I may slap some Keltners on my charts for the next few days. Not sure I would have needed the Keltners on those charts you posted in your link -- the bear flags looked pretty solid based solely on their pullback to the ema during a strong trend. My goal is always to keep my charts as...

to Bollinger Bands?? Why?? Thanks for the feedback!

Personally I'd still go for singles/doubles if I were in his situation. I think he needs to prove for himself that he has a strategy than can actually produce a positive expectancy (which to date he has never had, as far as I know). Once he's satisfied that he does have a successful strategy...

on the wrong side of the Brothers Grim news today early on -- then again in the PM when the damn news conference came out w/ the General confirming the killing of Qusay/Uday:eek: :eek: Just below break-even for the day. (also had to deal w/ multiple Tradestation outages:mad: :mad: :mad...

for help in timing entry/exit. I never have -- but I've recently talked with traders who swear by them. I generally do have Bollinger Bands on my charts, but don't use them as a primary signal. Thanks. Dog PS - My time frame is the 5 minute (along w/ 1 and 30 minute charts) on the QQQ

ahh, the "Martingale Strategy" ie. - increase the size of your bet during losing periods. or put another way: the surest way to go broke when undercapitalized. I hate to bet against you GG, but unless you stop swinging for the fences and start spraying around the singles and...

I posted in the Gordon "back from the dead" thread and my post showed up here:confused: kinda creepy.:eek: :eek: :eek:

ie. - increase the size of your bet during losing periods. or put another way: the surest way to go broke when undercapitalized. I hate to bet against you GG, but unless you stop swinging for the fences and start spraying around the singles and doubles, you're doomed. Show a...

this is getting ridiculous! I was in the middle of a trade too (and am still in). As I'm typing this, the platform just came back up. :confused: :eek: :mad:

As of 10:50 PST Tradestation again is having intermittent connection problems. :confused:

Trade Your Way to the Finest Meats and Cheeses Money Can Buy by Mr. Hairy Market :eek:

:cool: Shorter time frames on the wife will drive you crazy -- I find there's sometimes too much noise to get an accurate signal on the 1 and 5 minute time frames. If I'm getting that bearish feeling I like to try to get away for awhile and look for a reversal later in the day/night...

... or you could just move closer to the mountain:eek: Where do you ski? My travel time is 5 1/2 hours (LA to Mammoth)

I have a couple of old bumperstickers that I could slap on the RV as well - "Ass, gas, or grass - no one rides for free!" And of course, "If the van's a'rockin -- don't come a knockin!' :cool:

simultaneously drive, trade, and snap one off on the windshield? If so... I may be interested. Are there wipers on the "inside" as well? I'm going to bounce this idea off of my wife and 3 month old baby to see if they're down with it. :cool:

What are "willowing and crabbing?" ... and where is Din Yang??

50% TA 50% Gut ** I know that sounds generic -- it's not. The "gut percentage" should increase with every year you trade. Those who say gut is not a factor should talk to some of the boys (err -- geezers) at the MERC! In the end, it really all comes down to -- I hate to use a tired...

you need to have a clearer idea of what the hell you're doing -- ie. - risk/reward parameters!! Don't just trade for the sake of trading -- sounds like you're fly'in by the seat of 'yo pants! Ask yourself on each trade - "how much am I willing to risk in order to make x dollars?" Make...

Don't be "Fooled by Randomness.":cool:

Not generally a good idea to short the screamers (at least it's not normally my style) -- but couldn't resist stepping on AMAT. I don't have a lot of conviction, but I got ahead pretty fast on this one so I've got a decent cushion. Have a very conservative break-even stop @ 18.98. I fully...
