There's been some good stuff posted on ET about determining trend and trading it accordingly..oh! and making heaps of bux!! :cool: I'm trying to get the hang of this trend recognition thing and was hoping to get some feedback/abuse/whatever from the experts so I can become better at this...

Hi Flashboy, Obviously you had a bulk of today's profits come from your shorts at 10:15am. It seems that up to today you have been cutting your winning trades a little short. What made you hang on longer this time to let the winner run a little? Well done on your profitable day by the way...

Yep, I'm in Auckland. Trading has been limited due to the timezone thing (and I have a nice-paying day job currently). You from down this way?

Does TWS have decent realtime intraday charting of ES, etc that I could use instead of having to use QT (or E-Signal, QCharts...)? If so, what is the main advantage of QT over TWS' charting?

I could maybe live without them. You said "How about..." - do you have an alternative? Thx

Great...and one more question cos I know it's traderkay's journal :), how long do you give the day to establish it's "opening range"? For eg, today the 9:30 - 10.00am ES range was 881 (9:40am) down to 874.50, but then the bottom of this range was broken at 10:30am when it went down to 873.50...

Db, what's your main basis of detecting a trend of the lack thereof in a day like today (4/08)? :confused: Thx Tom

dawg, for a beginner trader (i.e me!!) this is just great stuff :) . appreciate your work and thanks! i follow this journal with great interest.

Out of interest - what trading station are you running through your dial-up? J-trader or other? Just interested as I have dial-up only currently and am looking to swap to e-minis from options but not sure if my current set up will handle it (dial-up combined with out of date OS (Win98) and...

Out of interest, do you trade this 1-minute 33-18-1 trend on a regular basis? How does it perform? Thanks...
