...................... ROTFLMAO if he can make a lowly 8% per month, he will be very rich and do not have to deal with the hassle of stupid and greedy newbies.

what seems to be the problem?

there are hundreds of ways to smooth a MA... eg. use medianprice instead of close

that depends on what the OP is trading... if he is trading ES... then there is a big problem somewhere. if he is trading a far month sugar... mmm, may not be a problem at all.

you can get multicharts and hook it up to any one of the supported brokers.

this is life... no different from the medical school, law school, engineering school... etc. most of the people who wanted to become a doctor, do not make it. most of the people who made it to be a lawyer, do not make enough money to be proud. most of the engineers, do not work in the engineering field. the only difference between a trader and the other "professions" is... the barrier to entry is low... any Tom, Dick, and Harry who has a few hundred dollars can open an account and pretend to be a get-rich-quick trader. the hard reality is, most of the wannabees are under funded, under prepared, under psych'ed... and over hyped. If you ask anyone with their state of preparation to be a doctor/lawyer/engineer, they will fail too. The wannabees failed, not because they are stupid, but because they are naive. There is no medicine for stupidity, the medicine for naivety is the school of hard knocks.

What is wrong with having 90% of Traders Lose? I ain't complaining...

Remember this one simple rule to profitable trading... write it down on a piece of paper, write it on top of your monitor, write it out a hundred times every morning before the market opens, write it on top of your keyboard, write it on the bathroom mirror, write it on your coffee mug, Never argue with the market

I am intrigued by the "Look Inside!" arrow and its placement.

Learn to code, no tech skills required CNNMONEY | Added on November 29, 2011 The tech start-up Codecademy aims to make computer programming skills easy to learn. CNN's Laurie Segall reports. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2011/11/29/segall-ny-codecademy.cnnmoney

the market is a reflection of human activities (buying and selling). if you think people buying and selling based on random decisions, then the market will be random.

if you can assume data accuracy, there are a lot you can explore. if there is no consistent and reliable data performance, everything is a concept, a theory, a wishful thinking.

is this "delta" thing reliable? I am not asking the "signal" you are proposing, I am asking if the dataprovider can reliably supply data that can be split into your "delta". if so, what is the maximum resolution they can do this? have you done a comparison test to ascertain the data correct? and that the dataprovider can perform such a supply in a consistent and dependable manner for real money trading purposes?

..... what is delta ?

what is your chart resolution?

the world will survive life will go on this is just another transfer of wealth from the poor, to the rich. in the old days, they use war to transfer wealth in the name of religion, justice, national pride, or whatever, they go into other people's places and plunder, rape, then set fire. today in this "civilize" society, they use legalized robbery, legalized rape, then set legalized fire. history is repeating itself plunders the same, different weapons.

that is a 100% return you should say 50% gain. or 50% profit. Return is annualized.

he said it is a simple rule maybe so simple that there is no rule? i smell another spam

if you follow the MA, you cannot be arguing with the market. not everybody sees that. some people needs to be told, some people needs to be wagged by a 2x4 before they can see the light.

good luck.......... I wish you the best. to be profitable in trading, one needs not to be a genius, to be successful in trading, no advanced degree is required. all that esoteric indicators and all that secret formulas are fluff. to be successful and profitable in trading, all you need is one simple mindset -- don't argue with the market the rest of the detail will look after themselves.

some say use price action only, some say use indicators, some make money, some lose money, some are happy, some are not. you just have to find what works for you. other people's PnL does little for you or me.
