ROTFLMAO! The first time I've ever used that net abbrev, and I've been online since I was happy to have a 110 baud modem.

My confusion about the need for the divergence to show at ADX over 30 only comes from a trade which you demonstrated on 08/14, about halfway down page 43 (11:24 EDT). It looked as though there was divergence, then you waited for another high to begin looking for entry anyway. I can't see why...

Thanks no_pm. I thought that was the case originally, but then there were a couple of times when there was a divergence in place, and you mentioned something about waiting for another high to fail. At that point it looked as though you wanted the whole divergence to be at ADX 30+. I wish...

Now I'm confused. I thought that the whole divergence had to occur while the ADX is over 30.

Magna, Thanks for lending some clarity. I was concerned that we may be introducing variations without even realizing it, and thus muddying the waters. I'll get some charts together tomorrow. It's Nyquil time :) Mark

I've been trading this method as well. Similar track record for September, a couple more points though, perhaps because I've been staring at my screens all day ;) Only a couple of losses this month. I'm very eager to read about no_pm's other method though, as this one seems to be very valid...

Only if you're up to reading this and answering, no_pm: How do you feel about a potential entry where the first high in a divergence occurs when the ADX is slightly over 30, and the second high is slightly under 30? Or if the ADX dips below 30 between the highs, but is above 30 at both...

I haven't had much contact with rlb, but the posts of his regarding his moderation skills which I have read indicate someone who is open to learning and critique of his style and methods. inandlong seems to me to be intelligent and gracious. When I first came to these boards, he and I were...

Guess I found my answer, posted at the same time that I posted this! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=22780

Did anyone else stop getting data on Dec ES at 4:03 EDT today? Wondering if this was limited to IQfeed or if it originated with the exchange, thereby affecting all the data vendors. When I tried to download today's "historical" data a few minutes ago, it also cut off at 4:03. Just wanted to...

Actually, since he asked us to withold questions until he can show us examples of this method in action, I doubt that it makes too much sense to speculate about it right now. I certainly appreciate your eagerness though! Mark

You take care of yourself and know that our thoughts are with you, no_pm. Get lots of rest and make sure about the liquid intake. Been there. Mark

Hmmm, it's been over a month since we've seen a post from no_pm. I was really looking forward to him continuing this journal, or at least giving us some examples in the other journal he started about his other method. I know he was fighting an infection. no_pm, if you're reading this, I...

http://www.tssupport.com/support/base/?action=article&id=538 If it's past the rollover date, use the second method on that page. That's how I've done it with no problems at all. Read the instructions carefully. Once you try it they will make perfect sense :) Mark

lescor, Looks to me like you did just fine. I was in the same trade, just wish I had held it as long. As I said above, I got concerned when the risk/reward got dicey, so I bailed at breakeven. Also the 3PM Consumer Credit numbers were about to come out. Next time I'll know better. You're...

almostatrader, I don't think you'll have the best results with MACD on this. You might want to try CCI or even slow stochastics. Perhaps someone else knows whether Chaiken is available on Ensign. Does it accept imported indicators? If so, run a google search for Ensign and Chaiken. But...

I got out at BE. After all this time, and the bottom Keltner coming up, the risk/reward just wasn't worth it.

We talked about it right around the time that no_pm got sick. We didn't come to any conclusion, and unfortunately he wasn't around to weigh in on it. Hmm, I wish the high I was selling off of in this divergence had been a little higher. Now that I'm committed I don't want to bail though.

Short ES 1030.75 11:35 ET bar - details to come. Stop is at 1033.50 Edit: Although maybe this journal should be saved for no_pm ? Guess we're all posting thoughts on the method while he's under the weather; keeping the thread alive and all. Get well soon no_pm!

On the big SP that's when it contacted the upper keltner. I haven't tried these keltner parameters on the mini.
