lilboy--You can always get an Air Card or hire a proxy to go to your classes and take notes for you.

QCharts' data feed completely sucks. Unless you like having all data regarding the ES black out at 2:51 CST, never to appear again on your chart, pass on this software. Furthermore, their tech support is about as helpful as a fart in a spacesuit, so don't expect any assistance with your...

I'm no expert on the TRIN, but it seems that qcharts and quote.com are having some problems. According to them both the TRIN has reached 1,347.60 today. Is this something I have set wrong or is qcharts just f----ed up?

MYDemaray--Finished trading for today, and figured I'd revisit this thread to thank you. This past Tuesday was a complete xerox of the previous Tuesday, but this time I followed your advice. Sold 2 at 1137.75 with a stop at 1138.75 at 7:40ish. One I had a profit set at 2 points and the other...

Good advice. Today was really the first time I just threw a trade on without thinking it through and for reasons outside my methodology. I'll be looking for this scenario again as it seems very low risk-high reward. Part of the reason for starting this thread was to look for some angles on...

SethArb--I've read it and re-read it. Blew through the pivot range, which being as narrow as it was, foretold the wide range today. After it "sliced" through I put in a sell with a stop at the top of the opening range plus a quarter, almost stopped myself out but waited 10 minutes and caught a...

Thanks for help guys! I'll definitely be checking out those links. Appreciate it.:)

I think that is part of the reason I bailed on this one early... no real plan. I've seen the market jump in response to reports at 7:30 twice in a little over a week, and saw it again this morning. I had an R2 level at 1149.5 and just took a shot. Risked 1 point with an initial 3 point profit...

Anyone have any advice on letting winners ride? I know it's probably a psychological question and the answer has to come from "within," but this last one was tough to take. I sold the ES at 1149.75 around 7:30 am CST and got out with one frickin' point at 1148.75. I've since watched it move...

Can somebody tell me if that was just a bad tick at 4:00pm on the ES or did the price really jump from 1145.50 to 1156.50 and close that tick at 1147.50?

Reuters clock would be the real question. I got a screen capture of it and the time has since been changed on their homepage.

You didn't even have to pay for. It was on their free, public homepage for anyone to lucky enough to have hit their site between 8:28 and 8:29:59. How many people will be checking Reuters immediately before the next report comes out?:p As if they're gonna let that happen again. This...

I understood your point. But it wasn't just commentary posted early, it was exact figures and analysis of those figures. And they were posted two minutes ahead of time. I'm just sayin'. I'm not surprised, just observing what happened.

So a Reuters reporter wrote an article detailing the exact number beforehand and simply hit the button early? No freakin' way!

Avalanche--That was one of the questions I've had about the whole methodology, whether it could be automated. I watched the seminars from NYMEX and it seems the system is largely discretionary. While the method is very clear as far as stops, the entry point seems to be largely up to the...

gotta trade--I am pretty much a blank canvass when it comes to trading. I really do believe that far from being easy money, it is a skill that must be developed, just like anything else. For me the ACD method just struck me as making more sense than anything I've read to this point. Everyone...

Greetings everyone. I just began trading the ES and am looking for any tips, advice, etc. anyone is willing to offer. I've spent months reading trading books and going blind watching charts, and have been actually trading for about a month now. So far the most helpful...
