    Gotta Trade and others, The jounal is getting a few pages in it now and no doubt it is not easy to read all the pages. I do think it is a good idea to start from the beginning and review the key posts when you have time. Here is the exact method for entry on a long position which results...

    Chronicles of an Idiot

    This is a fair question. It is difficult to put it in writing. If we were all watching a chart and I could describe what I do it would possibly make sense. I think Net Meeting and an Conference Call Bridge would do the trick. Is there any feature on ET that would help me explain? You would...

    With all due respect, I have tried that system with my wife for 20 years and it does not work for me. I need some "indications" from her or I am not sure what type of mood she is in. I'm glad your system works for you.

    nkhoi, I have looked at your chart. I made some lines on them. I will need to email it to you. Too big for here. Take a look. Your first markings were not correct. The first entry I posted today came around 10:02. If you were able to compare your MACD settings at this point, you would have...

    It was pointed out to me that I did not answer this question from a couple days ago. In looking back and trying to remember what I was thinking at the time..... I know I did not take the sell signal because the uptrend was strong. I can not remember any more about this. Sorry. I remember I...

    See my response to him. I can not give the advice without seeing his MACD plot also. I will answer all questions, unfortunately I have to leave for a meeting today. I probably should have not been here. I was not completely focused and as a rule, I am trying to not have any distractions when...

    The 10:02 trade... It is very risky to take the first signal "against" an establishing trend. Price moved up approx 7 points here. Additionally, there was not confirmation on my filter for this trade. The 10:25 trade... Did not have confimation yet, I would not take this trade unless...

    Well, someone is actually paying attention. I did not think anyone really came in here. Okay, you have asked a very good question . First you have to understand the six points as indicated on the chart. Once this divergence occurred, I filtered the entry point because I was not getting the...
