  1. Do you, or can you find, the EL code? if so post it here in txt format.
  2. Have not ever used the paintbar for anything, so I cant really comment on that. I do know you can do it through OEC's indicator wizard. As for show me's, just make it as a regular indicator and when you plot it on your chart just make it a "point", and then select the appropriate style and width.
  3. You might as well as pack it up then. Obviously there is only one way, and this guy has come across it. How wonderful for him to share with us.
  4. I always find it funny when people go back and forth of indicators vs no indicators. There are a million ways to make money in the market, and to think there is one way is a joke. MODERATOR: Please change the title of this thread to something like, "One way to scalp the Emini's"
  5. The reason I ask is that I taught myself EL when I used to use tradestation. Thats one of the good things about TS is the online community. Don't expect OEC's compiler to help you too much. If there is an error it will tell you, but not too much. You'll have to learn the format and all the little things that might not make it work. You might want to look around on google, there are a couple on-line reference books that would help. I'm not entirely sure if OEC can do everything that TS can do. For what I need it for, it works perfectly. Not sure how complicated or complex your ideas are.
  6. Using EL in OEC is relatively easy. At least a lot easier than doing it in C#. You can do most stuff using OEC's EL compiler. Depending on what you want it to do, OEC is pretty slick for programming in EL.
  7. Wait? You guys got this too? Man, i thought i was going to be millioniare:doh:
  8. I record them as a separate category. Basically, a Loss, Break-even and Win. The BE trades are not full winners so I dont feel they should be counted as such, as well as they are not full losers either. If keeping track in excel, its pretty easy to set something up like that.
  9. That's funny, I love how OEC DOM's work. If you want to use a limit Left Click, Right click for stop. Not really understanding what is so bad about this. If i remember correctly, trying to do a stop-limit in ninja required to push the scroll button, not exactly easy. Not to be so critical, but is it really that hard to distinguish left from right?
  10. Who is your broker? Doesn't matter. Close your account. Find a new broker. The SEC has nothing to do with futures. You can short the hell out the ES if you so chose. What a joke your broker is.
  11. Have you ever thought of just building one yourself? There is plenty of info out there that can show you how. That way you can get everything that you want/need and not have to rely on some other company.
  12. Dont really understand what that shitty looking website has anything to do with the discussion here.
  13. What are you guys talking about?? I can make millions of dollars trading this system for sure!! All that it cost me is $320. :helloooo: C'mon people. Common sense should prevail here. Also, looking at the charts, all they show are range days. Good luck on trend days, of course they dont show those. There is no magic indicator, paintbar, showme, etc. If there is, its sure as hell not going to be for sale, and if it was not for $320. Save yourself some time, money, and grief.
  14. Hasnt been much action in this thread, so here's my take. *At the time of this post there was still about 45 min in the pit trading hours for oil. I made the assumption that not much would change.
  15. Now thats pretty good. That's way too vague for anyone to help you. Have you tried to write any of this yourself? When I used TS/MC I pretty much taught myself. Once you find some examples, its actually pretty easy. Why dont you start with that, and then post the code you come up with, so people can help you. There are a lot of post on the TS forums where you could find some similar things of what you want to do. This site is very helpful, but to ask someone to just do the whole thing for free is a little far fetched. Give it a try yourself, experiment. I think you will be amazed how much you can really accomplish yourself using EL.
  16. I actually got an email, now they have a secrets of forex traders program. Maybe this one will be legit. :rofl:
  17. Why don't you post your actually rules for trend and actual rules for chop. That way someone can actually help you. That wont cut it. You are asking for the code, not for help on the code. Not sure really what you expected here? Just for someone to hand you a file???
  18. I saw Larry on CNBC one morning and decided to check out his site. I signed up for the free results they send out every night. I think if I went back and tracked every single day they would be tremendously down. And then I kept getting emails, how the price was going up soon, and I had to "Act now". I call that infomercial marketing. When I see something like that, its and instant red flag. However, many people fall prey to this type of marketing. As long as one learns from this mistake, and more importantly never do it again, they should be fine. I guess the real secret that old Larry boy has discovered, is to start a website that can fleece newbies and people struggling. If a method truly works, no one would sell it. No man, woman, or :haha: chip. It wouldn't make sense. Why not trade your own money, start a CTA or CPO. Truth is that the "method" is shit, or very basic at that and if their own money and/or ass was on the line the method would choke. Buyer beware, no where is that more appropriate then the day trading ring.
  19. C'mon Abe, you can do it, at least take a guess. I'll go ahead and guess too. My guess is that zdo didnt take his meds today. That's the best I can do. I'm sure you could do better. I mean, it's not like zdo is being completely ambiguous here or anything. I hope you didn't party to much at school, i think zdo needs your help. :beer:
  20. You can hedge the ym using the nq, er2, or es.
  21. If you know this, then use it to your advantage. If they are purposely screwing the retail traders then take the opposite side, use your amazing and spectacular knowledge to your advantage. I guess since you like 4x so much, there are no pro's there to screw you either.
  22. It's not just trading in front of news. There are many other ways forex is way more manipulated than futures: Giant random spikes to take out stops If a trader is too profitable, execution slows down Unable to withdraw money if account is up Absolutely no regulation Trading against the broker, who controls the quotes I really dont know how you actually believe futures are more manipulated than forex. The CME and your broker are just facilitators of trade, while you are literally trading against the broker in forex, who just happens to control the quotes. That doesn't seem like its on the up and up to me. I have never heard of one trader say that they cant get executed on globex because they are too profitable. And to think, that there are a group or traders that just go around hunting stops is laughable. Now price might seem that its gets attracted to your stops and then reverses, but it's ludicrous to think the pros/pits traders are out to get you. Its the function of where you are putting your stops. If you put them in obvious areas, well, then how can you say they are stop hunting? Even if they are, there are still many more ways forex is rigged against the retail trader.
  23. You got it backwards there. You look at the overall picture first, THEN a candle pattern to support your idea. You dont look at candle patterns and then try to get the bigger picture to fit those ideas. That's why candles are secondary, not primary.
