#1 This happens when I am not following my rules. To be exact, sometimes I find myself leaving the sideline when I think something gone up too far or has dropped too much. The key problem here being the " I think" part :( #2 I can not believe that this is even an issues, but it is. It...

mdl060374, thank you for your response. I am glad to hear that you agree with my decision to stay away from indicators, I have noticed that its a common suggestion and decided to follow it. Also I see immense value in studying PA, it seems that with the understanding of PA I will be able to...

You are confusing simple vs. easy ... There are many good simple systems out there, but that does not mean they are easy and can be used by anyone.

Day 5 (please see the attached chart): Was trading RIMM today. It was in uneventful down trend for the second half of the day . For the first half it had a violent spike up followed by a retracement. Still I have managed to go long initially thinking the was a HH forming, but it was a mixed...

Makes sense... I am not yet experienced enough to go at it from the openenig, my strategy so far is to stay out for the first 15-30 min. You mentioned before that you dont trade certain hours of the day. Are those hours 12-3 and are they dangerous due to low volume?

Nothing like a timely switch to make you feel in "control" again :) .... Good Job. What was your long bias based on? From the one month chart it looks like the stock is in downtrend and if you look at all the days for the past week you can see the same "small gap up in the morning and...

Day 4: (please see chart attached) Was trading RIMM today. RIMM got unrightfully punished for its earning, but I know better then to trade on what I think is right or wrong. There was a strong reversal signal in the beginning of the day and then the stock trended down for the rest of the day...

. You are right, the chart looks as if that spike did not happen, no expected impact is visible. Odd ... My L2 lingo sucks, i dont know what a latent print is :(

Day 3: (please see the attached chart) BBY was not doing a thing today, so I focused on RIMM. Went long on the "1)" set-up on my chart. It worked out for me, but the decision was not properly justified and I should have waited for a better confirm which followed later. Set-up "2)" was kinda...

Thank you for sharing your opinion NoD. I did not see the lower high that was conflicting with the double bottom in my first set-up, nor did I notice that the little hammer at my set up 3)* was above the earlier resistance at my set up 2)* ..... but I am grateful that you brought this to my...

Day 2: Today my "flavor of the day" stock was AAPL. I know its a favorite of many traders who are used to the way AAPL moves, but I am not familiar with the daily moves of this stock and have chosen this stock today because of all the iPad/Verizon talk, thinking that the news will generate...

I agree with you, PA and S&R are still the main tools, but the approach feels different to me because there is less "breathing room".

. I think the reasons for entering into a trade for days or weeks are different from reasons for entering into a minute or an hour trade. I think one of the main issues is the tight stops that come with day trading. PA that is not so significant for a swing trade is very...

BBY is my daily grind stock that I will trade everyday based of PA, unfortunately it did not have much activity today providing me with little practise opportunity. It started with a strong trend down and ended with a light trend up that was pretty much it for the whole day.

SWN is my "flavor of the day" stock. It was trending up all day due to a Goldman update, but I still managed to make a 101 mistake and go against what market is telling me. obviously its easier to say once the chart is complete, but fulled me at the time it was just developing :(

Greeting Ladies and Gentleman: First a little background. I have been working in the financial industry for a couple of years (not trading related job) and have been a successful part-time swing trader. I do not have any actual day trading experience and swing trading strategies do not apply...

Then I think I will give this a try... http://www.google.com/products/catalog?oe=UTF-8&q=usb+to+vga+adapter&show=dd&cid=4892653317943015340&sa=title#p or this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3521446&CAWELAID=325278351 P.S. Do you think something like...

I have the same problem I am attempting to connect two external monitors to my laptop. What I have done is obtained a VGA splitter that allows me to connect two external VGA devices to a single VGA port on my laptop. What has happened is exactly what I thought would happen (but hoped it would...

Thank you for your responses everyone (even though most of them are sarcastic). Just to clarify, I am not fishing for strategies or set-ups. The reason I am asking is because I really don’t know and don’t have personal experience. So even something like “old saw: 'sell in May and go away'...

Nope, just lack experience. Please don't flame.
