I've seen this situation a few times now, where a stock will see a huge surge in volume perhaps 300-400% more than the daily average volume for that day. But price doesn't move at all or very little. How is the supply suddenly coming into the market to meet the demand. How are all the buy or...

I saw an interesting article in the WSJ that compared a companies share price on the same chart as the bond price on a percentage basis. It had this quote "price moves by a companies debt in the credit market sometimes mirror and sometimes anticipate moves in that the same company's share...

I live in the US and I wanted to trade for example stocks on the Hang Seng, or Nikkei index just like I do here. In essence I want to just type the exchange and ticker and boom the chart pops up the same as a NYSE stock does. What brokerage services would allow me to have foreign exchange...

Most of TA is based upon trading patterns and seeing the psychology of the market and trading with the big boys. But if most trades are executed by computers who have no fear or greed, who have no psychological makeup how can TA be honestly applied to these situations anymore. Algo's use past...

Okay thanks

Suppose before the market opens 9:30 nyse that I identify a big technical level that id like to play. Suppose I plan to go long 100 shares. Can I buy out of the money puts to hedge this position? Then exercise them intraday if the position goes against me?

Hey guys I was wondering if you can point me toward a stock scanner that will allow me to build custom filters. For example when the 10 SMA crosses below the 20 SMA Low Ive looked at the demo of mad scanner, trade-ideas, and none seem to provide that level of customization. Thanks

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you guys trade the open, and try to catch 10 cent moves up and down when the market opens. Im just trading on the demo, not live to see how to play this Im talking about equities, when the market opens I look at the level 2 to spot a big buyer watching the...

But I am asking a higher order question. I am not saying that technical analysis doesnt work. But what I am asking is that if fundamental investors all left the market today all of them, and the only traders left were technical traders, every single trade was done by an algo or human was based...

I have a quick question about the whole idea of technical analysis and using it in the short term. A stock price represents the value that people think that a stock has based on its fundamentals and future expected cash flows. But a technical analyst will look at price and see that since...

Hi there I trade equities but I live in LI as well

I tried sierra charts and I didnt like the layout its very old. Mutlicharts I tried but its damn expensive.

Im Magic Charts you could type in the time frame in text "30min" and it would jump tot he 30 min chart. Then you could type "ticks" and you'd get a tick chart and you could type "1min" and you get the idea. I've never found this type and change feature in any other software for charting can...

What I'm looking for is software that will allow me to practice trading certain setups in simulation on back data. Suppose I want to practice breakout plays, over and over. I want the simulation to pull up stock data that I know has possible breakout trades, so I can practice trading it over...

I've used the bloomy in my college years and over a few of my jobs, and now that I work at a prop shop that doesnt have one, I am feeling quite lost. Its just too expensive for me to swing one on my own. I've done some research and Ive found some alternatives but the only one that comes close...
