Kinggyppo, We might rally today. I try very hard to trade without any bias. However, I am a "bear" at heart. That's one of the big reasons that I trade the futures market (YM) instead of individual stocks is that I can get short in about 2 seconds. In reality, I am looking for...

Jack Hershey, Question??? You talk about trading using the 5 minute charts with the future's market. Could you explain "why" the 5 minute chart? I've traded the 1, 2, 3, and 5 minute charts. I prefer the 2 minute chart myself. But, I would like to hear all your reasons for using...

4X1S4U, I've been watching your system. Actually we trade a lot the same. I use line charts, with the macd and the guppy system (multiple moving averages). Question's: 1). What are your "sar" settings? 2). Do you like the line charts vs. bar charts vs. candle charts? 3)...

Trader28, I am still using the macd 12-26-9 and the sma3 + 2, 100% for all my trades. I basically trust it. Question (?)... Do you watch the histogram at all? I've noticed that if prices are going up and the histogram is trending down that prices will start to break down. Could...

It was nice wasen't it!!! Don't ya just luv that George guy... So I guess the "BEER" is on me once again... I'll meet you in the bar. I'll be the one with a Captain Morgan Rum... Thanks Trader28 for all your help!!! snarlyjack

I totality agree with you!!! Going "bullish" or long is very hard for me, cause I am a "bear" at heart. I don't trust the economy or the stock market. But, I watch it very closely and if it even starts to wiggle weird I get out. If I was a "Bull" now, I'd buy a Harley Motorcycle...

Jack Hershey taught me no "bias". Were only in a trade for a few minutes anyway. I just caught the trade on the (YM) from 12570 to 12595 when I bailed out. ( Fast 25 points or $125.00). So I can go home now. snarlyjack

Good Morning Vietnam!!! Were here and accounted for, Sir.... snarlyjack

Thanks Beeflover, I took today off (Friday), my Mom needed some help so you know who she calls...me... Thanks for the setting, I'll check it out. Stoch 14-1-3. But wait for the 2nd line (slow stoch) to move through the zero line. I just put it on my screen and it looks good but you...

TrendPro, Good advice 1 day would be excellent... Trust is hard but ya gotta have it!!! I guess the bottom line is: If you don't have trust you don't have much! Thanks snarlyjack

Trendpro, Thanks... it feels good to be home. Now it is just really learning the system inside and out. snarlyjack

Shewey, I trade the (YM, 2 minute chart). SPM is not a perfect mechanical system! It has basic guidelines and their is lot's of discretion involved in it. I've found that after studying it for 6 months that you also have to be "street smart" about trading. Using SPM plus street...

The next real question is??? Now that we have spent 6 months fooling around with the settings and have come back to the original settings... How do we learn all the nuances of the market? Is it just spending time in the market and watching every little move that it makes??? snarlyjack

****Trader28**** YOU WIN!!!! I just wanted to let you know after "fooling" with different settings for 6 months, I am back to the "original" Colonel Sanders recipe. Or better know as (SPM) Simple Profitable Method. Macd 12-26-9 with SMA3 + 2. (How is that for simple)? YM, 2...

Beeflover, I did posts a message to Jack Hershey about his "stop and reverse" system. But so far I haven't heard back from him. So...let me get this straight? 14-1-3 (why this stoch and not the ) 5-2-3? What are your "gut" feeling about a stop and reverse system??? In the market...

Trader28, You remind me of me... Did you see on MSNBC that the U.S. is steaming two more Aircraft battle groups to the gulf to talk with Iran. I fear that things could get real interesting very soon. "Gun Boat Diplomacy". Anyway the YM does trade differently than the ER. That is...

Trader28, Don't know about luv...but it was a very nice 15 point short on the YM. SPM timed it perfectly... snarlyjack

Jimmy Jam, By the way our charts look very close to the same... Were on the same page!!! snarlyjack

Hey Jimmy Jam, The thing about our little "SPM" and all our little "extras" is, we can put them on our screens and watch them and go hummm... You have to admit that this is very interesting? I am back to: 1). SMA3 +2 2). SMA9 +2 3). Macd 12-26-9 4). Stoch 5-2-3 (just...

Hey Trader28, Do you watch/look at the 'Histogram" on the Macd at all? If a person would have taken all the Stoch 5-2-3, 50% crosses today, they would have been whiplashed to death? The SMA3 + 2 and SMA9 +2 are very accurate... Thanks snarlyjack
