Probally greener than YOU! ROFLMAO. I may have gotton mixed up on his short entry price of this last trade. He had so many. I am talking specifically about this last trade not the rest.

Surf hasn't lost anything yet. He is just probally mad at himself for not taking profits the market gave him on a silver platter lined with gold. He actually made a pretty good call. People forget this is a bull market. Nevertheless, I was actually cheering for Surf and hoping he'd get his 1000...

Thing is Surf is not neutral on TA. He thinks it is hogwash. Here is an example of some TA patterns. It called stopping points for price. With possible reversals. You just extend the known data points out and WAIT FOR PRICE TO GET THERE "IN THE FUTURE". You connect the dots to draw a picture...

If drawing the picture is pretty and it facilitates a peek into the probable future then why not draw?

Bull flags, wedge bottoms, bear channels..all have a tendency to break north. Triangles are 50% chance of breaking in either direction. But when found in proper context as in this case within a wedge bottom, in a bull channel, then the triangle had slightly higher prob of breaking north. But...

ROFLMAO don't think Surf likes TA. Do you?

Yes..ES is a wedge and also a triangle nestled inside the wedge and both of those nested inside a channel which is simply a bull flag with high propability of B.O. To the upside. I annotated your chart as i don't trade YM and don't have it in my data feed. Hope you don't mind.

Nope it is the picture of a successful B.O. of a bear channel which is actually just a bull flag. All bear channels are bull flags, of some time frame, and the B.O. is more likely to the upside. But if the bull flag pattern fails and istead has a successful B.O. to the downside then it can be a...

Lessons to be learned. Don't be like a termite in a yo yo. When the market is generous to you take your profits. Get out when it is taking your profits. He actually made a pretty good call from the time he entered his last position. He had almost no risk, if any, from entry until even now. Even...

you didn't by chance hack into surfs system before you got disconnected did you?:sneaky:

Does this mean it could sail north right on past you entry and you would hang on for the roller coaster ride up waiting for the drop down?

Good systems or even excellent systems in the hands of an unskilled trader....well....on the other hand mediocre systems in the hands of skilled traders...well... Are the brokerages filled with skilled traders or unskilled traders?

ROFLMAO...EVERYTHING is suspect eh!

Should i put on a 2" thick lead hat? What about the data feed manipulation? Possible? Does it happen?

Does that mean you have no SL?

What about irrational exuberance? Could that push it to stop you out?

What about 1/2 inch alum plates?

That leads to another question. Suppose the broker can " see" all you are doing..i.e. Markups...indicators..notation...etc and see where you are placing you orders..entries..PT ...SL...in your system THEN can they manipulate your data feed? Say there are two clients with the same broker and same...

It would be a waste of time for a broker to try this with everyone but suppose they had a client that was doing really well then could they see that clients screen...notations..indicators he uses..etc and from that simply deduce how he is trading?

Nevertheless can a broker "see" what one is writing and drawing on their charts as the day progresses? That is really my question. Like i know if one has a platform problem they can get on the phone with you and with your permission lock on your screen to see what is happening on your computer...
