zoomed in so you can see the trade better.

I watched the ES most of the day on a split screen showing a 1 min and a 5 min chart. It wasn't until 12:35 pm (mountain time) that I decided to take my first trade. I went short one contract. I held it for five minutes, and then got out of the trade at 12:40. There was no profit/no loss on the...

Hi Donna, are you not accepting emails, or am I not doing something correctly in trying to reply? Thanks, Pat

thanks. I appreciate your answers. (except for the condescending smart asses, of which there will always be some).

did you use it all three years you were in 8th grade?

awesome, thank you for your input, it was very helpful.

I use charts, yes. And I use "active trader" on Thinkorswim, which I was under the impression is also called "the dom" to set my limit and stop orders. It's basically a ladder of sorts.

That's great. I have never used the Fib fans before and didn't know what to make of them. Thanks, I appreciate it.

I am using ThinkorSwim, Cdcave.

Thanks for the link, Kingyppo. That's what I was looking for.

I have read in this forum that a 45 degree angle is the ideal angle to use on a chart. I would like to draw a 45 degree angle in advance, but I am not sure how close the lines I draw are to an actual 45 degree angle. Do you use any type of tool to assist you in drawing the 45 degree angle? Is...

Thanks, Ammo. I am only up to page 50 of this thread. I am studying your posts along with a few others (Nodoji, Xpurt, Metal). I print the attached charts out so I can study when I am not at the computer. For some reason I study and absorb the concepts better this way than I do sitting in from...

Why are you so defensive? Your name wasn't even mentioned. Perhaps Ammo isn't as sensitive as you, and will accept the constructive criticism. If I have a comment or critique on someone's writing clarity, I think I should be allowed to say so without getting attacked with snide remarks.

Hi do you think you could clarify this a little bit for me? My understanding of confirmation as it is used in this thread is when, for example, a five minute candle breaks, say, a lower trendline, and closes outside of the trendline. And then the confirmation for an entry is when a subsequent...

Ammo, I think you have a lot of good information to offer. However, your writing, imo, is often so confusing that I spent far too much time trying to make sense of it, and usually give up. By the way, what the hell is L and C? I do not see an L or a C on the chart?

Thank you for the info I am still trying to catch up. I am only on page 20 of this thread. I have read your post on page 20 about ten times. It was very helpful to me. I work full time driving a truck do my time is limited. Shots Fired.

\ This quoted post is as far as I have gotten thus far in this thread, which i am studying closely. I do not see any difference between the so-called nuance trade, which was just introduced by Metal, and what we have been learning thus far. In other words, the nuance trade looks exactly like...

Is "second mouse" a known trading term? I suspect I understand what it means. It means basically wait for a retest of a trend line before getting in, correct?

I read your post again today (the early post that referenced your chart), and I was able to figure out what you were saying. The first time I read it, I struggled to figure out what you were saying. I think it was more your writing style than anything else. But I went through it slowly tonight...

I used this method (the one described by the OP in his first post) this morning. Usually I use the Value Area High and Value Area Low, and Point of Control, S1, R1, and horizontal trend lines for my trading parameters. It hasn't worked out too well. So I tried the technique that is being...
