There have been trends since markets began within which edges can be found. And there will always be trends in the markets as long as there are people who can't read them!

I don't keep a journal(as I'm just learning to write!) but I do maintain a giant file that contains screenshots of each day's intraday chart in the TF I trade. I use those charts for manual back testing when I get an idea or learn something new. And yes, even after 40+ years of trading there is...

I don't know if a posting I made years ago in a thread titled 'The TREND is your friend.. The biggest lie ever!' will be of help or interest to you regarding trend lines. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-trend-is-your-friend-the-biggest-lie-ever.295480/page-5#post-4201408

In other words, once you have identified the trend, the next step is to identify the price movement within that trend which indicates a high probability of the trend continuing or reversing. However, unfortunately, most people do try to use TA to predict where prices will be at year's end, on...

I noticed in the chart that you posted how you mentioned the various levels in the uptrend being respected in the downtrend. By this i imagine that you are regarding these levels as being support. If so, and if you are trading on the buy at support idea, you may, or may not, find the following...

The trend line itself does not establish the trend. It simply marks its border.

True TA was never meant to predict where prices would be at year's end or on you dog's birthday.

Sorry, but your post gave the impression that you just wanted to create and sell rather than trade.

learner2007 said: nor do I believe in them as being an effective trading tool I should have said 'in comparison to more precise forms of analysis'.

Why do people here so often compare the retail trader to hedge funds and institutional investors? They are required to apply different tactics, follow different rules etc. that result in lower percentage gains than what a skilled retail trader can achieve in just one day! Maybe it's the superior...

I do not use indicators nor do I believe in them as being an effective trading tool. But if you feel you have the ability to create a new indicator that could be sold (effective or not), you might want to consider directing your analytical ability to learning and using something more practical...

You might find it interesting that while charts are still printed using candles in Japan, the candlestick pattern analysis that they invented is virtually dead here in Japan.

I saw the results of a survey on Japanese TV recently which found that 25% of Japanese guys aren't interested at all in having any kind of relationship with women. They're not gay, but they seem to be more interested in computer games etc. rather than the young women who are not as obedient as...

The following is a posting I did in the thread https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/support-resistance-why-do-some-work-and-some-not.302237/page-7#post-4323283 last year on the subject of S/R, which may or may not be of interest...

Sorry, I misread your post as just JGB.

Something you will never hear: I'm Donald Trump in Washington D.C. And this is CNN.

You can get JGB data if you have an account with IB. Or are you asking for free RT data? If so, you can get it at Investing .com. I get the data from a local broker, but don't have time right now to compare Investing.com's to it for accuracy.

On OSE the large Nikkei trades in increments of 1000 yen, but the mini is 500 yen, and is what most retail traders choose to trade. I haven't checked recently but the Nikkei on SGX was dominated by block trades and quite hard to trade.

Well, I've been using RT data since the first days of internet trading. So I guess I have a pretty good idea of what it is.

eSignal has separate products for delayed data and real time data. If you pay for real time data, that's what you get.
