VT, it's going to have to be more than one contract to work...:p This is just a rough idea of how you could manage a trade that's going your way. Adjust it however fits your needs and may have to adjust it in real time as to your feeling about the move and direction, support and...

VT... Just a thought here for you to kick around...:eek: Set target for 1/3 position @ 2pts When exit 1/3 position move protective stop to break even plus Set target for 1/3 position @ 4pts When exit this 1/3 position move protective stop to entry plus 2 1/2pts Trail remainder of...

I'm sure they saw you coming... :D VT, if your bars start the data at the time then the time I gave you is going to be off a minute. Mine starts the data before the bar time, i.e. data starts at 10:00 and bar is stamped 10:01. Most data starts with the time stamp. eSignal a bit weird...

No art to it, member I'm an idiot... Just arrows and text that's predrawn. I use AutoCAD in my real life just so I can draw a straight line-------------------------------------- :p Entry was at 8:36cst... And I mistyped my sell, should have been 989.75. Was late afternoon when I looked...

I've just read the last few post I've made here and am wondering if this is getting way off topic for what VTs trying to do. I have no idea if this is going to help or hinder him and as I am in doubt about this I am going to quit until his return. I do wish someone would answer that crazy...

Scratched for +0.75... Told you it wasn't going my way! Should have taken the long side when I scratched it but then I'd be using 75% feelings and 25% rules. At times it seems like the feelings are the way to go but I've been burnt so many times with the feelings thing that I try very hard...

curiosity is a good thing... The 10th bar is a doji and only slightly Bullish AND only one tick below the 9th bar. If the move is in question I would probably move the stop but here I had a 5pt gain so I can afford to give it a bit more room. Same reason on NO stop above the 12th bar, only 1...

Yep, (THANX) it's the ones like this that give you that warm fuzzy feeling... :p Actually a bit of both... When it spikes up above the BB that way and falls back that far AND forms a hammer I just get in there and set the initial stop very close in case I'm wrong. Then I just follow it...

Dude... NO, is that how it came across? Sorry for the confusion...:confused: Scrutch

Just happened to be there at the right time I guess... I'm still hanging with a 982.50stp from 988.75. This can't last much longer and I'm thinking about bailing... And I told VT that I couldn't do two things at the same time. It is kind of hard on my focus though. :p :p :p Scrutch

Hey BO, Your post came and went... Good job of what I saw but what did I see? Was that an 8-3-3 on there? hehehe :p Scrutch

This one still works and explains what's happening. Having a bit of shuffling going on over there. :confused: Scrutch

No, it's not just you... The site never came up when I tried it... I haven't done a search yet for this but it might be interesting. Maybe BO will take pity on us and post a valid link... :D Scrutch

I know that's what I do, go for the 5 or 7 to 1 ratio. Course I always feel dam fortunate when I get a 2.5 or 3-1 to hear the ca-ching sound! Friday was just GREAT though... Got in a really tight spot once and managed to sneak out with 2 tics... Now that's what I call a good scratch...

Hey, you're just way too kind... And where did you come up with this wise person? Didn't I mention that I was an idiot, course by now I don't remember what I said, what was the question?... Even being an idiot I understand the value behind the 8-3-3 guy. Played with this for several years...

I don't know, maybe it's the guy in the corner that's the webmaster... :p I've been reading this thread and I would like to comment on the manner in which this thing is being conducted. Tis probably the 'nicest' conversation that I've ever seen on ET... WAY to GO VT. Would also like to...

I did a lot of experimenting with the lines to get them to match the ones on the posted charts. For the UB and the LB I used a 10 period Simple of the Median Price with 1.8 deviation. For the middle line I used an 18 period exponential of the close. I'm using MetaStock and that was as close...

No sir, I glossed over nothing... Did use a bit of the discretion thing on the trade, keeping the stops tight, due to my bending the rules a bit. Still not sure about the pivot tops/bottoms being allowed to be tweezer tops/bottoms as this question was not answered. Looking at your posted...
