Awesome morning. Looks like we are going to test the lows. If 1433 doesnt hold it could get really bloody.

What kind of charts are you using? Things were pretty clear on the 10k. Lovely morning.

Pretty choppy day alright. Only one trade for me. Shorted the double top when those three bars failed to take out 70.25 after stalling there earlier. Targeted the previous swing low.

I trail stops once it gets going. I was referring to those times when it never gets going but starts stalling out shortly after entry. Sometimes this happens even with a logical entry. As you have said, the good ones usually go your way right away.

I found out that thats the way they work.:) They are not like regular candles. Still dont know why the trendlines move though. I downloaded Multicharts and am giving them a looksee.

Thx for the input. I have been looking at volume bars for a few days now and I am slowly coming around.

Not that it matters a whole lot but Ive always been curious why they chose that name.

That was an interesting article but its not clear to me if the advertiser had the trojan built into their banner or did someone, somehow, attach the trojan to the banner? You would still have to clik on the banner to get the trojan wouldnt you?

I think Anec is right about letting winners run being the key to getting to the next level. I am getting better at it but still have a ways to go. Small wins cover small losses and keep you in the game as long as you avoid the larger losses but its the occasional home runs that build the...

WTG Razor. I wonder why you are using heikin ashi on single colored bars tho. Kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it? I am making this comment because I have found the color coding to be helpful, especially in hanging with a trade. Psycholically easier to stay with a trade when the color matches...

Theres the old saying that if a triangle breaks one way then reverses and goes out the other side you want to get on board. Sure was the case today but I didnt do any longs. Only had one more short late in the afternoon but overall a very nice day. I am now using a 50k volume chart for primary...

Has the current volatility caused you to tighten controls at all?

Two shorts so far this morning. We are forming a nice sym. triangle here.

booyah If you want to go to bed early you can get up around 3:00am and trade the Dax and Estx50. Really not much different than trading the minis.

This is not much different from what Ive been doing, pullbacks and double tops and bottom, but I am always looking to improve. The thing that has been an eyeopener is paying more attention the the sequence of highs and lows. I thought I was aware of the swing highs and lows but apparently it...

Thx. I guess I should read up on the things before using them, huh? Thats not the only thing screw up tho. My trendlines keep moving too. That doesnt happen on time charts. Weird.

Im having problems with Quotetracker using volume bars with heiken ashi. The do some weird things. The last price does not match the last on the candle. I may have to look around if I decide to keep using these things. Three shorts so far this morning. Still in the last one.

I almost never take the first breakout but this morning it made two attempts at breaking the high with only minimal pullbacks. When they headed that way for the third time I felt pretty strongly that it was going to go.

I was expecting strong resistence at 1500 but it was a little late in coming in. Went another 5 points beyond my exit. Oh well. I have started watching volume charts alongside my regular charts and I can see some interesting differences. With overnite data included you could make a pretty good...
