Cool, they can bend!

Not that I know what I'm talking about, cuz I don't, but I would've drawn the trendlines like this. Mine are in blue, obviously.

Spoken like a PUA. :cool:

I have roughly an hour most days for my lunch. I can't watch the market all day. If after an hour I'm not profitable I'm certainly not going to keep my position open while I go back to my normal job. But I see what you're saying.

I thought about that, but doesn't that not guarantee that your order will get filled?

So I have to watch futures, too, in order to trade stocks? So I can just watch SPY instead? Cool. So are you saying that SPY leads and YHOO follows? Oh, and thanks for the links to those threads.

I placed a buy to cover order today and the majority of it was filled at $27.2899 and the rest was filled at $28.29. wtf? 1/1000 of a cent difference? Oh, and I've never had this happen before. I still just subtract losses from profits at tax time, right? So hypothetically, say you...

I seem to be seeing them happen equally often. A or B and C or D Just to clarify, these examples are all when either the top or the bottom trendline are horiztontal. I would say A and D make the most sense to me, but I'm usually wrong about this stuff. I'm trying to raise my odds...

So was my setup good then? I'm trying to see if I'm on the right path or not.

That makes sense, but I always see big moves (candles) with low volume, and vice versa, too.

Well, I used to try using indicators, but that didn't work. Then I tried trendlines, which seemed to be a little more successful. I'm trying to find a good system...

Exit when it hit my lower trendline that I drew or broke broke away from the top trendline that I drew. After it broke the upper trend line, it kinda just hovered there and didn't go up or down. Once it started to move away (up) for sure I covered.

So I was watching YHOO today on my lunch break, and it seemed to be in a definite downtrend. At 12:38 I took a short position @ $27.21. It looked like it was about to hit the top of the trendline I had drawn and I expected it to go back down to one of the lower trendlines. Those are 2 min...

There was almost a hammer right after the first big red candle. Good thing you didn't enter long there. And, there was an upside down hammer (shooting star?) right after your point 3. Good thing you didn't short there. I probably have these candle formations wrong, but that's what they...

Not to be a noob, but what do you mean by "hybrid market" and how is it different than before?

Yup. cm69, thanks for the link to that thread of yours. That's how I feel, too.

I'm using QuoteTracker and it has a ton of indicators. I was just messing around with them. I tried using them but I can't find anything consistant. I use Scottrade. If I ever start daytrading seriously I will switch to IB cuz the commissions are much less. I was thinking about getting...

Maybe. I don't know what it's called. But I think I like that more than all these indicators I have.

So yesteray (on my birthday, no less) I made my first short sale. I did it at work, on my lunch, so I only had a little bit of time to watch the market. Remember, I'm still an intraday noob. I was drawing in trend lines (channels?). It looked like it was trending down the last channel I...

I definately see a difference. But when it's not enabled, for many of the "candles" it has the same open, high, low, close price. When heikin-ashi is enabled, it gives different open, high, low, and close prices. I was just wondering. I will definately leave it on :)
