If this is a stupid thread, what does that make you, Pekelo, in participating? Well, regardless, I'm happy for you and your unsung genius for intraday trading. Me? I'm just not that smart. So when indications suggested good entries, I entered, but looking for a 1sec-1min time-in-trade. "Just...

HA! It always takes me some time to find this, but I did (just now)!! :) https://www.investing.com/indices/us-spx-500-futures-historical-data

Stay with the phone. Look up/try different numbers. (There are a few.)

WHOA!!!!! HERE WE ARE!!!!! Those hairy, hairy wick/candles (ES/SPX) are a tick-scalper's dream. Another day of the 6min SMA of ATR WAYYYYY above 0.50 -- we're peeling 1.0-2.0 since the open?? And so much wash!!! You could enter on the wrong side right now, and be taken out in less time than...

Now THAT made my Friday. Jeez, Louise....... ((AND YOU CAN CUT&PASTE THEM!! {At least the "hands"} Cool!)) I need to live a bigger life....:rolleyes:

Heh! Give it a shot! Just name it "Detritus Fund" for me, will ya? That was always my favorite. If you want, I have a whole notebook full of rules and protocols that I developed back then (yes, even as a kid, I was a trading nerd. Sheeesh), I should be able to put my hands on it.....

Nicely done, you guys. Sweet. :thumbsup: (Sorry, but it's too rare to have a simple question, and then collaborative answers. Wish we had an "Applause" emoji. Heh!)

S.O.H.!!! Having a rule like BlakeJ outlines will allow you to Sit On [Your] Hands, without any mental qualms or anguish or ANYTHING. (Except, perhaps, that profit in your pocket. Or, in the case of "I am not in rhythm with the market" Days, a minimal loss.) Way-:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Before I started trading, I worked in an office of lawyers, economists, accountants, and engineers. During the late '90s, discussion of the financial markets was rampant. (Much of it was 'work-oriented', to be fair, but a lot was more for fun.) At one point, a contest was started, to settle who...

Ya gotta give us more, B-A -- could be anything! Hey! And an '07! Good vintage.

Yes -- forget about profit. It sounds like you're scalping. If you're scalping, you're like an NFL quarterback. Isn't the Superbowl this weekend? If Tom Brady throws a touchdown, what do you think is running through his mind in the next huddle? What if he threw an interception? Do you think he...

It's mathematics -- but G.I.G.O. If you don't adjust it to fit the market -- Guess what? That's right: it won't fit the market. Remember this: When you really learn the ADX/DMIs, you can draw the operative candles just be looking at it. That's some serious indicatornessishness.

No, "Soes!" Okay? "Soes!!" Say it with me now. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not to be a stinker, but somebody didn't proof. As a pie chart, over one-quarter of the area is SPY -- maybe 26%-27% -- not the 16% that the graphic claims. If you give it a tilt, you can imagine the SPX to be about half of a quarter -- or 12.5% or so -- not the 7% claimed. And of course, when...

Nope. They "withdraw" their product at $400, and raise it to $425 -- no, $510 -- no, $675 -- "Too late!" $800. Same a trader's price ladder. (Any willing) Buyers are chasing the offer.

No. This is something I hear The Bozos Of Marketdom opine about all the time: "Oh! The Bulls were in control, today! Drove the prices up!" No. No, no, no and NO. If the bulls were in control, they would withdraw from the market, leaving any sellers to "chase the bid" (being, of course, a...

Just had to chime in: "Very Smart!!" (in my well-considered opinion...).

I'll give it a crack: "what has been the volume for this [underlying] for the past 50 days -- on average -- please?" :D

I spent a years as a regulatory economist in electric utility regulation. Loved the work. But every time I did something big (invented a fuel-costing algorithm in a Big Coal state, constructed a Lotus 1-2-3 forecasting system for a tiny, lines-with-a-ruler gas utility, wrote head-piece articles...
