no, your answer is not a cop-out. i should have been more specific.
i have been focusing on intraday trading because of the assumed lower risk (and my small account size). what markets would you suggest are best suited for this?
talon;
i noticed that youve suggested not trading the es to start, and instead to trade stocks.
i currently only have a futures acct available. which (if any) contracts do you suggest i look into?
the more volatillity, the less size you should trade. on a regular trading day you should determine whether its with or against the trend on dif scales, and what type of trade signal it is and then trade accordingly.
does anyone know what the difference is between "studies in tape reading" written under the richard wyckoff name vs. the one under the rollo tape name?

taowave,
what other programs have you used for backtesting that you are comparing aimbroker to? have you used linnsoft, tradestation, neo ticker, etc.?
i noticed that when you expand the amount of time included in a chart it changes when the signal is triggered.
has anyone tried expanding their chart to include more time? from one day and an hr to two or three days? why does this happen, and which is really right?
there are people who make a very good living reading the tape, and there are those who suck at it. the opposite is true too. there are those that make a very good living using charts and there are those that suck at that too. the bottom line? do what you feel fits your personality better.
good luck
