James, Since you asked... I like browing Windows Applications mainly. Music too. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Quinny is starting just yet. Frye has been named the starter and the situation will be reviewed week-to-week. In other words, your time in Cleveland is numbered Charlie.

You know what might be even easier? Just follow the tradingzoo guy - check out the performance! Since May, they have only had one down day and that was nothing! Talk about a winning streak. http://www.tradingzoo.com/performance.php Wow! That's impressive! :shocked: I mean, for 6 grand, you can get that back in one or two days since they apparently hardly ever lose.

If there's interest, I'll make a league. I'd like at least two more participants. I see you've gravitated to the 2 best teams in the NFL. That's just too easy. You need a team like the Browns - a team that gets your hopes up every year only to totally crush them later. It's a fun emotional ride. Browns site: http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/ My fave browns message board: http://www.dawgtalkers.net/

I just scan every file after it's downloaded. These sites are good for doing an online scan - http://virusscan.jotti.org/ http://www.virustotal.com/

I am not condoning the use of torrents but I am looking for a particular TV show that is a little harder to find (for me at least). So, I thought I'd ask what your favorite torrent sites are and we'll have a little reference sheet. My fave - http://thepiratebay.org Other - http://www.demonoid.com (problem is that I am not a registered member here and need a current member ... hint ... to invite me) What others do you like?

Seeing that TL is a little community, I thought I'd see if there are any other fantasy (American) football players here. Now, if you are reading this wondering what fantasy football even is, check this link out - http://football.about.com/b/a/088041.htm In a nutshell, you make your own football team, taken from players on all different real life teams and then play another person in your league (who also has their own little team) and the most points wins. It's fun and addicting. If anyone is interested in playing, respond here and if there's enough interest (at least 4 of us, if not more!), I'll set up a league on ESPN.

That's a good idea James. I personally have never done anything with the S&P or Dow heavy weights, but I could see the validity there for sure. I guess it comes down to how much can one person properly watch and screen during the day. Question for you - what timeframes are you now using in your trading? Just curious what you are using that would allow monitoring of stocks and futures.

According to their FAQ... 18. What countries is SIRIUS service available in? SIRIUS is currently available in the continental US and Canada.

Good question James, I'll see if I can find out.

I just got an email that current Sirius subscribers like myself can refer new subscribers to Sirius and the new subscriber will receive 15% off. If anyone is interested in Sirius, send me a PM with your name and email address and I'll get the discount coupon off to you. It's nice to have Sirius, esp at football time, if you are not local to your fave team and want to listen to the game. http://www.sirius.com/ - for more info on Sirius and stations available. That link does not provide the discount, it must come from a current Sirius subscriber.

There's the problem - they want evidence that a 22 yr old has that kind of LIQUID net worth. Key word being liquid. Even if you own a home and have some equity in it, that's not what they are looking for. I'm guessing that number was quite a stretch since you are posting here, so I would just try another broker to be honest. Right now your social is red flagged at IB. Just my suggestion.

Since I am not a female, I would not be wearing knickers. Men wear pants. Or shorts. :thumbs up:

Play nice fellas. Why don't you have a beer? :beer:

Nice early morning pop and not much since then.

Cool, will check it out later. Thanks for sharing.

The 2 bar reversal thing - I think you mentioned it to Abe in one of his thread and I just observed it, didn't really pay attention to it though. I've never seen the '2 bar reversal' before and would like to see how it could play into my analysis here.

Abe, I asked my OEC contact the same question, and here's what he suggested: There is good volume on: LIFFE - Eurodollar, Euribor, FTSE 100 EUREX - DAX, DJ EuroSTOXX 50, EuroBund, EuroBobl, Euribor We'll be turning on Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong in the next 30 days that will open up more possibilities. We're thinking about KRX (Korea) which has the KOSPI (the most widely traded contract in the world) but we are waiting on the approval to come through allowing US customers to trade this product before we move on that. Right now, we would only be able to offer that to our foreign customers.

blu or walter - The question I have is where would you have initiated the short, where would your protective stop be and where would you exit for a profit? I realize this is pretty easy in hindsight, but I'm curious to see how to actually trade this setup in real-time.

Tin, You should really start a thread about what you've annotated here. I've seen you mention it now and again, but I'd like to see a more formal presentation so I can follow more closely.

James, As Tin said, that is a bearish formation - a shooting star. If you were filled, it failed as a short. Again, depends on if your entry criteria was met.

Walter - if Blu can code it in EasyLanguage, it *should* transfer over to MultiCharts no problem.

Nick, That's good work for a candle noob! Let's look at the 30 min chart first: It looks like we had some similar ideas here. This 30 min chart provided 3 possible setups and depending on if your entry criteria was met, you went 2 for 3 or 2 for 2. I like this 30 min chart example b/c it was pretty clean for the most part. 15 min chart: Now, before anyone freaks out there, there's one important thing to keep in mind - while there are a number of possible candle setups, it comes down to if your entry criteria was met in terms of a valid pattern or not. My personal choice on a longer timeframe would be want some sort of confirmation of the pattern before initiating a trade. The 5 min chart would take too long to annotate tonight, so we'll pass on that one for now. But Nick did a good job, esp as a newbie to candles, in spotting some nice possible trade scenarios on the 15 and 30 min charts. So what's the catch, right? The catch is that some days, the 15 and/or 30 just don't have it with the candles. It's easy to spot these days after the fact, but they are the days were not much really took place. It's easy to see on a 1 or 3 minute chart where you see action, but noting really netting much out. Good example - 30 min ES chart from 8-2-07: You'll see that it was just a tight range most of the day. I see 2 candlestick patterns that both worked, but nothing to get excited about. I guess on a tight range day if you can come out unscathed when using a higher timeframe, you should be happy with that. The difference being that a 1 or 3 minute chart that day could have provided more.

Good question, but not sure I can answer... I would check out the market profile area here on TL or even email TradeStation and ask.

James, Let's take a look at your NAS daily, weekly and DOW daily, weekly. NAS DAILY We have an interesting formation on the NAS daily, right at the 50 SMA - a spinning top. The spinning top by definition is meant to show a pause or break of action since there was no decisive winner between the bulls and bears. It can also show a possible exhaustion of the current trend as well. Result - possible short to play based on the short-term trend as up AND using the SMA as a possible resistance zone. ========================================= NAS WEEKLY The weekly shows a very different picture. Here, we had a hammer 2 candles back that pierced the SMA but could not close below it. Depending on how you play that hammer, you should be long by now. Since the first major red hammer there, we then had a very bullish white candle and then followed up by another bullish hammer. Note the lower shadows of those two candles came close to testing that SMA zone again. Result here is that you should be long, although it has not been an easy long to maintain. ========================================= DOW DAILY The dow daily is giving an 'ok' bearish formation near the SMA. I'm not in love with this possible short, but there's definitely a possibility here to go short based on the shooting star at the SMA. Similar setup the NAS, which if nothing else, should give some additional confirmation. ========================================= DOW WEEKLY Dow weekly resembles the NAS weekly - should be long based on the red hammer 2 weeks back and again, should be holding long, but it's been a grinder to get into profit. ========================================= It's not surprising to see the charts similar, which is good for an overall feel of the market. If playing these current short possibilities on the daily, the NAS looks like a better risk/reward setup. I'm just concerned that it actually broke the SMA and looks like it closed above. So, you get a better return on your money if the short works, but I would not be surprised to look back and see a failed short a few days from now. And it all boils down to if your entry criteria is even met to begin with. For anyone reading assuming I would be shorting first thing Tue, I suggest you read through all the Steps that I have outlined in the forum. Just b/c a bearish signal appears, does NOT mean I would initiate a short at the onset of trading Tue.
