Does anyone remember when John Roth from Nortel was featured in Time (Europe) and Forbes in Dec 2000?  When did Nortel burst the first time?  Shortly thereafter I'm sure.

SRS swing strategy nice

Oh definitely - I'm trying to keep myself mentally prepared for 40% to 50% of the trades being losing ones, since that is the record over time (with the profit from the winners exceeding the losses from the losers, of course).

I've been playing this strategy for the last two weeks now and it has been fanastic!  I keep expecting the next trade to be a losing one (just to prepare myself).  I'm still trying to not let myself get too excited. 

The entries have been great these past two weeks because they've been getting you into the right side of a trade the day before a larger move happens.

Great system Matt!

I sometimes check this guys website for some ideas on picks for the small frys:

He's a fundamentals guy but a lot of the time his picks look great technically.  He also has a blog on stockhouse.

Sorry, I was incorrect.  It triggered at 2:00 (at the opening trade of the 2:15 bar).

I'm with you Bullau.  When I was in school getting my microbiology degree, we were warned that we were due for a really bad pandemic at any time.  It's Mother Nature's way of weeding out the population.  I definitely hope the health care industry can come out with enough vaccine to take care of the whole population but from what I have heard, there may only be enough to vaccinate the workers on the front line for now.  I am definitely an optimist by nature but this possible pandemic has me a little nervous as well.

Ninja with new swing system

Posted by sporopat on 10th of Aug 2009 at 11:54 am

Thanks bkout3.  I was having problems figuring out how to do it too.  I don't know code either and only know how to set things up using the Wizard.  Your solution seems like a good one.  I can definitely handle setting up the three separate strategies.  You're right though, the TS people must be roaring!!  Unfortunately, Ninja is my only option Frown.

Crazy market!  I think I am just going to sit back and only play the mechanicals whenever they trigger.  I'm not good with this tug of war stuff.

Starting to break down.

I was thinking the same thing.  The banks and real estate are remaining pretty strong while the SPX is down 8 1/2 points. 

Maybe it means we have more upside before a larger more meaningful correction?

Toggle is better

I agree as well.  It is very easy to miss other people's comments if they comment on posts that are down the page or on a previous page. 

I really liked the toggle system.

So True!

Don't take it too hard

Don't take it too hard Matt.  It will just take everyone some time to get used to it.  I'm still getting used to navigating around but I think it looks fantastic and very professional.  I know I am not alone in appreciating all the hard work you put into the site and all the improvements you make on an ongoing basis!

Here is a link to the Ninja webinar I found really helpful. 

http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/events_onlinetrading_ninjascript.htm

Thanks for all the PM's from my fellow Canucks!   The idea of doing it is way more daunting then actually doing it.  Just go for it!  Start by surfing the Ninja and IB sites.  You can find out 95% of all the info you need there.  The other 5%, I'd be happy to help you with!

Maybe if there are enough of us using Ninja (because we aren't able to open Tradestation accounts), just maybe Matt and Steve will provide a few Ninjascript programs in the premium content section after he starts offering the Tradestation code???  (PLEASE!)
