You definitely should learn how to trade oscillators if you are day trading/scalping. My favorite are the MACD, Stochastic, William's %R, and RSI. Those are the most popular as well. A tricky thing to learn but very crucial is being able to see hidden divergence in the oscillator. Look up...

Well I don't necessarily think that's true. For everyday market watching it doesn't matter too much but I'm trying to test a hypothesis of mine, in which knowing the change of market caps of indexes day to day is crucial.

Thanks xandman. Where would I get this information? Are you talking about the % daily change of the index itself?

Is there an easy way to get the market cap of multiple indexes? Obviously, if I wanted the S&P 500 market cap I would just have to sum up the 500 companies that make up the index. But is there an easier way I can see the daily change of the market cap? I'm interested in watching multiple...

What a courageous and selfless act. Hope you and your family are doing okay, just remember that William will always be remembered by his heroic deeds. I can truthfully say that not many would so willingly sacrifice themselves for others that they had no personal relationship too.

I was wondering if there is a way or provider that could give me volume for each specific price traded that day. Let's say a stock has a total of 50 people buying that day, with 20 people buying at $1, 5 people buying at $1.01, 10 buying at $0.99 and 15 buying at $1.005. Obviously, an...

Glad to hear. Lets hope HK exchange remains stable, a lot of worrying news coming out from China.

Yes you can, you just need a broker that will let you

Thanks elite I appreciate all your help. I was checking out TC2000, looked very solid. However, I'm an engineering student currently and just don't have any extra cash to spare (markets suppose to make me the cash haha). However, I did find a free program called JStock. Ever heard of it?

While I do think a correction is in order, I don't think it will be for several months at least, unless the Russia situation gets much worse. My reasoning for this is that like everyone knows, the market preforms as well as everyone believes its going to preform well. Like you said, everyone...

Thanks for the reply, I might check it out. Not sure if I totally want to switch brokers though. This trading strategy doesn't only apply to futures, it applies to equities too right?

I've always understood the spikes, but what I've never been able to find out is how to spot them real time. Is there any free program that can scan stocks and tell me when there is a big spike decreasing a stocks value? Or is there any way to find these stocks?

Haha yea I was totally cracking up that Pimp was the song used. Honestly made me laugh. I checked the guys profile before I posted this, he hasn't been active since 2008.

This was the original post, "Some time ago there was a computer which would "switch on" for a short time, once or twice a day. This made our boys a lot of easy money. What's funny about it, our guys would watch videos or play games all day until the computer would switch on and then they...

It was posted on this forum haha. It didn't seem so much as a hack, as much as a loophole/glitch they were able to utilize through trading.

I have a couple questions, I saw in one of the threads I was looking through a guy saying that he would make money off of a computer trick when the computer would "switch on" once or twice a day. First question is, what does he mean by this computer "switched on"? Second, how did he make money...
