    The Importance of Simplicity

    I coded this in to Excel when TriPack first put it on his Gems thread. Of course, I haven't tracked it at all. The methodology is interesting in that it attempts to help capture a profit from the "nemesis" of range breakout trading, that being the false breakout. It is worth reading and...

    MA system

    Yeah, those periods you like are the ones with the most volume and volatility so your crossovers and trend indicators will be more valid. I don't take trades from 1115 to 230 for this very reason. MA crossovers will be deadly thru quiet times. And even though trend indicators are indicating...

    "The Daily Skirt" Special Report

    Kind of like being "forced" to tap the brake on the freeway, which de-activates the cruise control, because the other cars are screwing everything up. I hate that!!! Everything was going along just right...... :)

    30 min' bar trade - ActiveTrader ?

    andy, When I first learned how to play craps, I played the pass line and the come, and took the odds. The rule was three losers and the table is cold. Now I had drawn a craps layout on paper, so essentially I was papertrading the game. It was a huge benefit to have done so for many reasons...

    GG, November - It Begins

    An entry into your journal that reads "No trades today, I didn't see anything I liked," will be entirely appropriate. There are plenty of participants on ET who do not offer the stepwise approach to their trading method. I think ddefina is writing a journal where his specific strategy remains...

    30 min' bar trade - ActiveTrader ?

    The deal with always in is similar to my signature. Always in precludes missing the big moves that provide the profits that wipe out the smaller choppy losses. An important point to consider is the average range of a bar for the time frame you are considering, since losses will always be the...

    Techniques for Managing a Random Entry

    The purpose of this exercise is to have more-experienced and less-experienced traders apply what they would use to manage the outcome of any trade. For example, you are given the position long. Manage the trade. Here is what I had hoped some of you would say: I would put in a trailing...

    Techniques for Managing a Random Entry

    Random in the colloquial sense and random in the statistcal sense, while similar, are markedly different. I should not have used the word random here because it elicits statistical discussion. This is not what I want. Lets forget the word random. Here is the scenario! You have been hired...

    Techniques for Managing a Random Entry

    Exacto profitseer, exacto! I was hoping you would be drawn in to participate. I'm reading a lot about trailing stops and randomness and the odds of this and that. Although I cannot argue against such a measure, ie., enter - set trailing stop and stop loss - wait for result, I would be...

    Jasper pre-beta available

    wally doggone it, that's the problem. I mentioned it to aphie today because another member had the same problem. Jasper won't run on Windows 98 or 98SE. I know, everything else works just fine with 98 and it was only because I bought a new computer that I have XP now. Heck, if it weren't...

    Trading the Market on Close strategy ?

    Prescott, that is slick. Just to be sure that I have it clear in my pea brain... About 3:50 or so (not etched in stone, but close), you see a market imbalance to buy 50,000 MOC. I place an order to buy 1000 now, and an order to sell 1000 MOC. The thought is that the specialist is...
