    Chronicles of an Idiot

    06-11-03 12:37 PM The concept for a long trade just occurred. If you have a minute, take a look at the S&P chart. At 11:48 price came down to 985.25. Then moved up and formed a double bottom at 12:01. Both the MACD and the Stochastic make higher lows. I entered the trade at 12:05 at...

    Chronicles of an Idiot

    06-11-03 12:12 PM TIMES I learned the TIMES method through a friend and paper traded it for several months. I could not get it to work profitably. I also found that using the techniques on a 3 minute chart was more rewarding than the one minute. I have since found better trading methods...

    Chronicles of an Idiot

    I wanted to start this thread to discuss my trades and trading style for anyone interested. We started some discussion in another forum, but I did not think it was named properly. I think my metod is a convergence-divergence method, but I am really not sure. I sort of modeled what I do around...

    TIMES Method

    Gotta Trade, RAM, BREAKOUT and all, I am going to move my discussions on my trading method to a new thread. I originally named this TIMES without thinking that most people would have no clue what the hell this is. I am going to title the new thread "CHRONICLES OF AN IDIOT" I have...

    TIMES Method

    Thanks alot Breakout. These would have been "short" signals for me too, the difference is that I am more hesitant to take this position on a strong uptrend day. Is this the type of system you trade regularly? Judging from your handle that is. What is the time frame on your chart for the "30...

    Ram - What were SL and TP levels for the 3M charts? This is interesting, I am taking a look at it.

    TIMES Method

    I did not pay to become a member of Traders Intl. Just wanted to do things myself. I am kind of hardheaded when it comes to that. I have done okay so far. I think the biggest thing I like about the system I have developed is the simplicity. I am still fine tuning the "subjectiveness". That's...

    TIMES Method

    You were right. Stopped out. In hindsight, there was not enough room at the top to pick up 2 points. Interesting comment about the timing. I generally enter whenever I get a signal after the opening zig zags. Usually I look to trade after 10:00. Do you think it may help me to stay out of the...

    TIMES Method

    I am in another trade now. Same type. At 13:22 price made antoher double bottom. Stochatic and MACD made lower highs. Entered at 13:25 at 989.50 SL -2 and TP +2 at 991.50. Since this would be a new high, if it works, I may try to trail with an incremental stop. We'll see how it works. If...

    TIMES Method

    Walther, I wish I could understand why you would say that. I am simply not qualified to teach a method I am trying to figure out. If you were not behind a monitor, I would not want you as a friend.

    TIMES Method

    Basically... I use the 1M chart on the ESM. Plot the Stochastic and MACD. If price makes a double bottom, but the Stochastic and MACD make higher lows, this is a signal to go long. The opposite for a double top in price. I guess I assumed based on the threads I read that this was a...

    TIMES Method

    If you are not familiar with this, do a search on this forum using "Traders International" or "TIMES". You may also want to visit their website. It is www.tradersinternational.com. This is how I learned about this method.

    TIMES Method

    I want to state for the record that I am new. This is my first post here and I have no underlying motives. Only to discuss trading with everyone. I came across this forum after doing a search on Traders International/Times method on Google. I read thru most of the comments and have put...
