Word to the wise, the only time you should "try" an entry is on a confirmed signal based on prior testing of the signals efficacy.

:thumbsup:

Not something I'd do but one could get a long signal on one time frame and a short signal on another. Nothing wrong with it as long as the signals were valid and rules of the trade kept.

Entry on the takeout of the low/high bar of the pivot (or inside bar)...stop entry if within my stop loss limit or on limit entry after trigger if not which may fill or not. I pull the entry once price goes to BE (8 ticks)

Red is 30WMA, Yellow is 9EMA and gray is 90 WMA and yes, they define my geography on each chart.

For the reason I stated, it was a pullback entry in a directional move.

You have to take a break from ET from time to time :D

Price is directional and makes a retrace (correction) without violating the existing trend.

There were other signals on the chart posted before of AH which I don't trade. Not that it's not tradable, I just want time restraints.

I don't pay attention to any other markets that I am not trading at the time....not saying it doesn't work just that I like to keep things as simple as possible. My qualifiers are complex enough.

If Spooz were here, he would tell you that this mornings high was almost exactly 61.8 fib retracement. SPYgrain, what I do is conceptually simple as I trade trend pullbacks. In reality, there is often conflict across the 3 tf's as to what is "trend". That's why I refer to my entries as momentum...

Well, I'm sure you care what you're doing. I've shown many of my trades through the years and explained what it is that I do. I don't recall you ever explaining your trade plan I don't post trades during the day for a number of reasons, one, I take too many to post and keep focus and secondly...

That's why it's a market, everyone trades differently.

It's also OK to short the top.

The big tf tells today's tale.

I set my charts up like it's a trip to the optometrist...when PA looks clear, it's good to go.

Currently 1500, 4500 and 13,500 tick but I adjust as to prevailing volatility. In lesser vol I will go up to double those settings.

The only time frames I am concerned with are my three intraday. It's within those I look for momentum impulses, that's what I do. Any time I look at a daily, weekly or monthly chart is strictly for academic interest.

Who gives a crap, as a day trader I consider waiting for a long on a strong trend day down as a tremendous waste of profitable opportunity.
