    Any Day Trader Over the Age of 65?

    I'm 2 and a half months shy of 65 so I can't vote in your poll. But having been at this for 35 or so years, and retiring at 38, I think you'll find that in the declining years your emphasis will be on quality over quantity. And your experience should allow you to outdo the young machine...

    Esignal vs Your Platform

    If you love eSignal now as you say, you'll love it even more when the new eSignal comes out shortly. You can download and try the preview version now if you want. It's really a pre-beta version so many functions are missing, but it'll give you a small idea of what a big difference there'll be...

    foreign stocks

    I don't have a language problem here in Japan so I don't use the following sites. Therefore I don't know if they are of any value or not, but they are all I could find in English. http://www.mizuho-sc.com/english/ebond/companies/list.html http://e.nikkei.com/e/fr/freetop.aspx...

    Candle sticks or line graphs for patterns

    Yes, you should use the low of the candlestick or bar when plotting an up trendline and the highs for a down trendline. One reason being that much trading which could have significant meaning regarding supply and demand could have taken place between the high/low and the closing price.

    The proper way to draw a channel...

    Because an uptrend is made by higher lows (reactions/corrections) and a downtrend by lower highs. The trendline defines the trend at those points. Yes, the green one is ok, but not so for the blue.

    Candle stick charts

    I've written this on ET before and don't know if you'll find it interesting or not but even though almost all charts that are printed here in Japan use candlesticks, very few Japanese do candlestick analysis. You can go to a bookstore and find a zillion TA books on indicators and the like but...

    Top Tech Analysis Book

    Someone PM'd me asking what I meant by board games. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to include Monopoly! I should have said 'games such as Chess'. Again, this is not a proven scientific fact!! Just what I 've seen and felt. learner

    Top Tech Analysis Book

    I know a number of people who have found the 6th edition on various old book sites. Or have found a copy in a library and copied it. As I remember the 7th edition had most or all of the original text with additions to chapters marked by decimals, such as 13.1 being the additoin to chapter...

    Top Tech Analysis Book

    >dereck7 I agree with this choice. I was lucky in that it was the first TA book I read over 35 years ago. It got me off on the right foot. If you should choose to read this book, I strongly recommend that you find the 6th edition. The reason being is that the guy who got the rights to the...

    The proper way to draw a channel...

    If a gap on the chart is due to a stock split or the like it can be removed by the software adjusting the price.. However as there is nothing noted on the chart you show to indicate this, I can only guess that the gap was caused by a natural change in supply and demand. Therefore it should not...

    The proper way to draw a channel...

    The trend line you plotted connecting the highs is correct, even though some people will prefer to connect closing prices. The parallel line (return line) should be connected to the low of the bar which looks to be the 2nd or 3rd week of 2008 at around $54.

    Can you still day trade as you get older?

    You just might not slow down! Being the good Jew that I am, I never spend much of what I make, so I've always had enough. If I make $1 or a $zillion, it's all the same to me. What I enjoy now in the declining years is winning!! And when I win I know that it's quite likely that I've won from...

    Can you still day trade as you get older?

    64 years old. Still going strong. I might not be able to think as quickly as those in their 20's any more, but I use my 35 or so years of experience to make up for that. Exit strategy?? When the Angels come for me I'll quit, if they don't let me take my computer with me, that is!!
