I'd also account for orders that are broken into multiple ones. Cariocas

Carter getting plenty of flack from the media on his latest book regarding the relationship between Israel and Palestinians. Regardless of the content of the book, this comes from a former president; nobel prize winner; and still an active peace embassador, who's recognized for his...

Bolter, Are you saying that you weren't thinking about me? :P Anyway, I'm open to any (civil) criticism or questions for that matter. Another caveat, MD isn't effective without s/r levels. I think 5P uses the same formula as I do which is: market breadth, levels (be it MP or pivots), MD...

Bolter et. al, I guess some of these comments are directed at the charts I'm posting so here's another attempt at explaining the benefits of MD and how I apply them. Mind you, I'm not a daytrader, but do daytrade when I'm not traveling. When daytrading I'm looking for the easiest, most...

Chris, I don't recall us sharing setups but I also follow market breadth for overall market direction. Excellent work. Cariocas

Craig, I like your charts and VWAP you're plotting. My question, for the benefit for everyone on this thread, would be regarding entries: how do you define entries on your charts using MD? E.g. I simplified the entry on 15m to trigger based on taking out previous bar hi/low (long/short)...

Chris, Ain't too shabby yourself :D You got it down to exact science. Cariocas

Notice the zero-line rejection coinciding with entries. Same setups as shown before. Have a great weekend. Cariocas

For some reason, I think my lines are better than yours :D Actually, they hold the bragging rights :p Cariocas

Can you talk my wife of 27-years into this? :D Cariocas

Agree 100% with you. No substitute for experience and observing the markets 1000s of hours. I'd also add MD without identifying S/R levels is fatal. Cariocas

Bolter, thanks for the great thread and everyone else for sharing their thoughts openly. Here's a chart of today's setups. There was a loser to the upside...experience in gauging what the entire market is doing will keep you out of trouble most of the time. This can be accomplished by archiving...

Hi j, yes the bars indicate the delta ratio. Cariocas

Joelib is the most selfish politician you'll come across.. mind you, repulsive and a bigot... Remember his VP stint with Gore when he refused to give up his senate campaign claiming that 'the people' are asking him to run for senator as well!! And now he shafts his party & runs as an independent...

Same story with ES. I don't trade it but one can see that it had a clear(n) breakout to the upside. This is a very ideal setup/pattern. Cariocas

Chart attached shows 2 trades I've taken on a 15min TF. Look for divergence and shift in MD to time entries and just trace it using lower tfs. Hope this helps. Cariocas

I think I mentioned this on another thread but here we go again. MD without support/resistance levels isn't effective. It is a decision-support technique at best and not a trading methodology. A good example of complementing MD with other tools is the use of MAs. Watch MD footprint as price...

Of course, same actions will almost certainly produce same results. How does one improve their trading if can't keep track of their mistakes and work on minimizing them? I presented one of several ways to improve in that area. Thoughts? Cariocas

mschey, Well stated. That's the point of the thread, is to draw attention to some unconventional stats./techniques that can help improve one's trading skills. Thanks for your participation. Cariocas

One of the techniques I used & still use to improve my trading skills is to keep track of the losses due to not following rules/lack of discipline/lapses/senior moments, etc. After tracking that stat. I found out that by just minimizing (not eliminating), the losses came down to a trickle & the...
