The 11 pages that have been put up represent a good discussion of stuff I think. I would like to use them to suggest some reasoning processes that might be helpful to you. To solve any problem takes real effort. Often examples of processes can lead to a new way to attack a problem. The way...

Here is a little stock that is fun. You will like it for three reasons: 1. it's a contrarian indicator stock. (to day markets are off so it is up) 2. it makes money every day in a very high % range. ( The gapping is fun too) 3. you can buy a lot of shares with just a little money. (Just...

Interesting. Not everyone makes it their goals. He should shoot for making money instead of an intermediate goal. I remember a student of mine waking me up at minight plus. She had just become 21 and inherited her first trust of 8 million. Her buddy was with her. So neat. They...

You mmight want to throw in some caveats about how you adjust the indicators when you change to shorter bar durations. I would choose other instead of a or b since they don't play out. We all make money. My pace is about triple yours vis a vis trade cycles for trends. I am neutral biased...

How much money you make is determined by how well you link into the market potential. I use the "yellow brick road" to chacacterize markets and their potential. this spread sheet can be changed to anything and you can plug in stuff as well. As it turns out, I believe we get less able to...

It got away from me..lol

this is the over all flow chart I use for getting people stared with a daily routine. The yield on this is limited to short term trading results in the range of 10% every 6 to 8 days. transference to others for a 6 month period is 11.1% av and 6.6 days duration.

The market, in a trend, advances the trend and also takes breathers. The non davancing portion of a trend is sometimes called a retracement. There are ET'ers who recognize that in different time periods you can see differing aspects of market trends. As a person gets to a neutral bias...

YVW.

Nice set of comments. It is good to see where a person is in their methodology. your explicite current challenges appear to be: 1. Drawdowns. 2. incompatibility of trend lines and futures indexes 3. "fake outs" 4. directional reversals Some implicite ones: a. money...

See attached graph.

I am able to read your postings of charts. I see you are a scalper and that the graph has a time line on the bottom expressed in minutes. The right side is showing price. This is a gee whiz graph. I would suggest a five min bar and 10 points for price labelling at the interval between...

Your chart and tradersavy's are neat in combination. The NAZ and S&P cover alot of the markets. When did you determine the HS failed? It is neat to see how the emerging LT formation becomes a sluggish C&H. I bet the IBD folks think it is too slow. The saucer of the NAZ and the...

My position on NFI was that it was not a buy long, a sell short. and that is was in an inverted saucer formation. I do not predict as a part of my approach to being rich. I showed you chart after chart after chart. I think of this a drawing a picture for you. I was unsuccessful. Mr...

Your Q's show a nice set of observations. Breakout is in a trap that prevents him from getting to where you are. His last chart was a one hour hold, for example. Once you get out of this trapped level of trading, you will see that your first Q has to have a yes answer. The whole thread...

I'm out of HOV. I use a MACD peaking and "away" and x over on declining volume. I went out at the 5 min interval where the VDU occurred. The VDU means that no one agrees on the price. This extreme decline in volume is a flaw. what gave us the gap today was a lot of opening volume which just...

I commented within the quote. See the ***'s. nice open today. I'll use HOV as an example. It just passed Mr Market's target for 4 to 6 weeks out this am and we are now most of the way through the short term cycle I use.

Here's a simple overall chart

I guess the strategy part of a trading style would be to make money using an approach to be increasing your efficiency by stages as time goes by. The second strategy aspect would be to utilize capital in different time durations. The three I use are intraday , short term and IT. I found...

Back testing is hard to do at best. The use of closed bars is just flim flam and denial level of backtesting. In making money there is a timing aspect. If a person has a strategy of using closed bars for trading he is a simpleton at best. If you look at signals from indicators almost...
