MACD and CCI made money for me in the past. I am not saying I don't know or look at other indicators, but how do I know if XXX and YYY are better than MACD and CCI? Somewhere some time ago, someone said all the indicators are the same. Just pick the ones you are confortable with and stick...

I have seen this statement many times in the past but I had a hard time with it. Let me argue with an analogy. When it's raining, people use umbrellas. People using umbrellas is a derivative of raining. People using umbrellas doesn't cause it to rain; raining cause people to use umbrellas...

How strongly can I agree with you? I said "I think I know what the problem is", and this is the problem. Look at what happened to ZF, and what could have happened to QM and YG. The question is do I change the parameters now and second guess the decision later, or wait until the experiment is...

I did trade ZF a few times, but that doesn't change the conclusion.

Do you happen to be a stoolie? You sure sound like one. Two questions for you when you come back from a good time at the country fair: 1. "The change in trend"? Do you mean that a few day ago you thought the trend was down but now up? If so, on what time frame? 2. Many of us (and all...

A quick summary after 3 weeks: Something seems to be wrong. Basically, after I miss the entry, the market then runs away. YG: twice missed my entry point by a fraction of a point. If I got in both times, the profit will be +6, while the buy and hold profit is +8. QM: missed my entry...

Lost network access since last night. Just got it back but still shaky. GTC orders seem to be the way to go.

If that's the case, I did cover before the breakout and reenter after the breakout. If it hits my stop again, I will stop out and evaluate.

What do you suggest? I am listening.

MBA number out. No one is paying attention.

Actually your comments drew a pretty accurate picture of yourself. Some of your points you brought up many pages ago, and I always tried to explain how I disagree with them. Yet whatever I said seemed to fall on deaf ears. Either you refuse to accept that there can be different ideas or you fail...
