Done for the day and traveling the rest of the week... bringing my 3-ring binder to study so I should have many questions to post next week.

nice call

oil report at 10:30 ET... does that explain the lateral start to the day???

I haven't looked into IF1-2 yet but I found these notes in a glossary from the MSN site: IF1 says be alert if the price on the current bar passes the prior close going against you (it may come back). Flag is up. IF2 says that when you pass the end of the bar going the wrong way, reverse.

Morning all, I live just north of Houston so will be focused more on Rita than the markets over the next few days... will catch up soon. txuk

It's good to see you posting charts Stalker... it helps to see how a variety of people are viewing the channels as they develop...

Keep in mind Scientist was scalping for ticks, so a different strategy altogether. When sweeping in SCT the DOM is meant to be a fine control... most decisions are made without ever looking at it. I linked to Scientist's post only because it made an impression on me and I thought it agreed...

osho67, I found this doc to be a useful guide to the types of trades to consider under the three broad strategies. For example, it shows pt1 to pt2 is a valid enter-hold-exit trade.

on the 5min chart I just posted it appears we had an IT breakout but on the Daily chart it looks like we are just flirting with the line.

bar 62

my method is a pain too, and leaves plenty of room for inaccuracy. I find a bar that touches the RTL of the IT and then choose any other point on the line, noting its time & price. I take those two points to the next chart to plot the RTL... once that is done it is easy to drop the parallel...
