Are you able to expand upon and argue that position, or are you just trying to frighten the young'uns?
I started out with probably too much money, and I lost a lot of it. For a long time, I couldn't shake a certain skepticism. I wondered if it...
If so are you using Tradestation?
Not really - at least not currently. There's discussion but as yet no details that I've seen on incorporating a version of RadarScreen (the...
I don't claim to be an authority on assessing the financial stability of companies - but, then again, these days that might count as a...
If you're going to insist on continuing your one-man campaign against Tradestation, you should at least try to keep your information up to date....

This thread has turned into a way for those us still learning about EL to compare notes and help each other out. There's been a lot of discussion...

You have to remember that EL reiterates at the close of each bar: Only then does it set up reactions that will take place during subsequent bars....
Since I know you don't mind, um, correction, just let me say: Don't forget the risk of divide by zero error (could happen if H = L, as it...
