snoball,

Yes the Dow futures using Interactive Brokers (www.interactivebrokers.com).

I use a number of indicators. But am basically looking to buy low and sell high (aren't we all)!!!

I have an automatic trading system I developed in VBA running with excel. Which connects onto the interactive brokers Trader Work Station and does the business for me. It uses RSI 5 mins and 2 minute highs/lows for re-trace entry. After locking onto the low and high of the day so far and will only trade off those.

Nice thing is it works while I am away and is not subject to emotion, however it is not as clever as I can be!!! It doesn't trade every day but looks for at least 40 points.

I also trade manually off tops and bottoms for a few points (say 10 ish) - that's my +17 from the last few days.

So it is all a bit non standard.

REgards,

JP

Link updated for the dow charts which is kindly given to us by Lee and for free to use by all.not many people like him on this planet.
Bravo mon ami.

harlosh:
Try the link on where it says DOW JONES@ LIVECHARTS above then on your left hand side click home and it has all types of indexes,fx,oil,comm etc listed click on one of these go to the chart, once a candle chart appears left or right click the mouse and a sub menu will appear -click on pnf etc.The good thing is that you dont need to change charts as you can get others wile in the same chart window.

Afternoon everybody:
Ym opens in about 45mins.
I think we will have a slightly higher open than lower prices all along the way as i feel today looks like a very negative day -then again i could be wrong but this is my opinion -yours may be different.

good short and long on dow so far.

Very interesting JonP.
I didn't understand a word. But I can understand you not wanting to let the cat out of the bag if it works.
I would love to know more though.
The tops & bottoms idea sounds interesting. I will look at that.

Have you read 'Zen in the markets' by E.A. Toppel?
He uses an automatic trading system in order to eliminate 'emotion'.

Afternoon all:
The BOE raised rates by 25bps to 4.75 Ecb unchanged at 2.00 and the Us jobless figures down by 17k (not sure but hardly a marked difference).
So what does the Ym hold for us today?
My feeling is that its going sideways mst of the day and may bounce from say yesterdays lows after 7pm tonight. I think we will see higher prices today and tomorrow.
Thats my view -yours may be different.

My idea for the Snp500 for today is as follows:

Buy at:
1092.26
1089.75

sell at
1100
1103.75
1106.75

lets see how it pans out.

Afternoon Zarif

Harlosh I have found you. I used to trade the dow. Good fun but I spent too much time at the pc
e mail sent by return. Let me know if you don`t get it

ok harlosh got it. you can delete

I am only dow watching for a bit as the dow is a brill TA practice tool. Did anyone spot the + divergence between RSI and dow on the 5 min from approx 5pm to now

I am a happy bunny today as managed to bag a total of 189 pts on the dow.
Yipee - a good weekend is in order.

Don't forget the Feds.

Afternoon all:
Data Coming out Us at 1.30pm.
Think like a crook and maybe they can turn around from yesterday is my opinion.I think we will have "pop and Drop" or Drop and pop.Watch the action and trade what you see. My outlook is to short the rallies and scalp my way.

Afternoon all:
Sea of red today on the European bourses and Ftse.
So what are we going to do on the Ym today?
I think my views is Gap Up (or Down) open and then head lowe till around 12am Est and rally up towards close 9could be the other way round).This is my view and it can change with the wind.
Snp probably going to play Ball from -3 to +3 (maybe +5) level.
good luck trade what the market is doing.Also the Big decision fron greenbum tomorrow.
