A. When the stouts wear off from celebrating todays action, We would love to see a chart of your trades, as this was a very mixed day initially, ending with great opps. I got chopped up early, but did catch and add to the nice ride down. I am noticing that all swing failures, say from a...

Solom, Post a chart for constructive input.

A. I saw a db and a dt today. What am I missing in seeing these as valid setups? Thanks, D

mwald. Nice work today. I have a few questions. What constitutes a trend line for you? How many bars minimum? Do you consider the trend in any manner or just take the breaks as they come? How long have you been trading in this manner? It's about as simple as it can get. Thanks for...

I often see posters refering to, or requiring an "edge" to make it as a trader. Sometimes you will find a qualification of an "edge" or a generalized conceptual idea of it, but never anything worth while. Since all traders have the opportunity to see the same data, the "edge" can not be in...

The test is how it does on a non trending day. Uh, I bet you knew that already. :D

A. Reading back, you have already described your scaling out process. I just forgot....... "As far as scaling out, if I happen to choose that route I make sure my first target is AT THE VERY LEAST as big as my stop. Then I quickly move stop to BE and let it ride as much as I can until price...

A. Guess i'm in a nitpicking mood tonight, sorry. Say your small stop on a long entry ( long based on perhaps 2 closes above a restiance level) with the stop at perhaps the low of the last 2 bars. When you re-enter the long do you again wait for 2 more closes above the last highs, or just...

A. What determines if you will enter a position with multiple cars and scale out, or hold and look to add?

ditto, laptop with cellular modem

Start a real poll. Stats would be interesting

A. ON that NQ drop, did you bail before a higher close?:eek:

A. Better on ES............Overnight drop looks suggestive...

A. Here ya go! DJIA daily, W or M?

A. Looking at head and shoulder formations, sometimes they set up with the right shoulder higher than the left. Sometimes I see the neckline drawn at an upward angle because of this. Some charts like the one you posted on 9/11 have this type of angled neckline, but you drew your neckline...

Question on stops for followers of this thread. I am curious what others are doing. I find that I am not consistent in my own trading. 1. Do you use a set # of points for initital stop, previous swing high/low or some other criteria. 2. Do you move to a break even at some point, or let...

A. Do you live in front of your computer? How do you know when a message has been posted and reply so quickly? I need to do whatever it is.

A. You probably have answered this several times, but again, When playing a HH/HL setup for a change in trend. Is there an amount of pullback for the second HL that would keep you from taking that trade? For example, if a pullback is greater than 50%, do you find the rate of success...

Jerry, Until we burn Anec out, he has been very nice about making comments on the charts of our trades we post. You may wish to avail yourself of his comments before he starts swinging 100 cars and starts moving in different social circles.

Small Nogard formation on NQ finishing up now. (flipped Dragon):p
