I need it to take out 950 so I can finally get my one pt long scalp I put on at 949. That will make 38 straight 1 pt winners.

I changed my mind. I think I'm gonna be bullish for a while. Feels like the top only upside down.

My favorite pattern is the Texas Panhandle. Prices run up the western border, then a flat channel forms across Oklahoma, then when it starts drifting down Arkansas you go short and ride it all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Only today for some reason it headed up to Minnesota.

I like the free java charts at www.tradesignals.com. if esh3 doesn't work try esc3 (HNUZ or CIPT)

oh sorry, I didn't realize this was an old thread. I thought it said March 7, 2003. 180 point swing in the Dow. I don't remember March 7, 2002, sounds like it must have been a flat day.

Seems like every commercial on TV has someone sitting at their dining room or kitchen table working on a laptop. Does anyone actually in real life do this? Don't most people have a regular desktop set up in their home? Honey! Clear the table. And where'd you put the laptop? I need to check...

oh man, do I ever. I was hired once to trade an S&P xover system, this was before auto exec. Everyday we would tweak the parameters, sometimes even 3 times a day. What was working would never work, and what we weren't using started working again. Best deal is stick with the same values and...

right, that's one of the easiest scalps. In an uptrend you can sell with all the weakest bulls behind you. Bulls selling behind you and bulls waiting to buy in front of you. wheee, gotta be quick! And when you get all 3 lined up in a parallel line at a nice sloping angle, you know it's going...

I didn't say I had good ideas, just a lot of them. Here's what I'm working on. Since it is a well known fact that at times an ma xover system will whipsaw you almost perfectly, all I need to do is figure out the worst ma combo and I can fade it. Then somehow, you need to figure out when not...

good stuff Jack. I'm not going to let this topic die. I have a difficult time understanding the math behind MACD. I know the good signals come when both my MACD and ma's up on my chart are in agreement. And many times they disagree. I use ma cross to determine S/R. You have no idea how...

Dang, you weren't kidding were you? Those do work pretty good. Well, what are those? Fib numbers? They all went bearish, but I was bullish, so I just waited until they went bullish and went long. Worked like a charm. I aint kidding ya now

set your chart to 3 min loc, that covers the 3, then 7 (21) 8 (24) 9 (45) the 23 which makes 69 is too slow besides I ran out of good colors

and I can just see it coming. If I keep trading against them I'll end up just like them.

no, there's a huge difference between the bands and the channels. Especially if you are using them for a target. The bands can move away from you as the market moves against you. The first day I tried this I was short going into that .50 rate cut. The market was going to the moon and my lower...

At any rate, this all falls under the heading of garbage zone trading. When there are no free zones to trade, you just have to admit the free market you're trying to trade doesn't exist, and when we are out of the garbage zone, you have to admit it and don't try to trade it like garbage. And...

nihaba, on the 1 min, I used ditch's stoch settings 21,10,4. (Not real money, just fooling around today.) Man I wish I'd known a little about stoch before. That would have saved me some pain. one rule becomes very obvious, even more so on the 5 min. Never fade a channel when stoch is above 30...

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! If the close stop is so sure to get hit, then why not set a close profit taget which will supposedly be so sure to get hit? Who needs to let profits run if close profits are a "huge probability" I can tell you, from a guy who would love to buy the bid and sell the...

ALICE, If you are using sierra, they call it N bar highest N bar lowest. I can't tell the difference between that and donchian. Just set them at 10, and then imagine you are trying to go long at the lower and short at the upper. Then add a 20 and a 30 simple moving average. See if that...

oh man, here we go again. So therefore, I should just place my profit target where my tight stop was because as Harry says, "there is a huge probability that it will be executed"

ok I gotcha. Man, taking a break. I'm on page 28 of the stoch thread. I checked just a few months ago and couldn't find anything on RSI or stoch, now they got it coming and going. I've been trading this sort of sys a while. You could turn it into a big money maker if you knew when to hang on...
