    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Just thought I'd attach a screen shot of a tool I built yesterday to assist with STR.NEUT.SQU. There's no code behind it but it captures what should be able to get the job done... I will monitor it next week for kinks and PM you fine folks the workbook and instructions on how to calibrate it...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    No need to worry. I won't disappear. We all know that ET is addictive. You can kill alot of time just sitting in various parts. I come here because I know and experience the potential day in and day out. I don't do the Trader P/L thing for flaming reasons. So Icarus and I are a tad different in...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Stalker, icarus has made a very critical and important point. Perhaps I have damaged this thread by putting in so much content that is not necessary at this point in time. Icarus is a vet and someone who I regard very highly given his experience and truth that we all must undergo a process. This...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    DOM/T&S... A couple of comments. When the market is running, DOM may in fact be sampling the actual action. If you monitor IB, have you ever noticed that all changes on the depth are simultaneous, it is because it is sampling the actual DOM. The DOM is before the fact, it tells you how...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Your entire history as a poster is a Quick read. Like most posters, you hear what you want to hear, and take what you want to take. Phrases like "sane trader", "nailed", "embarass", "beat your ass", "idiotically" shows an interesting EQ. I mentioned previously why no one is required and...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    SIGH... You sir, have mixed up your terms. The word you were looking for was PRECISION. There is a difference. Was it PRECISELY at the top, PRECISELY at the bottom, the truth of the matter is that it is IRRELEVANT in a big picture. So, PINPOINT is PRECISION... Accuracy is about whether the...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    CASE AND POINT! What authority do you have such that you are required an answer. The proximity of market turns is IRRELEVANT. But in your mindset, you deam this to be an IMPORTANT Q when for Dow et al it is the least important aspect. The key to great trading is consistency. Being...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Let's be honest about the whole situation. No one here ever wants to take the effort to figure out what's what. Sherlock said what he wanted to say for whatever reasons. I expected better from Equal. And cheese... Skeptics are everywhere. Then, out of nowhere, start demanding answers to...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Also double check to make sure that when your sim shorts that it lifts the BID price and covers at the ASK price and vice verse for LONGS. I can't tell you how many backtesters immediately screw that up. Then they complain that their sim results are different from live. For sure it is for this...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    A lightbulb pehaps... :D... I am not kidding when I say the potential is so vast and delivery spectrum so wide. I have notebooks upon notebooks of critical thought of different ways of dicing aspects. Eventually you realize the FUNDAMENTALS that are rock solid... What is this program that you...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    I, for one, am either at or below par with the rest of you fine folks if not a few notches below. You will never hear me saying I am smart in any sense because it is simply not true. I just put in effort and focus and continually iterate refinements. Again, we are all peers. I have alot to share...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Yeah... Did you see the INDU run to catch up with the YM... Synch is essentially complete (< 5M). I think I figured out how to avoid the previous post's ordeal... BRB MAK!

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Yeah. After a while, I found out that most people just don't give a sh!t... Then I noticed that the market is exceedingly vast and the fear of being front-runned by someone else is an absolutely ridiculous reason as to why something is not successful. I won't say that I feel like pts can be...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Dag nab it Grob... I see you posted on this juncture in the path 2 years ago. My previous post is apparently a rehash. Well, I'm glad to see that I found the same truth Grob did. :cool: Here was the post. It is precisely what you mention easy. THANKS... Here was the link of that post that easy...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    PATIENCE dear watson... I am ever so slowly merging things. The process is really a mind thing. I am at it's mercy. You see how one or 2 simple truths requires several posts of explanation. I have a couple dozen of these and so it would take volumes. Rather than dispense volumes. I put out what...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    OK... I think... :cool: Some prelim. There is one small caveat regarding str/squ/neut. Someone somewhere mentioned oil leading or something or other. I checked out OIL so as not to be ignorant (ie. crude light to be specific) and it didn't match up no matter how I diced it up. Conceptually...
