    Hello,

     

    This is my first post

     

    I don't know how to write script and need alittle help

     

    I believe what a I want is real simple to a person who knows how to do it

     

    Basically on a 15 chart if I see 2 UP candles then a DOWN candle all in a row I want to be alerted when the 3rd candle closes

     

     

    Also want an alert for the reverse

     

    I use the Think or Swim Platform

    P.S. Thanks in advance

    Hello,

     

    I was wondering how I watch the Asian Market, I believe it opens at 7pm

     

    I want to watch the Nikkei, Hang Seng & Straits Times

     

    1. How do i find out what companies are trading over there

    2. What brokers allow foreign trading

    3. Does the Asian Market open up like the US market

     

    Thanks in Advance

    I noticed when a stock breaks through a major resistance or consolidation, and has increased volume it tends to continue to go up.

     

    How do i find these stocks on the day it makes the break through?

     

    As you can see on the charts I provided, this is what I'm looking for

     

    Is there some software when I can preform a scan to find stocks that fit this criteria?

    Hello,

     

    I was looking at options house as a new brokerage account.

     

    I use Tradeking and Think of Swim right now

     

    I'm not to happy with TradeKing.

     

    The only think that concerns me with options house is that it is so cheap

     

    They have a saying, "The cheaper it is, the more you pay"

     

    Does anyone have any input on options house?

     

    Thanks in Advance

    I honestly do not think you should spend too much money on seminars and what not. It is better to spend your time and money on the market. Screen time is what you need.

     

    Excellent Advice, you can read all the books in the world and go to 100 seminars, but you don't know nothing until you are actually doing it. I'm not saying don't learn, buy practice paper trading until you get good. When I say good, I mean focus on the technique, not the money. When you get the technique down the money will come.

    Hello Youngsequan (mms),

    You are a perfect candidate for Market Profile

    By 11am the bell curve will be formed and you can use the info to trade, maybe.

    Go and read up about it. Theres lots of info available

    But remember its NOT a trading system.

    Its very useful background knowledge of where the markets are headed

    Brooks warns of midday consolidation

    Joe Ross doesnt trade between 11.30 and 2.30. He writes trading courses- much easier.

    Please dont listen to filip who suggests trading the opposite of the signal. That sort of statement needs testing, unless he sends us his trading profit & loss account.

    regards

    What is Market Profile?

    Hello Everyone,

     

    I primarily day trade options

     

    I'm pretty good at finding deals in the morning to trade, but after 11:00 I'm usually stuck for the day

     

    I usually sell before 11:00

     

    I want to know how to make money after 11:00

     

    I don't like the fact I'm staring at charts all day without knowing the proper action to take

     

    Does anyone know of a book that explains in detail how to make good trades later in the day? What I need to look for?

     

    Thanks in Advance

    Hello,

     

    I use optionsxpress for their streaming charts and I always have problems with the charts. I love the charts but they freeze up on me too much.

     

    Does anyone know where i can get access to streaming charts for a low price that have advanced features like optionsxpress?

     

    Thanks in Advance

    Hello Everyone,

     

    I was searching on Amazon for a trading book to read

     

    I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/Street-Smarts-Probability-Short-Term-Strategies/dp/0965046109/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281959921&sr=8-1

     

    I'm wondering just how good the content is for it to be this high

     

    Hopefully someone here has read the book and can tell me what they think

     

    I guess if it has content that can help change your financial future, it is worth the price

     

    Any input would be appreciated!

     

    Thanks in Advance

    youngsequan,

     

    What are your goals and what do you want from the books? I could recommend you a dozen, but it would be better if you were more specific.

     

    The book by Tharp is great and covers a lot of ground.

     

    Mastering The Trade by Carter is also decent.

     

    The Market Wizards series is also good.

     

    Good luck!

     

    I'm trying to make a certain amount each day from day trades

     

    I'm trying to build up my money so I can make long term trades

     

    I trade from the news in the morning

     

    I make most of my money in the morning

     

    If I miss a stock, I'm usually stuck the rest of the day

     

    I want to learn how to notice patterns, and learn some strategies so I can make money if I don't catch something in the morning

     

    Thanks everyone for the help
