[10:53] http://pub90.ezboard.com/fthestrategylabfrm98 [10:54] ok. i see what you were talking about now. [10:54] Great...its an easy signal to capture...requires a good stop placement. [10:55] yeah. that shouldnt be a problem however. [10:56] thats great. i have always had trouble entering that type of market. [10:58] Yep...I call them "creeper markets". [10:58] cool. thanks!

[11:03] no, I'm now in geneva switzerland [11:04] oh, are u on a world tour ? [11:04] ;-) [11:04] next week I'll be home. lol [11:05] I took a break [11:06] and I need a break :) [11:06] Tradestation is taking our break for us. :D [11:08] LOL [11:08] lol [11:09] if you remember guy's, just before I left we talked about 966 res.. [11:10] FFT...I missed a very nice Bullish Divergence trade setup because my QCharts died for about 1min just before that big upside pop. [11:10] I waited all day for a good divergence setup and missed it because of QCharts data flow problems :( [11:10] Yeah Jazz, my stop's at 66.25 :D [11:11] Nihaba, seems like we've all been having more than usual data problems this week. [11:11] I mean about 15 days ago. [11:11] * FutureFuturesTrader struggles to remember events that far back - he's not an investor, you know :D [11:12] lol [11:12] :) [11:12] do you have troubles with TWS? [11:13] At 10AM the quotes updated very sporadically. [11:13] TWS is freezing every time [11:14] Since the only two quotes systems I have oL are tws and ts (and ts is admitting it's slow), it's hard for me to guess how accurate TWS is. But, TWS generally is pretty good. [11:15] may be my internet connection [11:19] Nice patience Jazz. [11:19] 0,2 Covered 1/3 ES Short @ 960.75 --> + 2.5 [11:19] :) [11:19] thanks niha, I'm a little slow with my laptop. [11:28] 0,2 Covered Remainder ES Short @ 962.50 --> + 0.75 [11:34] This room is only for Trade Posting (real or paper) and/or discussions about a posted trade or key market events that could affect a trader's open trade position...strictly enforced. [11:36] nice trade, Jazz [11:36] :) [11:37] neede some bucks to pay the ticket, eh ? ;-)) [11:37] and expenses [11:37] sure [11:38] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 962.25 [11:38] 0,3 Long ES @ 962 [11:39] :) [11:47] 0,2 Covered all ES Short @ 962.50 --> - 0.25 [11:48] 0,2 Exited 1/2 ES Long @ 964 --> + 2 [11:49] very nice MGD [11:49] txs [11:54] I took this last trade via the tick chart and I missinterpreted the signal. however, this is a good tool to consider, as a chart. [11:59] 0,2 Exited Remainder ES Long @ 963.25 --> + 1.25 [12:00] Jazz...I tried once for about 2 weeks to integrate the use of tick (like 180 ticks or 10secs) charts with my minute charts... [12:00] I found myself getting confused too often. [12:00] Simply...I have to use one or the other...not together. [12:00] i use 1 min chart [12:01] but i use the spx.x index to confirm trades [12:02] it´s very useful for me [12:02] I use it with the same interval as my es chart, 3min. I plot some indicators on it, S/R etc.. [12:02] compensate little delay with low noise in the chart [12:02] I find it helpfull as it is faster. [12:04] generaly speaking, I think there's some room for creativity in trading analysis. [12:05] experience let you decide what is useful for you and what isn't [12:05] right [12:07] Elliott wave analisys make a diference , i think [12:08] gives you another perspective, its very useful for me [12:13] Reminder...on June 1st...there will be a new password for this #FuturesTrades room [12:13] New password changes EVERY first of each new month. [12:14] I'll post the new password this weekend at the discussion forum...as usual.
