That's awesome. I still read all your all posts between you and Darcy and NC Trader. Have been so helpful and given me confidence that I lack. I have loved looking over old trades that ya'll did and studying them. I too trade shorter charts and am tweaking a few things but trade based on Gary's stuff and Darcy's Etrade. I have recently been studying various candle patterns and that has helpeby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I don't care what people say as I think it works. I have based many trades off of it. Now I don't always do the weekly option, but several last week worked. You do need to be able to apply all the information to what you know however. I have had the most success with this and I like short chart trades better just because I'm not patient. I still screw up and do poor trades though but they arby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
This morning....

Had hoped it would go more but I took profits as I lost yesterday. Of course they put more to the option as soon as I sold....Had an E on everything....by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Would anyone mind sharing their workspace for this. I have everything set up in tradestation and have loved it, but this is so cool looking I would love to try it in think or swim. I don't know much about code though. Thanks.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Just saw that Obviously I didn't check that one....by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Thanks so much y'all. I am going to go back and pull the charts up now that the weekend is here. Overall it was a good week for aside from that trade. Did a nflx put yest that worked great and then a tsla put today that worked as well. I will eventually dabble with real trades. Life is a little stressful for my husband at work and that tends to seep over into life when I trade and feeling like Iby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
So how would you know the gap wouldn't hold until it has already backed up? In my practice I got in at 10 but by 10:23 when i exited it was ugly....I know based on the first 55 candle of the day that that is bad, but I was already in the trade. Just looking for advice in how to avoid this in the future. Initially the adx was strong on the 21 and 34 and you had an E on the 10 and 21 so what didby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I have been going over all your past trades trying to get a feel for the E and such and I am sooo appreciative that you have been posting them here. It has helped tremendously and I have gotten out my candlestick book and went over the top 12 signals as you suggested. Can't say it has made a difference yet as I am still learning some of these, but I have printed pictures of what the trades shoulby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I will tackle this next weekend. I don't want to screw up my charts this week since I have been studying past plays and am ready for some good trades. I get so inspired seeing others good trades and I have been doing a lot of looking at successful past trades and seeing how the charts looked so I will study this next weekend. Thanks again for your kind help. shannonby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Thanks ya'll. I will leave it be for now and just keep checking on think or swim for earnings. It's worked fine in the past.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Just a quick question....Did you have to install the visual c++ redistributable package and if so do you do the x86? That's what I did but I can't get this to work. Just making sure I did the first step right....I have a 64 bit computer. thanksby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I haven't had time to work on it, but I will go back and start from scratch. Thanks so much. I just assumed I would be able to download everything without having to change everything but that wasn't the case. But again, I busy all during the day doing school and at night I just want to look at the charts without having to figure it out. Thanks again ya'll.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I got solidus reinstalled but the only problem I have now is that the Christmas cross is over the candles instead of behind it. It does that for the moving averages as well. I am sure there is a simple fix and if someone would be as kind to tell me how to fix this I would be forever grateful. Thanks shannonby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
One more question, I have solidus downloaded and I tried to reinstall it in hopes it would work with 9.5 but I can't figure out how to unistall it and reinstall it. I know ya'll are rolling your eyes but I hate trying to figure out tradestation stuff. It tells me in 9.5 it isn't verified so I can't use it. How do you verify it. I have it working in 9.1 but really wanted to be able to use 9.5by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I will try reloading solidus. Candles are ugly and the Xmas cross is over candles instead of behind them on 9.5. I hope it doesn't mess up 9.1 since that is what I have been using.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Did anyone get the outlined candles to work in the 9.5 version? I reverted back to 9.1 b/c I couldn't get it back to work but never asked anyone here if they got it to work. I am still using the Solidus version in the 9.1. I like the black and white candles and can't control the color on the 9.5 version. Did anyone else get it to work?by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I agree think or swim platform is best hands down. But I have a Tradestation account as well because of their charts. Charting is great as said before with with Tradestation but trading platform is indeed clunky.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Thanks so much for posting this. You continue to encourage and inspire us to keep at it in hopes we can duplicate your success. I think we can all agree that you are quite generous with your postings and it keeps us going when we have bad months. This chart is a great example and thank you Robert for getting it posted.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I don't even like practicing with them. But that is what I need to do as well. I try not to wonder how they can't get their act together like think or swim and have an easy platform for options. I still have 1/2 my money with think or swim and still tend to trade with them even though it is cheaper with tradestation. Now I absolutely love their platform for the charts. No complaints there atby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Nflx options seem so inflated to me right now because googl are so much cheaper for the same month in time and googl is a more expensive stock. The indicators being so high on the short charts kept me from a nflx trade although I really wish I had gotten in....by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
If only their phone app was as good as think or swims. Their ipad app lets you buy stuff but doesn't label the option as a monthly or weekly--you can't adjust to see volume or anything like that. All you can see is the bid ask unless I'm missing something. It was definitely a good suggestion. Apparently they are a little behind compared to think or swims app.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I customized both the optionstation pro and the trademanager, but think or swim is still easier imo....I'm sure I'll get used to it. I definitely like the charts...by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
I have just started practicing with the actual buying and selling of options and while it is integrated, I really miss the easy platform of think or swim. Does anyone else find it cumbersome? Where do you normally place your orders for those of you who use tradestation? Placing a market order seems easy but typically I do a limit order. I have tried optionstation which is fine but they don'tby bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Thanks for that info about the fast and accurate bars in QC. I always had mine at the accurate setting. With qcharts I liked having all sessions marked on 1 chart just so in the morning I could easily see what the stocks were doing. Is there a way to do that with tradestation? I don't know if that makes sense but I thought I would ask.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Yes that is my daily chart. I have requested the 9.5 update so that I can have the watermark stamp. I can't see the timeframes and it is bugging me. I could widen them, but I only have 2 screens and am trying to get as much as I can into my charts. Do you have the gap on the right like I do NCT? Just curious. I would like it gone.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion

I'll take another picture when dinner is done. When I try to set the bars on space to right for anything less than 3 I can't see the green part of the cc. It totally disappears and gives me this message in events log: Tried to reference more bars than allowed by the current bars to the right setting.....by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
thanks so much. The tutorial was just what I needed.by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
Do you see the gap on the right--because of the CC it is requiring 3 blank bars on the right. Otherwise, the green part of the CC won't show up. Do any of you know how to not have the gap there on the right? It is driving me crazy. I know I can get used to it, but I wondered if you knew how to get rid of it?by bugabiga - Trading Discussion
