    Divergence Trade Thread

    With my retirement account I trade divergence reversals almost exclusively. (weekly and daily timeframes) I do a scan for stocks with 35 or above on the ADX, as well as other parameters not relevant to this discussion, because I want a trend in place that the stock can reverse from. To me...

    Divergence Trade Thread

    Here's some observations I have made trading 5m charts with divergence. This may be very basic, but it is a valuable guide for my trading. A 5m chart double top/bottom could be the beginning of a countertrend pullback in a larger timeframe thus trading against the trend. or It could be...

    OOOPS. I said 3, 14, 1. A little dyslexia this morning. Sorry.

    Divergence Trade Thread

    I used to use momentum 20 period for my divergence but I switched a while ago to the MACD 3,14,1 that VisionTrader uses as I see it being very similair to the MOM 20 per., yet a lot smoother.

    Divergence Trade Thread

    I think it would still be beneficial to post charts for all trades, even if they are close to real time or after the fact.

    Liquid currency futures

    In the desire to keep my trading choice open, or , plentiful, I am looking into Forex. I trade ES/NQ and have just added 10 and 5 year Tnote and 30YR bond to watch list for my set ups. Now I would like to add some Forex. I've been doing some research and found the pairs interesting. I've...

    How much profit makes daytrading worth it (as your only job)?

    As far as stress goes, each to their own tolerance, however: If you have a proven trading system, then I would assume that the stress level goes down being that you know that sometimes it wins and sometimes it loses, but in the end (since it is a proven winning system) you know that you'll...

    Chronicles of an Idiot

    I like your post. I just quoted this portion of it to understand a couple of points you made: 'the longer the point target, the more pain you will suffer" is understandable. When you say , 4 point target is good, what do you mean ? Good on VT's system ? Good for your system ? Good...

    daytrading

    Some humble advice from someone who was where you are now, 6 months ago: I am floating between profitability and non-profitability currently. Almost there. I can smell it. The best advice I can give is, find a method before using real money. "Find a method" means a lot. Books are...

    Euro Stoxx 50

    IB is great for the commissions. Sierra is great for charting. However, I don't think that you can get any historical data from Sierra charts. Also, there is a cancellation fee on the Eurex. ESTX is a great future to trade. Not too fast, not too slow and makes some 'perty chart...

    Emini divergence journal

    Question for ya no-pm: Do you think that this same method could be traded with all signals the same EXCEPT, using double bottoms/tops with divergence instead of the few bar pullback with divergence ? Thanks.

    Here's what we're looking for to make changes: This is the Bollinger band "edit studies"

    eSignal and Missing Studies

    Thanks, but, this does not allow for changes. It brings up some kind of input boxes, which I've tried sticking numbers into but it doesn't do anything. Like I mentioned earlier, a box should come up like the one that comes up when you go to "edit studies" on Bollinger bands where everything is...
