Thanks, I will start watching the tape more. Do you filter it out for larger contracts? Do you use DOM?

You could use two columns one for small contracts one for significant ones. I only use one.

No, I don't use the DOM.

That's a lot of reading :)

I feel most bases have been covered at this point but since you just started maybe it's easier for you to spot areas that need more explanations.

Either way, welcome aboard.

*TECH QUESTION*

Your opinion is appreciated.

I'm currently using Windows Vista and aside from multimedia and some gaming my only real applications are Firefox, Office and Tradestation.

Now, this Vista OS it's just slowing down my system, that's with state of the art hardware, whenever something faster/better comes out I always get it off Newegg. I think it's a vice now.

Anyway, I'm considering going back to XP Pro to get my speed back, there's really nothing in Vista I will miss, not even the Aero crapola.

Question for you tech savvy trader geeks out there is this....

Should I install XP 64 bit or regular XP Pro ?

I hear since Tradestation is still a 32bit application that I should just go with the regular XP Pro but still wanted to ask for second opinions.

Thank you for help as I plan to use Sunday to do the installation on all the workstations at "mission control".

I use both x64 and xp pro. For what we do x64 benefits are limited/minuscule.

Most if not all drivers need to be compatible with x64. This is a big pain in the ass, since a lot of vendors don't support x64 with older hardware.

You also can't upgrade x64 to vista... at least for now. Not to say I would for a couple years. :)

Keep it simple, stick with regular xp pro, I wish I had.

Go back to XP PRO, Vista is nothing more than an a pc hog for beauty, let alone many other software updates have not accomadated for that hog.

Couple of years ago I taught a close friend of mine how I trade and illustrated to him the AHG methodology.

Long story short he has been at it ever since and eventually found out about this journal via another friend. He now uses it the very same principle to trade Forex with very good success.

Here is a copy of his email, some of you might find it useful.

I read your journal in the ET forums. Lots of props for maintaining your cool in that place, I always thought of it as Jurassic Park after the beasts escaped.

Sadly, the great majority of them will not put enough effort into it or the discipline monster will derail them after something unexpected happens. Nevertheless, I'm sure it won't be in vain and a few will actually get how this can change their life. The very same way you changed mine.

Perhaps the highs and lows is a bit complicated for them. Why not just tell them to use Trendlines ? You know that's how I do it. Less precise but less confusing and works as well.

Feel free to post this in the jungle, say it's from Tarzan!"

There you go guys, use trendlines instead if it's easier to spot the trend.

Anek,

and everyone else who has contributed - thank you! I just read through this entire thread. YES, every single page! It took me a few hours last night and a couple this morning.

I a complete noob to the concept of using trend lines. Systems I've used in the past never dealt with them. Could someone point me in the direction of how to properly draw trend lines? I googled a few pages and I'm still a little confused on them.

1. Do you have to wait until you're in a trend to start drawing them?

2. If so, after spotting a swing high or swing low, you have to have another swing high or swing low to connect to correct?

3. Do you begin drawing trend lines the moment you see a swing high or swing low? Yes right? Because they are constantly changing creating different points of support/resistance throughout the day?

Sorry, I know this is a newbie question, thanks again for any help and thanks again for everyone who's contributed to this thread.
