Maybe a third party platform & data feed?

Also IG only do flat rate commissions, which is no good to you if you're going to be testing your technique on very low volume lots.

I agree with you maestro, all TA can do is help quantify probabilities, I don't see TA as a magic bullet that can see into the future, but it's certainly enough to give you an "edge" I like your analogy of a pressure gauge.

Fundamentals: $1 trillion rescue package agreed to stabalise the Euro in the face of the Greek contagion. FTSE now well up over 4%, lets see if the gains can be sustained.

1st webisode of Floored is out today, anyone seen it yet?

there's nothing wrong with it, personally I prefer to go all in and reduce risk as I scale out, actually I don't like risk, so unless there are no potential obstacles to the move (as I perceive it using TA) I'll often take 50% off at 1:1 ratio to reduce risk to zero. But that's just me, it's a...

That retrace around the 1st of March would have been a good swing or position entry on NEM.

No worries Mac, we all have to start somewhere and even most of the best traders will testify that sometimes it can take years to reach the nirvana of consistent profitability. I find these boards useful because I'm challenged to examine my own thought processes and I get value from that. I...

Moreover Mac, on a basic level, why not take advantage of all of the data that the market is making available to you? IMO if you're only looking at price, then you're only getting half the story. That said, intraday volume patterns tends to be quite uniform and are most often cup shaped...

You'd know all about that being the king of drivel. What's up? No one to accuse of being a shill today?

I was brought up on Tom & Jerry and the like, "too violent? Political correctness my a***!!" as Jim Royale would say. I always thought Droopy was funny.

I agree that "The Generals" will use longer TFs weekly and monthly, so you need to keep tabs on those to see the potential S&R levels (or potential inflection / reaction points if you prefer) that The Generals are looking at. I wouldn't have said that they necessarily use volume themselves as...

I appreciate what you're saying Mac, but on both of the charts you've posted reading the ramp up in volume is integral to identifying and anticipating the BO.

What exactly is the trading tree? Do you look for set ups on daily bars and then get the entries on intraday time frames? Do you look for the generals' accumulation in above average volume?

I think we may still get a "proper" test of the Jan lows.

Just started reading it. Great stuff, lots of info on reading volume to anticipate momentum break-outs, which relates exactly to what I'm studying at the moment.:cool:

You've got me watching classic 70's cartoons on YouTube now!! Actually DT furnished me with a copy, I'll dig it out of my hard drive and have a read.

Bl**dy hell TE, you're showing your age there sunshine. Generals markers? I'm guessing pivots. Beep beep...:D

I know I make some dumb posts from time to time (self-deprecation, it's a British thing), but there's some downright weird stuff being posted of late. As for the attack on Jack H, very inappropriate to post on a web forum, even if it were to be true. A vindictive ex-wife perhaps? Moving from...

my mistake :)
