Yeah what you wrote has been my chop-trading "strategy" thus far. But I figured maybe since chop and trends are opposites that there was some "counter-trend" strategy that was possible. What about scalping? Is it true that scalping works best during chop? Thanks for responding.

Anybody trading during chop? I'm looking for generic method(s), not a detailed plan. Generic trend trading is straightforward: * Buy if the trend is up. * Shortsell if the trend is down. * Exit if the trend disappears. Anything similar for chop trading? Thanks.

John Bollinger calls it Rational Analysis. The idea has been around at least since the mid-Nineties.

Bingo. People who insist you need to know why price did what it did or that you even can most of time figure this out are fooling themselves almost always. Why is immaterial, what happened is what matters the most. The goal is to find exploitable patterns. Leave why to the academics and the...

Ah, ema. I keep forgetting most regard that as an indicator. I don't because its primary purpose is as a data smoother but yes it can be used as an indicator. Good choice. But I disagree with most of the rest of your post. Most public indicators are garbage. Your analogy to a toolbox is flawed...

So which indicators do you use? I don't want details on your specific strategies, just the names of the indicators you found useful to trade. Thanks.

You have two stocks to choose from. Both are rising. Which one do you buy? Answer: use trend strength. The days of riding a single great stock to financial independence are over. Nowadays traders have to make difficult decisions between a multitude of choices, and they often have to switch...

Different trends have different strengths. "Higher highs and higher lows" tells you nothing about strength. Chose the wrong trend to trade with and you can lose a great opportunity. Whatever else you think about indicators, they give the trader numbers to work with and the best indicators give...

Free indicators probably aren't worth more than you paid for them. Good luck finding one that is.

Good trend indicators are ones that do not trigger in chop. They are not free. You either pay for it or you develop your own. Are you using indicators or PA for your chop system?

Futile it is, because that agreement ain't gonna happen. Trendiness is a continuum, not a bright line separating "trend" from "not trend". Even the classic definition about (HH + HL) or (LH + LL) doesn't cover all possible trends. :(

No surprise that all the righties here, especially those who've had no qualms expressing anti-Black views in the past, want to dismiss this virulent racist and terrorist as a psychotic. Epic fail. He is fully one of your fellow travellers, reichtards, just a bit more action oriented. As...

:eek: Please tell us you don't believe in the Holy Grail (aka the trading strategy that never loses).

Inferior to what? Please be specific. Is TF the worst of all possible trading strategies? Is it the best except for Method Z? Please specify.

Not your thread, surf. You don't get to say who moves along. Unless you're finally admitting that you are GloriaBrown. :p :D

What does the title mean? Ama?

He said so in the previous paragraph: because he's named in the book. All of this is pure ego gravy for Dave Goodboy. We're dealing with a mediocrity whose sole claim to fame is who he knows Stop feeding the troll. Stop feeding the troll's ego.

Guys, the original HoF thread referred to the "really useful ones", not the really popular ones. Are you saying a thread revealing a holy grail strategy wouldn't instantly qualify for HoF status even if hardly anybody had read it yet...
