I know. Research and back-testing comes before the trading plan, which comes before entries. Monday seems to be a futures holiday, so I'll do as much learning as possible. Thanks for your input, and for keeping us all honest.

I have made some comments on the day. They are numbered below and indicated on the attached chart. The times on the chart are set to our local time, so I'll have to figure out how to change that on Investing.com. 1. Price fell fast at the open, and then retraced to 50% of the previous...

Today was an relatively easy day to start learning this. There was a retracement soon after the open which allowed a long entry, and then a steady rise until I sold at resistance to previous January daily highs. Like most people I don't have too many problems making the descisions on those...

At the moment this is just a learning exercise. No real fills just a simulation. When I can ride the bicycle properly without falling off, I will try to post real time.

Hi Guys, Starting this journal to practise and learn the Straight Line Analysis that some of the other members are investigating on this forum. At the moment I mainly concentrate on the daily charts, because I have time at the end of the day. However for this thread I will try use the...

Just 2 questions. If you got the short on at 30, where would be the correct place to place a stop loss if the trade went against you? And since it fell quite nicely, what point do you decide to get out? On the break of the supply line or back up to the 28/29 level?

9:48 bounce off bottom and backup again?

Very good. I like simple explanations. Now, is there anywhere that I can buy a house trained rat to help with my trading?

The reasoning behind doing this wasn't clear from the article, but I'd guess that since the flu will probably mutate eventually in nature, if we do it first in the lab, then we can create the vacine in advance of an outbreak. Anyway, I'm sure they must have a good lock on that door, and...

The only rule for trading in Thailand. Buy Ho, Sell Lie

I think you should test in a bit more detail. I think testing over several years will give you the confidence that your ideas work. I have been testing my ideas against 4 years of historical data on approx 2500 stocks in the NASDAQ just to get an idea of where I am going. I am using...

The muslim brotherhood aren't that big in Eygpt Its just westerners that are making them seem bigger because they are afraid of anything with muslim in its name. The Eygptians just want an end to the total corruption that goes from top to bottom of society.

Fools, don't you know that 101010 is the binary number equivalent for 42. This is a very important number because if you had read "The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy" you would know that a race of "hyper-intelligent," "pan-dimensional" beings built a supercomputer called Deep Thought to...

There is a Chairman Mao restaraunt in Dublin, with pictures of the blood thirsty Chinese tyrant on the wall. Maybe you could start a Stalin themed bar called Uncle Joe's. Personally I hope that both big religion, and love of dictators will die out in this century.

Nothing will happen in Greece. It's only government employees and students on strike and rioting. They are not taking any risk, because they can do that without any fear of consequences. You only have real problems when the private sector riots. Private sector workers such as those killed...
