AND ONCE AGAIN, A DECENT THREAD ON ET HAS BECOME GARBAGE This is why it's hard to find anything of value here. There is great value in this thread, but only the first half or so. The 2nd half and more than likely from this point forward will be trash talking. And it's too bad b/c this is a...

^^^ I agree, good post to reference ^^^

It's cool. I just wanted to see where my charting fell off but that wasn't the case since 2 different markets. lol

Ok, duh. Problem solved. I assumed that was the ES and didn't even look back. Sorry, my bad. :(

Got a favor to ask - can you post a full day chart like I did here and put a little arrow or something where your trades occurred? I just want to see exactly where mine fell behind. Thanks.

Weird. Doesn't surprise me though. After going through a number of charting platforms, I've learned that none of them really line up w/ each other. There's always some little difference, even with just a standard MACD and a 2 minute chart. Doesn't make sense to me, but it is what it is. And...

For real. I am tired of guessing which Cleveland team is going to show up this year. Not looking too good, esp after Winslow's little tirade to reporters after the game... He's tired of being a 'piece of meat'. The 'soldier' needs a little coddling apparently. That kid went from bad ass to...

GF, I did a quick look at the 2 min ES chart and here's what mine looks like today: Settings: ========= I can follow the first 2 trades but after that, I don't line up at all w/ your posts on the first page or two of the thread. Any idea why the discrepancy? Only looked for...

I use a Compaq/HP to do most of my trading from and it's done well for the most part. I got the 'desktop replacement' so it's a big laptop. At the time, just got the best of the best stuff and it runs fine now. Just don't skimp on the internal stuff. It's harder to upgrade, if not...

B/c you cannot do anything in paint that is useful. SnagIt or whatever is a simple, yet complex program that can take screenshots and do quick, easy and neat things with. I used to be a print scr + paint guy myself until I found SnagIt. A time saver if nothing else.

When you say crosses the zero line what part of the MACD are you referring to? It looks like (and could be wrong) that you are not using the MACD Histogram unless that's one of the lines there. If memory serves, there are 3 components of the standard MACD. I guess my question is - what...

You can trade off the charts w/ a number of platforms. Open Ecry offers that for example. They are a futures broker, so not sure if that fits for you or not since you did not mention what you were trading. http://www.openecry.com/

GF - what's the basis for the system? Reader's digest version is fine, don't have a ton of time to read through thousands of previous posts if possible. Thanks!

FYI - SnagIt is a very nice, inexpensive screen capture tool. http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp Very quick and easy to take screenshots, resize files, etc.

And what use is there in finding the green or red parts of this magical indicator if one does not know what the magical indicator is?

As an observer, examples w/ charts are most useful. Just a suggestion. Good luck w/ the thread.

I made this list a while back, but I think the books are a good start. Good luck!

Open Ecry has left the regular margins in tact recently. I personally like being able to set the margin I'd like to use and OEC does a good job monitoring their risk controls.

devil - you need to make sure to check w/ Open ECry as well. During these recent weeks, margins have not flinched at all at OEC, even as a subsidiary of Options Xpress now. I was a little nervous that things might change when OX bought them, but it truly has been business as usual. Margins...

BROWNS WIN! BROWNS WIN! BEAT THE UNDEFEATED SUPER BOWL CHAMPS ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. Wow. Didn't see that coming. LOL :D
