Kevin your message is more important than any method posted on ET. All of us would do well to insure that we heed your advice. Thank you.

Kevin ..... patience, perseverence, and a plan!!!! What are you trying to do man, give away all the secrets? :) Sashe, nice list and thanks. There are some familiar names on that list that tend to really pop. Thanks for the heads up.

ksthomsen... thanks for the setups. When a long time member like ks' who is an infrequent poster posts... it is usually a jewel. This time is no exception. The point ks' makes about how well he would expect the NR's to do in a more volatile market is a great heads up for us going into this...

Nice commentary here thinskis. The point you make is one that really needs to be emphasized. Yes, there is a school of thought that says you can trade the NRID as a stop and reverse and MOC trade. That in fact probably more likely represents the published authors intentions. However, like you...

Ouch! The true outside day is the absolute nemesis of the NRID patterns. However, the Live Cattle chart illustrates something that I have watched occur time and again, but have never studied. When I looked at the chart last nite using my charts, I noticed that the NRID was just below the 40...

Nice charts Kevin. Thanks for the heads up. I am impressed by the support the 200 day ma provided. Thanks again.

Nice hogs chart. I think I counted only two true outside days during that whole period. And none following obvious narrow range days or consolidation pattern breaks.

There are so many emini traders on ET that I am sure any nice setups you provide will be welcomed and appreciated.

backman , your integrity precedes you such that you never need to consider that your posts might be viewed as hindsight. Thanks for the heads up on BBH.

Hey thin'! Great chart. I am so glad you posted it because the indices are some of the best examples of narrow range breaks. It isn't stocks only by intention, I just focus on stocks. It would be great if you would post some futures charts or point us to them. I'm guessing you mean real...

Something is getting ready to happen here:

Here is a set of circumstances that I happen to like. This is the GDT 60 minute chart. Notice there is a large gap at 56. Gaps fill. Also notice we are very near the major ma's. The two indicators below show divergences relative to price. And there is consolidation. To satisfy those members...

BA revisited. I added some more information to this chart to highlight things like gaps refilling, resistance becoming support, increasing volume with consolidation breaks followed by decreasing volume during pullbacks. All of this stuff is widely-published, well-discussed, and easy to...

This is the quintessential quote illustrating a desire for the Holy Grail. Within the context of the first two sentences this trader has at his disposal a strategy that can be used to make a lot of money. The problem is he doesn't recognize it because he is blinded by his desire to find the...

Sorry for the delay Steve. My stuff is so simple it will probably disappoint you. The idea of the speed of the bar sounds pretty interesting. I have never used it per se, although if I am watching a bar and price rises very very quickly on relatively light volume, I figure it is going to come...

I looked at the chart again just now and I realized that the strong move was Thursday, and the consolidation was all day today. That is my bad for not seeing that right up front. I think that when using the 5 minute chart, the strong move needs to be off the open on the same day as the slim jim...

Ah yes, I think you're right thin', thanks. Okay I read up a bit on the slim jim. Actually the first time I ever read about this set up was in that book by the well-loved Oliver Valez. I don't think he called it the slim jim, but he sure praised it as a nice setup. I recall that he suggested...

stocon... how are you man? I'm sorry, I left just after posting and just now signed on again. I'll have to look up the slim jim trade, I remember reading about it and it sure seemed like a legit setup at the time. Plus, I don't get the emini's real time - unless the YM is free thru QCharts -...

Nice oddi! Once again the basic concept of consolidation-expansion has proven itself worthy of consideration by any trader. I know there are some people on this board that are looking for 100% mechanical turnkey methods that will generate untold amounts of monetary wealth without having...
