My orientation on the web has just been to comment on questions other's raise about stuff. The stuff they ask about was of interest to me mostly based on my experience and mentoring others face to face. Once for a while an office I participated in had a daily posting of the ES. I wrote up...

Here is the equity graph. It shows X trades and a Y loss. This is about 16 bucks a trade over each hold period when, supposedly, the cycle ends as 4 goes to 3. We know you didn't follow the cycle shown but what does the 16 buck loss per trade represent? Please tell everyone why you...

What do you think is a reasonable daily return from retail amateur trading at an expert level? Can't any trader go from 3 to 4 digits a day? Wouldn't that person work up the 5 digits a day? If a person starts with 1 contract how long do they stay at that level? Is is possible to...

For am stock gaps you can use STOCH. Do the buy in the late PM the prior day. Use the fast line on the STOCH and use a very short STOCH default.

Hi jem, My position is similar to yours. Both of us use the best that we are aware of that is available. There is a "trading forum" running on how weird I am. It was begun by a person who took the liberty to post a pm I sent him in response to a post similar to those you make about me...

I probably don't. It is probably observable that things are coming to a close here. Most of the traffic associatd with me has an OCD tinge to it. These guys do a search every hour or so and post their pics and mantra. Somehow this thread didn't get dumped into chit chat so it is still...

At the beginning of the SPM a few things came up. Rather than post in SPM, I felt that a couple of tweaks could handle the cause of losses out weighing gains. I PM'ed him so he could make the changes in the journal himself. Substantively, the MACD was "bridging". And he did not know how...

Anyone who wishes can search NTRS and see when it was traded and when it appeared on the camtasias. There you will see the trades I referred to. I'm sure trader666 has done this and has this info archived. As trader 666 points out I have used his representation to show what NTRS (a S%P...

lol... I don't think so. Your opinion that I am stubborn is also humorous.

What you posted has three parts (thoughts). Your view of things in each part is clear. Apparently I am less fortunate than you are at applying logic to a problem. Fine with me.

Go for it. keep up the good work.

Mentally, you are screwed up a little bit. You deal with opposites instead of logic. Your hypothetical does not have a logical outcome that will advance anyone's trading (psychologically speaking or just perfomance speaking). Let me say that again. By doing a failing oriented exercise...

Would I do anything illegal? Think about it for a moment. And think about why anyone would want to do any illegal trading. Do you have any objectives that could be carried out better by trading illegally?My objective is to have as many people trading as possible. As they trade they...

Here is a small clarification. Category 1. We seek out. Categories 2 and 3 We are sought. Your post in IR was the kind we like to have occasionally as I stated. We don't look for you but you find IR as a place to comment for your reasons. I put those reasons at the top of my PM to you...

Just to help you out. I brought up NTRS simply because it is a good past example of PVT trading. what makes it a good example for me and not for you is that it became a tenured stock for a lot of people over the last few years. They, as I do, have an objective of making money with a...

The stocks being posted by trader666 are not suitable for PVT trading. He doesn't feel PVT trading works compared to his profitable method of trading. Our difference of view is may be based on something. were I to make a comparison, I would use the compound interest formula and a year of...

Thank you for posting the chart. It is better for me to mark up a chart you provide than for me to dig up a chart you can and will object to. Here is your chart annotated to point out the two three day runs of NTRS which fell short of 30% moves; 0one was the usual 10% and the other was only...

And every third guy has a waste basket at screen level on the iasle for pink up. See any printers??? lol

Yes. The one click universe we use has many FA facets. Think in terms of an outfit like SAC but use FA/TA instead of "buying" the FA information to get timing. So you see that the Universe is critically described by rules and coding to get a homogenous slice of the whole nine yards...

Jem has correctly posted that during the time periods he references several (we both used 4 it turns out) feeds were required. Among the four feeds some are fairly fast and some are fairly slow ones. Logially the slow ones are used for coarse and others are used for medium and fine. I...
