This is a little tricky, as my goal is to get into trades as early in the swing as possible. For "day trade" swings, after 2 or 3 pull backs (anti set ups) you are probably pretty far along in that swing and those trades get riskier. You'll see the 3/10 start to develop divergences in its'...

If you go back to that post, the 884.00 buy on that chart was just covering the previous short entry. I was trying to explain that it is possible to use the 3/10 histogram as an exit indicator when you are in a position. You might want to look at trying to stay in a trade until the 3/10 hist...

They're just divergences in the 3/10. There are some examples already posted. They can be single divergences or "three little indians" per LBR.

I'm not quite certain what you're looking for. I don't trade the same number of contacts all of the time. There are times when I'll add to a position. There are times when I reduce my exposure. There are times when I get in within the first hour and try to "hold a few" all day long. I have...

Your observation about a strong trending market is "right on". As you watch that 3/10 histogram, you'll see a lot of instances where you can take a position aftert the first pull-back in the histogram. That first pull-back won't make it to the other side of the zero line. You'll need to take...

When you get into a position a few minutes before an important number, 8:30am est or 10am est, you are gambling a bit on the reaction to that number. I find the volume from 8:45-9:15 est to be too light for me. Sometimes it will take 10 minutes just to fill up a 1000 tick bar. I would...

I hope everyone who has followed along has been having a good month. I have had a few pm's that were similar in themes. They had to do with getting chopped up on narrow range days. First off, when the ES is trading in a 4-5 point range for a few hours, you will be scratching out of your...

I believe you're on your own with Ninja. You can use the free version for charting etc, but if you want to use all of their options, you must pay for the "live" version. So Ninja is free for Mirus cutomers and everyone else. Look at it this way....if you only do a few thousand RT's during...

I'm pretty sure www.mooktraders.com is all Italian, but I could be wrong.

Good trading to you!

Ha ha ha.....and socialists don't understand that you do need donators.....those donators are called capitalists.

The key to whether you will make money or not has way more to do with YOU than anything you could ever buy. Once you understand that and figure out what kind of trading matches YOU, you will be on your way. If you ever come to the realization that the above advise is worth at least $1,000...

Just to give myself a marker for how extended the 3 sma is beyond the 10 sma. I, also, have that blue dotted line change to yellow when the 3 sma gets x points away from the 10 sma. Both the blue dotted line and the yellow "threshold" number can be changed, are variables, as volatility changes...

It might be best for you to re-read the posts and review the chart examples.

I find the tick bar on the trigger bar is rarely a big bar, more than 2 full points. Look at all of the 1000 tick bars today, very few were over 2 points. As I said previously, I have a tick countdown next to the current bar. When we get below 100 and we are getting a trigger, I will enter. I...

Couple of things: The canned MACD on TS plots an MACD line, which you can eliminate by putting 2 slashes // in front of Plot1( MyMACD, "MACD" ) under "edit easy language for MACD". You want your 3/10/16 to be a SMA and not an EMA. Remember, that 3-10 histogram should be 3sma minus 10sma...

Well, that's pretty much the strategy and I hope it has helped those who have watched for the past 4 weeks. Friday will probably be light volume and whippy, so I might just take the day off. Good luck to all!

10:51 was a quick loser for me. You will have losers. I'm a few ticks off of break even with these signals today. If you keep good records, you will see a pattern where these work. You will also see that the good signals work almost immediately. I cannot stress enough, the pattern that...

I use TS for my charts? see attachment

All excellent points. (btw, this might wind up being a narrow range day, but we just had a nice sell signal right after the market retraced 50%: my fills were at 9:40:36 at 908.25. only had to take 1 point of heat.) We all know the market cycles itself from "relatively" narrow range days...
