I thought I was the only swede on this forum. :) Compare the times your strategy would have worked with the times it wouldn´t have worked, see if you can spot a difference. Try it and good luck! /Stalker

In Sweden we have shifted to winter time this weekend. Is it the same in US? I´m not really sure when dow opens tomorrow... /Stalker

One of my friends worked in a restaurant own by guys who have made millions of dollars playing poker. They invested 2 million dollars in this restaurant as sort of a hobby. My friend told me when they were out of cash for certain projects they´d call the owners and they would come with a...

thanks, gonna check it out

Dell-boy, since you´re into patterns - have you read Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns? Is it worth the money? I only know the basics of the basic formations, would be fun to read more

That´s true. Low volume also helped me to stay out of another trade that would have failed. Thanks for encouragement and help. You always provide those small details that make me get back on track. Discipline was back today, felt relaxed and took only two trades. Time to leave for the...

Sorry to torture you with questions Easy, but I´m just wondering if I got everything right. I was entering when the channelline broke on the attached chart at 1187,25. When there was no real strong move I got out at +0,5. I´m on the right track?

Some one in this thread wrote "I´m a moron" as sort of a starting point. I´m gonna try to adapt that way of thinking, since I find that I´m trying to hard to be smart and predict what´s going to happen. From now on, if someone calls me a moron or stupid I´m gonna take it as a compliment.

I believe you :)

I´m a bad student. :( My problem is everything can go really good for a week, winning every day in the simulator. Then I have one losing day, and I immediately lose faith in what I´m doing, so the next day I just jump in and out almost randomly. And of course it doesnt work. Then I go back...

Easy, it would be interesting to know what you are looking at when price approaches the right channel line. What I find really really really really difficult is to see the difference between a temporary retracement and a new leg forming. Or - is the retracement gonna continue for a while...

that one hour right channelline work again :)

yeah, your prob. right, I shouldn´t complain, it´s just me personally who don´t like rockets, can probably fit someone else like a glove :) How´s oil going today Hypotamus, champagne every day at your house? Or just at very specific and rare occasions?

Hypotamus, didn´t you have a job that took a lot of time so you couldn´t follow the markets so often? You seem to have a awfull lot of spare time :)

I´m gonna follow this too, since it´s closely related to what I´m trying to do myself. best wishes, Stalker

This was a thread about channel trading for a long while, now it´s´all this talk about rockets beacause there are documents several years old that says it´s a beginners trade. Well market conditions change.

I don´t understand why some of you continues to try to catch the rockets? To me it´s almost the same thing as chasing the market. I mean there are a whole lot of pros just waiting for amateurs to enter the rockets so they can fade them. When I see a rocket forming I take a break and put on...

txuk, I can not answer your question since I´m new to watching the markets together in realtime, but on some days one of the market seems to be significantly stronger through out the whole day. When you look at a wedge or something on ym and you have a break out I think you should wait to...

I agree that mgins comments are very good. I´ve only watched Ym and Es together for a week, but one thing I like is that while you see the trends better on es 5-min, it´s easier to spot formations on the ym chart - flags, wedges, pennants... this is not only because of the timeframe but also...

since i´m swedish I sometimes don´t get the finer nuances in english, but how some of you could miss that volente was joking... well sorry but... :p :p :p :p :p Since there seems to be a lot of trendfaders in this thread, I´ve been wondering how you been doing these last days with this...
