    Can this be automated?

    What if I wanted to define bar charts, plain bar charts? For example short on a Doji type bar or long on outside bar or something? How would I go about getting the logic from the chart into something that fires out an order and a stop? Also how would I control things if two orders went...

    Need a Direction

    I would like to experiment with candle shape detection in automation. I have a few newbie questions: 1. Can an automated system be created with end user tools that can detect and initiate a trade based on a candle shape such as a doji bar? 2. If so what are the options as far as...

    Looking for investors

    The account is more than funded for the level I am looking at. Anytime you want to trade head to head let me know. I am fairly sure I will blow your point total out of the water.

    Looking for investors

    If you personally would walk away from a good job to try and trade for a living, good for you. The system is fantastic, it's the trader that makes it work. 80% is the trader. You don't start out making $1000 a day. Well, maybe you do all the time, you sound really sure of yourself.

    Looking for investors

    I have been trading on and off for a few years and have recently been sim trading a system I came up with. I am looking for a way to leave my job and begin slowly trading the account into something larger. I know there are plenty of crooks who scam investors in regards to trading, but I am the...

    why this board isn't healthy if you trade for a living

    Not honoring that stop is what does most traders in for sure. Thanks for a positive post. Too much negativity here.

    The Holy Grail continues to deliver

    If it is legal to call trades without revealing the systems internals, I could do that someday. But a few rules need to be met first. 1. I need to be trading live and consistent for quite a long while before I would suggest anyone do what I do. There is no scam about me, nor would I ever...

    The Holy Grail continues to deliver

    I have been blogging for a bit now and simutrading as much as possible at work. My system has been working good and I have been tweaking it using S&R concepts and market internals. I was blasted earlier for calling my blog the holy grail, but for me it has become just that. A way to...

    Market Profile chat rooms

    I have simulated with my system and done $1000 a day before, it can be done with 1 contract. I get a lot of signals though. eminiholygrailatblogspotdotcom No, I don't sell anything, reveal anything or have any nefarious reason to post my blog address. I am still in simu mode and I am...

    Only a complete moron would use Market Profile

    I concur. It is all about making sure your techniques are correct. For myself, I was looking for the posted reasons "why" it would not work so I could compare those to my own experiences. It is always good to check opposing views and see if they merit your attention. FEAR of losing trades is...

    What data for creating weekly MP numbers?

    I am looking for MP related levels to add to my entry system. I have a few questions though. I guess I am just looking for a consensus if one can be agreed upon. If I was to calculate weekly MP levels, do I want just the high and low for the week, or would I take the high and low for the...

    Learning Market Profile

    Took a look and I am more confused than before. I understand the concept, but I do not see how you get in a trade. Ok - lets say 813 shows me it was rejected in price and we move back up to 820 - so now I wait 3/4 of the day to see if we get back to 813 and hope it rejects again? How is...

    Norton could be datamining your computer

    There are many ways to get infected and it goes well beyond a porn site. SQL injections, drive by downloads, exploits, email, infected jpgs and the list is endless. You no longer have to click on anything to get infected.

    If you Trade, you need to do this asap.

    Then for sure they cannot afford two computers:) Also - until recently... you would not find Mac parts in a pinch. Also, you can be limited on a mac as far as charting software and sometimes trading platforms. I wish the story was different, but the pc dominates the business and...

    I agree - but some may not even think of the idea of having two machines ready to go.

    Learning Market Profile

    For me this book was a tough read. The first 60% is deep examples of markets and how they work, but not "the" market. One I got to the meat, I was quickly lost. I hope to one day get a full undestanding of the profile charts and use them live during the day to make decisions. I know there...

    If you Trade, you need to do this asap.

    I work in the tech field, so I thought I would give some advice to those who decide to avoid the inevitable day when the pc dies in the middle of a trade. Some of this will be beyond the average Joe, but the more you can follow it the better off you will be. 1. Get a UPS power supply...

    Norton could be datamining your computer

    I will cover this in a main thread but here is what you do. You get a firewall product, like Sonicwall etc. You put their security software package on to that, like Total Secure. You learn how it works and how to configure it. Kill the malware at the incoming point, not once it's on your...

    Indicators are liars! Support and Resistance Trading for the S&P emini

    I agree with the emotional toll aspect. In your mind that first trade just "had to win". You closed it early, and that's ok, but your mind did win that one. I think that is where your multiple contract scale out helps by banking some profit and reducing the mental stress of the current...
