    Price/Volume Relationship

    Time is important to me but not in the context of constant time interval bars. I use volume bars as others here suggest but use time to frame my market. Break the market down into its time components and see what is happening and why during the various intervals. For instance pre-market...

    Staying Long anyone?

    Reloaded shorts at 8:30 am and scrubbed off the underwater stuff at breakeven. We're under distribution. But when will the long-term bull end? Who knows. But some back fill is inevitable.

    Staying Long anyone?

    I'm short and underwater. Bu then again I'm short at a very close number to our "new alltime high." I'm also a masochist and like watching myself bleed in the mirror while trading and scream out the window occasionally to scare away any potential visitors. Like the Celtic warriors I like to...

    Trader P/L 2007

    I got my arse kicked today. Gap and run no fill. Bulls stretched. Too big a position and I held through it all to a sizeable loss( - $ 2800). Pretty unusual trading lately.

    Longer time-frame = more money

    I try to micromanage entries to help reduce risk but look to longer timeframes for exit.

    Longer time-frame = more money

    I maintain that the longer you stretch out your time frame the more money you stand to make. The money is in the swings. Swing time leverage = home run. What say ET to this premise

    When futures lead, or trail, any meaning?

    Yeah, but..... The answer is: It depends... As in much of life.... So, yes, as Whitser says "Maynard, it is worth monitoring," but you need to know what you're looking at. Sorry to be cryptic but what you're watching is essentially order balance in relation to cash. A pop can be a...

    Breakout anyone?

    Interestingly we are within striking distance of a new high (spoos) and if the fed provides the impetus then the question is will the short covering rally fall back to earth with a thud. Last Thursday's action certainly suggested a few are anxious about their gains....

    When does one start trading big

    Psych. 1 to 5 back to 1 or 2 2 to 10 back to 3 or 4 4 to 20 back to 5 or 10 10 to 50 back to 20. Why? Because you need time to clean up the vomit when you puke your guts out on your first real "drawdown"
