Over the weekend there was a discussion about Ensign and it was thought that they didn't offer a free trial - it doesn't say anything about a free trial on the website. I contacted Howard today to see what the situation was and here's what he sent me... "Installing the program gives you a 1...

Fret not infoload - I've been trading since 1986. The moon and I have this thing going on and it's sweet.

Gettin ready for the change on moon ;)

Ahhhh, here's a chart of the thing

The moon - ie lunar calendar. It might not perform the best, but I like looking at it so it's my favourite cause it looks pretty. Then I add the Square of degrees and it just looks like it's gotta make money. I don't use it for trading though!

minor pullback and strong push up on this chart but the Dow could ruin the party

Funny enough, you're right. But then I think you need to know what you are doing in every arena of endeavour that you expect to succeed in. Any other approach is a version of insanity. Welcome to the real world!

"Frequently, the range will be 10 basis points or more. In e-mini S&P (which is one-fifth the size of the full S&P contract), this translates into a $500 daily range. Most daytraders new to the game are laboring under the false impression that a small stop loss will protect them from big losses...

what do you want to chart and what timeframe?

acronym, guess I must be wierd or something cause I'm not selling anything and won't be. This thread is and will always be a freebie. I think it's fantastic that you have a working paper system with huge potential and no doubt reflects huge effort on your part. But after 4+ years quit kickin'...

lol acronym. Isn't that the dream we all bought into before we crashed and burned? You're dead right mate, but I found out that 20 years hard work with countless 100 hour weeks produces results my pixie dust couldn't. A perfect all-in-one platform is a perfect way to loose your shirt if you...

TimDog, the most important thing is to become familiar enough with a few tools that you have proven with set ups that really work 80% + of the time. If you clutter your chart you get analysis paralysis. Trend lines and horizontals are ESSENTIAL and channels are a superb use of trend lines.The...

TimDog, the 2 - 4 day timeframe is tricky for S&R because price daily price action doesn't show reversal points in that timeframe. I have good examples of what I look at but first lets deal with targets. I seldom use targets because it can keep me in too long or make me pull out too early, so...

tyler, part of the discovery process for you will be finding a timeframe that suits your risk profile and this affects the finer points in S&R. I will assume you have grasped basic S&R concepts like horizontals from hi/lo's and trendlines. I would suggest you work out what suits you on...

tyler - what timeframe are you trading?

Arnie gave a great answer. I use indicators as well as price action. If fundamentals work best for you, go with it. If you can really make it work, there's a big demand for someone with something to say on fundamentals that's relavent to trading. Years back I worked for a broker in London and...

Eckhardt, poor chap, doesn't understand the scope of TA. A scapler looks for turning points in price action - that's all. Doesn't matter if it's a robot, mass psychology or a news driven event that turns price. His grasp of maths is do doubt fantastic, but I suspect it comes at the expense of a...
