I'm still reading through the thread. Thanks to all who have contributed. Does anybody have any comments on Andrews pitchfork v. Trend channels ? I'm trying out both at the moment and will continue to do so. But i figure i should probably stick to one over the other otherwise too many...

ah but i'm having so much fun with the NQ. I realize it's about the cash - equities, futures whatever it takes. I'll take a look at the charts of those stocks later today. Not quite ready to switch just yet though i'm pretty sure. I do need to refer more to the larger time frame , 3 or...

I gotta laugh. I mean really what else can one do at times like this. Confidence issue in my trades. Trust myself more. i think i had some right ideas then i mucked it up with some crap. easy to see after the fact first trade i liked how i took a little heat at the beginning which is...

thanks tihfa. Believe or not i've read them. The first probably a little quickly. The AHG is great and got me into to PA. The one thing anek kept saying was it takes lots of screen time. i keep telling myself that but sometimes i wonder.

I think I'm not taking enough trades with the trend. One of my entry triggers is reversal bars. Lately i'm not taking them in the proper context. A bearish reversal bar in an uptrend is less likely to work unless there are other signs of a reversal ie 123 top or dbl top. I'm taking too many...

Still struggling. not much to say at this point. Whatever i'm doing wrong i need to figure out myself and find a way to correct. My most common problems are still: bad price read- usually going counter trend at wrong time, exiting winners too soon or not willing to take heat. Today had...

Nice. You've been putting together quite a lot of winning days. good job.

I agree with Rossky and Baron, and if i may be allowed to ramble. Referring to the most recent chart, the large down bar after the white H/L suggests a failed break out and that buyers have lost control. As trapped longs exit to take losses the more likely than not direction is down. That's...

Thanks JP. Enter on pullbacks in the direction of the TREND. In general I know i currently trade reversals set ups better than my other set ups. At least w/ entries. Entering on pullbacks is not my strength and i'm aware of it and working on it. Maybe it's leading to a bias in what i'm...

Nasdaq +60 pts. I have a problem with these rocket off the open moves. I short too soon and always miss the pullbacks for longs. Semi holiday today too so will play cautious and patient.

hey jack, just saw your edit. i didn't take any short at the B high if that's what your talking about. PA had been rather volatile and whippy. My friday trades are not shown on the 5 minute chart i posted.

How'd that work out for you Jack ? I don't base trades on Elliott wave but sometimes it's helpful to get a sense of direction. Obviously not today though

Holding winners for more despite price holding/pausing at S/R levels. Again a couple trades w/ MFE +5 that i exit -.50 and -1.00 Majority of my entries are where i want to be getting in and are good reads on the market. Still a few flat out bad entries. Moving my stop to near BE too...

out -.50 back short 2200.75 drop you mofo

short 2201.50 just now but you know how i trade i could be out before you read this

yep, thanks. Elliot wave anybody ? Playing around . looks bearish

weird fast action. flash crash coming ?

Trying too hard today and lacking a bit of focus. -5.25 pt and too many trades- 13. Today i tried holding some winners that didn't work out. MFE of 6.50 on one trade exit +1.75. Another MFE +3.5 exit -1.25. Don't let a winner become a loser. This 'rule' i wonder about. Strictly follow or...

My analysis is pretty much all subjective based on market structure. I'm watching HH/HL, TL, S/R and swing hi's and lo's and how price reacts near it. Price rejection is big for me. I check different times frames for S/R and watch 30 minute opening range. Daily hi's and low and prior days...
