    What indicators do you use and why?

    I use the same charts whether scalping, swing trading, or positioning long term investments. The only thing that changes is the speed of the chart. KISS is the key to stress-free trading! :D Indicators are for amateurs. st

    What indicators do you use and why?

    Constant volume bars, drawn trend lines, and marked swing points are all that are on my chart. Why, because it gives all that is needed. Any more than that demonstrates the inability to read price action. st

    LOL! For entertainment purposes maybe! Her charts are so cluttered with abstract conflicting nonsense you can't even see the price move. http://charts.dacharts.com/2007-07-30/Buffy_5.png st

    Why are traders such smug SOB's!?

    We've seen your juvenile lackadaisical approach towards trading. If you don't have what it takes to play with the big boys, perhaps you should just run along home and suckle your momma's teet for comfort. Because if it's sympathy you seek, the only place you're going to find it is in the...

    Say what??? And leave these recent 30-40 point moves on the table? This market has been nothing but fabulous to trade. The first good trade today didn't come until after 10:00!!! :D st

    Absolutley correct. Stops should be logically placed with sound reasoning. Which leads us back to incorrect entries and a flawed strategy. :D st

    Hmmm, not sure I agree. I believe stops should always be within rule based risk parameters related to account size. If stop needs to be widened outside of this range to remain out of the noise, do not take the trade. For example, my first ES sell signal was at 10:11 @ 1494.00. Stop was set...

    KEY West//Florida Keys real estate market??

    LOL, then why did you ask???? :confused: Or were you simply wanting to be PC for fear of being labeled a bigot by the far left brigade? :eek: Come on, 'fess up.......there's plenty wrong with "that." You know it, I know it, the entire sane world knows it! :D Back to our regular...

    Beginner Question

    I hope I haven't come across as a self-proclaimed "expert", as that was not my intention. I am in no way an expert on the markets, not even close. As for moving averages, take a 3 minute ES chart and plot a 10 EMA and a 30 EMA. Ignore the MA's and draw your trend lines as you normally would...

    Short-term trading with Oscar

    LOL!!! You mean complimentary? Nah, and I don't believe I will be getting an X-mas card either! Word through the grapevine is he is quite pissed with me. Seems a few of his clients were somewhat concerned with their money when they saw or heard of this thread. My understanding is that he has...

    Beginner Question

    Well put. Read between the lines of what I have written, and you'll see that is the basis of my whole strategy. I am perfectly content taking a small slice out of the middle, I quit trying to pick the top or bottom of a run a long time ago. No future in it, as trying to hit home runs is a losing...

    Beginner Question

    First, allow me to piggyback on your post to clear up a couple things. The exercise I gave previously in establishing trend lines from identifying swing points was a means for those with no knowledge of how price reacts to previous price. It is a training aid more so than a stand alone trading...

    Nobody should Lose Money this Week

    I agree (of course!)!! :D In addition, when a company buys back their shares, how is this zero sum? It isn't. I have a detailed university study that explains and addresses all that has been brought up. Unfortunately I can't find it, but I'll keep looking. Meanwhile, where the heck is...
