R, I enjoyed following the NQ warriors on this thread, and will miss your posts, and reasonings. At least be on the sim, so you won't get too rusty :p I also work full time, and know exactly what you're going through. 15 min bars are minimum, but don't be too put off by the size of the stops...

Thank you very much for your explanation. That was pretty concise, and to the point. Sorry about AMZN, but there's always next time. Schaefer

Very nice! Would you be willing to post some general reasoning as to why you picked those, and the price levels that you were looking for? Thanks. Schaefer

One of the few swing trading journals, and a good one at that on ET. Good luck. Schaefer

Thanks for the funny stuff :D Schaefer

Hi AMT, I live in Ft. Lauderdale, and I'm with you about Miami being a shit hole. Most people up here, do not really consider Miami as part of the USA, anymore. However, in this case, I thank the Miami PD for getting rid of this low life thug for good, and not burdening the tax payers by...

Sierra Charts. Schaefer

I concur. My experience has been exactly, as same as yours. Schaefer

lol...still alive? :p Schaefer

Yes, I witnessed it myself. ES, and NQ gapped down quite nicely Saturday afternoon :p I knew something was wrong, when the charts were moving, but the time and sales didn't show anything. Schaefer Edit: I'm using Ninja 6.5 with Zenfire.

You may want to re-photoshop the charts, as they're showing 1 contract.... I'm not going to get into the time & price, as I'm not sure which time zone you're using, but they sure don't match mine.... Take a look at Rashid's journal; he has the trades blotter clearly posted.... Schaefer

You're welcome :D That's my main anchor chart, most of my decisions are based on the anchor chart. Once the decision has been made, I look at the shorter time frame chart to time the entries/exits etc. So yeah, basically only two charts. Once in a while, I do look at weeklies, and monthlies...

R, sorry to hear...FWIW, your opening analysis was spot on, the execution, of course was a failure, since you did exactly the opposite of your plans. So it's more of an emotional thing, than your trading skills. It's something we all have to battle with, as long as we trade. You're not alone...

Nope, it was fast alright. I had my entry at 1724.25, but never came back to fill me. I did however, catch the next move, "THE WRONG WAY!!!". I was betting long from 1742.75 for the break out, but got stopped out at max stop loss of -4 points...ouch! Being Friday, I suspect the action to...

Congrats on your good trade! We both got in at the same place, almost to the tick :D Schaefer

Hope you got in. Finally broke the trendline from Friday. My system placed my entry at 69.75. Schaefer

R, I would not have gotten in long under 1751, as I'm not a good top, bottom picker :p My PA chart didn't give me a signal to go long until 1754.25. For me, the breach of yesterday's high during pre-market hours was a warning shot across the bow. The problem you're having with moving...

R, mine is NQ volume chart. Again, don't over complicate things with too many lines. I draw my trend lines from either lowest point, or highest point in view, and that's it. The key is to watch the PA, when it gets near those areas. It will tell you everything you need to know. Schaefer

R, sorry to hear about your grief. The others have already pointed out, that you're over analyzing things a bit. I've looked at your charts, but have no idea where you're getting that extremely short bias. I've attached mine. That trend line was drawn since Friday. I'm not taking any shorts...

Tough crowd :eek: ... :p Schaefer
