no for 5 min and day trading Brooks is the icon. but be warned Brooks makes the simple, complicated and usually it is covered with so much dirt, that the diamond is hidden

oh i have them rule no 1 do not buy high in a range but in the first trade of the day, it takes some time to warm up, to know what today's conditions is....i had the same problem in golf: in first 3 holes i would have at least 2 bogies and then two bogies in the balance 15. that is why right...

not really.it can be read but sometimes for me the volatility is too much for my account size and tops step risk limits

i am a bit surprised so few people use Brooks-yes i accept his style is good for day trading and scalps. and so many people call him a fraud when all he does is take traditional technical analysis and give some names to describe old patterns.so it is the same stuff but in a new packaging . I...

hey i have been here in ET a long time heard AND seen a lot of posts but i have seen a more level headed person than you ever. you are the one of the few i am following. you have described Brooks and LInda perfectly and both a my favorite educators though Brooks is not an educator per se, he is...

nothing wrong with indicators but they have a fixed look back period. when you say something is going faster, it means it is going faster compared to something some time in the past. if i do it with my eyes, i can compare present, with anytime i want in the past. this an indicator cannot do...

if you are a newbie it is better. Until you can develop your own style. with Brooks it is impossible to follow him 'diligently' because he just talks about so many things. i basically just use his basic entry set ups ,two leg moves/corrections, which was 'discovered' long before Brooks was...
