Go to your boss, and tell him that he needs to reduce either your hours or your responsibilities. Let him know you are getting a bit burned out, and he needs to off load to someone else for a while. Many times a leader will take advantage of you unless you set ground rules, and ensure both you and he stick to them.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion

I have one question. What is the Plot line 25 used for?by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
I use Think Or Swim on Windows 7. It works great. I try to set mine up to look as much like Q-charts as I can, since that is what I was used to. Yes it is free. All you do is setup an account much the same as you did when you opened your Optionsxpress account. You don't have to fund the account to use TOS. Without funding the account you have realtime level 1 quotes.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion

I did the same thing you did Rookie. However.... When I started trading real money. I jump into a postion toooo fast. I was trying to buy a PUT, and didn't notice that I had bought the CALL option instead. I didn't notice it for about 4 hours, and by then the market had closed for the day. I was sweating big bullets. The real funny part is I actually made money on the trade. Here I wasby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Lol. Well I suppose Robert's comment answers that :-) Thanks for the input fellas. Have a great day, and enjoy the snow! There is more coming.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Does anyone know how to move the candle sticks to the front of all the indicators? The way it is now the all the indicators seem to lay on top of the candle sticks. I'd like the Candesticks on top of all the indicators. I seem to remember that is how they are in Qcharts. Is this possible? Rby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Seems like I read somewhere it is gonna split in early April.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Yeah I was reading up on that eariler. Seems there was a dispute which was settled out of court with other shareholders. As they were talking about the different classes of stock, I got the feeling that this will NOT be a "normal" split. The MM is getting on my last nerve, cause they keep jumping the price around so much at the open. Then it just falls all day. A few dollars is nby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
No, I haven't heard of any split rumors for GOOG.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Is it me, or is the Market Maker on GOOG refusing to lower prices. It seems crazy with all these huge gaps in price at the open, and every day it sells off big time. It just seems as if the MM is refusing to allow the price to continue to slide lower. On the first day I thought he was trying to make people "vomit" up there stocks, but now I just think the guy(s) is crazy. What you gby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Hi Robert, I really like your current color setup. Mine is more of a Carolina blue background at the moment. I change mine up from time to time just to keep it looking fresh. I may give your color scheme a go. Might I make one suggestion though. Make the green lines just a bit brighter so they have the same "pop" and intensity as the red lines. To me that will sort of bring outby RichieRick - Trading Discussion

Him guessing they had him back up his workspace manually, then clean everything out, and install fresh. Don't forget!!! Once you restore from a manual back up, you will need to load it again once TOS starts up. That way you will see the backup you just restored.by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Here is what I would try... You may have more than one version of Java, and the version that comes with TOS is conflicting somehow. Is this a work PC, or your own personal workstation? anywho, Get an uninstaller tool like Revo Uninstaller. Use that to do the uninstall. That will look for and clean up stuff left on your operating system by the program, and Windows. I'd also uninstall Jaby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
When you say, "not working". What exactly do you mean? Are you NOT able to login? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling TOS? I use a free program to uninstall stuff and clean up anything left behind. It's called Revo Uninstaller. Try using that to uninstall TOS, and then download the latest version, and try a fresh install. Before that though, you should back up yoby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Roger that, I'll give it a shot. Ya know, that's kinda funny. I was just reading about "addchartbubbles" Lastnight :-)by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Believe it or not, I understood all of that :-) Thanks for you insight on this. I'm looking for a way to prevent the zigzag AW from displaying a line during the unconfirmed period. It will either give a red bubble or a green one, no white bubble. If for example it draws and line with a green bubble, and at some point in the future it takes back the line and attempts to redraw it, this tiby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Hi Robert, I know this isn't high on your priorities, and thanks for your assistance up to this point. Concerning the Auto Wave though, I'm still seeing it draw the lines during the "unconfirmed" or "undefined" portion. I've try several ways to modify your script to NOT draw the line during the unconfirmed or undefined portion. If it takes the line back and redraws iby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Thanks Dan, It appears that both Qcharts and TOS did exactly the same thing. Really nice to know. In the Think or Swim platform Robert has an "ATR REVERSALFACTOR" set at 3.2. If however, I lower that to 2.7 it eliminates that "redraw" from happening, and just counts the pull back as a separate "down" trend of its own. Which is fine, I suppose. It only doesby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Hi Dan, The image is not showing. Go here, and read Robert's instructions. The steps are in the 7th post in the thread. That's how I did it:-)by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
This next question is for TCB and Dan. Since you assisted Robert with a couple of screenshots. If you will look back at the earlier image Robert posted, it shows a value of 119.7 on the uptrend that ended on Dec 2nd. My question is; did the auto wave redraw the line on or about Dec 20th?? Or did is possibly remove the 119.7 line indicating that the "up" was not over yet? The reasby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Lol!!!! I laughed out loud from your comment concerning your "motivation". I fully understand what you mean :-) Thanks for the update!!! It appears "at first glance anyways" that it is gonna work just fine. Of course it will need more testing and evaluation :-) Thanks again... you ROCK!!!by RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Concerning the Auto Wave indicator for TOS. Is there a way to tell it NOT to show the "undefined" section? Also, could there be a way to tell the script NOT to show the line until the trend is either ended or reversed? It's kinda funny because the system seems to know when the change the color of the line, so it must know when the "trend" has ended or else it would just keeby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
I am a current/former WSB student!!! Of course he never discussed them. That being said, I can't afford (right now) to use the full options on a stock like google or amazon, so the "mini" option would be my ONLY choice if I wanted to get into a trade on one of those high dollar stock that move so well. Which is why I asked on this forum in the first place. Besides, I'm just practiby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
Thanks Dan, and Fireman for you input. I found these numbers when I was looking at options within the TOS platform. I assumed it was indeed some sort of mini option, which is fine I suppose. As for the lower priced stocks... I enjoy them as well, but I've noticed that there volatility is much lower than I have the patience for :-) Yes they do move well, but it "feels" sooo sllooby RichieRick - Trading Discussion
If those $30 stocks moved like the big money stocks I would love it. Heck, we all would I suppose:-) It's ok that no one responded right away. It was an unusual question, and I know everyone is really busy.
