hoo. At least I...

I'm only trading futures so I don't really watch any stocks. I have DOM but to me it's just "random noise." I know everyone here makes $1k a day trading just off of DOM and not even looking at charts but honestly I've been staring at it for the last few weeks while I watch the charts and I...

Ok. I'm only interested in trading futures because stocks have to many annoying rules (like wash sales and having to list each individual trade in tax time which takes forever).

ES and YM.

Is there anyway to predict when this will happen (not the new-related ones) so that I can just take the rest of the day off BEFORE the huge spike? There's no escaping it: - On time charts it's just a huge spike out of nowhere - On volume or tick charts, you get like 5 new bars in 2...

I'm looking at my chart and there are sometimes big volume spikes accompanying normal-sized bars and sometimes big volume spikes accompanying large bars. Much to the dismay of everyone on ET I have never seen a correlation between volume and price action. But that's an entirely different...

I know sometimes they're caused by news but I assume that news-related ones only happen at :00, :15, :30, or :45 minutes. So when price is just going along being normal and then at some weird time like 14:02 it jumps up in a giant bar, what causes that? Especially if you're using tick or...

What kind of productive trading strategy results in margin calls?

I assumed it meant day traders who quit because they're not profitable. People who tried to make their entire living from trading. Not long term investors.

Today. -$25 net (before commissions) P/L statement with comments.

Not to throw indicators into this discussion but it seems like a lot of the time when this fading method doesn't work is when the Bollinger Squeeze indicator is not firing (I guess that means BBands are inside the Keltner Channels... low volatility).

Well I've made some money back but I just Martingaled my way out of a loss, which doesn't work IRL (except with Forex, I hear :D )

so today this "method" hasn't been doing well. So around 1pm I said screw it and I'm going to trade with the trend. If counter trend doesn't work, maybe with the trend will work. Nope. As soon as I enter WITH the trend, it immediately goes against me every time. Had I been counter...

The only thing I've found oscillators are good for is buying when they say overbought and selling when the say oversold.
