Hello Smilingsynic, Using XHB as an example, would you want to see a close above the pivot low of $18.45 that was set on 12/20/07 before you considered it a valid spring? Or, would it be something else? TIA Gary

1. Of the current or past ET posters, who are/were your 2 or 3 favorite? 2. Is there any current of past ET poster that you think trades like you? Any published person via a book or magazine article trade like you? 3. If you were suddenly unable to trade due to particular circumstances...

Hello TheoCap, Check out the writings of Chuck Le Beau. Read his ATR Bulletins, and especially the Chandelier exits. http://www.traderclub.com/discus/board.html Le Beau uses a ATR20 for swing trading, though many others use 14. His exits vary between 2 and 3*ATR20 Gary

Merry Christmas everyone. I have this sort of cryptic quote that I want to backtest as part of a setup. I would appreciate any input. This person is an end of day swing trader. Holds are form 1 to multiple days. He buys weakness within strength and sells strength within weakness...

Hello TSGannGalt, I appreciate that. As I had no experience with cycles, I did a brief review of some of the noted cycle folks - and really didn't think I'd find much of an edge. Now, your comment puts it in another light. Can you expand on "noise reduction" a bit? Also, as my...

Hello hughb, Thanks very much for posting. I am only interested in stocks via end of day data. Regarding "I buy breakouts inside pullbacks" if it's not too proprietary, with NTRI I see a nice pullback and a 3 bar pivot low of $4.85 on 3/11/05. Then a reversal back up with two good...

Well now you've went and ruined it - as I had to read a post from the likes of you. As always, nothing there. I referrenced that particular cycle thread as representative of most all cycle discussions on ET. If you bother to read the posters, most say that cycles are of little value. I...

Ha ha ha ha No - I like my chicks. GF

Mastering Intellect Not Debating

Hello Mark, You have the part about "Nobody can fnd it not even the cycle gurus for ages now" dead right. Prior to your post, my ignorance relative to cycles would fill the old Kingdome. Now, it would fill the Kingdome less a dustpan. Even at ET, they get no love. This thread is a good...

Hello cortez, I have a number of technical analysis books. I would say, hands down, the best beginner/introductory book on my shelf is "The Technical Analysis Course" by Thomas A. Meyers. That's the one I would suggest. Gary

Hello AC, I'm at work, so I don't have my backtest results -- but I do recall running the suggestion with various criteria over the russell 3000 with look backs of 100/300/500/1000/2000/ days. Performed rather poorly as I recall. Caught the tops of many swings. Now, if one was to revisit...

Thank you Sir! I've seen the book. I'll get it. I got a feeling there's some real gold right here. Hope I can find it. Thanks, Gary

Anyway, that’s what Jason Leavitt said in today’s tape on “Guidelines to Successful Trading”. Whadaya think? Agree – disagree? Would especially like to hear from the system developers/traders...

Bean counting degree here. Has opened many doors for me.

Would appreciate knowing what current or past members use/used a trading method that would best be described as holding a position from one to multiple days. Hopefully, they also do/did most of their analysis-using end of day data. Just looking for ideas to steal and try. TIA Gary

Thank you Sir! I will look over that site, and have a go at your suggestion. Much appreciated. I recently dropped you a note at another thread, as I enjoyed your postings. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100591&perpage=6&pagenumber=8 I received the idea book...
