Thanks for not posting the TradeStation ads for the 4th time. We all know how you feel about TS. You've made your point ad nauseam. cheers

:spam: This is your third post touting TradeStation that includes a copy of their ad. Obviously, you have a vested interest in TradeStation other than being a satisfied client. Stop promoting a vendor and offering testimonials here--it's inappropriate. If TradeStation wishes to become a sponsor, that's fine; have your Cruz buddies contact James.

Anyone got a ELD for this? It’s the difference between a 3-day SMA and a 10-day SMA. Plus, there’s a second line which is a 16-period SMA of the 3-10 line.

The Cruz folks are also smart enough to know how to make money giving away bells and whistles for commissions to traders who can't make a dime with or without their product. A much better business plan then risking capital like their customers.

Without the knowledge of whether volume represents opening or closing trades, it's usefulness for me is negligible. Spydertrader, I think, was the head minion and proponent of a certain trading philosophy ascribed to a Mr. Jack Hershey. These ideas was analyzed and debated ad nauseum at ET on a multitude of threads. Note to the moderators: the last thing you want is this site to turn into a bully pulpit for the theories of Mr. Hershey as personified by Spydertrader in the Iterative Refinement journal on ET. Note to Spydertrader: Please take no offense.

Ditto. Contratrend trading cost me a lot of time and money. My ego occasionally got gratified and there's a rush knowing I caught a top/bottom, but the risk outweighed the rewards.

The only gap fill strategy that has worked for me is to trade the ones that occur in the overnight session. Remember, the ES is a 24 hour market. It's not uncommon for gaps to occur between the close of the cash market to the next day's opening, but an examination of the overnight action may show no gap at all. Overnight gaps may be few and far between, but the probability of filling is over 80%. Also, there has to be some air between the gap and current price--I look for at least 5 points.

The most valuable point you make. By the time those indicators--especially adx--confirm a trend, a lot of the easy money has been made.

Ignore request. It's working now.

Im finally getting around to this. Can you show a screenshot of the proper scaling of Sub-graph margins for TS? This is the only indicator that doesn't want to seem to load on the chart correctly.

Let me go out on a limb here. You should get what you pay for. For example if someone is selling a trading method for $49.99 and claims they are having success with it and yet won't prove that, so what. You might pay a small amount of money for, say, a moving average crossover system and write it off. Not the end of the world. On the other hand, if there is a course/chatroom that runs into the $000s it is imperative that the buyer complete sufficient due diligence to satisfy himself that the people who sell are applying their methods profitably in a real trading account. This means YOU MUST SEE AND CONFIRM TRADING STATEMENTS FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. If they have ANY excuse for not providing trading statements, then the process is over, period and just move on and don't look back. As a point of reference, there was a vendor who charged $6000 for a course and posted extraordinary results on a website claiming the trades were called and taken by the moderator. Over a year, there were only a dozen losing days trading the ES. Many of the members were so impressed, they gave this guy their own money to trade, thinking it was a way to mint money--after all, he seemed to be a great trader, so how could they lose? None of them asked for his personal trading statements to back up the website's numbers. Well, to make a long story short, it turned out the guy was not a great trader, the website results were truly hypothetical in the strict sense, and most of the members who gave him money ended up taking huge losses on their accounts. Caveat Emptor.

Are there any users here who can opine on the value of this? http://www.trendcatch.com/

Has anyone used this service? I got entirely confused reading nuances about the courses and chatrooms, but was impressed the owner posted live trades with cash. There seems to be so many rules of the road here as you progress. Any thoughts?

This shyster Alex simply took the setups and indicators from John Carter and repackaged them under the PureTick name. To charge $300 a month is highway robbery to have someone who doesn't even trade live give tick scalp trades with a risk reward ratio of 10 to 1. This is a formula for ruin if there ever was one.

What system did you spend $15K on? Not the one you describe in the opening paragraph, right?

OK. I didn't realize that.

I'll lay odds this vendor is Alex L. Wasilewski who operates PureTick. He has one of the worst reputations in an industry that is full of conmen. Read all about him at Elite Trader. And, if this is PureTick, you should be referring to "ticks" not points on targets and stopouts.

Yes, and they are terrible.

Sounds like Patriot Act paranoia. Can't say I blame. Loyds Bank admitted they were allowing Iran to launder money against UN sanctions and were slapped with a $350MM fine. Seems like it's hard to trust anyone these days.

I want it to look as close as possible to the photo for use on TradeStation. Can you post a screenshot of the appropriate format settings? Thanks in advance.

There are two versions here, one with V 2.0 The one on the first page doesn't paint any bars or dots, just a flat line and what looks like a moving average in red and blue.

I have the same issue and my charts are formatted for subgraphs lower 15%, upper 10%. Furthermore, the BR squeeze works fine. Any ideas to solve the problem?

What are the differences between yours and this one BR?

Which is the latest version?

I didn't say they have blank charts. Of course they have charts, but whats on those charts is not what drives their decision to take a trade.
