I really don't see a lot of people posting indicator advice. If anything, that sort of thing is absent from these forums. I would say that you can't find 10 posts in the last 500 that elucidate the nuances of a particular indicator, or even the general benefits thereof. I would speculate that...

KlAC wll move to the sub-10's if the rest of the market participants that have a P/E of 24 do also. This is the one thing that separates KLAC from so many of the others. It actually has earnings, and the earnings result in a P/E that is beginning to fall in line with reality. The price...

Do prop firm bullets come with a spread on the b/a like retail options?

A deadly accurate signature. Will that be one Porsche or two sir? Oh, the Bentley? Yes it's available. I haven't been around a group of traders since the old days. But I have always been a behavioralist. We are fortunate to be watching the formation of a powerful trader. I, for one, am awed...

Thanks again Db. I think the idea is a great one. Way to go! :)

The only discrepancy in Mondo's post was that he would be living in a box and ran a three card monty game. I have seen those guys just rake in the dough off of tourists. At the same time I feel sorry for the tourist, I am awed by the slight of hand. Well, I was awed until I learned about the...

Very interesting work Db. Across my 3 screens I routinely have the 2 - 5 -15 - 60 - D - W time frames so I see the micro trend bend to the macro trend all the time, and I see the macro trend begin in the micro trend all the time... every time. When a friend once suggested that I use the next...

Maybe the clerk was just trying to gain a litle notoriety like the kid from Lynch who rolled on Martha Stewart! He'll probably be on Letterman.

Well, Squeeze, bounce, rally, it doesn't matter what you call it intraday. We are 100 points higher than we were when this thread was started. Good call!

As far as I know, the posted data involves taking every trade. Whether or not Quah takes each trade is irrelevant. The posted system data is a result of taking each trade. I was considering only one of the two contracts. You are right in that respect then re: 6-8 contracts, as far as...

Yeah I have a problem with that whole thing because of the number of trader stops that were triggered as a result of that error. Not me, so I am not whining about my own losses. But there is something inherently wrong with taking a loss based on the inadvertent entry of a keystroke or two...

The system produces its data and thus its profits based on each trade. The goal of any system trader is to match the system. Not taking every trade is already well documented as disaster for any system. I don't know where you're getting the 6-8 contracts number though. Unless for example the...

I disagree that not taking every trade is not critical. In system trading, every trade is critical, because you do not know which ones will be winners or losers. There is a lot written on this very topic. A common mindset is for people to stop trading a system after a few losers and wait...

That's right, Quah. But I don't think you made a mistake because Db had the same data. I think it was just the difference in data providers. SSVS. Selfishly, I hope you share it with us. If you never posted again I certainly would understand that too. Oh boy oh boy! I'm taking the kids...

Indie there are four orders. If you are short and want to reverse, just use the term "BUY". To Ts this tells it to cover and buy.

Just a thought, I think that Quah's was really what he said and ours was really what we said. So... just for a bright thought, today's NQ trade did work to your advantage. I can't blame you for changing though. Have a great weekend.

Au contraire Monsieurs Db et Quah. J'ai NQ opening tick at 11:54 to be 826.50! This gives a long winner with the 1158 low of 824 and the subsequent run to 831 later. This gets back to the discussion of it all working out in the long run. Zorak, do you have the same data as I do...

Ouch you are right. Interestingly, my cheap no good Qcharts had 806 as the opening tick. Still didn't help. :(

Okay I have the ES as a SAR B/E for the 1154 trade. Any discrepancies there?

Wow, now that is cool. I just had a chance to look at the 10:59 trade for the ES. Looks like a good SAR. As was mentioned way back, the SAR operates fairly efficiently as a rule. Thanks to the Excel-lent records you are providing us, there appears to an opportunity there as a stand-alone...
