  1. Nodoji you have talked about bear traps in the past. Would you mind explain exactly what that means? A pic or 2 would great. Thanks

    Good luck, I have no idea what you see. I think the daily is more like a bull flag over October.

    6 red 15' bars in a row - many people getting burned buying the dips :(

  7. I hate to post this in the middle of the day but I just need ASAP.

    I wonder if any of you have a broker that allows you to trade all kind of energy spreads such as:
    Crude Oil-Nat Gas
    Crude Oil-HO
    Crude Oil-HU
    Crack Spread 3:2:1

    and WTI-BZ

    not like Interactive Brokers that I have to insert one leg out time, I want on one trade one symbol that will reflect the discount on the Initial Margin...........I am talking with MF Global to use CQG Integrated Client....but the price they are giving me is too expensive.

    Thanks for your help.

  8. Excellent Trade.

    so how do you manage to keep your live and sim DOM's open,
    I have Tradestation and I can either login live or sim, its not possible to pick and choose at realtime.
    Even in IB I can login either live or Sim.

    Today Total trades = 9
    +200
    I missed few good signals ( was on phone or away ) and again today I had hard time letting my profits run ended leaving alot on table, I think I am one step ahead now I have to worry of letting the winners run earlier my trades did not run.

    Blox, NoEmotions, ahem... I thought it was evident that I was joking :D Sorry for any confusion.

    Actually I was in can't-pull-the-trigger mode all morning and later had to walk away as I was too focused on myself, as opposed to the market and on the brink on going on tilt. :(

    NE, with NinjaTrader you can switch between live and sim accounts. You also have "shadow strategies" so you can see (in a sim account) what would happen if you didn't touch your stops/targets, etc.

    With IB bare you'll need two computers to run both live and sim DOMs (although you may want to ask NoDoji).

    I believe Thinkorswim is planning on providing a single order for pair trading. I'm not sure if it's implemented yet.

    Have you looked at IB's Combo Trader? It supports multi-leg spreads.
