How about any free (or inexpensive) charting software that will allow .ELD's? Flyingdutchmen suggested tradesignalonline.com, but I could not see a way to import ELD's.

Surely there is a way to bypass the login?

Multicharts looked to be $66/month for the cheapest plan, I was looking for free.... Perhaps someway to work with TradeStation offline, and editing/download the data files?

I was a TradeStation customer but closed my account. I had some software I purchased for use with TradeStation that I would like to use with end-of-day data. Is it possible to access the TradeStation app and charts without an account?

After a strong trend, I like to see a stochastic divergence or big candle in the opposite direction before entering on what appears to be a reversal. And then keep a tight trailing stop.

I use it on a 512 tick chart, with the countertrend set to "true" and it works pretty well. In a strong trend, however best not to take the first opposing signal (i.e. long signal in a strong downtrend). Best to wait for the second or even third opposing signal. But all in all, I'm satisfied.

I am still using the Squeeze and do recommend it. I have not tried any of Paint bar Factory's other indicators so cannot comment on those.

Chinapassage, it appears that the charts are deleted after a certain time.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 0951 Short 1 ES 1378.25 @ 510T resistance. Stopped out -0.5 0955 Long 1 ES 1378 @ green candle up, stop hit 1379 -1. 0957 Long 1 ES 1378.75 at green candle and pullback. -1. 1001 Short 1 ES 1377.25 @ 510T cross. -0.5 1012 Long 1 ES 1376.50 @ green candle...

Monday, April 21, 2008 Only a couple of trades today, as I'm still working on a viable trading strategy and doing some simulations, backtesting, etc. A chart is attached. 1427 Short 1 ES 1384.50 @ 510T resistance. Stopped out five minutes later on big bar up for -1 point. 1440 Long 1 ES...

Monday, April 14, 2008 (I'm late getting this up, sorry) A series of bad trades.... down -11.25 pts on the ES. Only 2 out of 16 trades were profitable, and for a small amount at that. I'm trying to sort out an EasyLanguage trading strategy that will let me trade more mechanically. Or...

Friday, April 11, 2008 Had a bad trading day up until about 3:00pm, when the last couple of trades pulled my day into the green for a very (very) small profit. At market open the ES were about -14 points below the 5min 18MA. So I was looking for a long trigger for a pullback to the MA...

Thursday, April 10, 2008 After last weeks loss I took a few days off to regroup. Did some light trading today, but with the treasury budget announcement scheduled at 2pm (and trading really thin right now) I'm calling it a day with a very small profit. 0936 Long 2 ES 1357 @ 510T support...

Pivotas, I sent you a PM with my email address. Although it is difficult to read, I've attached a chart showing Thursday's trades. One thing I noticed is the short entry made on your chart at 12:36pm... at the time the 510 tick 18MA was uptrending, so per my plan the trade would not have...

Thursday, April 3, 2008 I'm late getting this entry posted. I had a miserable trading day on Thursday, with a loss of around -11 points on the ES. Needless to say, this wiped out several days of profit and left me in a pretty depressed mood. The only "upside" is that my paper-trading...

Thanks again Pivotas, I'll paper trade both my system and one with the wider stops over 2-3 days and post the results in this journal.

Pivotas, thanks for the example chart and I understand what you're saying with regards to entry points. Part of the reasoning for my tight stops is money management. a 1.25 point stop-loss is a -$125 loss on two contracts, which is what my trading plan calls for. On a winning trade, I pare...

Pivotas, Thank you for your comments and suggestions. You advice on watching the relationship between the cyan and magenta moving average lines is a very good one, as it is easy to "anticipate" a long or short and make an entry before an actual trigger. My stop loss per my trading plan is...

I forgot to mention in my last post a couple of things: 1) The chart I posted shows the stochastic indicator. Normally I don't keep this on my chart as the PBF Squeeze indicator shows this also. But since most folks haven't purchased this indicator I removed the volume and added stochastics...

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 I had a frustrating trading session, even though there was a partial recovery at the end. It was a sad tale of missed entries, being stopped out repeatedly, watching a trend run away from me and one partial victory. At 0930 market open, the ES were about 5 points...
