Most of the signals that I have seen on your charts were engulfing patterns. Interesting to see that you keep everything so simple. A mentor that i've had for some time online always yells castigates me when I try to get fancy and overcomplicate things. I am not at a point in my trading...

Bring that scholarship to the U of A now!. That would be fantastic. Hehe... Awsome though...

Anek. Halfway through the journal. Great stuff. Will be done by late next week (have finals soon so gotta concentrate on te matter at hand). Will start posting paper results a little later than I expected, but excited to reduce my timeframe to a length I think better suits my personality...

Ok maybe I just need to let the mind rest a bit and retry. I could not catch the reason for all the entries and so I was generalizing. I will refer to specific charts in the future. I just realized my last response sounded rude. Didn't mean to. Just typed a quick response to see if you would get...

In this case I am actually wondering what you use. Will post some entries soon... Thanks.

I am sure that I simply forgot the details, but hopefully someone can still answer. I have read up to page 88 actually so im sure I just have forgotten it in the flurry of reading. I usually enter on the break of the low / high (either going short or long with the trend) when decent r/w is...

Anek - I am a swing equities trader but somehow managed to stumble upon your journal. Lo and behold your style is VERY close to what I do now. Just want to make a comment that your journal has been very helpful to me. Although I trade interday, the stocks i trade look a lot like what your...

I'm not a master trader... but I think the thought of "how much longer should I wait" is completely wrong. It's not about waiting. You already know the market doesn't owe you anything. The answer is you will wait until you learn how to trade... for some people that is never. For others, a...

From never seeing any posts from you before... after seeing that graphic i find your advice a little questionable. It's real easy to buy and sell at exact turning points right? Haha... not. Honestly... I know it wasn't your purpose to show how to make money on the strategy, but to catch...

Being 100% serious, JCP wasn't that great to go long on the chart you showed me although it did offer MANY good shorting opportunities after it broke down. Cash... believe me... the pullbacks are easy to see realtime if you know what you are looking for. Trade WITH the trend on a longer...

Just as an example.... I only trade interday but you get the jist... IFLO for a short today. Multiple convergences with break of trend line/approach of broken support and 20/50 DMA crossover (a signal that i use but not really necessary). Very weak candlesticks to the upside and strong to...

Cash... some friendly advice. Stop playing breakouts out of patterns and try to concentrate more immediately on price. In fact, stop trying to trade breakouts period. I have never once met a trader who advocated playing breakouts over pullbacks. Pullbacks are easier and give you better...

Just want to add. I use initial r/w based on support and resistance and the price bars where I enter. I never really understood the whole fixed targets either and stop losses but I guess some make it work. Stops will change for me based on what stock im playing. Some stocks you gotta let...

I can't speak for anyone else as I know its an individual matter, but when I started to be more selective with my setups and only played 2 for 1 scenarios, it went a long ways towards bringing me up from bleeding to slightly profitable. I swing trade interday with the trend...sometimes I...

Just popping this thing back up to say im long on SCON @6.40 and long on CRDC tomorrow if we get a break above the high (@9.26). Size is fairly small considering these issues are so volatile. Well that, and my acct size is tiny.

Here's a question that might be better in the immediate term. I am being offered some internships with some local brokerages like merril and ag edwards but as I am fully aware of, its mostly bitch work. Not what I want to do despite what it may put on my resume. Does anyone have any ideas...

Thanks for the advice guys. I will look through more threads as well. Most likely I will stay in college for the just in case scenario. That was never really the question - as much as I dislike my classes, I realize that not everyone is cut out for trading. I guess my mentor was too good in...

Right now I am 100% on scholarship. I dont qualify for financial aid currently to go to an Ivy as im still a dependent but I plan on declaring myself as an independent in 1-2 yrs time. Thanks for your avice. I do agree that college is all about who you know. I have plenty of ambition and...

Ok... the U of A business school FYI is actually pretty good as far as public Universities are concerned. We routinely rank top 3 in MIS and entreprenurship, for example (of all public universities). Anyways, that's not the point. Eventually I do plan on going to a better grad school. I...
