There always is. But anyone who's interested can always use the link I posted above.

If you'd like to look at my trading plan and provide the conditions under which it would fail, I'd be happy to review them: If You Can Draw A Straight Line . . .

If you don't know whether or not it "really works" without trading it "for real", then you've got too many psychological issues to guarantee success. In fact, you'll most likely sabotage yourself before you're even out of the gate.

Sorry, no. Price is self-correcting. Therefore, if one has a consistently profitable trading plan based on price behavior, his edge will never fail. Never. As for people arguing about TA and trendfollowing, given that they can't even agree on what TA and TF are, their arguments are not...

Not quite. If one trades price, whatever edge he may have will never fail. If it does, he never had an edge in the first place.

Or, the other threads are still open.

A disturbing image.

Pretty much.

And sometimes we're just lucky. I was fortunate in that the first book I read was How To Make Money In Stocks, in the 80s, so I was never sucked into the indicator mire. When I turned my attention to futures in the 90s, I somehow lucked into an association with Teresa Lo, who acquainted me with...

That was the general idea.

Don't try to be smarter than your own plan.

And now the later demand line is broken. Still a decent trade, though. Edit: Just to be clear, the long is done. One is now out of the market.

Finally a chart that requires some thought :) Price chokes at 77 for whatever reason and plunges through the demand line at the open. By their nature, these ultra-steep lines beg to be broken and nearly always are, but if one still needs them, they should to be drawn anyway. Likewise the...

I have no idea what any of this is.

My apologies. I just realized that I neglected to fan the line again below this morning's higher high. Not enough coffee before posting. So this is the corrected chart:

Price continues higher. Those of you who are familiar with the preceding threads (see post #1) will note that price made a higher high at the open which made it possible to fan the demand line slightly to include the immediately-preceding swing low (see the preceding chart, above). Thus when...

I envy you. I hope the rising waters don't become a problem :)

True. The line can't be drawn until the change in demand/supply has already manifested itself. There are plenty of charts in the other threads (see post #1) that show the intervening lines, but this thread is intended to be an extension of the previous threads, not a reboot. As to why the...

And when the trolls get so fluffed about this exactitude they demand, they don't realize that they are announcing to the world just how inexperienced they are. Which is why I don't argue with them any more. (Plus I'm older :))

This sort of confidence, though, comes only with experience, one of those aspects where there's just no substitute. The question I'm most commonly asked is "where do you enter?", and the answer, of course, is that it doesn't really matter. But this isn't acceptable. However, if one...
