  1. i can tell... i kinda suffered a lot from the very same condition... 1. define it in details. pride and greed/practicality... greed is why you trigger too early - why should u give up few ticks, you know u r always right pride makes you hold on the losing trade saying - you cant be wrong, it is just a chop. 2. tell urself - i dont want a trouble sitting through the chop. markets arent bound to move my ways they can turn on a blink of an eye. i want to jump in when market made a decision and the move is imminent, i am ok to pay couple of ticks for comfort and dry shirt it works. i now can slip once in a while and jump earlier than i really wanted but if it starts to chop i am immediately get alerted and am looking to exit with 1tick profit or breakeven and then to enter again as i had to not as my ego/greed tells me.. in short - name the root of the problem and extract it methodically.
  2. you have to understand that what you are saying: i am tired of working hard on my own strategies, making few bobs here as there. although i dont believe in miracles, but i am hoping for one. please tell me this is possible - invest a 100 buck and get rich next day. never work again. please please here my response - yes it is possible, go for it! see i am very humanistic
  3. when I was attending nursery we usually did MA trading with macaroni and cheese on the floor while nurse was away. I too had fair degree of success in MA crossover trading ... Thought you all would like to know that.
  4. yes you nailed it. I have strong selective vision, I am alergic to bs and also an arrogant SoB :helloooo:

    what has changed? what do you think now? both are useless? spare me few tries and errors I'll buy you a beer no I simply plotted CVD with B/A and U/D ticks for couple of weeks.. and I couldnt trade ticks.. just makes no sense.. I talked about Fulcrum CVD all the way.. I dont care about other "studies". IMHO - All studies are crap if they can be found publicly :rofl:
  6. If he could walk away he would.. but then why is he asking? buy yourself a trained monkey. when the chimp see -$5000 anywhere on the screen he beats you bad so you have to run away for day or two I am sure you will find this expense very worth to make.
  7. or finally get yourself Windows 7 and forget all this BS. I dont use antivirus for about 6 years and had 2 or 3 minor trojans sniked through the dodgy website in those 6 years. But I used Vista and W7 all the time. Dont make your life more difficult than it is already
  8. yay! finally Kiwi agreed with me on something!
  9. TTM, all this discussion - is it real account trading or paper account? and for how long are you doing this?
  10. eh? what market makers? ah! you mean those secret services who hold UFO in Nevada in secrecy, the fake US moon landing austronauts, the globalists pigs, the mormons, the mason lodges, the dirty rich bankers, the hippy neighbours, the loud music playing greaseheaded teens, the prostitutes, the asylum seekers, the islamists, the communists, the pink floyd, the microsoft..... I hear you brother! they are everywhere! they around you... if you look close enough you will see they are already inside you! there is no escape! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
  11. Oleg, besides the question about the name... what is it exactly you wanted to talk? And I have question too - have you tested this approach? Does it work for you? What markets, time-frames? Why I am asking - the value of the system is not what other "traders" say but how much money it brought before you finally shut it down.

    from my personal use of CVD - B/A has 25% efficience (which is high) and up/dn tick = 00000000... which for me doesnt mean up/dn tick 25% less efficient for me that mean - useless P.S. I use very few indicators (2-3 at a time). so may be I am not the one to argue on this :helloooo:
  13. No. You learn that way. And I dont. But the argument was - drawing and reading about bicycles, learning how to fix them and names of the part but never riding them.... that is correct analogue to paper trading vs live trading...... this is how I see it.
  14. nah.. this is another spreadbetting/forex/bucket shop/etc victim.. he is saying - once you showed the money the ugly criminals who call themselves a broker will crawl out of the shadows and take it all! (this is not how do I think - I am trying to interpret ) :haha:
  15. you want a broker without dealing desk. here is the list: ECN brokers list | ECN/STP Forex brokers
  16. Reuters data if sold will be breach of the contract. What you are asking is for someone to steal from his employer.. What kind of initiation needed to be such a prick?
  17. You can read his lips: "Why did I click that red button?! WTF! What does Sell mean?! I have very bad feeling about this -25K figure on the screen!! Whatever it is Don Antonio is not going to like it! OMFG!! I have to fly to Siberia and hide amongst the white bears!! No more pizza for little Giovanni!... Why I ever click wrong buttons! " the other version: "I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight! I will never hold my position overnight!"
  18. the problem is that pulling similar threads from the big clue doesnt really help to make it neat because markets are not analogue. between trades there are no time no space no nothing as some would say acceleration on discretional process then will be bunch of differential equations with d2x/dt which has no precise solution.. you are 10000000000000001st who tries to apply elementary school knowledge on markets... good luck p.s. ask Urma - he is an old far... erm ... quant here.. p.p.s. every time I log in to this forum I remember urma. and almost always I remember next to it - the character from Little Britain - Daffyd - the only gay in the village. then I have very happy few minutes laughing... "only" is the keyword.. thank you old clown.

    OK. I thought you havent done... because cum delta up/dn ticks makes no sense whatsoever. while cvd on bid/ask volume makes sense most of the time... i tried it for iqfeed and barchart.... perhaps your experience varies... good for you!
  20. I hate programming debates. but just to let you know - it works. in large real-time projects like trading platforms for real banks. ninja is not that bad either. if you try and make same application as Ninja using C++ you will need x2 time and x4 money for high level C++ devs and the interface will be ugly and every upgrade/fix will cost you x4... Also there are much less really skilled C++ people on the market who can do the job. so your chances to hire morons skilled in taking through the interview process is very high. so basically C++ project like this would never happen because it will collapse in the middle. HTH
  21. I beg to differ. but what do I know
  22. I doubt you can negotiate anything with IB. they are like a great wall of china. why do you need them anyway? :helloooo:
  23. the worst case scenario is a newbie trading eminis holding his position overnight.
  24. Because day trading is a performace related activity (see Brett Steenbarger for what it means). And hoping that you will prepare only using paper account is same as drawing bycicles instead of riding one.
