So what you did was combine "normal" TA (a trend channel) plus a statistical study of up and down bars. The trendline coincided with a high probability reversal based on up-down bar statistical analysis. Is this correct?

The J L Lord books from randomwalktrading.com. They're $300-$400 each. The set of 4 is $999.

There can be only one!

The one where I wake up every morning and see how much my bot made me overnight.

Exactly. They're pretty good for pattern recognition applications like OCR, etc. But in trading there *are* statistically significant price movement patterns. For instance, multi-candle candlestick patterns such as "Three White Soldiers" etc, could be quickly and easily identified with a NN.

Please continue.

If it gets looked at enough it's absolutely ripe for stock manipulation. post lies, hyperbole, false rumors, etc and jerk the stock's price for profit.

I found this fellow's web site years ago when looking for how to automate yahoo stock scans. It's a treasure trove of excel and VBA, as well as general trading and math ideas. Looks like I'll have to archive the whole web site now LOL.

If you're trading with a small account, mini sized contracts may not be small enough to control risk. The smallest size you can go is 1 contract. But you can buy an arbitrary number of ETF shares to give better scalability. Of course, you run into the problem of commissions being a more...

There are varying degrees of wage-slavishness. I've changed employers 4 times in my 29 year career as an engineer. But friends of mine from my first employer (out of college) are still there and thought I was crazy for leaving. I've had friends who are contractors and change jobs every year...

The VIX is a cooked-down number. Relative IVs for the various strikes and expirations have to be calculated individually based on price, etc. There are many tools to do this. Hoadley's is one, another is OptionsOracle.

One of the best newsletters I've seen is stocktiger.com. The guy has a nice web site and sends out a newsletter e-mail every week. Every day he has new watchlist additions and a video explaining the rational of them. It's purely technical, he has a chat room and a forum for posting trading...

Hey thanks for the xchat tip. Very nice.

Yes, you can day trade in an IRA within the PDT rules. You just can't buy stock on margin or short stock.

Triple leveraged ETFs have some subtleties that aren't obvious. For one, there's a time decay aspect. I won't pretend to understand this, I'm just pointing something out. There's another thread around here somewhere where the OP claimed that going short both FAS and FAZ is a no-risk money...

FAS/FAZ are great, just don't hold over night. They're prone to sudden large moves which translates to high reward:risk. Very nice.

You said you found othernet, but they host many varied specialty rooms. Have you explored them all? #enthios is good (civil). It's basically a market profile variant. You didn't say what you trade. There are several good rooms for forex, each one dedicated to a particular trading...

IB's data is not true tick data where IQFeed's is.

Hey, are you guys running the desktop version of the TWS or the browser-launched version? I run the desktop version and haven't seen any problems and haven't seen any new upgrades for weeks.

I downloaded and tried this. It's very polished for a free tool.
