Looking at a different genre of books, would mention that I am really enjoying the "Gray Man" book series by Mark Greaney. Outstanding storytelling and action scenes along with a relatable protagonist.

Volpri, Although the suggestion that there is no noise in the market doesn't sound quite right to me, your comments regarding market inertia are well put and very important. My main trading strategies depend critically on this Newtonian physics-like phenomenon... "a body in motion will remain...

Hi Tradex, I know there are indicators that repaint and the ZigZag and Linear Regression Channel indicators and a few others like them are infamous for doing it. However, basic moving averages like the SMA, EMA, or WMA don't repaint. Once a price bar closes in a particular time frame and the...

Hi Volpri, I've been consistently profitable entirely from using a mechanical trading approach, and I could never in a million years trade the way that you do, but I enjoyed reading this fascinating and wonderfully detailed description of your thoughts about entering and managing trades using a...

The kids are bored too... sorry, it's a favorite Etrade commercial.

Regarding the stress issue, I'm with Deaddog as I swing trade using daily charts. Only instead of 6:30 in the morning, I look at charts around 5:00 PM, when currency futures have closed for the day and are re-opening. Analyzing the charts, placing new stop entry orders, and moving stop-loss...

Hi Moolah, Here is an interesting past ET thread on this topic. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/trading-hammers-revisited.52880/

This conversation reminds me of the crazy story regarding trading guru Robert Hoffman that sent the electrons flying in the trading world several years ago. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/did-robert-hoffman-really-lose-312k-in-a-single-tf-trade-yikes.223845/

Hi Drobby, If you are getting a 50% win rate with 2.5-to-1 RR, which is at the low end of the performance numbers you mentioned, then this corresponds to an approximate overall profit factor (gross gains from the winning trades divided by gross losses from the losing trades) of 2.5. My...

Hi wabu, Our household has been watching a lot of K-dramas the past couple of years and is slowly learning Korean. My probably not quite correct interpretation of your post is "I can't..." or "I don't..." and I can see that you've had a tough couple of days. Hang in there and keep learning...

As a followup to Learner's question, if a few members get together to chat in a Private Thread can they upload charts and videos as is done in regular threads... or to say it differently, are there common functions available in regular threads that are NOT available in private threads? Thanks...

I'm also a big fan. Dealmaker, thank you for your consistently interesting contributions to this forum.

Hi Wippi, In case it might be useful to you, I posted the suggestions below in Badget01's thread last fall. The thread is at https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/lost.335609/ Another related recent thread is https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/top-25-books.340256/ ---- Hi Badget, I...

etrades, You might take a look at the Hall of Fame Threads found at the bottom of the EliteTrader homepage. Several of them demonstrate trading using technical analysis.

I look at a British webmagazine called The Technical Analyst occasionally too. Can be refreshing to see all the different ways their analysts present and discuss recent charts. They're at https://www.technicalanalyst.co.uk/

I'm a big fan of the magazine Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities that was mentioned earlier. The latest December issue has a great interview with Perry Kaufman and a lot of the monthly interviews are interesting, even when I disagree with some of the comments of the interviewees. A guy...

Tom, Interesting that I just saw these posts by you and Mickey about noise in today's markets. Have been reading Kaufman's new edition of Trading Systems and Methods and he spends a fair amount of time addressing the issue. After describing his favorite method for measuring "noisiness"...

Magna's nice thread with instructions for posting images and videos is closed to further replies so I'm doing a test upload here. Will see if it ends up too big or too small... Interesting that when I select Preview... I only see a "View attachment 215934" link rather than the actual picture...
