But by the time that happen, we will b considerably higher IMO.

so you are buying on fundamentals. Just curious, would you be buying oil, gold, etc if the technicals weren’t good as they are, but with the war still a factor?

I am 35% equity across all of my accounts combined (I’m retired). I’ve never been 35% equity in my adult life. My long term strategy is 65-70% equity. (As an investor, not my trading money, which is small, and 100% cash right now. I’ve been this low all year, and it feels really uncomfortable...

Yeh i dont use those, they dont track well over more than a day or two

Thanks Murray

What I like about ETFs is that you pretty much eliminate big gap openings

I'm confused .... So 1 and 5 minutes are obviously intraday and i guess you use them for day trades (and swing trades?). FOR THE 30 AND 365 day charts, whats the time interval you use. For examle, the 365 day chart - is it daily, weekly?

I’m following this thread with the goal of trying to learn from it. I don’t see the stock ever getting to $39.93.what am I missing?

When you are looking for setups, for both swing trades and position trades, what time frames do you focus on? Daily, weekly, monthly? I'm having trouble with this. When if ever do you look at a 1 year daily chart?

Good food for thought. That was my original idea. Will consider

I like the stock lists, and updates throughout the day. They also feature a stock each day in the Stock of the day” column, which is usually a technically strong stock, so it’s a good source of ideas. But that’s me, we are all different

Yes SF, as I said in the other thread, I have finviz and have used the screener to screen for strongest sectors. It’s pretty good.

I also have IBD and FINVIZ. what do you get from stock charts that you can’t get on TOS?

I’m really talking about charting capabilities, maybe trading platform is the wrong word. I’m not day trading and I’m not trading size. So I don’t think fast execution means much to me. (I press buttons fast lol )

Good point. As I said my focus is going to be on the sectors. I want use the entire universe of ETFs but I will use the equal weights maybe Gold and some of the commodity ETFs I think it’s still a pretty narrow focus feel free to disagree

I use ThinkorSwim at TDAmeritrade. Costs me nothing and is very robust. I’m sure other trading platforms like Scwab, IB, etc are similar. Yet I see some using paid platforms like Trading View, TrendSpyder, TC 2000 and others. am I missing something?

after thinking about it, It was too limiting.

I mentioned that my universe will be limited to the 11 S&P 500 Sector Spyders. Going to amend that. So…. Part 1 Universe will focus on Sector Spyders and equal weight sector ETFs, but instruments can be any ETF PART 2 Random thoughts on What I’m looking for as a setup 50 day MA and 20 day in...

Us included

Thanks easymon, good stuff.Don’t have those answers yet, other than vague thoughts in my head. But I’m getting close
