Can't find the example I was looking at earlier, but here's a few: 1/15 2:14 ET bar. Avg of 300 volume per bar jumps to 3100 volume. 12/27 12:03 ET bar. Volume goes from under 200 avg the last 20 bars to 1659. 11/14 10:11 ET bar 5500 volume. Are there that many traders that all...

Scrolling thru a CL chart (probably other instruments also) there are often times where volume is just dead on each 1-minute bar (100, 156, 87, 172, 110).......................then out of nowhere the next 1 minute bar has a huge range with volume of 1500. Does anyone know what accounts for...

I'm sure there are good traders who use stop losses, & I'm sure there are good traders that do not use stop losses. Both ways work. It all depends on your rules, your plan, how leveraged you are, what market you're trading, etc, etc, etc. If you have a million dollars & you are trading 1...

I've read some of your posts before. I think you have some good common sense when it comes to trading. I think stops are stupid also, but I don't know how to daytrade futures without them. It's funny................I'll click thru a chart with my girlfriend just for fun & we'll go thru a...

I don't use the CCI at all. It's just on my chart because I was experimenting with it. I watch the price so closely I couldn't even have told you for sure that CCI was on my chart. I get tunnel vision. I did notice that when trading CL if the CCI hits +200 or -200 it usually has at least a...

This makes sense, but here's the thing................I get so minutely focused on the price bars, that I miss the other clues. I have a 20 EMA on my chart, but I can tell you the last time I got caught in chop I didn't even "see" the 20 EMA. Sounds dumb, huh? :)

Thanks for all the replies everyone ! Just so you know I'm on the sim right now. No more live trades until I know what the hell I'm doing. It's amazing how much money you can save when you're not giving it away. :) I attached an example chart of 3 losses in chop. I like to use the...

Some good ideas...........thanks ! (not too sure about the brown booty idea, but you never know) :)

Anybody ever have a problem getting caught in chop & falling for one trap trade after another? If so I was curious if you had any insight on how to recognize it & avoid it. I always start off by asking myself if the direction of price is up or down. Pretty simple. But...........time...

The thing that really messes with my mind is that I've probably been trying to trade longer than NoDoji, and where she is up 100 ticks, I'd be lucky to be up 20 or breakeven. I'd probably be down 20. I've read all of her posts & I've tried to do what she does, but she has something that most...

Believe me..........I highly doubt I would've seen the setups at they time they were actually happening; I am definitely talking in hindsight. I believe NoDoji's trading results, but I sure as heck can't do what she can do right now. That's why I was curious if she made 100 ticks or more...

You had 5 trades which reached your minimum target of 20 ticks between 8:40 & 10:30 when there was only a range of 70 ticks? That is some incredible trading if I understand correcly. I see 3 pretty obvious setups which would've given you 20, but I'm not sure about 5 of...

What event are you witnessing? The stock market usually dies for a while for lunch & then comes back alive from 13:30 CT until close, but I'm not sure what else is happening around that time.

There is a book called The Perfect Health Diet which is all about preventing & eliminating disease. It tells what food to avoid, what to eat & in what ratios. It explains which vitamins should be taken & how they all work together. For example Vitamin D & Vitamin K2 should be taken together...

I foiund this article that says "yes". Wheat Is A Cause of Many Diseases, I: Leaky Gut Posted by Paul Jaminet on October 26, 2010 I realized last week that I often call wheat the most toxic food, but I haven’t really explained why on the blog. The book has a detailed explanation, which...

If you've been accused of being a truck driver that's a good sign. Anekdoten was an artist when it came to trading. I've probably read way too many books & internet threads on trading, but out of everything I've ever read nobody has ever impressed me more. I couldn't imagine him being a...

I saw a recommendation for both whole grains & legumes. Nutrition is a confusing subject, but aren't both grains & legumes known to be toxic to humans (with plenty of scientific papers as evidence)?

So it peeked above that "magnet" line you referenced earlier & now it's doing a pullback which is common at areas like that; guess some people call it a bull trap. Looks like 1415 would be a horizontal support area & also a diagonal trendline support area. Plus it looks like the famous...

What kind of studies?
