I agree Fj- professionals don't have time to try to decipher a message. "Thinking men" ie, those with too much time on their hands, may enjoy cryptic messages.

I was talking about trading those size lots on the YM. Check the post. Try trading those size lots on the YM and you WILL get noticed with slippage.

Bogan, Here's my thoughts on the 4 main e-mini indexes: ES/NQ - provide ample liquidity and ample movements. With the ES at $12.50/tick, I much prefer that vs. $5/tick on the YM. I realize the NQ is also $5/tick, but I find the NQ has better volatility at times. ER2 - as you said, most...

What's so special about the YM? The ES and NQ are far superior in my opinion and that appears to be backed up based on the amount of volume traded on these markets vs the YM. I don't get the fascination with the YM at all. I guess if you are afraid of losing, then $5/tick looks like a...

huh???? :confused: I don't think that helps the OP's initial question all that there Jack.

How you program what a hammer is will have significant impact on your computer generated back tested results. That's the problem with candles and trying to hard code them - if your definition is not fully met, the system passes on the trade even though it could be a great hammer, just not...

I hope you are right Osorico. History has said summers tend to be slow, but we have some great activity here in late May still.

I would say that the ES or YM is best to start with. Reason being that you won't *usually* see the big swings as you do with the ER2, NQ, even the EC at times. I think the ES is actually best. With the amount of liquidity on the ES, you don't typically see huge swings happen instantly, unless...

Slow and steady will keep you in the game longer, esp in the beginning. More experienced players will/can hit home runs, but when you are new to trading, keep it simple. Plus, a slow and steady could inadvertently turn into a home run.

I wish you success in your new journey; however, just b/c you failed at daytrading the ES does not mean it can't be done. I'm not sure how you define majority (51% or 99% or somewhere in between) but the market would not exist if the overwhelming majority constantly lose. Good luck with the...

Here is what the support email said regarding lines, annotations, etc remaining on the charts: Hi, Thank you for the feedback. At the current time, the chart lines/annotations can not be retrieved for future use. With StockFetcher 2.0 you can take a snapshot of the chart, but...

And that whole 1 grand can be gone in minutes as well. This is exactly why so many 'blow out' their accounts... 1 grand isn't exactly a blow out, but it will be considered as one here.

I emailed them Monday, but no response yet. I don't think you can get on the forums until you purchase the software. Was just wondering.

Good luck with that! Let us know how it goes!

No body (at least here at ET) has this information. Odds are that it's different people/firms at different times anyways. Why do you care about who this is? Going to send them a nasty email? :D

aok (or anyone else using SF): first, thanks for the recommendation. SF is a great looking software at a really low price. For the EOD trader/investor, it's nice. One question - is there a way one you sign up so that when you annotate your charts (lines, text, arrows, etc.) to save that? Does...

I'd love to know the intent of this... I filled out the survey out of curiosity if nothing else. Gotta love the brains at google... what could they be thinking about doing here...

lol :D

I also was a 'Shark' subscriber and apparently the sharks they are referring to is the trades that will eat away your account in large chunks... :mad: Just stay away from Price and bigtrends.com. I should mention that when I attempted to contact Price numerous times about the poor...

The actual work involved is not hard at all. It may be time consuming, but it is not hard. If it was hard for you, I suggest hiring professionals to help. If you bothered to read my posts, I said C2 could exist by either getting rid of auto-trading all together or only allowing those that are...
