Would assume 15/18 from here. The rest of the session is more uncertain. Could pick up a good trend and keep grinding higher...?

Most likely, today will be an up day. But quite possible with a dip lower in the morning. 4200 or so. We have some range to cover above - so possibly an Inside Day as well.

I've been leasing NT8, so I don't yet know it. It seems to me that there are better options than NT, but familiarity and some custom indicators is my main reason for staying with NT for now. Thanks for the heads up. Several members of the forum have in the past spoken highly about the HSI...

Why is that? And which company (if any) would you do business with?

Limit buy @ 96. Trailing a buy stop order above market. Trend days down are rare, so I'm betting we'll see a reversal here. Trading below 94 - trend day in play?

Low risk long from here, but I think upside may be limited today. ATHs would be a surprise, but we're close, so who knows... Just not my main bias for today?

There's an open gap @ 4195, though. Maybe.

Outside Day not allowed. ;) Should put in a bottom here @ 08 or 4203,50.

That's because it's not a 100K account. Effectively, it's a 3.5K account. That's 70 points gross on 1 ES contract - which I would say is realistic. But calling it a 100K account is a bit misleading.

A lot of complacent bulls, too.

It was the OP which 'predicted' a crash. Maxinger drew an arrow going to the moon. ;)

They do show the same information (candles versus OHLC bars) - they just visualize it differently (hook versus body). To me, I find candles easier to read, but it's possible that those who've used bars find it the other way around.

Might as well use a line chart then if the O-H-L-C of each bar doesn't matter...? As far as I can tell from my own studies - it does matter.

Well, if you're saying that the wicks and tails are more important than the body, my personal view is that reading those are far more easy on candles. It does seem that those using either candles or OHLC bars use it simply out of habit.

Sorry, but I'm not yet up to speed on your posts. I'm at page 200. Makes sense.

Mind me asking what key information that would be...? I was only showing one of my charts to be fair. I do of course use MTFA and other stuff. I do trade directly from the charts in Ninjatrader. It's not a perfect platform and I've considered changing many times, but having used it for so...

I'm reluctant to post that publicly as I use some stuff that I consider 'secret', but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to share this without further explanation. PS: I'm considering removing the bottom pane, although it can be helpful at times. PPS: It seems like the methodology espoused in this...

A thousand times better how so? I use neither, but I would imagine if using a 'naked chart' - most trading software today would be sufficient for the trading style espoused here?

Thanks. I'm aware of that distinction and do use it. Regarding NT 8 vs NT 7 - I think there was a LOT of issues with NT8 initially. The first version was in no way an improvement. They took about a year just to get the cross-hair working without lagging. They even had a suggestion to NOT use...

Thanks, Andrew. I wasn't aware of that functionality. I'll try it out!
