    TradeStation and Market Replay

    As a beginner trader with a full time job during the market hour, I found tick-by-tick "Market Replay" from Ninja Trader to be very valuable as a practice tool. It allows me to practice some of the mechanics as a day trader. However, I am also interested in automated trading and backtesting...

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    I will take a stab at answering the question. There is no method that will make money everyday. So you equip yourself with different tools and use the one you see fit. Even if you have enough knowledge, you just have to know that losing is a natural outcome of trading. I might be wrong, but I...

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    Bashir, Thanks for the detailed reply. The use of fib is very interesting. I used to think fib is rubbish :p Now I really ought to look into that for the sake of knowing what other people might be thinking. On a separate issue, does Sierra Chart not have a good way to do backtesting? I...

    Here is the way i daytrade the Emini-YM

    They could erect a regulation requiring you to have higher minimum equity to "day trade' future much like what they did with stocks back in 2001. :thumbsdow Jason

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    hi Bashir, More weapons for us to shoot ourselves on foot :thumbsup: Seriously though, I can't wait to see the "rules" for the method. Got a few questions for you hoping you can shed some light: 1. Does the "ranging method" contradict with the "medium term trending and buy on short term dip"...

    Here is the way i daytrade the Emini-YM

    I will try to separate out each question and answer as best as I can: 1. Is there any particular reason you chose Infinity over Mirus? I have not choose one over another yet. Both are demo account and being evaluated. 2. I read an earlier post somewhere that says you can't trade Sierra...

    Here is the way i daytrade the Emini-YM

    hi everyone, It's been only few days since I started using the demo account with SC+Infinity after testing with Ninja+ZenFire+Mirus, and I have few questions about SC. In SC I can't seem to figure out how to use the "open trade/setting window" to implement the bracket order strategy of "2 car...

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    I think this is not specific to Bashir's system. I found backtesting to be quiet different from trading the method in real time whether using replay or live. Both 10 min, 30 min, and to some extend 3 min stochastic exhibit quiet a few of uncertainties when trading on real time. I think this...

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    Thanks for answering. I was thinking something along the same line. On a somewhat related issue, the "Global Crosshair" in Ninja really bugs me. It seems that I have to turn it on on every individual chart to get a true global crosshair on every chart. Their documentation doesn't say anything...

    Daytrading the EMINI's, manual method version 2

    Nice to have the threads separated. It was getting difficult to find stuff in 180+ pages of post. I am curious on how one can compare the effectiveness between different setups (5 charts vs 3 charts) using the same method. Having all the required charts open at either replay or live data to...

    Here is the way i daytrade the Emini-YM

    Hi, Can any veteran of the system please post trades made or should have been made following the system? Since the rules are pretty clear after reading through a lot of posts, no fancy graphs and no explanation needed, just the trade itself. Today (1/7/2008) is the first day that I traded the...

    Here is the way i daytrade the Emini-YM

    hi Bashir I am quiet new to trading future and I must say that this thread has been very educational. Even though I am still on page 40, I have to say that the things I have learned from this thread is way more than any of the standard books people read. Looking at real life example has...
