Re-start is too much of a hassle. Takes about 40 minutes to bring everything down then back up. It's an indelicate solution anyway. Shouldn't have to do that. This machine is up about 6 days a week. Never had this problem before. aNN is shorthand for Neural Net. Double Top on the spoo at 1403....I'm Long looking to get out by noon hour, hope the DT breaks first. Hafta to finish this in a few minutes.......

< I don't see why what I've learned on Index trading shouldn't transfer> I just presume each market is different. Liquidity on the DJ prevents things that you might do on the SP for example. As far as the use of similar indicators I just do not use them much on Index Trading either, if you think about it. I use pattern techniques and I only use the indicators as filters, not trade signals. < es0z 60min chart with a 5-RSI the divergence into the 24th was a clear preliminary signal for the drop> Don't follow you. 60 minute on 24 hours or on RTH only? Either way the signal was way too early, it peaked almost at noon on the 24th. Also, why a 60 minute chart? < Substitute the CD0Z chart> I just a different style. I would not use the RSI for a trade signal on the spoo so........ I find I'm just too busy. If I do not have all my trades set up before the Open then I just do not trade the ones I have not finished. Then, except for the SP, I just have price points. Using those I set alerts and when the market triggers the alert I evaluate and make the trade or back off. The SP I trade off time and pattern. I could set up the other markets for time and pattern easily enough but it's a lot more work than I choose to take on at this time. SI I never trade, except for a brief stab back in the mid-80s. Wait, is that symbol SI or AG?
