THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: CONTRARIAN THINKING If you have read this thread you will have seen lots of times I size up what the majority opinion is and look for a signal that allows me to do the opposite. Contrarian thinking was something I was introduced to early in my trading career and it has...

22's are fine - I use 8 of them (plus 2x17 & 1x8). Using 1X19 + 3X22 shouldn't be a problem provided your software allows you to save a workspace that is not a standard size rectangle, and most S/w would allow for that.

A simple top where intraday TL meets Daily - didn't expect such a no-brainer gift! The reason I chipped in that I was top fishing was because it was ATM time and it has not disappointed. I have a friend who is an excellent trader and he wouldn't be seen dead using a TL. It's just another...

ATM top was as simple as a TL on the hourly or 1 min. Toppy cycles gaves us way, way over 100 pips and as usual the turn happened well in advance of news so when it got whippy at news time you could play it if you had the skillset or ride thru it if you preferred to sit in your position...

remember very toppy cycles. Run your TL along those 1 Hr highs that really stick up proud.

So much for top fishing! When cycles get to completion they either reverse and ATM or go into overdrive continuation and that's where the 30min and 15 min can pay huge dividends keeping you right in reading the 1 hr. The pop down from 44 was a nice no brainer PIB and when I saw the screamer...

Good point Willl. 2 things to mention... 1> Before the 4 min mile it was considered impossible. Now it's commonplace. Same in every field. Lots of traders trade 2 hrs and take a break and everyone they trade thinks you can only be effective for 2 hrs. I can run 18 hrs without boredom or...

here are the TL I used today

hope you got good sense of TL's today. Mine on other PC so can't easilt post. Use Hr bars and draw triangle - top from prior hi, not top and bottom should be obvious. On base now for H&S break and daily gap fill

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LEARN HOW TO TRADE EVERY WHICH WAY THE MARKET MOVES? I remember the guys crying and doing lines of coke in 1987. I remember being so stressed out I lay on the floor and almost passed out. Now it's the new guys' turn...

I expected it to pop up for 1 - 2 days duration but not 3 days as that once again brings cycles into conflict, so the jury is still out However I have posted a chart showing where we left off, where we are now and a weekly chart with red monthly and white quarterly lines added. The pink line...

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - TRADING IS LIKE CATCHING A BUS I forget to say the reason I posted the oil chart at that time was because of the posts on ET about going short for an oil crash. My first experience of a Crash was Monday Oct19th 1987 and when you experience one you never forget it - or...

I want to get a Dual Wan and it looks like they come with a firewall. I already have a Linksys Broadband Firewall Router that I am happy with. Can I plug the Linksys into the Dual Wan or should I just use the Dual Wan? Is two firewalls better... or not needed... or conflicting? Any help...

We might get into how to play levels sometime in the future so it's a good thing to remember 50% is a common level rather than just a Fib Level. Everyone and his dog has a 50% level. Gann's use of this level was unique and he divided the market into 8th's and 3rd's. 50% is an 8th level and...

hey hey... now you're flying Willl

Thanks kal. Perhaps helpful to others but holding a trade just runs counter to my need for fun and action. On another note, if you put bar PA on your Sigma channels you'll get a lot more interest in what you do.

Internet accidently discovered to have a gaping security hole! Guys I started this thread to get some help with patching up my PC against the biggest hole ever found on the internet. Just want to make you aware of it because it seems I need to get my ISP to do their bit too. Will...
