Its an open forum. You dont like the answers, take it to PM's.

I play an online game called World of Warcraft with millions of players (6mil to be exact). In that game, I do know for a fact that there are 12 year olds that play. Yet, when I read their forums, its amazing how closely it resembles the forums here on ET. I guess some of us just...

The question should be how much are you willing to lose before you stop and re-examine your choice of career.

Thank you for this thread. I have been holding off on giving IQFeed a try, but now that Esignal has obviously avoided the issue about data lag and try to pull a fast one by talking about new features in the upcoming version. Been with Esignal for so many years, can't believe it has come...

I am kinda curious about your Stop Loss actually. How much before you admit you are wrong? Is it $ based, pattern based or a combination of somethig else? Nice profits btw.

Thanks for the clarification Bolter. I was wondering if you used the 2nd value area, as I did manage to see a double distribution day. That answered my question. Great thread. Learning tons.

Bolter, I wouldn't mind looking at your MP chart as well. I am sure we will be different regardless of how we do the settings, but my ES levels are quite a bit lower then yours from Friday. Mine is at the bottom of the range with UVA 1266.25 POC 1262.25 LVA 1258.25 The past times you...

Bolter, Yea, I just ran back and checked out your volume chart. Another question, where do you get the volume data per price level from? Do you export that info out of esignal or something? I use esignal as well, found the volume/price chart, but doesnt actually tell you the #'s.

Bolter, Where does your S/R levels come from on your last chart of the ES. Are they pivot levels? or High/Low volume clusters or something else completely? Great journal. Been following it every day.

Bolter, Nice journal. I would love to know more about how you create your excel charts, as its something I can see value in recording prices manually to get a feel of things. Keep up the good work. Too few MP journals around.

This is a fantastic thread Spy and I believe it really helps equities traders of all levels. I personally only trade Futures but do read your thread, cause its of great quality. Keep up the good work.

Anyone from North of Toronto, like Peterborough or have lived there ? Was looking to move out that way and wouldn't mind talking to someone who knows the area to get some unbiased info. I find the realtors a bit too happy :D

Thats really a hard question. I am opposed to the blackbox systems that you see on infomercials or wild claims on websites / magazines. That being said I think that if you can find someone to teach you a methodology that isn't insanely expensive, then go for it. But before you do that, I...

Yep, lagging by 1/2 point so far. This sucks. :mad:

Thats interesting with the IB data, since I am an IB customer. What happens if you dont log onto IB for a couple of days ? Where do you get the data from ? I trade off of tick charts. Thanks, Dan S.

I am lagging on Esignal by a full point as compared to IB TWS.

I agree AA, The stops has to fit in context to the timeframe one is trading. A tight stop on a larger timeframe may not make sense, vice versa if you are trading on a smaller timeframe. I am in for the long haul, therefore, protection of capital is very important to me.

I use very small stops, so small people call me crazy. But its because I took a look at the timeframe I am trading and the ideal entry my system gives me. Then I look at rougly how many points would prove me wrong. I trade emini's and sometimes when I enter, I get exited like 2secs later...

3:1 is what is recommended by most people and books, but its usually in context to higher TF trading, such as swing trading and much longer term daytrading. If you are scalping, things happen very fast and change direction for no rhyme or reason. I shoot for a 2:1 on the ES, but I scalp. The...
