I think s/r are most valuable as targets, they give you a hint on where price will go, and without a target you don´t know where you´re going. Check out volente in the ym thread, he´s the master of s/r, he often posts his trades and are right most of the time. The secret is that the guy is...

txuk - i used calculated pivots for a while, but they were working some days, and then other days they didn´t work at all. I think "natural" s/r-areas are far more accurate, so i´ve skipped the pivots. Just my very limited experience...

easy - i know what you meen. i often make money in the simulator on the first real move between 10-11, and then if i continue i lose it. its like that most of the days...

txuk - i use yesterdays hig/low, then i´m looking at the range it moves between in the first half hour or so. I also try to find congestion areas from previous days/weeks by looking at larger timeframes. I have a lot of lines, every 20-30 points or so on ym there´s a line on my chart. Like...

Yesterday i had time to stay for most of the afternoon. I found it hard to grasp what was happening. I thought price moved almost randomly. Tried to look at pace, volume, pressure from sellers/buyers, but i didn´t get much help. How about you who are more experienced, was the afternoon...

thanx easy, i pm:ed him... for the second time in a week i pressed the wrong button, going long when i wanted to go short. luckily, stupid stalker still uses the simulator...

easy - is it possible to zoom out in some way with sierrachart other than with the arrows? i´ve tried everything.... like your charts and maks, you have a lot of empty space around the bars. with sierrachart i don´t have any overview at all. i´m always in the middle of the action...

Mak, do you trade even when the pace slows down and volume decreases, range gets more narrow? since around eleven I´m just watching, no way I can handle it...

stop quoting gerry all the time, i have him on my ignore list, and now i have to see his stupid comments anyway :mad:

Oh no, I´m exposed... Wasn´t that eddie murphy movie from the eighties, Trading places, about futures trading? I might go undercover as "Inga from Sweden"...

Good luck in the afternoon, gotta go! tommorrow i will probably go out in the countryside to pick mushrooms, autumn in sweden, so you have to tame the beast without me! thanx to everyone, Stalker

you´re thinking in the same way as me - question is if we´re both right or both wrong...:)

Chicken little, come on, why do you care? If I were making money consistantly there´s no way that i would take on a challenge like that by people here. It´s just ridiculous. The only reson to do a thing like that would be to show off. A person with that attitude is better off as a rap artist...

have had other stuff to do, but YM has changed direction almost exactly where i expected, at a s/r level at the top and the 60-minute right-channel at the bottom... :)

mak - i´ve only read about this so i´m afraid i´m not the best source to consult. I mailed cbot about hidden orders on futures a month ago but they didn´t answer... I don´t know how it works in this market, but usually big investors can hide their orders so you just can´t see them in the...

I´m drawing the channels, but i´ve decided to follow only YM for a week or two. The simple reason for this is that it became too much for me to handle 2 markets simultaniously. last week i felt i didn´t have time to really focus on what was happening (a little catatonic). Friday and...

i think we´re talking about two different things - I´m talking about the orders, you´re talking about the buying/selling that has actually taken place, right? hidden orders/icebergs gotta be international, can´t be just a swedish thing... :)

i´ve tried to, but first you have the fake orders that disapeares when price are coming closer, u can see it all the time. Then u have the hidden orders that u can´t see. So there´s a lot of hustling with the orderbook... /Stalker

Nobody here has said anything about WHY the trendchannels take form. Maybe it´s beacuse everybody but me thinks it´s so obvious, i don´t know. Anyway, i´ve been thinking about it. Isn´t it as simple as this - let´s say we´re in an uptrend. As long as the relationship between buyers...

I sure am impressed of your strategy volente, can´t really figure out how you know when to fade, but it´s fun to follow your entries and exits. Well, I´m not supposed to understand, I´m a stupid newbie... :eek: :confused: /Stalker
