Books? I don't read TA books. What I have, has come about through market observation and trial/error. You know, it takes EFFORT to get good at this trading thing, you can't just be constantly going on vacation and going yachting, LOL

Read what you posted and then what Sculptor posted in response, CAREFULLY.

This went right over marketsurfers head, LOL

Great call....how could I have forgotten these two ALLSTARS! :D

Just FYI, RGIII is the top rated QB in the NFL right now, QB ratings wise.

Maybe RGIII is more marketable than Luck? I have no idea, no one is saying Luck doesn't deserve a lot of praise for what he has done in the W and L column for the Colts but he also has NOT had anywhere near the statistical season RGIII has had. No one is saying that you or anyone should admit...

Yup, the potential is certainly there for injury and this is the biggest concern for him. Did you notice that both teams won again, although RGIII had yet another 100+ QB rating game while Luck's QB rating was barely was above 50? Not to mention that Indy barely beat the woeful Tennessee...

Mktsurfer, I was too harsh in my previous message. I apologize. I'm sure you know a lot about what you've seen and have had experience testing. All I'm saying is that blanket statements like "stops degrade any system" drive me a little nuts :)

You are so limited in what you know on this subject it's scary, LOL. But whatever, "captain", you can cite your little studies and sit on your high horse as if you have a clue all you want, makes no difference to me. When you have a working system that has a decade + of consistent results, then...

LOL, whatever you say buddy! How's YOUR trading going again, remind me.... :)

You have to be a really horrible trader to switch your tgts to your stops. If you are truly that bad with your original ideas, then maybe this might work. But then again, you're using a stop. A one point tgt with no stop is destined for failure. It just is...

Obviously there are so many moving parts when creating a workable system. Bad targets are certainly one of those variables.

You've probably seen only a sliver of the systems that are out there. Stop being naive, thinking you know all that exists when it comes to trading systems. It's just making you come off as ignorant. Food for thought...

Been making money every month and every year since 1999, but thanks for the advice :p

Wrong. You cannot provide blanket statements that cover ALL systems. This shows amateurism.

How big is this "account"? Is this a long or short trade (makes a difference)? Are you placing the trades randomly or are you a poor trader who tends to buy tops and sell bottoms? I mean, this question has so many variables that there is no telling WHAT is more likely. Although, if you are...

There is your first mistake :D

SPY. My method is not discretionary, at least not for entries. The ways bars were forming, closing...I didn't have any line up. Usually have 2-8 trades per day on average.

Today was awful for my method. Not a single entry on any of my 3 time frame pairs. This almost never happens.
