Enjoying reading game's journal here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=264682&perpage=40&pagenumber=10 on the method. I noticed that many of the TL charts you (dbP) referenced are "gone", like this one...

The 9:35 bar broke through the DL of the overnight hinge at 90.75. It established a SL ancored on 96 at the open and angled steeply downward. This established us as a down day until broken. Should only be shorting. The first SL was breached around 9:42 after the doji at 9:41, another doji...

That's a good description. By "bad ones" I mean loosing trades. They will typically move a tick or two or three in a profit making direction, then reverse, meander around a bit and head towards my 1.5 to 2 point stop. I can see that the trade is not going to work when it looses momentum after...

It's like getting the oracle in stereo! I was working through this thread again from the beginning, editing my notebook with things I missed. I added this from page 2 before checking for new posts here at the end of the thread: That mistake of using stops and wait and pray or hope and wait...

db first thanks for the sage advice. I can tell you've been around the horn as they say, as your observations are right on. In a nutshell, my best over the past 30 years was in buy and hold, but with the world situation, I am uncomfortable with that amount of exposure these days. I...

Jack, I did the bad trade that you are mentioning. I thought that we had broken the DL @ 10:21 and we were bouncing off the new SL @ 10:25. We had entered the bar with a LH, and I took a short expecting a break of 3092. The trade stopped out, as I set it a tick over the 10:23 high in the tic...

Just a guy learning to crawl... I cleaned all the indicators off a month ago, got dbP's book and been reading the Wycoff course... got back from breakfast and saw the break from congestion and took the short with a bracket. Was moving my stop down when my target got hit quicker than I thought...

40d, I see your rationale for entering on the 9:53 bar at 3099. Where did you have your mental stop? I could see one at 3100.25 or 3102.00 trying to learn which is "right." ... if either. dbP said to enter on the 9:50 bar. If using that was the entry on that bar as is dropped from...

Keep this part of the message board the way it is. Clean up the home page and ditch the reviews. Add a section on the home page where you pay folks for content articles that you review. Sort of like seeking alpha. Allow the above articles to have a dedicated thread in the forum for...

Note, link above is not good... missing data, has... in the actual URL. Is that section 7 and 17 on trendlines?

I would rather that the forum with would be fixed when someone uploads a large chart. The text portion for all posts should max out at 1024 pixels wide. One can scan to the right for the large chart, but having to scan the page for each line after someone posts a large chart is a ROYAL pain...

The republican candidate better be ready to bring up cattle futures and "that guy" that offed himself in the park... cause the media is already spooling up for Ms. Hiliary as superwoman movies.

Followup Q: Do you place a catastrophe stop routinely with each order?

Been studying this for a few days and can't figure it out. Thought perhaps a guru here could help? I have successfully implemented and executed both hot key initiated and button initiated orders that do the following: (for both BUY and SELL) 1. initial LMT Buy 1.1 attached OCA LMT Sell...

db was the 50% level for this comment: "1030: price having trouble making a higher high but still holding above 50%. NQ much stronger than the ES today, which found resistance at its 50% level. That however has nothing to do with the plan. It's just an observation." Set from the low of the...

DB I sincerely appreciate this thread. Is the lower high you would short at the one I put the orange dot on in the chart below?

I wonder how you patent it now that you publicly disclosed it?

Remington 870 12 gauge with the shortest legal barrel you can find with a standard or synthetic stock. Don't go 00 buck it will penetrate a few layers of drywall. #6 will do the job just fine up close and limit collateral damage.
