In reference to trading the Q's, DIA, SPY & I'll add the OEX - does Gary still recommend trading any of these, or even talk about them? In the early years, he loved the OEX, but the last I heard, he didn't do much with it anymore. Maybe someone that has taken the recent Survival classes can answer?by fencepost - Trading Discussion
I think the rule was to only trade options with big spreads off big charts. You should not trade an option with a big spread off small charts.by fencepost - Trading Discussion
BCT - Did Gary add autowave to his class material or is that something you added on your own? (sorry if that's already been asked) Also, do you have any more big chart trades that you made during the last quarter of the year that you wouldn't mind sharing? The repetition of seeing your entry/exit points is valuable. Thanks very muchby fencepost - Trading Discussion
Does anyone in the group have the setup or know how to setup the FP/HRFP scan on Think or Swim charts? I am a student of Gary & can give some sort of evidence if you need that (in case you may be hesitant due to his indicator settings). I would love to have the scan, but don't have the technical wherewithal to set it up. Thanks very muchby fencepost - Trading Discussion
This may be a dumb question since we're in their forum, but I was just wondering how many of you are using RTT for your trading direction/ideas? I don't see it discussed much. Do you find it worthwhile? I'm assuming most of you have a personal basket of stocks that you look for trades in also. Just wondering how much the RTT trends are used & how much success you've had using them.by fencepost - Trading Discussion
This is true - spoke with a rep recently & he explained the same thing. I guess since the promotion doesn't really help someone who is trading frequently, it would be wise to ask for other perks - can't hurt.by fencepost - Trading Discussion
beachbum - from what I'm reading on your post, you are paying $8/month TOTAL for the Tradestation charting service & real-time data feed? And would be everything needed short of Futures (if I wanted them)?by fencepost - Trading Discussion
I've heard about Strategy Desk in the past also, but I was told by an Ameritrade rep that they are doing away with it later this year, so I didn't want to get started and then have it taken away. I've used TOS some, but it is not user friendly so far. Also, I put in my parameters on the studies - the moving averages & stochRSI appear to be identical to Qcharts, but MACD & DMI are aby fencepost - Trading Discussion
Hey Darcy, Congrats on being a successful trader. That's awesome. I hope you don't mind if I ask questions. -what are E charts? -when you say $2500-3500 is your trading limit, do you mean that is what you use in each trade (same dollar trading)? -are the 55 & 21 the only charts you use -what options do you use - out in time or this month's -what do you trade (a personalby fencepost - Trading Discussion
hello, First of all, thanks to all for sharing info to try to help others. I started the process of switching over to Think or Swim from Qcharts. I wanted to ask, before I go any further, if any of you have tried both TOS & Tradestation & pros/cons of each. I haven't looked at Tradestation yet, but see that several of you have switched there. TOS, so far, seems to be able toby fencepost - Trading Discussion
