what's a "tn panel"?

Lol...You'll notice that I'd edited out that question moments, apparently, before you answered it, as I realized that this, indeed, would be the case. Cheers.

Ah, thank you!

I'm having trouble following this, would you care to elaborate? You're saying....if there's been heavy selling pressure, then you don't want to re-short on a retrace?

Oy. this is fascinating, once again exposing my seemingly bottomless well of ignorance. Ok... 1) Pardon my French but, shit, premium decay. I forgot all about that, having relegated it to the nether world of options 2) Are you saying you established long-term (and medium term, for that...

Thanks. As for volume info, which SPX lacks...could one use SPYs instead?

Obviously, the continuous contracts are designed for bigger-picture charting, among other things, but I'm under the impression that such synthetic constructs take second place, for this purpose, to the charts of the cash indexes. So here's my question. Is it better to derive...

I'm not a conspiracy theorist and, frankly, I'm not sure I believe that what I'm suggesting as a possibility is even possible, but.... I'm beginning to wonder whether the FIFO rules are followed to the "t" when it comes to ES. I don't have any evidence to back this up. I base it only on...

From what you're saying, it sounds like I've made the right choice (the right choice, that is, for me) by going with MultiCharts. I find its "UI" smooth and stress-free. If it's slower than something with which I'm not familiar (AB), it's faster than something I know all-too-well...

LoL! Right, of course! Ok, well, you've clearly done your homework, and I can only compare MultiCharts to TradeStation. I just checked out the AmiBroker website, seems like a terrific offering. Thing is, I've worked hard to develop fluency in EasyLanguage, now to go ahead and learn yet...

Sporadically stopping and starting? Jittery? Could be my internet connection...just wondering. Thnx

newbie lesson #3049245-d: don't let yourself get thrown by message board chatter.

newbie question here: why does everyone seem so certain that this will clear overhead in the 1518-19 area? not saying everyone is wrong....just not clear on the source of the seeming unanimity... thanks

yes, YES i agree completely with everything you say, but here's the thing that's MAKING ME NUTS.... Sure, the trick is to understand WHO is watching longer term ma's...but now i'm wondering, are we looking at the same mas? i mean, the 50 d sma is supposed to be a kind of benchmark. And...

Yes, but here's what I find so freakin' disturbing.... I went long at 1513, based on two things.... 1) strength metrics I've homebrewed, which made their appearances at... 2) what I thought (erroneously) was the 50 sma. Now, obviously, the trade is working rather nicely. But what...

Yes, but here's what I find so freakin' disturbing.... I went long at 1513, based on two things.... 1) strength metrics I've homebrewed, which made their appearances at... 2) what I thought (erroneously) was the 50 sma. Now, obviously, the trade is working rather nicely. But what...

This is really interesting, though.... we now have three different values for the same metric on the same instrument. give this fact, do such metrics have any meaning at all... i mean, the 50 sma is of value as s/r resistance only insofar as everyone agrees on what it is. am i right...

Sorry, I'm not following...if I put the 50 sma on $spx.x (the tradetstation symbol for the cash index), I get 1492.99. Not clear on how to extrapolate this to the ES, short of the ol' eyeball method. Thanks for anyone's help with this....

That's quite a variance. Does anyone have any explanation?

also, using the sept contract, esu07, i show 1514.51 as the value for the 50 day sma
