    Will the U.S. Get LBOed?

    20 years or more ago the worry was "foreigners" taking over all the valuable US real estate. Certain groups will always find an enemy or a "them", because it suites their needs.

    Odd TWS behavior

    Anyone have this happen... All my data lines and untransmitted orders just disappeared when I clicked on the "Account" icon in the toolbar.

    Spydertrader's Futures thread

    Nk, nothing from the teacher. I actually found CNMS's post useful, but I have to question his understanding of the whole method, as his latest post on ftt's is way off base. Those 2 bars ARE ftt's based on Spydertrader's definition. Obviously DKM thinks so too. I took a ration of s*** from...

    Spydertrader's Futures thread

    Well, I'm not quite sure what to say. I'm posting here so as not to pollute the thread any further, but had to say something. I was called names and condescended upon. Mr. Spyder could only blame the pupil. Now, it seems his commitment (his stated promise) is beginning to crumble. 1 week into...

    Off hours high-volume contracts?

    Check on the Nikkei traded on the Singapore exchange and early, early morning look at the DAX. Fx is another option, especially if the CME/Reuters thing ever does roll out.

    Thank you Jander, point taken. I was attempting to strictly follow the rules. In this case, the rules specify exit on break of RTL. Pro, I believe someone else also pointed out I should focus on what works on not what doesn't. So, are you suggesting I look for something other than pt3's, as I...

    I do not swear, call names, or the like. I'm particapating. I spoke with Magna and I was instructed to watch my tongue and NOT attack anybody or such like. I am not, nor do I intend to do the above, EVER. Others apparently, hold themselves to different standards. Among the many things I've...

    For a method that is supposed to NOT be probability oriented, I find it amazing that we are now talking about numbers. Specifically, how many fbo's of laterals fail and how many don't. For your viewing entertainment, the attached image shows the 4 laterals from the day so far, each one b/o's...

    "Sometimes" isn't exactly objective now, is it. For a method that is supposed to dictate change or continuation (and nothing in between or unknown) "sometimes", rules of thumb, or "it only happens once in a while" is hardly useful. And when you say "respecting", respecting what. For example...

    Precisely, so what difference does the volume even make? Decreasing... no change. Increasing... no change.

    Good luck with this one Pepe. I've been trying to understand this for months. When I asked I was more or less called a fool for my inability to follow directions. I hope you have more success with what seems like a pretty basic, yet unanswered question. Over and over we are told that this or...

    Mark Cook-interesting

    I took Mr. Cooks class and am aware of the Cook Cummulative tick (I know the calculation) that he weighs so very heavily into his longer term decisions. His indicator can show overbought for the better part of a year before the market actually turns. His long term positions can go way under...

    You need to read more carefully. I have asked again and again (today) about something very specific. You just keep ignoring it. No where in the piece you quoted is there any clue whatsoever as to how laterals and gaussians fit together. THat's all I've been asking about all blessed day long...

    Act? Tired? How do you think I feel. I came in, posting a couple trades. I was nice. I asked for help. I was attacked. I will defend myself. The go'rounds come when straightforward questions are answered in a sly, nasty way. Insuating that I've got some ulterior motive or I'm stupid or something...

    1474.25 was 1 tick away from the top of that bar. You had increasing black volume. That's the clearest signal of continuation we have. There was a clear channel FBO. I can't see an exit there as anything but guessing. The red highlighted bar was almost flaw volume, looks like a dip. Another...

    "Spyder is doing his best to tranfer knowledge but you have to do your own work too, not depend on spoon feeding every little drop." LOL I avoided any posting in the forum until I had what I believed to be a legitamate, solid, useful question that could help me and others I'm trying to...
