    The Importance of Simplicity

    Well I threw in the S/R and fib stuff to disguise my little-known, double-secret, never-before-revealed fact that I use ma's to enter trades. And they make great spots to time retracement targets. And...it doesn't matter whether it is a 5, 15, or daily chart. They all offer break and retrace...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    "Different gurus may apply different shades of lipstick to it, but it's still the same pig. " Whereas I thought I had heard them all - I realize now I am a rookie. That is hilarious. True, but hilarious. :D As for the retracement, that is by far my favorite trade. Whether or not it's to a...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Wow, that made me think....smell the wood burning? :D It is said that one shouldn't begin trading a system when it is winning, but rather when it is losing. Although as has been discussed ad nauseum about randomness, one never knows when that '50 losers in a row' run will occur...

    Qcharts beta question

    Hey bundle, If you go to the thread by Quah "Something Very Simplistic" I think it is called, he lists the fib times for a 1 minute chart. The post doing so is one of the first in the thread. Plus, I imagine from that if you search "fib times" it will lead you there also. :)

    "Lightning Fast" Well I just don't know about that! I'll need some clarification on that, please!!! We all know that light travels at 186,000 miles per second. And the US Dept of Energy says that lightning travels at speeds up to 93,000 miles per second, or half the speed of light...

    Gak! Too much software

    Heck no you aren't... but some of the strategies you guys have up your sleeves would befuddle an astrophysicist. And I'm sure the programs you are running are longer than many of the non-academic books I've ever read...and maybe longer than some of those too. :)

    Low risk way for real trade testing

    Actually almost , it is a good one. But for starters, there are two threads that will give you a nice start. One is presently generating a lot of interest and participation, The Importance of Simplicity. Also search TriPack's posts for his thread about GEMS. He has taken some of the methods...

    Gak! Too much software

    It seems your needs and price range would be met by Tradestation. They have integrated trading and their commission structure for stocks is very competitive. All of the needs you mentioned are there except for scanning, which is nicely done with your present TC2000. Metooxx says that TS is a...

    Over-use of Quote feature

    I agree with Cathy about the font size for the same reason and the rest of the group re: posting an edited version vs the whole thing. :)

    Pivot Points

    911.25 9:54 QCharts By the way ddefina et al QCharts users. Many times on the 1 minute chart the opening trade for each bar is different than what the CME shows as the opening trade. QCharts says they are aware of this prob and are working on it. :)

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Katrina, Girlpower of course has the final word here, but I think she is saying that after the first two 15 minute bars, if the third bar is breaking the established high, she gets long, and vv for shorts. :)

    Echo Remote Trading Minimum Contribution?

    Well it's kind of late...even for Phoenix. I spoke with Gabrielle the office administrator within the last few weeks and she said 10K. However, Rob or Jeff will have the final say. They are very nice guys and will gladly help you. :)

    Mr Sub that is funny. :D :D FWIW, this is a slick package. Still some bugs but Aphie is fixing those as we read. Hey, after all, it's still pre-beta. I understand he wants to let traders have the platform for free, but charge $500 for the manual. Oh well, I'm a pre-beta tester so I get...

    Futures likes Pitt leaving!

    Futures like change of any kind. Is there any good reason why the price of gasoline fluctuates like it does? No! War...no war...bomb in Israel...retaliation....Repubs are in control...Pitt leaves...Saddam has a cold....quake in Alaska. And the actual flow of oil has not changed a...

    Better Cover Those Equity Shorts at the Open on 11/06

    Would it be more prudent to cover at the open, or employ the 30 minute rule? :)

    Thanks Aphie, I'll look at it today. Although, I don't expect much. After all, you're the only person in the whole world, and especially on ET who has ever lost money during the first month of trading. Everyone else was able to quit their job, buy a new house, fund the 401K, and take a...

    Pivot Points

    If you notice, the range from the projected high to low is the same as the range from the R2 to Pivot, and the Pivot to S2. You'll also notice the range from S2 to S1 equals the range from Pivot to R1 and so on. Knowing this, you can calculate the Pivot and from there figure out as many S's...
