Hey AM,

Since moving to Montana I have started a new business, so my focus on trading has become less and less while I get things up and running. Right now, just doing longer-term analysis and developing a swing trade strategy since I can't be in front of the computer so much at the moment.

Good luck with your new strategies as well!

Thanks,
Tyler

Hello Tyler

Good to see you blogging again.
What sort of trading you doing these days: daytrading, swing etc ?

00NR7,

Ha ha! Yeah, the trade was nice, but it was the other crap I had to do yesterday that wore me out.

Hopefully I will have some good trades today that I can post because all I have to do is trade. No other chores or errands.

Thomas,

I had a 50/50 chance of being right and I just didn't think it was going to reverse. Lucky I suppose.

2009-09-02T20:48:47.555-04:00

Anarco,

As far as I can tell the data is reliable so far. I have not tested it on a fed day, though.

I had to restart the program this morning because I could not get a couple symbols to load, but it worked after the restart.

There are Fib lines. They are configurable, too, just like eSignal. It is in the Drawing Toolbar and looks like an E.

Greytrader, the creator of SpiderScan, is working on an API that will scan TD super quick. It is going to be titties and you might find it useful when he releases it.

Sylvain,

All my charting packages have allowed me to export images pretty easily. Also, I have started using the screen capture "Snipping Tool" built into Vista. It is free and works pretty good.

2009-09-02T20:41:58.917-04:00

Tajir,

You have to make each one a different study for it to work with each line being a different color (as far as I know). I will make a post about it later because the code is super long.

I reconfigured Charlie's code for the OR to better suit my needs.

Tyler

Wow Tyler. Great trade. Weren't you tempted to take partial after the long legged hammer at ORL?

2009-09-02T19:04:33.604-04:00

That is very smart of you Tyler!
I already have Strategy Desk (which I use for scanning) so it seems like a good solution.
If you do not mind, I have a few additional questions:
1. Is the data feed reliable? (as reliable as eSignal).
2. It does not have Fibonacci correct?
Thanks in advance!

You should get Snagit 9 for your chart capture. It is the best capture software out there.

2009-09-02T12:12:29.838-04:00

Hello Tyler,
I believe the lines on the charts are automatic OR with extensions via custom study. Are you using multiple studies to draw each line or calculating all lines in one custom study. The problem I am having is that if using separate studies of ORH and ORL (as shown by stock rookie's blog), I cannot calculate mid point or extensions. And I don't know how to make it all work in one single study. I'll appreciate if you can share your ideas on this.

Thanks

2009-09-02T12:06:49.622-04:00

Hey Anarco,

Thanks! The software is just TD Ameritrade StrategyDesk. The charts are basic and clean.

I like it because I can set it up so that the chart doesn't move with each new bar. Instead, it shows a fixed number of days with the current day empty and it fills in as the day progresses.

I hope that makes sense.

Tyler

Nice trade on COH. Congrats!
If you don't mind, would you share on the new software package that you are using?
Thanks in advance!

Hey BL,

One day I will hopefully be good enough to catch those at the open with a smaller timeframe. Right now, the simpler the better for me. I hope you did well and good luck today.

2009-08-01T16:29:39.145-04:00

Anarco,

I have been scanning Nasdaq and NYSE for the last couple of weeks using the eSignal scanner.

It has been giving me some good results, but I am working on narrowing down the WL everyday because there has been a lot.

Tyler

Hey Tyler~
Are you scanning both naz and sp500? I am also working on improving my scanning parameters.

2009-07-31T09:34:38.554-04:00

Hey Charlie,

Over the last week I have been experimenting with my scanning parameters also.

The most important part of the job is weeding out the bad setups, so I am trying to tighten up my daily WL a little. Lately I have had about 120 stocks per day and it has been overwhelming.

I will let you know what my final parameters are when I figure it out.

Good luck,
Tyler

2009-07-31T09:21:25.929-04:00

I'm going to adjust my scanning parameters so I can catch stocks like this.

I screen out right now ticks with 1 million or less average daily volume, which this was just under it looks, but yesterday, it had 3 million volume which is plenty liquid for day trading.

Nice trade, good luck today.

Thanks Anarco!

2009-07-31T08:10:12.196-04:00

Thanks Anarco!

Welcome back and cool trade!
