    Renko Charting

    Does anyone use Renko charting, and would they be able to recommend a good resource for using this type of chart? I understand that each block is worth a certain value, and that it takes a multiple of that value to reverse the color of the brick (much like changing from x's to o's in Point...

    What would you do?

    Gratitude, I am in a similar situation as you. I have a passion for trading, but I didn't figure this out until much later in life. Even though I work in the industry my role does not provide a great deal of spare time to trade during the day. So here are some things that I am doing to...

    Does anyone have a resource for Forex P&F charting. I trade through FXCM, they don't have anything. I also subscribe to Esignal, but it seems that the box size and reversal can not be adjusted. Thank you in advance.

    Lawsuit against Wizetrade

    What a mouth on you....... I bet your parents are real proud. The truth hurts, that's why you are pissed off. It would still be a waste of your time, and everyone elses. No trading system is an ATM machine. No trading system is perfect. Wizetrade is supposed to be a trend recognition system...

    Lawsuit against Wizetrade

    Dear Sir, Don’t waste your time or money with a lawsuit against Wizetrade/Globaltec solutions/Dynetech Corporation. Your attorney will take more money from you than Wizetrade would ever have lost you in the market. I am assuming you purchased the software, and have placed a couple of...

You are selling yourself, and you have to be able to translate skills aquired through your trading experience into skills that would be utilized in the position for which you are applying. For instance, developing business plans (trading...

    What do you think of the CMT (Chartered Market Technician) certification?

    If you mention CMT, even to someone in the industry, generally you will see a puzzled look on their face. The biggest reason for this is because of the lack of awareness of what Technical Analysis is. Most feel that it is a form of voodoo, however if you boil down technical Analysis to its...

    CMT books worth reading?

    Currently I am enrolled in the CMT program, and have passed level one, taking level two this fall. My opinion of the books is biased seeing as how I am an affiliate of the MTA, but I will try and be as unbiased as possible. Level one books, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets and...

    are deep in/out hard to trade

    My question to you 0008 would be what do you want out of trading deep ITM/OTM options? As the other replies mentioned you can do this, however you would be subject to the spread. Depending on the underlying the spreads can be rather large(.15-.20) in deep ITM, and although relatively...

    Newbie question for TASR options

    One key thing that you will want to keep in mind, especially if you are just buying the calls or puts, is that TASR's options have an extremely high implied volatility(around 112) and if it returns to its norms(around 80) you can still have a loosing position on it even if the stock moves in...

    Actual Volatility of an Option

    It would be wonderful to find such a tool, however with the short life span of options, and all of the various expirations and strikes I think it would be hard to find such a tool. Keep in mind though that historic volatility is simply a standard deviation calculation, so if you wanted to you...

    Simulation software or website

    Zepplin, have you tried doing a search on yahoo or google? There are a number of sites, you just need to be aware that some require opening an account. The reason I mentioned optionxpress earlier was because they have a low minimum to open an account, and there are no inactivity fees. Their...

    Simulation software or website

    I would have to agree with 0008 in regards to simulation trading, it is never the real deal. However I have found that optionsxpress offers one of the closest things to the real deal for options and equity paper trading. They have a lower account requirement to open, and a straight forward...
