List of April 25 trades.

I didn't trade on Friday. Today I had a number of technical difficulties with the automation of my stops. I tested them extensively on Friday and found today that my broker is having trouble processing MKT orders to ARCA. I ended up with allot of slippage due to the fact that I had to exit...

Attached are my trades listed in excel (imported from my brokers trading platform) Hope it can be interpreted on your side.

Here is a chart of the day's trades. EBAY dropped like a rock today off the open. I guess the institutions decided earning aren't looking up to scratch. At any rate I had to wait for the A- Down to time confirm my short bias, I then missed entry on the first significant bounce of the day...

April 20th trades as listed by my broker are attached.

Hey folks, here are today's trades (April 20th) I made 4 trades in the morning. 3 winners and 1 loser. I executed my entry and stop criteria systematically, however, I am not satisfied with my exits. (a pattern in my trading is emerging already). According to my system I should have...

Stick around Backman. I'd love to chat with you at some point in the future. I've been quite curious about that new functionality of FA and haven't spoken to anyone that has actually used it.

Backman that is an interesting idea. I'll certainly keep it in mind as my style evolves. I used to filter trade using First Alert. At some point in the future I may return to filter trading and at that point experimenting with the idea you've just mentioned might prove interesting and...

I'm not pretending I would have been short that entire move but certainly would have tried to catch some of it. I think you are referring to Fisher's number line indicator. I haven't used it yet. I try and take each day as it comes rather than going into the day with any preconceived...

When I convert the html file of my trades into txt. format so that it can be posted the columns get jumbled. To summarize; I had one loser of $22.00 and 4 winners totalling $72.00. Net gain is $52.00

It seems I can't attach multiple files to a singe post. So here is a second post simply to attach today's trades as listed by my broker.

Attached is a chart of today's trades and a file detailing the actual trades. I missed most of the days down move due to technical problems with my broker. INCA was changed to ISLD and the traders were not formally notified. Hence I missed several entry points before I realised what was...

I currently day trade EBAY using Mark Fisher's ACD opening range breakout method (refer to end of this note for ACD details). I will post my trades at the end of each day. I will also post a 1 minute chart noting entry and exit points. The rules of my system are as follows: System Rules...

you've mis undertood several point in my last post. I never said ATR had anything to do with a chart pattern. I was only trying to point out that two people may use different names for the same thing. Read it again, I think I made myself pretty clear. Nor did I say ATR was a filter...

My apologies for not knowing what an ATR is Bill. I feel especially sorry given the arrogant and presumptuous nature of your reply to a simple and humble question. Apparently Ed Seykota is a role model to you. Well have you ever noticed that on Ed’s Trading Tribe FAQ's one thing he never...

.....what is 2*ATR? I understand it is a moving indicator that bill is using to derive his trailing stop point. But I have no idea what ATR stands for or why he would be using a multiple of 2. Thanx to anyone who can clarify. My second question for Bill is since you are influenced by...

I think the QQQ's are a difficult trade also. Frankly, I think all indexes are a difficult trade. I haven't been able to make money on them consistently. Every so often you get a high probabilty set up (like the gap up this past Friday). When you've traded the thing long enough those set...

I didn't get past the dick measuring bit of your reply. I just don't have the time or inclination. Best of luck to ya!

the ES quotes from Echo pro (sterling) are right on point and rock solid. I have no complaints.

Mr. Plumber, I hope we can reach an understanding here. 1) Every stock trader I know uses the the ES as a leading indicator when they are trading NYSE stocks. When the ES sell off heavily, stocks tend to downtick. That is why we call it a leading indicator. But since you trade "ONLY"...
