First trade: a breakout to new intraday highs. Found this because it was a top gainers on the morning and was basing right at 5 min 200 sma resistance. Initial resistance (partials) was from prior day's highs. It also had a 60 minute reversal pattern though so was looking for $19.50 on the rest...

No trades for me today.. sat by and watched the news whip the market around.

ES/SPY Initial Entry: 821-821.25/82.67 Secondary Potential Entry: 820.75 Exit: 823.25-823.75/82.84-82.91 This one was based upon the fact that we had had three waves of selling off the highs and coming into mid-day with strong price support at the morning lows. This took quite awhile...

Not a very active week for me so far, but here are my alerts for the week (the exits on most are the blue except on Tuesday the red resistance was used in the ES and end of day in FISV which I consider to have been the poorest because the market was getting strength in so I warned of the higher...

"So, if the breakouts "strategy" doesn't work at this market, why they (if they are good traders) don't change a strategy? Trading is about adapting, isn't it...? " Yes, it is about adapting. Breakouts are only one strategy I use. I don't think strategies "stop working", they just work...

Hello Info, We are currently in the process of redesigning our site and since it takes me about an hour a day to update the tracking as it is done in depth I have not gotten the last several weeks posted which is why the link is down. It will of course be up on the new site we are hoping to...

"I voted "no" but only because there was no third choice such as "Brandon should stay but contribute as a fellow trader and not as a vendor". " For what it's worth (if anything) Brandon has always been extremely active on the message boards... long before he ever ran a for fee service or...

"One thing Ive noticed about you is that you cant shutup." I have the phone bill to prove this!:p

:p lol

Actually, I read the entire thread... There were good posts. Unfortunately, they were hard to find and quickly bashed. "hey, doesn't pay to have your nose stuck up in the air like that..." - limitdown Thank you, glad that my commentary was taken equally seriously. "Another question is...

We are out there and our numbers are growing. We may not be very active on message boards, but do think about it... Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to commentary such as the majority of posts here. We have a lot of obstacles to overcome. We are still fighting for equal pay for...

Looking for a triangle breakout buy in DL above $21 with a stop under $20.35 to be raised quickly to under the 5 min 200 sma and then under the lows of the base of $20.75 intraday.

The markets finally showed a bit of gumption Tuesday (I can't believe I used the word "gumption." <g>) After a pretty lack-luster open, the Consumer Confidence report came out for April which offered a ray of hope to market participants. The market pounced on the news, snatched it up and ran...

It is a shame about message boards, email and the like, because so often people can come across in ways they do not mean and as people they are not in life. It can be difficult to have an intelligent conversation without people taking something the wrong way, or taking it the right way but not...

The problem I see people having with breakouts these days isn't that don't work. It's just that most traders never studied them well enough to discern in which instances they are most favorable to break out as continuations and in which instances they will most likely fail. In today's...

The markets headed lower on Monday as anticipated, but instead of continuing lower out of the open and reversing late in the day as expected, it fell into a very narrow range right away. The range tightened going into the noon hour as the Nasdaq hit lower highs and higher lows to form a...
