    Do the eMini Futures Markets close over Xmas/New Year and should one trade over the xmas period. New to these markets so just wondering what happens and whether one should continue to trade or step aside. For example, how long before volume returns to normal. sleepy

    so are you saying OEC ok for futures and eminis. But not any good if trading forex. sleepy
  4. sleepy v2
    According to one of OEC guys .. Forex pairs dont have a DOM but you can do a bracket order through charts (via extended options). Can anyone explain how this is doen. I still couldnt work it out. And the reason I was plannin on using OEC for froex as I wanted to use a broker that I could trade both forex and eminis. Thanks, sleepy

    Im currently trialling OEC's demo. Can someone please explain how I create a bracket order to place a forex trade. For example, aud.usd buy/stop 81.50 aud.usd sell/stop 81.00 In other words, I want to open a trade when aud.usd hits 81.50 and when it does this it put in a working order to sell at 81.00 which is my stoploss. Thanks, sleepy

    oops ... posted in wrong forum...

    Thanks for the comments Eiger As long as I remember the following I should do ok 'Next 1000 trades' 'Practise, review, practise, review, practise, review .... Id also add .. 4. Place entry 1 tick BELOW No Demand bar. As Tawe implies this wont work all the time but it does provides me a rule I can follow for similar 'Short/No Demand' setups rather than guessing when/where to enter. 5. I should also remove all indicators, print chart and then manually work through chart bar by bar, in order to practise/refine chart reading skills. 6. Master 'Short/No Demand' type setups before moving on to other ones Could you please elaborate on point 2. .. You can stop yourself in on a No Demand as Im not sure what you mean here. Thanks, sleepy

    Hi Eiger, Thanks for your comments.... Entered short position on bar following No Demand bar (#5)... @13.19 (yellow highlight) Sorry that was a typo ... it should have said. Entered short position on the bar (yellow highlight) AFTER the No Demand (#6) bar ... i.e, @13.19 Ive gone back and added all the No Demand bars A& B (both of which I admit not seeing orginially). Unfortunately I didnt discover this stock/trade until after the Upthrust (#5). Having said that .... if I had entered earlier (at A) I would have probably still tried to pyramid my position after the No Demand bars (B or #6). It is for that reason I was wanted to know if my analysis was wrong, or if Id badly managed the trade. Further, should I have tried to exit the trade before my stop was hit once I saw it going back up ... or wait to be taken out as I did in this instance. sleepy

    Any comment on the following (Losing) trade would be appreciated: I was looking for a Short position following No demand bar in down trend, with weakness in background. 1 End of Rising Market 2 UpThrust 3 UpThrust 4 Shakeout 5 UpThrust 6 No demand Australian stock ORG - trending down (on 30min TimeFrame) ... Entered short position on bar following No Demand bar (#5)... @13.19 (yellow highlight) Stop placed above Upthrust (#4).... @13.45 (yellow highlight) Taken out 2 bars later. Was this a bad trade, bad trade management or just bad luck? sleepy
  10. sleepy v2
    Can anyone please share their experiences taking a short position following an 'End of a Rising Market' bar. Assuming nothing to the left .... Do you enter immediately or wait for further weakness (e.g., Upthrust, No Demand)? Try and confirm by shifting TimeFrames ... and if so which TimeFrames do you use ... and what are you looking for? How successful has this strategy been? How often do you see an 'End of a Rising Market' bar appear? What sort of win/lose rate do you get? What have you learnt? Thanks, sleepy
  11. sleepy v2
    Tod Krueger's site is back up. Whats his web address? sleepy
  12. sleepy v2
    Hi Eiger, Have been enjoying reading all your posts over the past 6 months. Lots of good info for those willing to take the time to read and practise your many suggestions/recommendations. What was your take on the recent VSA/TradeGuider symposium you've just been to? And was it worth the time/expenses you incurred? sleepy
  13. sleepy v2
    Some great discussion(s) recently. Anyone seen Eiger? And how much time is everyone currently spending (i.e., hours a day/week) learning, reading, practising, reviewing VSA charts and principles. sleepy
  14. sleepy v2
    Goint point Blowfish. For arguments sake if you were an EOD trader would you recommend 60 min or 15 min when looking for entry/exit point. sleepy
  15. sleepy v2
    Speaking of styles, niches .. JJ, What markets are you trading ... and why? Intraday or EOD? And how many VSA trades do you take on any given day etc.. And has the above influenced your current take on trade entry (i.e, completion bar). sleepy
  16. sleepy v2
    With regard to the 'Completion bar' are we simply looking for a lower close (ie., down bar) cf to the previous no demand bar . Or should we also be mindful of the volume, spread etc on the 'Completion bar'. sleepy
  17. sleepy v2
    Yep, I like that term too ... and the accompanying explanations/clarifications. And I wasn't referring to Gavin by the way. If the diamond approach is just a 5 period moving average ...do you know what is the basis for the medium term trend indicator (ie., bar colour change) in TradeGuider? Id also agree this is very important ... but have yet to find anywhere this is discussed in-depth. Or do I need to look harder/further? sleepy
  18. sleepy v2
    CandleWhisperer, Are you implying that the No Demand bar that occurs in TradeGuider will only appear if the following bar closes down ... in other words this indicator will appear in retrospect (ie take 2 bars to form). jjthetrader. Pivotprofiler also argues that confirmation of no demand occurs over two bars (i.e, close LOWER than the previous bar). Just been re-listening to the Boot Camp DVDs and Todd makes the comment that No Demand bars (and Up Thrusts) are confirmation bars when serious weakness is in the background. However, he also mentions he couldn't trade without TradeGuider which (If candlewhispher is correct) does not show No Demand bars unless confirmation has alreadly occurred. A slight but important distinction, nonetheless between those using TradeGuider and those reading VSA directly from the charts. I have also heard of one successful?? trader (using TradeGuider) who when seeing secondary signs of weakness (i.e, No Demand/ Up Thrust bars) waits until AFTER a trend change occurs (i.e, indicated by diamonds) before entering the market (ie., Short) ... which appears similar to your momemtum type play you mentioned in your previous post. sleepy
  19. sleepy v2
    Hi jjthetrader, When you say to a 'confirmation bar' are you referring to any VSA signal that occurs over the one bar only (be it a 5min or 1 Week timeframe). For example, if you see weakness in the background and then get an Upthrust or No Demand they can be regarded as confirmation .... as opposed to say Top Reversal which occurs over two bars. Or am I getting that wrong? sleepy
  20. sleepy v2
    Great advice JJ ... although I think many will have missed this piece of wisdom. Based on your experiences to date ... Which setup would you recommend starting with? ... and in order, if possible the others you'd recommend? Was thinking of starting with Upthrusts but would also welcome others opinions. sleepy
  21. sleepy v2
    Hi Monad, I didnt attend saturdays seminar ... but you can you please elaborate on what you mean by the above comment. Second, was their any mention of the Tradeguider Upgrade that Gavin was constantly referring to during Oct-Dec? Or about their customer only forum that is supposed to now be up and running? sleepy
  22. sleepy v2
    Long vs Short In theory VSA applies equally to going Long or Short. Just wondering if those who have been using VSA for a while have found that is in fact the case or if they actually do things different (consciously or sub-consciously) when going SHORT. sleepy
  23. sleepy v2
    Has anyone watched the CD by Tom Williams "How to pick Stocks that are Ready to Move" ... just wondering if its different to the boot camp CDs. sleepy
  24. sleepy v2
    jj, What happened with Fedex? ... #804
  25. sleepy v2
    JJ, I have EOD. Im actually wanting to see M,W,D charts for stock AAA on the screen, then be able to see M,W,D charts for stock AAB, etc ... so as I page through EACH stock in a particular folder I have their M,W,D charts appear on screen at the same time. sleepy
