Hi at all, I read through the posting over and over again and I have to say that this is one of the most exciting lectures I read so far. But as I can see subject is lost at the end of the thread...it´s a pitty. I personally have nothing to do with the dax, this bitch hit´s me very hard, every time i try to ride her:-D So i preferr to scalp the eurostoxx, on the on hand it gives me less profits per trade but less loss on the other hand, so I have to make money via frequency. Why I´m posting here after the thread seems to be dead(hope not): I refferr to the dax very closely, as the dax is often the leader of the move, when dax is making new highs and stoxx is eating up resistance, I enter the stoxx long. Also if dax does have a premium compared to the stoxx I´m up to enter long. Between 12.00 and 13.30 I sometimes scalp the spread in the SMI but this ain´t bread and butter trades for me. My personal frontend is the buttontrader, I really love this one, ´cause it´s very intuitive and allows to trade very fast. I personally don´t use any charts, the only thing I´m looking at is a P&F at the beginning of the day to figure out S&R - Levels. All the other things are done by the book and the volume. I also have a question especcially to scientist: I read about you using T&S but the Buttons don´t feature that. Where do you get T&S? I personally use the T&S of Zerolinetrader. I only need the simtrader for that, as it is free and for trading I use buttons anyway. But I don´t want to use two programms on the API of TWS anymore, as there are always problems and makes the system slow and unstable. Do you have an idea of what to use instead, without any expensive additional software like eSignal? Second question is about marketcondition in general: I intensively analyzed the recorded Demos of Buttontrader(recorded in 2003) to compare it to these time markets. What I found out, is that there is much more flipping (of course...) in the dax as well as in the stoxx today. How do you get along with that? I heard about a heavy trader, a friend of rotter, who is very active in the dax usin the same techniques as paul. As I´m not trading the dax, I don´t mind that, but there seems to be a programm trading the stoxx, which acts very stupid, as it adds contracts only at the inside, so I use that. When bid/ask is 1200/30 and in the next second 1200/1300 I immediatly buy the ask, as probability is very high that the 1270 are pulled out again. So this is my personal strat, how do you guys compete the flippers? regards, stfreak
Hi Scientist, I have just finished reading this thread. And I would simply like to say Thank you: THANK YOU for starting this thread. (without any, or if at all minimal advantage for yourself) THANK YOU for continuing it in spite of all those persecutions. (Perlen vor dieâ¦) THANK YOU for giving us beginners plenty of HQ-information, clues, insights and links. I hope I will sometime be able to give something back of what I take. Kind regards Spacepilot Btw During my own research I find that scalping is what I like to do. (on GBL first!?) Is there a possibility or thread to discuss one or another setup/entry with you? (Guess you will find them all very simple.)
i finished this thread and found nothing useful. also, we cannot verify their stories with any accuracy.
