[RT] Low Cost Day Trading Method/System

While I am still trading almost always in the market mechanical S&P 
and Nas system, I also wanted to develop a low to no cost day trading 
system.

1. You can use Lycos to get free Nas and S&P live charts. For $9.95 
per month you can a lot more.I like being frugal.

2. The Lycos has built in indicaters and my favorite is the moving 
average volume.

3. I trade off of 1 min. , 10 min. and 60 min. bars looking for 
concurrence and I started with a $10,000 test account.I also know my 
own S&R's as a backdrop and posted these calculations this week.

4. I also check for breadth [Advancers vs Decliners]and the simpest 
way for me is to just go to the Oddball site hourly and see that 
status.If red, decliners beat advancers. If green vice versa. I 
disregard the Oddball numbers.

5. I trade with no stops because I like my entries and am not adverse 
to averaging up or down one time as long as I do not take 2 
overnight.I have taken as low as a 1 point profit and as high as a 20 
point profit. Most fall in between and are assesed on my tolerance 
which is a personal thing.

Over the last 2 weeks I am up 50 e-mini points and have not taken any 
losses that were not reversed out the next day.I know that is not a 
track record but it is a start. It is just retirement fun. Sometimes 
Lycos is down and when that happens I take the day off rather than 
fight Lycos.I may just be lucky so far.

Frankly, Hurst-Fourier, Pitchforks, Fibs, Ben's proprietary 
indicater, Astrology and other things posted here have been helpful 
to me from a perspective standpoint.There seems to be a little bit of 
luck or "feel" in all of these too.

Once again, this may all be luck but so much of what I see posted is 
the result of conjecture or educated guesses, I thought it was time 
to share this.

No doubt this can be modified or bettered by the geniuses on this 
list, but so far this simple little "system" has been fun for me. I 
trade until about 1:30PM and then go smoke a good cigar [I do not 
inhale,I just like the taste]and have a long swim... Hans Selye's 
answer to stress.

Sincerely,

John
