Let's drum up some demand for Jasdaq listed stocks so that IB will make this available. Sick intraday volatility with a lot of these names, consistently some of the top domestic retail traded names like 4755 Rakuten.

It's late but I just got back from a trip and this thread caught my attention. I skimmed most of the posts and while it is hard to believe you have these offers, assuming you do I think the others are right in that you should take Goldman. You don't really sound sure about yourself and...

I am an American who is new to Vancouver. Will be here until the end of year. Looking to meet up with Vancouver-based traders to talk about trading or grab a beer or just hang out. Please send a PM if you are interested or any info regarding Vancouver get togethers.

While I do agree with some of your points about Jack, Babak, you seem to have misinterpreted intellectual thought and exploration. These are not the same as searching for some "special" logic and deeper meaning. Certainly, a puddle could inspire one to seek further meaning to it. Ever see the...

I will say this much about Jack. There is a general consensus that his posts are extremely hard to understand, and I do not disagree with this. Heck, I have already complained to him about this on occasion as have many of us. True, we do not have physical proof that Jack is a good...

I am also looking to the downside tomorrow (maybe that makes you want to change your mind and go long :eek: ) Are you short overnight? Talk about a trendline. Check out the ES earlier today. We held that resistance turned support the entire day but it didn't hold after RTH.

I see a lot of large lots going off on the ask (ES) while YM is at 10450, but is anyone else looking to short this level?

damn should have bought that open

S&P cash on 30 minute timeframe. Anchored from last Monday's opening, projected cycles shown in purple. I will try using the same settings for this upcoming Monday's open and see how the projection turns out vs. actual.

Looks like the world of cycles is much deeper than I expected. A quick search on the net of wavelets led me to this website: http://www.bearcave.com/misl/misl_tech/wavelets/haar.html (hope it's ok to post the link) So far I'm finding it a very good introductory site to wavelets and how...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I will post some intraday (5 min bars) cycle analysis and swing(30 min or 60 min or daily) cycle analysis when I get a chance. So far it seems most of you have not found cycles useful. I do not come from an engineering background so most likely I fail to see...

Thanks for your post. You are right, time intervals are not constant for PnF. I have seen something similar work well, hence my attempt to explore that area. Might I ask what type of analysis you did with cycles? Also, you concluded that cycles were unreliable. Do you know of traders who have...

I am new to cycles(time series analysis) and was inspired by an old poster who used them to accurately predict emini movements. Is anyone here using cycles to successfully time the ES & YM and if so please share your experiences. Here is a screenshot of some cycle analysis I tried(hope this...

What divergences did you see Rickshaw? I know Volente mentioned he uses 9/18 SMA, but I can't bring myself to rely on that in my decision process. In any case, I am with you on the sidelines(mostly).

Nice sticking to your trade. I was long 2 @ 95 and 1 @ 92 but didn't have the balls to stick around for much of the ride. Felt there was too much downside risk.

Today was a rough day. -125 on 7 trades. I was getting completely faked out by large lot activity. Any of you longer term traders have any views on upcoming direction? Seems like we could easily slip back into that 10400 - 10300 range again.

I do not have experience daytrading stocks. I started with index futures(ES & YM). While I am not yet consistently profitable, here is what I have found: I've had better success scalping the YM than the ES. Part of this might be the psychological effect of having $5 ticks instead of $12.50...

You can work your ass off in many professions and make good money. I don't know what kind of research you've done, but yes, given that you are currently working in IT at an Ibank, your skillset and scientific background would be well-suited to trading. That said, when you say you can be...

Cj, I definitely appreciate your grob translations. Particularly the one that explained bid/ask analysis. I do similar things, I have found use out of it and will continue to explore creative ways of analyzing that data. Babak, I am an advocate of using bid/ask volume analysis, and when I...

============================================= - I know this cannot be known until after we see which group just look at your screen where dom is or where one line on your trading platform has the Bests. There are four numbers, two prices and two volumes. - bids or offers size is...
