Yuck, time to get out the snow tires. Sloppy sloppy. Banker

It pays to have the Jeep and the Caddy. At least for me. Then either the tight or the loose trends can be played properly. Banker

I missed seeing the breakout excitement when I drove the Caddy by itself on the chart. It's fun to watch people fall all over themselves and dash in to buy or sell. Banker

Thanks In and Long, I'm glad you enjoyed the simple method. Simple doesn't mean the trading will be easy. For after all there is no easy money in the markets (or at least not for long). When I started drawing in the Caddy, I find the constant interaction with the charts is really...

This is the solution I came up with for now. I draw in what I feel the Cadillac would be showing me. Banker

Well I just had to look. I mean how long can you really trade your account without knowing what you have done? I'm a curious person. In theory the Cadillac idea made sense to me. It seemed to back test adequately, and it seemed to forward test adequately. The real test is trading of course...

I won't be able to drive the Caddy for the morning session tomorrow. I have an appointment away from ES. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday the 13th. Banker

I'm done for the day. The only slope I see is so mild it makes no sense to trade it. Looks like ascending chop to me. Might be good for some to try and swing trade or scalp, but it doesn't appear either side is clearly in dominant control, so that makes trend trading difficult. I think my...

I wonder if there will be enough time today to settle this little bermuda triangle? Banker

Looking at the chart, it doesn't appear as though someone playing the 30 minute breakout made much money today. Since my last post there was a little upward slope which has since failed. It failed right around the area where long term bears would have to consider running for cover. When that...

I'm bearish if I can find a down slope, I'm bullish if I can find an up slope. I'm neither if I can't find a slope at all. The little trend lines I drew on my first chart this morning were basically a picture into my mind. Constantly asking myself the questions: Who is in control of prices...

I guess I can't have my email program open when I send a chart through QT. I think that last little ramp yesterday threw me off track. Now I think I'm back to focusing on the big picture. I'm sure my account will find out soon enough. Chart attached. Banker

That was finally a decent one. Now I can't make a case for myself to be bullish or bearish, so it's time to wait again. Banker P.S. QT wouldn't send my chart via email, so I can't attach anything.

I've taken a lot of trades so far today (chart attached). So far I haven't hooked on to a big fish yet. Banker

Thanks Gs, I know what I have shown people is definitely out of the ordinary. A vague set of rules, and a chart that seems just as vague. To me they match each other fairly well. Now if I were trying to be a swing trader, or a scalper, I would dismiss this whole idea as nonsense. For...

5 minutes too late for what? To enter the chop? What will the jumping candles tell you exactly? I bet you have a much better way to trade, but you are not willing to disclose it. Is that right? Banker

Yes, I just started trading today. It was all beginner's luck. I flipped a coin every once in a while and bet short on tails and long on heads. Yes, that's what I did. Tomorrow I will probably blow out my account and never be seen again on this message board. Banker

All I can say is that I love it. Banker :)

That's it for today. I can't take any new trends this late in the day. Chart attached. Banker

Those are my slope markers. They help to keep me focused on the trend I am trading. The fourth trade looks like some sort of ramp or something. What a day! Banker
