    Nice job TradeStation!

    In answer to your question, Tradestation used to be the defacto standard for traders. It was the first viable backtesting and trading platform (just my opinion). At one point all the traders in my office used it, then unfortunately the quality of the product/service declined. In my old...

    Nice job TradeStation!

    Just for the record, I had a small group of folks watching me trade today, and about 5 of them are Tradestation clients. Today they all experienced significant connection problems and I think all of them were essentially stranded with orders executed, not able to determine the status of...

    Indriomas A stationary time series is one whose statistical properties remain constant over time. What I do with intraday data is export it into Excel and use simple mathematical transformations to make the data either stationary or approximately stationary. Once you do that it is...

    In answer to your question...no I am not going to start a thread on data analysis. I have a research project of my own that I have to complete and that for me is first priority.. If I have time at a later date I may start a thread on that subject. If you want to obtain more information on...

    Hello Shel I will answer your PM question about "singles" here so that others can get that info too (if they are interested) Singles are simply "tpo's" or "time/price opportunities". They represent a single data point or "print" on a market profile chart. This happens when price moves from...

    There you go "kin" I admire a quick wit as much as anyone, but this isn't witty, and I don't think many others admire this kind of commentary Basically he's an asshole looking for a place to keep on being an asshole.... Personally I am for keeping on with what we are doing. We just let...

    My interest in what goes on at ET is very minimal What I think doesn't matter to the site owner, nor should it. If he wants to let Trader28 control the site....its his business. or perhaps we should say, its his business unless trader28 wants to take it over.... Interesting though...

    Ideas for struggling traders

    I don't see anything else I can say except to encourage struggling traders to keep on with it. This business offers several challenges, one is finding a way to see the markets that suits your temperment. The next is learning to control risk..and finally at least in my opinion, learning to...

    Ideas for struggling traders

    and finally for people who prefer standard 5 minute candles or bars. Although we cannot see the Asian and European open in this chart we do see the nice test of the 200 and POC, the failure and the obvious (for me anyway) entry point. If you took this one, you had 3 ticks heat on the...

    Here is the same data using a 10,000V chart Again you can see the lower highs as Asia and Europe react to the previous US session data, and their own market news. The US open is a gift...Nice test of the 200 and POC (again) and the obvious entry.

    Ideas for struggling traders

    Here is the follow up on the previous post using the 2401V chart we can see both the Asian open and the European open, then the lower highs that formed prior to the open of the US market On the open of the US market, price tests the 200 period EMA and the previous session's POC and fails...

    Here is the Globex so far this evening You can see that Asia did little to affect the Globex market this evening But when DAX (Germany) opened, they had quite an affect on the ES contract First, the ES "drove" up to test the previous session's POC (point of control)....they failed to...

    I think we all face our limitations in our own way.... For me it is easy to motivate myself to go for whatever I want. For you (or for anyone else for that matter) it may be more difficult to find that motivation.... I do what I can...and I do the best I can...that is all I can do...

    Shel Thanks for the kind words For a beginner, I suggest using RTHs. For those on the East Coast that would be 9:30 am to 4:15 pm. I trade index futures so those are my hours. If you trade another market adjust accordingly. Although I haven't mentioned it before I also keep MP charts of...

    Are there indicators that help spot breakouts?

    There are a number of ways to spot breakouts. One of the easiest for retail traders is the "retest". I show a number of examples over at my thread "Ideas for Struggling Traders". Briefly when price takes out a specific price point, it sometimes returns to retest that point. When it retests...
