Lookint at 5 min charts- I think its also important to have a rule that adds to winners as the trade goes the right way, but then it starts to complicate the process. I think the simplest solution is almost always best, so that's the trading method that would be right for my personality.

Many of the systems people post here seem very complicated, with filters, indicators, etc. My question is - can a simple system of, say a 5/50 MA crossover, buy when the 5 crosses the 50 going up, sell when the 5 crosses the 50 going down, on a 5 min chart- work? Is money management the key?

For those of you who trade YM, how many points do you target on an average move? How many do you usually get per trade? I've been averaging 8-10, and I'm not sure if that's good bad or average, with nothing to compare it to. Thanks for the input.

The people here can't come to grips with the fact that their George "Free Markets" Bush would announce a price fixing idea, much more suited to China than the US. Is there any other prices Bush will fix before the end of his presidency? I got a "teaser" rate on my cable bill for a year, can he...

Maybe she'll have to set up a meeting with Larry Craig to find out what to say.

You're right on target. She'll kill the market like her husband did. oh wait.... Your "MBA president" has been real good for the market, it hasn't even outperformed treasuries in the 7 years he's been in. That's a fact, do the math.

For all you Hillary bashers- lets be VERY clear who's plan this is: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315332,00.html This is from Fox News, no less. " The Bush administration has hammered out an agreement with industry to freeze interest rates for certain subprime mortgages for five years...
