One thing great about ET is that, like a TV or radio station, you can tune out the trash.

Yes, there is a Keltner Bands EMA but you can not change the settings. At least I can not see where to do it. For example, if you select Bolliner band and then go to edit studies, it simply comes up with boxes ready to type in user specifice setting, and then just hit "apply all". Any one have...

What have you learned to be the stopper of trends ?

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=295457#post295457 From this post around 7/20, on this thread, where a short term double top looked possible, the correction has occured, only through time, not as much through price.

I don't see the MACD divergence if you're referring to the chart that I posted here:http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=298891 I do see the head n shoulders though. Can you clarify ?

Those who trade, say ES/NQ intraday breakouts, what do you look for as a signal whether or not to take the break ? I see wha looks like several breakout type set ups intraday that it seems there would be some nice opportunities. I started daytrading doing breakouts only and lost my frickin...

Thanks for your insight.

BrandonF, I thought you mentioned that you did a study like this, didn't you ?

Here's the 5m that looked too weak. Once again, this is why I am considering ignoring larger timeframes after entering, except for major support/resistance and just letting the 1m tell me what's going on. :confused:

Following is the 1m chart for the long I got into. When the nasty looking red candle occured about 10 bars after where I have noted entry, along with the 5m looking weak, I bailed with 1 point locked in. 5m chart in next post.

So, let's see, Al Quieda could go long, blow something up, take the profit and fund the next explosion ?

YES ! It was a good day for us 1m divergence traders. I got out of my two best (long) trades early though because the 5m looked so weak. I'm still struggling with the larger-timeframe-effecting-the-shorter-timeframe concept. I'm considering looking at the larger timeframes for major...

'tis true: 1m can certainly be the launching pad for larger moves. I see what you mean as well about a reversal within the overall trend. I had a couple bad weeks and started questioning these 1m divergence reversals. The cliche, trend is your friend, kept coming to mind and I was...

VT Don't know if you have seen this, but, thought of you when I read this from Ramatour (don't know if I spelled the name right) " Conversely, there are many traders that have tried to move up to the larger timeframes, in search of less stress and to stop the account from bleeding with...

I didn't know they shut down at night. I've traded the Australian from around 6p - 9p and then Eurex from 2am into the US open. They do shut down on Saturday ( starting on Friday at some point in time I suppose) and then they open up around 12p on Sunday. Have you tried contacting them to...

chats = charts

I looked at each of your trades on 7-25 on 1m charts and if you are selecting these trades primarily based on tape reading alone, that's some damn good tape reading on 7-25. All of the trade executions occur within just a couple points of an exact high/low reversal on the 1m chart. As...

There have been days, weeks and months in my life where I feel something is wrong. I feel confused or anxious or just some unexplainable slight pain. They eventually go away and in hindsight, these were times of growth. I trust that this is just such a period for you as it relates to...

Keepn' these darn 1m chats alive:
