i draw them in so i am looking at the same trendlines on my 5m and 1m...i just try and make use of the 1m for stops(or try not there yet)...i don't use it much b/c i get confused...like where i noted on the graph. i am looking at the 5m 90% of the time. also was trying to get a feel fro the...

trendfader and nkhoi thanks...let's keep the fingers and toes crossed.

yeah, i was torn/uncertain of weather it was more of a pt 3 than a short signal/trend line break...so i waited for the stoch to leave zone. once the mini vol/price spike down occured i felt good about trade.

is this kinda what you would be looking for? just tried to throw it together. just looking quickly it looked so far a peak to trough of 5.5pts.

Jack after your post i decide to hunker down and try to improve, so i have attahced my 1m chart from this afternoon with my notes. I have a few questions on the chart. Any comments would be great. Thanks -dawg

Jacks thanks for the comments and suggestions...i will work on what you suggested. Gonna print it out and keep it next to me. I completely agree i am too quick on the trigger...old bad habits die hard. :)

i agree...AFTER looking at trade i realized i had made the mistake and was not thinking about it correctly. Thanks. I was more 'trying not lose money'/ lock in my small gain' mindset and paid for it.

general: i definitely have trouble trading the larger gap opening b/c the indicators seem to get out of whack due to gap...middle of the day totally sucked 1. long rocket mkt opens up a lot and all indicators say long...wait for 15m high and buy the break @ 875.25. at 10:20 we had what i...

thanks for your comments...about 18 months...well the discipline has come from 18months of struggles...bounced around with a few different things, but for some reason this way of trading just clicked with me. best of luck. -dawg

the reversals are definitely a work in progress..like i wanted to reverse this morning, but couldn't pull the trigger (the wuss factor). I don't like to reverse in the middle of the day as there seems to be too much congestion...i would rather try and fade support/resistance during midday...

yeah..they are tough to take though especially after losing/flat on the rocket, but i guess that is also why they work, people getting screwed. getting the reversal aftera rcoket end/fail can give awesome trades...if you took the reversal after today's first rocket you would have made some...

To judge a system/methodology on 10 days is pretty useless and short sighted, but let's look at the numbers for last the 10 trading days. 28 trades....commission of $134.40 (2.40 x 56) gain of $1,525 (30.50 x 50) net gain....$1,390.00 1. your comment on commission is incorrect...

today's open reminded me of 3-24, 3-27...gap downs that also turn into short rocket on the low of day break. 1. short rocket 9:40 s(3.23, 6.63) macd hist -2.05 short on the low of day break at 848.50. 10:00 vol spike on the eco number, 10:05 was a lower volume inside green bar. 10:15...
