yea mp - I too made the mistake of thinking this thread was about trendlines. Confusing, isn't it?

This thread reminds me of a book from the early 1980's, "Ideas Are A Dime A Dozen - But The Man Who Puts Them Into Practice Is Worth A Million". The author was asked why he gave away some of his greatest techniques. His answer was, way less than 5% will ever bother to try them. In trading...

Everything works! Indicators, Trendlines, Fib, Gann, etc., etc., etc. MA's lead and project future turning points. It's the skill of the user that determines what works and what doesn't. For many years doctors said surgery didn't work and that surgeons were butchers and had no place in...

tic charts differ a lot between eSignal and IB so you need to specify the datafeed. There are a lot more ticks in eSignal so the chart tic size is much greater.

Bit of a no brainer really if you followed the method from the start of this thread. With a decent pullback the market was oversold and at trendline support the market was due to make or break. For those who include an awareness of how the lunar cycle affects the market it was obvious to expect...

As I'm a daytrader for me it's trade the charts and not the news as far as entry is concerned, but then I'd expect 2 big trends to develop. 1st to the downside as oil soars and investors get the jitters followed by a strong bullish move as defence and oil stocks move to the fore. War tends to...

pbw, like Electric kinda says, where does a trader start to answer this question? I'm not going to touch upon the $2k account and regulation part because there's a BIG issue here and it's trading for a real profit with safety. If I made 20 pips a day per lot I'd be pissed off with that level...

Why don't you look at the Time & Sales? There's often 100+ lots going off - so how much do you want to trade at one go? If you are going to trade anything on a reasonable scale you need to be able to answer questions about liquidity for yourself.

True story - I was working for a broker in London and this 18 year old came in - he felt that the market was going to crash but he knew nothing about trading. He bought an out of the money put for £200. That was Thursday before Black Monday Oct19th 1987. He cashed in for over £13,000. He did...
