I did. No luck. That's why I want to build it and see how it looks in real-time and such.

I am trying to get my Excel to mimic this post from Brett Steenbarger but have been unable to. I was hoping some our programming experts might be able to help. The programming part needed is: He says a matter of minutes to create... :roll eyes: Guess that depends on how much Excel you...

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f110/the-double-cci-trading-method-3735.html WARNING! ! ! READ THAT THREAD ON TL BEFORE GETTING SUCKERED INTO THIS GUY'S SHAMS. SHADY VENDOR ALERT ! ! ! ! He got exposed rather quickly at TL and then quickly left. Now he's here.

I'm just floored at how much stuff he has on there for FREE. There are some good people out there and even a few that are in the trading crowd. LOL. A true diamond in the rough.

I like that a lot - I might have to use that! :D

Thanks to another post, I started going through some of Brett's blog entries again. I wanted to put a review so that anyone that searches in the future can find this. In summary, Brett's blog, books, etc are just phenomenal. I have never seen a blog that just gives away so much information...

My suggestion is to try to trade during market hours and work other hours. IMO nothing will replace live screen time. Looking at charts after the fact is so incredibly easy. That means try to block 8am-4:15pm EST out for trading. All other hours are available for work. After the years that...

Muni's are buy and hold, that's for sure. I used to sell them. Either buy outright or don't bother. A fund that only buys bonds is a joke after fees. Bonds were designed to provide regular income. That's it. Don't buy this thinking your principal is going to explode. It'll probably be under...

I doubt that the balance is 'wrong'. You'll need to check what margins your account is set to and what other restrictions, if any, OEC may have on your positions. Get on the chat and ask. That's what it's there for. Email could take longer whereas the chat can happen right there.

Depends on what you are trading. Your reference here is the YM and that may skip levels due to such small liquidity. Not such an issue on the ES.

Simple? :confused: Wow, my charts are mega, super simple then. I'm not bashing the OP, it's just interesting to see what different traders call 'simple'.

TT - you need to check out Open ECry's platform as this is an option. I really like the OEC allocation blocks: http://www.openecry.com/software/softwarehighlights_allocationblock.cfm from a multiple account standpoint, but you could build a block per FCM and divide them out per FCM as well...

A mutual fund has little 'traders' if you are referring to active traders. Most funds are buy and hold now to keep portfolio turnover as low as possible. As another post said, very automated now. The ANALYST post is spot on. Mutual funds do not (for the most part) engage in active day-to-day...

I'm running perfect now for at least the last two weeks. An upgrade came out this week as well, so that may have helped. It's been good here.

I understand what the OP is trying to say although I think it could have been phrased differently. Basically the argument is how can any regular guy have an edge in the highly efficient futures markets, in particular the thick ES? And it's a valid question. I think the question should...

Interesting advice here. Are you able to expand on this more?

Yeah... ok... Can someone say I was short and got my ass handed to me? :D

In a market order, YES. When you place a market order to buy and 'see' price at 23.75, in order to buy right away you will more than likely be buying at one tick higher to ENSURE your fill. If price is at 23.75 and a broker puts your order there and price takes off w/o you, then what? Who's...

Problem solved.

Some actual good, honest feedback here. I guess it depends on what you call profitable. For example, making any profit or making $XXX,XXX+ of profit... Anywho, there is a definite correlation between the time spent at this and the likelihood of being profitable. The thing is, many will...
