This Monday AM- markets look set to move higher-I will set limit buys to add slightly to Friday's entries, also entry in the materials sector

Using myself as a generalization- I am a creature of habit- slow to adapt and slow to change. When it comes to a trading approach, I want to be as consistant as i can in it's application- but there are a lot of variables in my particular situation- work schedule is one- time to spend on...

After a week of market sell-offs- Friday delivered a potential positive day across most indexes and sectors- That rally has been called a dead cat bounce by one CNBC pundit who believes the markets turn lower- with further declines in the weeks ahead. Note this snapshot of how the various...

Went long today at the close in 4 positions- PJP,XBI,HACK,TQQQ. Reduced the position size of these entries for a partial position.

Had the day off- spent some quality family time, and got back home this pm and watched the markets seem to hold the rally into the close-up about 1% . It's interesting that after making a high on Monday, the markets sold off across the board- but then rallied today-MAY 1. We have earnings-...

I am looking forward to learning more as you develop your thread- Link- http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/relative-etfs-buy-something-with-something-else.288757/ I think Renko is worth employing as another way to compare price action- Renko on a dropped down faster time frame may...

It' will be informative that you are exploring these relationships with this type of potential strategy. It also requires having that sense of social, political, economic - understanding why X will move in one direction and Y in another, and potentially capturing that move as profit-...

Swift, My good friend- You are correct - I think this is a very insolvent market and the less exposure one has, the better- . Reducing one's exposure to loss is a good tactical tool- Recognition that the environment is no longer positive for longer term trades- makes one a...

I think Trend following is a key place to start- Don't feel that because one misses a good entry, the trade potential is over- Trends often develop persistance- that exceed a trader's narrower focus of shorter term profits. Ultimate success is not finding a winning or a losing...

YES! You were certainly correct - This is an unstable market- and relentless at that- Looks like I have gone away here as May is just a day or two away! I had my remaining 4 long positions all stop out today- all for losses. EEM, EDC, HACK, TAN I am now down over -3.5 % from my added...

4.29.15 update- I am getting my Ass kicked - relatively on my net trades- I am down a net 2.5% in the IB account- I know there are othes in the same boat- who are sitting there and wondering- Do I keep my position? Look at the chart- Is your trend intact/ ? If not- don't just be...

Eurusdzn, I like your charting, and the net general concept I am vaguely familiar with- Gartman for example- would be long Gold short Euros- as his combination trade some months back- Combination trades make sense- Find something that will rise, and the other will fall as the...

Break at lunch- I see this trade gapped much higher on the open- well above my buy-stop/limit-I had expected a fill as price appeared to have moved in smaller increments until today's larger gap. I will review this later in the pm

50 @ $28.50 Buy stop- limit $28.65 Stop loss $27.50 is the order I have in -GTC- We'll see if the chart indeed performs as it is suggesting it will.

Late for work this 6 am- Will review all of your comments when I get in this pm- Thanks for posting- I will put on a small buy-stop entry if TMV moves higher-but understanding it's limitations as only suited here for a relatively short term trade.

TMV moved up 4% today- looks like it wants to go higher, made the upswing closing with .01 of the high- Very solid higher close- This certainly looks primed to go higher based on today's chart- Good trade on your end-.But I would be considering where your profit objective is. I would add a...

This was not a good day to be long biotech-- and Pharma dropped as well. This sector has not performed well of late- and it's prudent to be cautious here. All the major indexes were weak. but the Russel 2k took it really hard today- down substantially more than the major indexes--1% ...

ETFtrends.com, ETF.com, ETFdb.com- getting a list of source sites-and some free time today- Had some time to do some reading today- and learning I have much more to learn about ETF's that have been developed that are well beyond the basic vanilla index construction. I was considering the...

SOME EDC CHARTS- The Fill was using a higher buy-stop order with price right at the recent high- Demand pushed the price up higher- This is a leveraged ETF- follows the EEM. The wider the time frame one views, one can get a different perspective for a sell target, as well as a...

A number of interruptions in this late Friday pm attempt to post & REVIEW TRADES. Will find time this weekend to play catch-up Trades I was filled on : EDC, XBI, PJP today all ended up lower today- but still are active- I will review my positions over this weekend, and my new entries-...
