anyone else seeing this? tight stop....good R/R.... if it breaks, i'm out. if it sells off into close, i'm adding.

thanks. appreciate your direction... jon

on a side note you could always try www.trade2win.com. i always use ET, but there might be something there that fits your needs. it seems to be much more comprehensive and specific, but it's very clustered, and i've never sifted through it.

i'm not talking about research... i'm talking about a plan, where you have thought out in ADVANCE what you would do given any particular market condition at the time. this way, you won't have to worry about when "X" happens, because you have already strategized a contingency plan beforehand...

sounds like you need a plan. a detailed one...

give it time. it's not going to happen overnight. i'm still working on it, trading incredibly light, and if it takes another few years, thats fine with me. i love trading and im not after getting rich quick, so a little patience and perspective are my best friends at the moment. happy...

coffee all day long. or at least until i start shaking...

a very basic answer would be that it is not about the specific numbers that are reported, but more about the expectations of the market. if company x is expected to be up 50%, but they report an increase of 25% then a clear divergence of what was supposed to happen and what did happen takes...

pm me if you have any basic questions. i had to completely re-vamp my platform last week, and i went with ensign. at least for now... also, they have solid phone support. best of luck jon

ensign also works well. $40/month ensignsoftware.com i was originally having some data issues with it, but if you can manage to throw everything you need onto 1 layout, rather than separate them across multiple pages it works fine.

lol swing hard hope this clarifies

lol swing hard

he never specified which direction did he? i'm assuming he's short... at least thats how i see it

thanks

i dont necessarily like the choice of "easy" and "predict", but i think i can see where you're coming from. hope it works out for you

i have never used QT or Sierra, but Ensign is great in terms of functionality and flexibility. i am still struggling a bit with the integration of the data feed, but i think i might have found a setup that works. plus, its very cost effective, but i guess it all depends on what type of trader...
