    Again, long signal generated around 10:25. Would not take this is such a strong downtrend. If another back to back signal is generated, I will take it. Am more comfortable with short signals right now.

    For anybody tagging along, price has made a double bottom and a signal may be generated. I will not take this because it is the first signal after a strong move down. Let's look for the next one. Also, at 10:00 there was a trade I call a HOTT trade (Hop On The Trend) that generated a...

    Good morning. Just for the record, I do not like trading on Friday the 13th. Also, I generally do not take a position using my system until after the initial chop. This is not always the case, if I feel I can call the morning run and I get a good signal I will take it. I will do my best...

    Can explain what $tick is and is it the 4 lines plotted on your candles? You are using this instead of the stochastic right? In my system, the MACD almost always hooks before the stochastic. The discipline to wait is the key.

    Today I placed a total of 4 trades. One type of trade which I nicknamed HOT is not on here. I will explain this at some point in the future. Today was a good day. They won't all be like this. My profit target was hit on all trades. Total of 8 points. Any feedback or constructive advice...

    Hard to believe but it made it to 995. It was ugly and definitely not textbook. North, South, East, North. But +2 is +2. On to September. If you followed this you would see that price moved up quickly at first, all the way to with .5 point of my target. This is the normal time frame I have...

    You know, as head idiot in this thread, I am going to make a rule. Let's all get along and have fun. I have only been trading this way for about two years. At first, I went to these kind of places to learn. It always turned into something else. There are a zillion forums where you can go and...

    Sorry. It will always be 1M unless I post it differently. Too much going on. Fingers are flying. This is not easy to do.

    I am really hesitant to post my indicator settings at this point. This is in no way a proven system. I'm just posting this to develop the method. It seems like a good idea. I do not want to mislead anyone. I have just begun to trade this real time The back testing (performed manually on...

    Yannis, Hope you don't mind. I just moved some of the post over from the old thread to this thread. I put an explanation in the old "TIMES" thread.

    06-11-03 02:09 PM TIMES I've been using this method for over a year now, on and off, and I find it excellent: relatively easy to understand and quite profitable if you do it correctly, ie, if you interject the right amount of real-time (somewhat subjective) adjusting that they suggest. I...
