    Is there almost NO volume today?

    .... or is it my data provider, DTNIQ ? I'm seeing about a 1/4 of normal volume, if that much on the ES. 9/11 Holiday ? jd

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Yeah, I meant divergence when I wrote DV. I don't know if you still use 1m charts like you mentioned in your march 03 thread about finding the trend of the day, but anyway.... looking backward today you could see a clear divergence of the ADX and also the DI +/- on my 1m ES chart this morning...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    db, Regarding #4, I figured you were talking about DV looking at the ADX, the DI+/ DI- each on their own but wasn't sure. I have the ADX on one pane and the DI +/ - on another. I find it's easier to see that way. However, using them in this fashion prevents me from seeing some of the...

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    db, A few of questions for you: 1- 945, is that eastern ? 2- what chart, 1, 3, 5m ? 3- do you use premarket data or start your charts at open? 4- divergence looking at the indicators on their own, or between them ? Finally, who is LeBeau and where can I learn about him...

    Divergence Trade Thread

    VT, I don't know about him, but I saw a very clear DV on my (your) 1M chart using your old settings from your previous thread, oh low those many days ago :) I didn't take it though. There wasn't anything to confirm it, as far as I could tell anyway. jd

    Emini divergence journal

    Here's one where on my ES charts I was showing the ADX over 30 at 1025a and the Chaikin Money Flow (don't have regular Chaikin) well into DV at the 1055a bar. FYI only. jd

    NPP, I think db is right. After this last year or so of trading this, you see the relationships that happen between the prices and the indicators and the hits and misses you've had and what happened when. You've optimized your head and your reactions with the SP/Chaikin/Keltner...

    Offshore's Trading Journal

    Thanks for starting a journal. Looks like the computer skills really worked well today with your expiration day test. Your earlier post said you bought the SP this morning at 992.50. Good job :) Anyway, it said you were doing a 1 day and 9 day trade. Could you explain a little more...

    just a thought, but could it be the reason it failed was that on Friday we had very very low volume all day up until the last 15 minutes of trading. Could this have thrown off the Chaikin Os? jd

    Emini divergence journal

    If similar people doing similar things at similar times prevents success, then why are we all spinning our collective wheels here? If it's true that no one with a successful system would ever share said system with ET readers, then what is this exercise all about? If we all gain...

    It absolutely does make sense. Shows my lack of experience that I didn't see it. I could just keep my mouth shut and not look as dumb, then again, I wouldn't learn anything that way. So, dump person in training here :) thanks sharp, jd

    Emini divergence journal

    I've heard this quite often. Can you elaborate as to why this is true? Let's say a thousand people knew about this system and traded it. When the price hit what we all thought was the correct price to, let's say sell, wouldn't everyone else's selling make the price go down even more thus...

    Emini divergence journal

    I just had some Fajitas and they said it had "steak" in it, but I'm not so sure :) Perhaps after seeing the great results the past few weeks and reading about no pm's past success, maybe I just didn't want offshore raining on my parade of possibly being able to match no pm's success...

    Emini divergence journal

    no...no personal state. It just seemed a bit over the top. But I'm not the moderator. If you guys want this guy's comments, fine by me. Could be I over reacted to the constant negative tone. But if someone has 14 years of trading experience and tells us he has better systems, I'd sure...

    Emini divergence journal

    Maybe you could start your own journal or thread and mention one of these simple ways to take money out of the the market on a semi consistent basis, if you think there is such a thing. Personally, and this may only be my opinion, I believe your usefulness to this thread is over now. You...

    Emini divergence journal

    No, neither of the above are the Chaikin Oscillator, but you can make the Money flow show just about the same thing. Originally I had it set for 10 with a 2 smoothing, but no pm mentioned he tried it set at 20 and it seemed to be pretty close to what the Oscillator was showing. I've tried...

    Emini divergence journal

    VisionTrader, Have you changed your stoch and MACD settings since your journal, (which I read every single post and thank you very much for it)? I have my VT charts set at 6.5.1 stoch and 4,13,1 MACD. Did I set them different from you previously? And to no pm....continued thanks. I...
