AAA, i know what you mean.. i never used them much until recently.. several months ago Chris Terry did a seminar in Tampa on using divergences in the Tick indicator to find reversals and that got me thinking.. then i ran into this guy who uses the stochastic the same way, so i decided to...

cool.. im using macd primarily for the histogram, although im not using it in my trading decisions right now.. mostly i just use the fast stochastic for divergences.. -qwik

well.. there are alot of different approaches i suppose.. one way that i like is using bollinger bands.. a guy in a chatroom showed me how he was using them and so far its been working well for me.. one thing about BB's i dont think you can just look at one 5 min or 2 min chart every single...

today was a whippy, choppy, tight range (most of day 10pts), crap day to trade.. the only real money to be made was trading the chop for scalps imo.. aside from trading the opening break which was risky because of the numbers release at 10am.. tomorrow will be better.. :) -qwik

i have a friend who got a pretty nice settlement from an accident he was involved with.. he told me that he had put his money in intel.. this was 2 years ago.. i told him that intel was trading near its low and the chart looked down to me, also that i felt the market would pull it down...

what makes you think someone is "shorting" the es? its supply and demand.. perhaps buyers just arent aggressive.. and even if someone is shorting it, why would you assume that they will "feel it" in the morning.. you know nothing of their time horizon or objective for shorting.. which could...

gee whiz, i turned my attention for just a minute to write that last post and lost 7pts on the nq.. good thing the simulator isnt real money :).. now if i could only remember if that triangle on 7/15 broke to the down or up.. :) -qwik

huios.. "if you have faith as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain.." :).. im sure you know the rest.. but i think the most telling scripture is the one that says "he who fears has not been made perfect in love".. before i started trading i didnt have any "issues".. at least i...

sorry to hear it Brutus.. trading is sort of like hockey in that none of the better players have any teeth :).. you have to take some hits in this business to learn to respect the market.. take some time.. regroup.. papertrade.. and give it another shot.. good luck.. -qwik

for one thing, ive seen Don Bright.. and why anyone would want to see Don exposed (:::shudder:::) is beyond me.. but to each his own.. and no, this is a forum where small people with nothing to lose conceal their identity and attack others who try to add value to the board by sharing their...

Brutus, ill just point out a couple of things.. first, the market is under no obligation to trend.. you lost your first two trades this morning and your last trade in the afternoon because you decided the market would trend today even though the market was clearly just chopping around...

reminds me of the movie with Martin Lawrence and Danny Devito where they are feuding over a stupid ring.. -qwik
