4. I was also, at one time, a highly rated chess player-- no longer to be sure.

I have tested my ideas in paper trading, and my performance is consistently superior to my real-world trading.

I should also note that my results with Think or Swim since last year are literally zero.

On the other hand, with Vanguard's quiet grandpa technologically inferior interface, I reached over 40% in the first five and a half months of 2011.

I think some of my problem with TOS is that it overwhelms me sensually-- too much information and no real capacity, it appears, to reduce the static/noise.

Of course there are many angles from which to ponder such problems. Knowing I'm at wit's end gives me good reason to turn to a robot. Unfortunately, the robot closed me out of a good trade and told me to sit tight at the low end of a market!

many thanks,
Pascal or Billy,

I am trying to get an understanding as to how the 20 DMF buy signal relates to the sector tables. The sector table currently shows only one sector, the jewlery sector, with a plus sign, meaning that it is the only buy candidate at the moment. On the other hand the 20 DMF is giving us a signal to buy the market. On the surface it seems that the 20 DMF is telling us that the market is deeply oversold and that we should buy now; yet, the sector tables do not seem to support this recommendation. Is the 20 DMF merely acting as an overbought/oversold oscillator? Markets can remain oversold for some time and can drop dramtically after major support is breached. Or, is the 20 DMF detecting large player accumulation going under the radar? Your answer will be so helpful?
