cash, loads of traders use tick charts to trade but it's meaningless to say you are looking at 200 and 400 tick charts because different data providers have different numbers of ticks in their download (i.e. some like IB sample the data) and different markets will have vastly different settings...

Morning guys and the move was all pretty much as predicted. The arrows point to the Tails-of-Pain I mentioned on Friday. This was a big clue to the short trem direction. Friday morning's first posts were looking at the gameplan and the 3-Pushes To High was the signal that the bullish triangle...

Started trading Stocks and Options in 1986 using an acoustic coupler and charts for Gann analysis. In 1988 started using the brand new Reuters realtime charting service and quickly followed that with Kighght Ridder Tradestation (only 6 in all of London) on a massively powerful IBM 286...

just saw your post CF see the reversal on the 1 min triple top... that's the way to take it down see ya Mon ;)

don't know if you got that move - I'm having some family time so not been active in the forum. I have been going 17 hrs and still feel fresh, just love the markets. Started this morning with a mention about time overbalancing price and this is a case of it. This is a nice triple top short...

good ex of why you sit out a swing - looked like a deliberate attermpt to throw us out earlier we need higher and more time for a monster swing down

they're making Irish Fx Stew

Dow taking a bit of a digging

yes CF, 50 points is a reasonable swing and then the reverse can double it. not unusual to have to jostle for position - think about what that means I missed a 50 swing earlier cos I had my 1 hr chart covered with the 4 hr chart but got this one perfect I read the swing wrong earlier...

Guys the only psychology I need is PIB – then get more aggressive. Position play… El C you thought it was going up and poss breakout I thought you might be right but I think down first… but what if I’m wrong? I’m convinced I’m right so I take simple top – if I think it...

El C.. Psychologically, that is very hard to do. Are the most profitable plays the most psychologically challenging? explain?

trying to trade and tell you what will happen before it moves

kinda hard to explain this long was based on Supt on 5 min @16 why long when I'm looking short? warped mind - they throw you off the scent 4/5 touches - it was actually 5 min chart - it was not set up properly hence saying long wanting down so short top then on arrow long...

ok long again

based on 4 touches - trade what you see n not what you want

trying for swings there are 2 must-take trades others are iffy coz I was wanting more downside but the T/L is the issue. Need a little higher for more energy down but long now looking short

nah you did fine but if you decide to position and B/e or play aggressive then you'll feel better. Position play if PIB... and if fairly confident of swing possibility Close to position for continuation down but it's messy

off the 1 min - yea CF

shark infested territory - grow a big fin ;)

I mean to get good swing down - even better if the hr turns and we are close to the highs
