The number of times I've seen the word banal in print I could count on one hand. I am not at all well read outside of science and sports. I do know the meaning however, so ...nice word Faster! Thanks for the heads up on Sierra Charts. There are some positive comments in the software review...

I PM'd the same thought to Quah yesterday Db. I agree with you totally. The one I am looking at this weekend is taking the trade in the direction the %K is pointing, regardless of its position relative to the %D.

You're right. My bad. So far I'm using the free version. Is it me, or does anyone else feel guilty if they don't click on the ads once in a while just to help the cause and change the number in the counter? :D

Okay, I am just posting here to bring this back up to the home page... and fish for some more thoughts. Good trading today guys! :)

You're right. And as such, I have found the shorter time frames to be reliable. If you're 1 and 5 say the same thing and the daily is way off, as it seems to be with me sometimes too, go ahead and trade the 1 and 5. The T&S will have it right too. Plus, like your example, the difference was...

"Only fools and dead people don't change their minds." Programming a method on TS hardly translates as a change in philosophy. Even executing the trades doesn't translate as a change in philosophy. Geez, can you tell I'm at home taking care of my kids today? :)

Right, which is what I think Runningbear meant, but if not, that is true what Db said. The only way to keep it going is to have the datafeed always on. And in the case of IB, since it is not accessible for a short while at nite, then there will be a gap. But I can say that yesterday, while...

The OldTrader.... like the Farmer's Almanac, only better. You probably wear Old Spice. The after shave, not the cologne. :) I do! It's clean and fresh, not provocative. Smells good, not like you were out at the club all nite...stale. Among many others, you make a great point about letting...

I'm not a daytrader anymore though. When I was, nothing went home with me. Why should it, the day was over. Now that I trade a longer time frame, taking home a small loser, or even if the positon is against me intraday is part of the trade. That's okay with me.

Okay time is up. Quah needs to be working on more important things anyway, like developing another profitable method for us to use. Once nitro gets it figured out on TS he'll snatch all the volume before we get there anyway! :D To the best of my knowledge, these are correct answers: 1 -...

Amen to that nitro. Amen. That is exactly what is going on with me. It is not that I am taking big losses and small profits. I have that under control. I take small losses no problem. IT"S THAT I LEAVE SO MUCH ON THE TABLE SOMETIMES! TOO MANY TIMES!!! The good thing is that I, too, feel I...

Can't blame you for asking those questions opium... oops sorry, opm - they are all answered in the thread however. If you would just read it you would know. You know I... Wait, wasn't it me who just found out the data was from the 24 hour setting, after it had already been posted "at least 3...

Why is it I have the image of Don Vito Corleone, Santino (Sonny), and Tom Hayden sitting with Salazzo discussing Salazzo's proposal to sell heroin? That crazy Salazzo, good with a knife, but a little slow to get out of the way of a bullet.

The real question is... how does the nitrotrade P/L compare to the Quahtrade P/L. After all, with so many ways to skin a cat, it wouldn't be the first time that one method was the basis for another, and both are profitable. :)

I didn't think you could really trust the L2 after hours. I don't trust it during regular hours. Of course, you're probably not worried about a margin call. :D

I wasn't sure whether to put this in Trading or Psychology. Moderators put it where you please. With my style of trading I have an objective entry point. This point will change from day to day, and also serves as my stoploss. Thus it is possible for me to enter and be holding a loser...

Bundle, The situation you describe is usually the one that occurs prompting me to send a quick email to data@quote.com. Just tell them what the true opeing price is and they will fix it. It would be cliche to say that it hapens all the time, but it happens enough to where they know me...

Is there trading in Chicago? You guys are right. I lived there for almost three years. Great town. Good luck finding compadres. You guys will have a lot of fun.
