    Equidistant Trailing Stop Daytrader

    Anyone want to come over and help me unload three rolls of carpet and three rolls of pad from the van? I'll give you 6 points guaranteed! Using TA should make a positive difference vs guessing. I have been scalping the es for single points only, although I have been working on a larger take...

    Equidistant Trailing Stop Daytrader

    Ooops my bad! I have to learn to read the posts more thoroughly. I didn't see profitseer's use of "magic" in his original post. Now I understand both Mr S's reference and Profitseer's clarification of the same. Geez, if there is a positive correlation to profits and stupidity I should be...

    Equidistant Trailing Stop Daytrader

    Mr. S', I cannot speak to randomness so I defer to your judgement. And I too agree there is no magic in the trailing stop. I'm unsure where the idea that a trailing stop is "magic" is coming from. You are right about the 50% requirement and not more. Given that, my presumption is that by...

    What If.....

    Indicators are quantified emotions. As such, I can see how one might term a method that quantifies the emotions ultimately leading to highs and lows as mathematical. :)

    Equidistant Trailing Stop Daytrader

    No Mr Subliminal - but if what I am saying implies that I am, I don't mean to be. I mean to be speaking specifically about the premise that profitseer proposes, which is a guy is right about direction 50% of the time or more. The 6 pt thing was just to continue with the same numbers eddy used...

    Equidistant Trailing Stop Daytrader

    100 trades +/- 6 target/trailer 50 wins = +300 50 flat out losers = -300 Net before commish and slippage = 0 If the occurences of "if" that profitseer set forth are met, the worst case scenario is breakeven. If as he states, the trade moves any amt in your favor, the method will be...

    What If.....

    You know what lundy, I truly think that "to be recognized" is why any of us post on ET at all. I have thought about this before... asking myself... why do I post? Usually I am trying to be helpful, and I realize that I want to "be recognized" as willing to be helpful. Of course I have my...

    What If.....

    Okay, so the math works out like this, roughly: Started Nov with 145,500. Deposit Net 469,000 Ending Balance 887,000 That means that after commission you made 272,500 for the month. That is completely reasonable for the type and size of your acct and the commish you have tallied...

    Like the Maxwell House coffee commercial said "Good to the last drop"

    With the intent of the US and UK to rid the world of Saddam Hussein, Hussein has no choice but to die in battle. If he were to step aside he would be assassinated. He must be captured. Of course, the CIA will be right there when he is, and he is on the CIA "may be killed" list. So it will be a...

    Macd

    Sorry guys, I am not adept at annotating more than one quote per post so I have to post twice. I am unsure what you mean by original series, so I will comment on what I think you mean, which in this case is price. If price is what you mean then I disagree with your premise that price shows...

    Macd

    Breakout you are right about Lane's definition. Appel, the designer of the MACD, uses the terms negative divergence and positive divergence, and he also uses the terms bearish divergence and bullish divergence. Perhaps because his indicator also references convergence and divergence , too much...

    Buckeyes are #1

    I felt for McGahee too. It was a wicked hit... legit... but wicked. How you can say the better team did not win clearly shows what fan bias is all about. Our defense dominated you guys. Our offense put up more points than we usually do. The game's leading rusher was our QB! Were it not for...

    Buckeyes are #1

    We were screaming at my house about that one! By that time we were thinking one more first down and game over.

    Buckeyes are #1

    Gee, calls are never made by refs away from the play... and a ref who was right on the play never misses the call either. How in the world did it happen this time? Maybe that's why they have more than one official on the field in every sport... you know, just in case the one right on top of...
