I find a hammer after a confirmed swing high gives more confirmation to the signal.

I like the idea. I have been on a few Paltalk rooms that have voice chat as well so I am into that , and it's free. Is this the kind of thing in whcih you want everyone to be able to be on a VOIP and communicate in all directions or just have one or two moderator speakers?

cool, I myself have also backed way off on the intraday futures. Spending more time now in the equities themselves.

Hey Tingull, Have you tried SSF's? intraday

Yes you can filter out larger lot orders in esignal the same way as tradestation. I use esignal and am very happy with the TAS.

you will need to use a third party to correctly use the T&S. Ib just doesnt offer a good version of that feeature with TWS. I am not sure what you can use but I think their is a link on the IB website about third party software. Might want to look at that.

I know some folks who have used and it seems to help so that's great, but for me I think it is distracting. Especially if you are trading a system you developed and backtest and have put into live action. If you "start taking positions" or "not taking positions" or based on the audio, then you are not sticking to your setups and sort of flyng by the seat of your pants IMO. After all your backtesting did not consider the audio. I mean maybe I should try hooking the audio output up to an audio meter and start testing to see at what decibel levels price starts to react and I could come up with a setup from it hahaha. :o

uh oh, that was silly of me. Well hope it was a good one anyway if your reading this thetradingdoctor.

Have A Nice Vacation

anyone know of something like this for esignal?

At one point I was trying to teacvh myself how to stop taking myself out of the position to soon. So I started doing pushups evertime I entered and let the DOM do the executing. It worked. Fitness while you trade.hahaha

not totally about futures trading but I am reading "Trend Following" by Michael Covel. It's not a technical but for folks who already understand the market this is great book to read to get your history lessons to learn what could reside during the long road ahead. Lots about Dunn and Turtle traders.

Abesmith, You need to stop trading and spend the next few months back hitting the books. Also look into some better charting. Are u using any market internals? Do you know how to figure a stop maybe even based on using average true range? Are you a breakout or a pullback trader? Do you play reversals? Are you a trend follower? What markets do you trade and why? If you can not anser these questions without stopping to think for even a milisecond, then you dont know your plan and I think that is recipe of failure in trading.
