I traded like I have a brain today !!!! Just did the Sim, but made about 30 NQ points. That's good for me, especially on Fridays, which were my arch-nemesis. I don't what the deal is with me, but some days it seems easy and I can see everything clearly. Other days I just feel confused...

I am one helluva trader looking at the chart after the trading day is over.................It's so easy !!! I see all the great entries, perfect exits, and the dollars just keep adding up. Trading real-time on the other hand I am screwing it up royally. I short when I should buy, I buy...

Thanks. Now I see. That was driving me nuts !

[12:14:08] <Anek> thanks for 710 support comment [12:14:10] <Anek> it helped me [12:14:12] <Anek> not sure who it was [12:14:16] <Anek> gonna take lunch off [12:14:41] <gluebunny> 710 support from DTL formed from yesterday [12:14:46] <gluebunny> i didnt say it, but i see it :) [12:14:57]...

I still don't see anything. Anek was saying a good short would have been around the 1780 area, must have been around 2am eastern time. I'll give somebody a dollar for a chart.

Referring to Jan 23rd between 3am and 6am Eastern Time: [10:05:51] <Anek> the ahg play was the AH short [10:06:03] <Anek> Uptrend killed at anchor resistance [10:06:10] <Anek> bam, collapse [10:06:46] <Anek> 3 times a charm Does anyone have a chart which shows this. I've just stared at...

ThinkorSwim is ok. With web-based futures brokers I don't think you'll find anything too great, but they should be good enough. Another idea is to use logmein.com. I use it all the time from work......also behind a firewall. It's free and lets you control your home computer from your work...

So.......I don't think I've gotten this correct yet. Is the trend on the anchor chart considered down now, or still a retracement in an uptrend, or neutral? I see an obvious downtrend line over the last 4 days. But it hasn't retraced to the 50% level of it's uptrend since 12/18/07...

Anek and Silo, Thanks for the conversation you had in the chat log today. That cleared up a ton of stuff for me. I had the same exact questions Silo had; I was just so confused I didn't even know what to ask. I was also wondering what was going on with everyone talking about 3BR's every...

I think this is a possible Dragon Pattern forming on the HHH (Internet Holders). Not confirmed yet though. I think a strong bar closing around 61 would do the job. Just gotta figure out which internet stock to buy if this confirms.

What does 3BR stand for? I keep seeing it referred to in the chat room. Is it when you take out the high or low of the last 3 bars?

Well........I don't know if it's going to help or not, but I just picked up a very large bottle of "Oak-Aged Yeti Imperial Stout". Not sure what Stout is, but I'm hoping it will help me turn the corner. See you when I sober up.......a new man.....reborn. All hail the Yeti Stout !

That describes me perfectly right now---disoriented. I don't know what the hell I'm looking for anymore. I see small patterns, large patterns, small patterns within large patterns. I'll enter a trade on a large pattern, but then exit on a small pattern, but then the large pattern continues...

Thanks for the chart examples. On the Piscuy setups I see them everywhere. Why did you take those 2 at the beginning of your chart, but not others?

Thanks for the comments. Right now I'm still trying to learn the setups. I see people entering all the time, and I'll look at the chart and see nothing, so I think I'm missing a lot. I'll definitely be working on the discipline part once I have the method down, otherwise I realize I'd just be...

I would probably go insane waiting that long. A quicker style suits my personality more. I can wait 3 hours for the AHG style of setup. I just don't know if I should be waiting that long or if there are things I am not seeing.

I really suck at this so far. On the attached chart is the first valid trade to take today the failed H&S at 12:30 pm? Would I really have to sit here for 3 hours before even seeing a trade set up? Were there any trades before this point? I have a huge problem getting in questionable...

That all makes sense looking at the chart. Hopefully that is also what I would have done. I'm just trying to make sure I'm on the right track. Thanks for the feedback.

It's Christmas and I'm bored, so I'm staring at some charts. How sad. Anyway on the attached chart if you bought where the circle is would you have been stopped out before the real move began? (I think the trendline break may have stopped me out if I was in the trade, but I'm just...
