    Technical Indicators for Newbies

    I would learn patterns first. Then apply whatever indicator you see that fits the way you trade. The patterns are more reliable than the indicators in my opinion. TG

    Need help, I'm new to trading...

    Ensign has a play back feature that is pretty good, also within the platform there is a sim account feature. I think you can play it back at normal speed or make it faster, i havent had ensign for awhile. I know it works really good for the futures like the ES, but i never tried it with stocks...

    I'm confused the more charts I look at

    For swing trading i use a weekly, daily then a 60 or 30 min for the entry. I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 30 min for a swing trade. I consider a swing trade from 2 days to 2 weeks or maybe even longer. Is this what you are talking about with your swing trading? A 2 min chart or a...

    anyone using this method?

    What charting platform is that? i use esignal and the renko bars don't seem to work very well on esignal. Does it look like that in real time? My renko bars look good after the fact , but in real time they don't look right. What is the best charting for Renko? TG

    Timing

    The good thing about that trade with timing is the stops are small. 1 bar doji stop. When those do play out the risk / reward is really good. Timing is hard. I look forward to your next post. TG

    POLL: Are Fibonacci numbers a worthless or expensive crutch when it comes to trading?

    Oh wait , maybe that was a one time deal with that chart , was it? Follow the chart it is on every move. Get your facts straight before bashing someone. TG

    POLL: Are Fibonacci numbers a worthless or expensive crutch when it comes to trading?

    Thomas jackson WTF, As i read through the post i have to wonder why you would be so bashing of ones opinion's. Maybe you have had a bad experience with fibs but that in no way makes you the final decision maker on the subject. Or maybe it does and i just don't know who you are. I am in...

    Serious Advice....

    I have been a reader of ET for many years. I have learned very little if anything at all from most of the post. Some are worth while but they are usually bashing other people with no good reason. I do not feel ripped off at all. What is in the videos is the most important part. The...

    Serious Advice....

    Anti, Unless the data is that different from your platform i am not sure why you persist that it is a 14. It is a 16 simple changing color on a 20 simple. You sound pretty set that it is a 14, but here is a chart with a 14 added to it (the blue line). Why would i lie about what the moving...

    Serious Advice....

    The ma is a 16 changing color based on 20 ma. the indicator helps me to not short a green bar or go long a red bar. It helps me , so to each is own. I tried many things for years and would always look back on the chart and think why did i just do this or that after the fact. So having the bars...

    Hi Rj I have been trading for 15 years. I use www.eminischool.com system. Not sure what you trade but you can PM me anytime with questions and i will try and help you. If you start with 5k i would trade the NQ not the ES if you are going to trade futures. Or use options to swing trade...

    Lower than average starting funds...

    Try looking at the NQ' . Less emotional with a small account. ES is probably too big for a 5k account. Just my thoughts. TG

    Is this a Gartley?

    hi Greg, This is not the best example because this bearish gartely happened at the top of the up move. So looking at the chart the bigger move is up and then there was a bearish gartely to end that move then start the re trace of the up move. There are two ways to get the targets #1. Draw...

    50% retracements

    I agree with da-net. The fib re trace zones are there to confirm if the prior move was real or not meaning; if there is a impulse up at some point it will re trace the up move (it wont go straight up) If the price holds at a fib support the chances of it extending the prior impulse move is...
