i use dmi in my trading. I filter price more by stocks that are trading above their 200sma. This puts the odds even more in your favor.

The stocks you scan for will be based on how you trade. I use trade-ideas.com and I tend to look for stocks with an RSI at +70 and -30 on 60 min charts, and stocks with ADX of +30.

Well how is anyone supposed to trade profitably if we're just guessing with 50% accuracy about a trends direction? Why not just flip a coin then.

This is what I don't understand about trends, as originally explained, but here's a chart showing my confusion. Price breaks the swing low in the trend. This is called a "change in behavior" when we say to ourselves "ok..maybe price is done going up and we should look for shorts". But if I...

The closest major swing low on NFLX looks like 325..? Fair to say this is still "bullish"? My problem is I see things as a "snow ball effect" in terms of trends. Meaning everything gets moving on smaller time frames and develop into big trends. How do we know this isn't a full blown...

1. I thought only retail firms like thinkorswim make their many on commission. I though props took a % of profits traders made? 2. Why would they bet against profitable readers, especially ones they took time to train?

I have yet to see a prop firm that lets a trader use the firms money to trade but does NOT require that they are "active" aka day traders. This is very annoying to me. I'd like to substantially grow my capital, but I can't seem to find a firm that will give me that chance.

I use a 1min, 15min, 1hr and daily when day trading. I trade gaps so the first hour is very important so I take all my trades off the 1min, however before I decide what direction to take, I'll look at the 15min to see what kind of candles are forming and how bullish or bearish the chart...

I've been away from this forum for little over a year. What have I missed?

Maybe your having a hard time because your trading on 1 and 5min charts??... try trading a time frame thats not so volatile.
