Hi, Been using Verizon for the last 2 years. Very solid connection. However, I found that by attaching the Wilson Trucker's Antennae to my Sierra air card the reception became many times better. Well worth it. Shel

Hi Joe & Everyone, Hope it's ok to post a chart of today's action. Your Gartley pattern immediately got me to thinking about the inverted head & shoulders I saw today. Interesting how price action can be called different names but plays out the same. This pattern also showed up in NQ which is...

Hi All, Great thread started by jjrvat. He suggests using a 240 WMA as a 'line in the sand' for deciding on longs or shorts. I've found the 100 WMA works really well for me. An old friend you might say. Here are my 2 morning trades:

Measured Move Complete See chart below. This is also what Joe has been talking about for weeks. Shel

Thanks Joe! I enjoy trading the NQ and use levels derived from Market Profile. Your levels for ES are so very accurate can't wait to see how they work for NQ. Weekend seminar??? Thanks for all your good work, Shel

Port1385, I've watched more than a hundred of Robert's videos starting from the early part of the year. Sorry, but I just don't care to view any more. Perhaps Robert appeals to the newer trader and Joe to the more seasoned among us. Joe comes across as a real trader with honesty and...

I live in S. Florida and expect Ike to slam us next week. Lucky me, I'm a day trader with no overnight positions. Wasn't it great to be short today? This is the forecast I watch: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml So, I'm making plans to leave but this could be bigger than Andrew in 1992...

Steve, Think I understand what 'singles' are; Basically an area where price has spent very little time. However, trading them is a new concept for me. Could you elaborate and possibly post an example? Thanks so much, Shel

Steve46, This is great. Thank you for sharing your insight; Most helpful, a new way to look at the market for me. Already using daily and weekly pivots but I'll have another look at market profile. Questions: What market hours do you use to calculate M.P. for U.S. stock indexes? RTH? Or...

Hi All, Thank you Susana for starting this thread. I'll throw out a chart of the NQ last Friday AM. Any and all comments welcome. 3 short trades, 2 winners 1 breakeven. The breakeven trade is the second one; as price almost hit the target, stop was lowered to the entry and consequently hit...

Hi All, I often switch from simulation mode to real trading with ButtonTrader and can detect no difference in the fills. Limit orders seem to take forever to get filled whether it's real time or sim. My stop limit entries sometimes get run through in sim mode just as in real trading. BTW...

Hi Everyone, hope you're enjoying the summer. Today's morning NQ chart and trades. My plan goes something like this: Going (usually) with the slope of the 100 WMA; trade long at a 3 bar reversal after a higher high, trade short at a 3 bar reversal after a lower high. However, always...

jjrvat, Thank you for the thoughtful commentary. This is a work in progress for me. 3BR (3 Bar Reversal) watching for HH, HL, etc. seems to work well for me getting into the trend at the end of a retracement. Below is a chart from yesterday morning showing the perfect trades. I took a couple...

Yes. Been using constant volume bars for about a year now and really like them. However, also keep an eye on some minute charts but trades are done with the volume bars. On NQ 1-2k works well for me as does about 5k on ES. What's your experience? Shel

Oooops! Sorry, you got the wrong guy. Sheldon is in support at Ensign. I happen to have the same first name but I'm located in Florida. Oh, much warmer here. Perhaps the issue is that I require very little from charting software: Price bars, couple of moving averages. And, that's about it. I...
