No one tried his free trading room? I attended and found that he teaches you a disciplined method based on using floor pivots and wide range bars. Unfortunately, after running the Free Live Trading room everyday for three months, Dave is cutting back to once a week. Maybe just for the...

Hi All, Dave Mecklenburrg is running a free trading room for intraday trades. Does anyone have any recommendations/experiences that are worth sharing? I reviewed several trades on his website and they have been pretty good. Thanks, Zing

Over 100 views and no comments from the experienced traders out there?!?! Surely someone has heard of this educator and has something useful to say.

Hi All, I'm always looking for a great educator. It's easy to weed out the really bad ones because sites like this have members that provide feedback on them. However, I often come across an educator that I can't find very much information on in terms of reviews. Adrian Manz at...

Hi, On a separate topic, I have recently noticed that when IB is running for a long time (six hours plus) it seems to really 'slow' down in updates and response to the user. Has anyone else had that problem? It was so bad in one case that as I clicked on cancel order, it transmitted and...

Hi, This is exactly the same as my previous post #1866???? Anyway, I have found that you can maintain chart mark-up's by keeping a chart open per 'key' instrument that you are tracking. So I have multiple charts on one screen with separate instruments per chart. I enter comments on these...

Hi, Anyone up to providing a demo of their VSA skills? If so, analyze the attached chart on AIG and let us know what you would do. Don't cheat :). Please provide your details/analysis with some explanation behind your decision. Let's see what knowledge we can gain from this. Best of luck! Zing

Did you try the various Chart Time Options via Chart Parameters? ~ Keep chart up-to-date ~ Show data outside of regular trading hours ~ Show data in user time zone

Hi Steve, Thanks very much for the helpful details! I need all the help that I can get. My watchlist shows that it was good day to go long today (QQQ +1.34%, SPY +1.2%) but you would never know that by looking at my P/L for today. My best trade was on TROX - a top gainer for the day. Did...

Hi, Does IB have the capability to save 'mark-ups' such as trendlines, comments, etc. per ticker/chart? Right now, I have to redraw trendlines, etc. as I toggle through ticker symbols in the watchlist. Maybe there's a config setting that I haven't been able to find? Zing

Hi all, Is anyone successful with this method using Interactive Brokers charting only? If yes, how do you manage tracking the previous days high/lows. I ask because entering a trade at the previous day's high or low improves the odds of success (IMHO-comments welcomed) but IB does not...

Hello, At the risk of embarrassing myself, I will provide a screen shot on some trades and post them to a different thread - as soon as I find one. I don't think it's appropriate to put them in Richard's thread. Much to work on.... Regards, Zing

Ditto. As a new trader to this type of trading, I very much appreciate your contributions, as well as all others! I traded ANF today at 14:33 EST using this method but only made a small amount as my stop was hit.

Hi D70, Some questions if you don't mind. Did you use Time and Sales to help with your entry and points? Have you taken time of day into consideration - see post 1418 by Duncanhoo - "Don't bother with this setup between 11:30-1PM EST."? Zing

It makes sense to me. I don't expect the multitude of variations to be detailed. You have to start somewhere. If I were writing an article for the general trading community, I don't think I would include higher risk trading strategies either. Someone is bound to blame you for their losses...
