bobcathy good luck to you both. i also trade with a bias going into the day. need a good stoploss though cuz you never know what curve ball the market will throw at ya. i looked at your homepage, here's waving to a fellow orchids lover. i wish i lived in florida ;) jmi

Yannis, all great points. believe it or not, i know a few ppl get into medical school cuz "doctors make tons of money, just graduate, open an office and you're set" ;) ppl get into trading because it has (seemingly) low start-up cost, (seemingly) takes the least time, and (seemingly) makes a...

gg, i'm saying this b/c i know you've been struggling as a trader, you might do well now, good for you. but regardless of market direction, are you making money out of it? are you earning a living? concentrating on trading well rather than going on these ego trips trying to call market...

enkidu let's step back and think about this for a minute. you're asking if there's a mechanical system, an advisory service that would make you money consistently, right? IF there's such a system, why would anyone in their right mind would let you in on it? ;) the reason mohan or other...

how do i sync my computer clock with tws clock? it's currently about 3 minutes faster. thanks

by any chance you have sierra chart connecting to that tws? i have 2 tws open and only the one feeding sierra blank out, sometimes it comes back by itself, most of the time i have to close that tws, reopen it then everything works again. this is only happening this last week or so though...

af everybody is waiting for 2:15pm i think. be careful.

dbphoenix, i agree with most of your points above, except that macd hist is not an oscillator in my understading. an osc should be oscillating ..eheh.. between 2 constant values, like stos swing back and forth between 0 and 100, cci between -200 to 200, etc... macd hist was fluctuating because...

spyglass sorry to hear. but tomorrow is another day. jmi

thank you all. that was the drop, i feel so doh :). i checked cnn time to time, but all i saw today was the big disfigured face of michael jackson. scare me. jmi

anyone know why the sudden drop a few minutes before open this am? this is a day to remember for me, new high and new low within 2 hours time, oy... jmi

i think it's questions like these that fail a trader. a lot of people are attracted to the market because of it unlimited earning potential. the keyword is potential. how much you earn is up to how skilled you are as a trader, and how comfortable you are to trade for a living. what does it...

can you open .mnd files collected from sierra chart in quotetraker? is there anyway those .mnd files can be imported into excel? thanks :)

good morning for me, but believe me it's rare. just want to show how i drew all those lines in before the day. hope i know how to attach a chart

yes it's just another tool ;). many roads lead to rome, find yours and enjoy the journey. dbphoenix, thx for your suggestions. i like reversal trades. i also like to have my head handed to me on a gold plate on strong trend days ;). any suggestion on how to trade the afternoon? i mostly...

since there's so much debate about pivot pts lately, i'm going to post my numbers here for you guys to compare. i use funky's formula (kinda like all the midpts ;) ), and i use high/low/close # of the day, no overnight #. i calculate these daily anyway, mostly as references, and i find them to...

dbphoenix, thanks. i didn't mean having a mentor as in trading someone else's system at all. i meant to be able to pick that person's brain, understand the thought process, subtle things that you see but inexpressible, ya know what i mean? :) trading successfully is something you have...

times like this i wish i had a mentor, or just get to sit next to acracy, or funky, or dbphoenix ;) and see how they make the trade. funky, i'm very glad you've found something that works for you. i'm just muddling thru. dbphoenix, day like this is like going to the atm for you? ;) omg

thanks larry & DblArrow. what charting package do you use? and what are the active hours of zn/zb trading? same as pit? no matter what, i'm always glad to hear another trader doing well ;)) dlbarrow, i seem to remember you scalped the es or nq before, does that style transfer well to zn...

how do you calc pivots point for zn/zb since they're trading from 8pm to 4pm the next day? if you guys don't mind, may i ask what are the general methods, timelines to trade these instruments? thanks
