This is a chart that I thought you would find interesting. Its a trade style similair to yours. I found it at ttrader/mycharts. http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=15702&u=ctmac&a=ctmac's%20Charts&id=754 Your 1m chart posts are great. You were in some great trades on 10-16...

Do you use Esignal ? If so, how do you set the time and sales to highlight ?

On the T & S note: Watch what the pace and size looks like on a breakout. Of course you'll know in hindsight if the instrument took off for a successful break out, but if it did, remember what the T & S pace/size looked like as it was getting through a resistance level (or down through a...

Awash Thanks for the 1m charts. Now one can really see what you see. Hope you have time to keep the 1m charts posted. Keep up the good work and keep on studying.

When the MACD & TICK give you a signal, are you also looking for the price action for a signal ? In the past, I found myself looking at my indicators a little too much . Now, I have price action and volume on my screen only. When price action looks good for my method, I then "tab" (on...

Awash I looked through your journal near the beginning to see if I could find out what chart(s) timeframe you look at, but didn't see it. Sorry if I missed it: What time frame(s) do you look at and what time frame do you enter from ? I see a lot of comments about seeing divergence on...

Thanks for taking the time and effort to do a journal. Personally, I would find it very interesting if : * the trades were posted real time * charts were posted * your thoughts and feelings at entry - including what you see that is getting you into the trade (like larger...

Whoops. The pattern is called an Avalanche, not a Phoenix. They are the same pattern, but one for longs and one for shorts. This explains it: http://www.tradingfrommainstreet.com/techanalysis.html#4

Here's the 5m chart. The pattern that set up is what Trading From Mainstreet calls a Phoenix. No. I am not affiliated with them at all. I just learned a lot from them. Their web pages explain a Phoenix if you're interested.

Here's an example from today, 10-13 where I passed on what would have been a great short on the 5m, because the 15m looked so bullish. Here's the 15m chart: 5m chart is in the next reply

Picky, picky, OK, maybe not a classic uptrend day like the attached chart, but, the chart that I posted in the original thread is 30m bear flagish and the 5m is uptrending all day after a morning reversal http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=346619 The point is, like...

What's the average daily volume ?

Thanks for the insight Cutten.

When trading intraday, meaning going flat at the end of the day and looking for set ups that have time and room to play out within the day, how do larger timeframes guide your trading decision ? For some examples: * 60m has just created a double top and is trending down but the 5m chart...

Wow. I didn't even know about this ONEQ. Where have I been ? Too much intraday studying of the futures I guess. Great to have another instrument available. By the way, when your posts include charts embedded into the message, they are difficult to read because they extend horizontally off...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents to let you know that I too enjoy this thread. I switched to trading only ETF's a couple of months ago in my IRA accounts. The reasoning is the same as what you've already mentioned. Mainly though, no obliterations that stocks can have and the smoothness. Can't...

Information Society. Anyone remember (or know of) this band ? Elite Trader could be viewed as just that, an Information Society that you could pull out some useful information now and then. Whether a 15 year profitable trader posts some info or a newbie posts some info, the info posted...

I love the Ignore list.

On a weekly chart, KKD is in an uptrend pullback to support, although it is a fairly sharp pullback.

I traded off of the 1m chart for a long time trading reversals with divergence. I got killed because I was going against larger timeframe trend. Then I realized that I could find small timeframe divergence reversals that were actually WITH larger time frame trend and my trading has...
