Believing you can read a chart and actually being able to do so are two different worlds. If you were able to read a chart correctly, you would have no need to post conspiracy theory and doom and gloom posts all over the net as your defense. Now, run along on down to the local coffee shop...

No, the market has been trending all day, all week, all month, all year in fact. What you are trying to say, and failed doing so, is that you were not able to tell which direction the market was trending. Blaming your inability to do so on mythical nonsense distinguishes those of you who think...

It's not stupid, it's a fact. If I understand him correctly, what he is saying is that if your method is solid, and you can actually read a chart, you should be raking in the cash on these moves. if you are losing money in this market, the market is telling you that your style of trading is...

LOL!!! Frank, I like the way you think! :D st

Excellent analysis. A snake oil salesman, a few lemmings, and a cubicle monkey or two are not a good cross section of what successful traders expend on the markets each day. To here them tell it, anyone with $500 and an internet connection is living the dream by haphazardly putting in a mere 2-3...

Exactly how do the exchanges create volatility? :confused: st

By the time you get the news via what's available for average retail traders, it's already old news. Trade the charts, not the cause. IOW, it matters non why the price is moving, just the fact that it is makes it tradable. st

Same here, although the INDU did quit updating for several minutes (southeast). I used paid data feeds for years, and I experienced more headaches with those than I ever have using the free IB data. Other than an few second occasional pink TWS screen, IB has been rock solid for the 2-3 years...

Isn't that the truth. Wasn't that long ago you worked hard to pilfer just 1-2 points on a five to seven point range day. Now, clipping 10-30 points on these current moves is almost a given. st

It's like Christmas in both July and August this year. Unreal summer action, as this time frame is typically akin to watching grass grow. These 20-30 point swings are simply amazing and have been easy to spot. st

Well said, and precisely on target. st

Hey, I never said I did not like your anchor charts! :confused: Fact is, I am always conscience of where support and resistance lies. Difference is, I plot S/R levels from 15/60 minute charts onto my CV chart before each market day and then never look at the higher time frame again. I do...

I'm curious as to why you would want to use different chart settings. The whole purpose of using constant volume is too take out the variables, not add them back. :D Any sound reasoning for your decision? Just asking! :D On another matter directed at no one in particular, if I may add, is to...

Proponent? I'll have to research the meaning of that word and get back to you on that! :D st

Valuable???? I'd say that is subjective to personal opinion. I was just called a "shill" on another thread! :D st

Your remarks indicate a willful obliviousness with regard to reality. st

Therein lies the problem. Enough said. st

For all practical purposes here, bar 2 should have a higher high and a higher low than bars 1 and 3 to be valid. These will typically give you the best moves with minimal failures. I should have been more clear on that The area you are referring to was 1444.25 @ 11:25 EST for reference. Note...

Yes, I was trading the ER2, but with this recent volatility, stops were having to be placed outside of my rule based targets, and or, I was getting my stops hit way too often. The ER2 was previously giving more bang for the buck, but the ES in this recent activity has been doing as well with...
