    Christmas In March For Price TA Trader Wannabes

    Sounds like you need some "new rules". It's my contention... "Price TA works in ALL markets and in ALL time frames and EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IN ALL". IOW... if you know Price TA for the stock index futures, you can trade metals, grains, currencies et al with the same principles. (Wow!) KISS...

    Christmas In March For Price TA Trader Wannabes

    Trying to post real time trades for the view of others is very distracting so I won't do that. What I showed in the charts are regularly occurring setups. I named what they are. They are not "hind sight trade fitting", but rather "how things work every day". If you took the time to learn...

    Christmas In March For Price TA Trader Wannabes

    That's a really great question and one I'm sure all of the curious would like to know. The answer is no... "S/R are tested at the same in ALL tf charts at exactly the same time". There would not be a time when you'd want to GO long in one time frame and GO short in some other time frame...

    I don't recall why... prolly some specious reason. Have taken off block for now.

    How to become better at Technical Analysis?

    I don't know what you expect from me. I generously disclosed a market strategy that works and is highly successful. Yet, you give me lip. Do with the info as you wish. No skin off my nose if you don't. In the words of Dick Cavett... "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her...

    I ain't paying your bills, so I don't give a shit about what you think. I don't have "9 figures" yet, but I do have 8.... What you got?

    How to become better at Technical Analysis?

    I've just shown you "how it works". Research it for yourself. Look... If you were potentially going to pay me a bundle of money if I "proved it to you", then I likely would go the the bother. But why would I go to the bother of proving if there were no upside for me... "likes" on ET? If you...

    The lows matter for support buys. The highs matter for resistance sells. Nothing between is of any consequence.

    Well, you likely don't know for sure at any time. The best you can do is "trade what you see... trade the charts". Sometimes the market seems logically to be crazy bullish/bearish for no good reason. The best way to keep on top of things is to trade the charts and not try to think deeply as to...

    How to become better at Technical Analysis?

    Ther's a problem. If you "hold yourself out to the public for your performance" in the market for soliciting fees from investors, you need to "validate your track record". In the eyes of the SEC, "you can't claim ANYTHING unless you disclose EVERYTHING". Well, NOBODY wants to disclose...

    How to become better at Technical Analysis?

    Yes. In 1994, I won 3-categories. (I'd had 2 other top-10 results in prior years). I estimate that the contest was essential in my attracting new clients worth ~$2 Million in management fees. Seems it took them that long to conclude that I actually did "know what I was talking about". :)

    How to become better at Technical Analysis?

    Why does anybody have to "prove anything to you"? People are only going to try to "prove" themselves when there is an upside for them to do so*. ("Proof" is expensive, in case you don't realize.) Maybe they want you to subscribe to their advisory or invest in their pool of funds. Who else...

    Blows my mind... there were ~185 ES points potential in this structure for ONE DAY... when the net change for the RTH was only 2 points... TWO POINTS! (Not saying anybody caught or could have caught all of it... but it was "there to be caught")... and barely any ET'ers are interested in learning...

    So... you think some TA trader deserves to go through the hassle and expense of an audit just to satisfy your smug ass?

    Yesterday, Mar 2, with a little overnight. I couldn't get the date in the chart as the capture wouldn't allow me to save if I tried to include the Windows frame.

    How many contracts to buy for 3x leverage in futures?

    Are you leveraging your "trading account" or your total trading capital?? Whenever you employ leverage, whether it be multiple "x" of an ETF, futures contract, or margin exposure... you should consider the "notional amount at risk vs. your total investing capital/net worth".
