I don’t post on the forums very often but I read a review on Alpha Judge recently slating Market Geometry. I posted my response to the site but for some reason they didn’t want to post it (not sure why….) Anyway in order to circumvent an apparent act of censorship, I’m posting here for anybody...

Hello all, Slippage of some 30 points on the EUR/USD AT 6.20 GMT this, triggered on a market stop. I have been with IB for 2 years and the slippage is usually pretty good. It’s no big deal to me if this is a one-off which happens from time to time but 30 pips does seem a little excessive on...

perhaps there's a gap in the market for trading manuals with stimulating images ;) I just trade price - I used to look at volume but I find less is more. My brain isn't very good at multi-tasking or multi-decision making, so I take it easy on it and try not to overload it

I know but you don't get any points for the number of books read in this business. To be honest DL alot of them were rubbish and/or limited practical use. I'm not trading 5 minute charts at the moment but I have to say that for scalping futures Al Brooks first book is up there.

hey DL ... that for those very, very subtle pearls of wisdom :lol: Here are my thoughts regarding SIM trades etc…. I have been trading full-time for a little over 18mths with a live account (not a long time I know) and here’s some of what I have learnt so far. I would say that learning the...

Liked the post. The other saying I like is most people can’t recognise opportunity because it’s often disguised as hard work. I think that this principle applies to trading and many other pursuits such as starting a business, work, etc…. The taking trades and allure of profits etc… is the fun...

If you are happy with end-of-day data, you could take a look at pro realtime. It's what I use for intra-day (which you pay for) but it's free if you just want daily charts

With regards to mp, i guess its a question of whether you trade the actual method or use it as a tool to highlight areas where high volumes of trade took place i.e. price magnets. I dont trade the method but if you did i imagine that you would need to trade it consistently to get a positive...

Yeah, I'm a big fan. I have always found the support 1st class. My only niggle is that the data subscription charges aren't cheap. But then these are the tools of our trade so I don't mind paying really. I use a separate application for dealing through IB. I'm going to take a look at...

Hi Reksa, just out of interest, have you tried the new procommunity feature? I'm also a PRT user but haven't got around to checking out the above yet

there's a software company called dynamic trader who do some form of ew anlaysis, I don't use it but I gather that it is to do with checking if waves confirm to EW theory. I came across it reading the gartley trading method. Actually the book discusses the merits and vice versa of ew vs just...

the trading naked website has some info / downloads. George Ansell also has a book called sniper trading with a system based on taylor technique. I haven't had a chance to read it yet so can't say if it's any good

Like it, was the ftse or should I say "footsie" pun intentional

I collected the money but it all went to charity, so it was done for a good cause (my feet and the save the children)

about time too
