US Intraday Trading Sept 03

Rosso - Cheers for the kind comments re my site. I've added a little link to Rosso's Road on the trading page as a token thank you. I'd love to have the time to help tart your site up a touch, but then again there's a lot to be said for a clean, fast loading page such as yours, where the information is not obscured by lots of fancy Flash and other mildly pointless distractions. But, as I'm sure you know, a copy of FrontPage or Dreamweaver would be a good starting point if you wanted to gloss it up a bit - you don't need to know much about HTML to get started. The main theme of mine is done with a cascading style sheet which saves having to do each page from scratch - very handy. Also lots of layers to ensure things appear in the right place.

Sean - Yes, it would be a rare occurence indeed to snare a horned quadruped from the waters around New Zealand! I'm afraid I've no idea how the bearded "mermaid" (a mildly unhinged but very affable German who owns the boat) managed such a feat but the evidence is undeniable! Perhaps he visited "Cheeses of Nazareth" and acquired a particularly strong Stilton with which to entice the poor old goat to the surface. Probably wise not to speculate further eh...

My system - Seems to be working rather well on the COMPX at the moment (next few signals will doubtless be demoralising whipsaws then ), but I have realised that as the trading day is only 6.5 hours long that using hourly bars can occasionally give false signals as it did on the S&P today (a sell signal was generated on the closing bar which represents only 30 mins of data) I don't know how to circumvent this problem, though an imperfect solution would be to use 30 min bars and double the EMAs, perhaps. Any ideas anyone?

Frugi, thanks for the reply.

Today I was punished by the Deity for the Cheeses of Nazareth ditty, by virtue of the fact that every paper trade I made today - bar a couple of small profits - turned instantly to stone.

Ghastly day's trading with a net loss today of about ten points. However, the last couple of days were okay and I am still ahead. I can only imagine what it must be like to have a day like this when you are using real cash.

When I had my own pub in Barham, south of Canterbury, I employed a couple from New Zealand to assist in the management. They worked hard and played hard; entirely reliable and they had a great sense of fun. All my old dears at lunchtime - some of whom were titled ladies - were astonished at being called 'mate' instead of madam! They got used to it though!

The quadruped? Under the circumstances and given the geographical location, safer at sea than ashore I reckon!

Best wishes,
Sean
