    Breakout Trading - Smart Play or Fool's Game?

    I just realized that I didn't set the poll up the way I wanted to.....and I can't edit it.

    Breakout Trading - Smart Play or Fool's Game?

    The subject of this thread is within the title itself. Do you consider breakout trading to be a high-probability way to make money in the markets, or do you consider it to be a fool's game? I think we can all agree that breakouts do occur but I'm speaking generally...when price typically reaches...

    It's summertime, and you know what that means in the big cities. . .

    Frankly, they can kill each other into extinction and I wouldn't give a fuck...just as long as they keep that bullshit in their so-called communities.

    Most Difficult Market To Trade ?

    I trade strictly by price so I don't see any market as being more difficult than another. I track index futures, currency futures, fx, financial futures, commodities, etc. and I've traded some markets without even knowing the market...based purely on the market's action.

    How many of you (small timeframe) traders take PA into account?

    Well, just caught a secondary test in Euro and Nasdaq futures. Profitable trades so far. If PA doesn't work, someone should tell the markets. Let me now see if oil turns around to the upside......2 min. chart.

    How many of you (small timeframe) traders take PA into account?

    Why do you constantly fuss at those who don't use whatever form of analysis you deem proper? I've noticed that whenever someone talks TA or PA, you never stop fussing. What's the deal? If your method of analysis works so well, why bother fussing at those whom you believe aren't doing as well as...

    How many of you (small timeframe) traders take PA into account?

    We can all have our opinions about PA or any other form of analysis but one thing none of us can argue with is results.

    How many of you (small timeframe) traders take PA into account?

    Candlestick patterns is one of those things I will probably never understand. LOL. From my experience, candlesticks causes one to focus too much on how bars close and other nonsense instead of focusing on zones of support and resistance. They (candlesticks) look good for show, but I prefer bar...

    PA is the only thing that makes sense on any time frame, IMO.

    Trading News Releases = Gambling ?

    I can't speak for those people except to say that risk management plays a large role in how much their wrong decision will affect them.

    Trading News Releases = Gambling ?

    I'd say that trading strictly the release is a form of gambling. However, if you can read price, you can usually tell if it's setting up for an up or down move before a release. That's been my experience, at least.

    Michael Moore: "Disarm The Police... & Release Black Inmates Jailed For Drug Offenses"

    As someone who grew up in black, drug infested neighborhoods most of my life, let me tell you this: drug dealers usually aren't locked up just for drugs. There's usually a lot of murder and robbery attached to their drug dealing. Liberals would have you believe that they were simply selling dope...

    Baltimore Prosecutor Better Win

    The prosecution won't be able to prove any of their charges. The officers will walk. That's what they get for respond to fake, emotional negro outrage.

    Breakout system ES

    I'm no pro but I had this same problem trading a similar system. What helped me was to stop worrying about getting in 1 tick above/below certain bars and whatnot. I simply plot support and resistance points and buy/sell at those points with a close stop. I've found that waiting for price to...

    Is that in the spot or the commission FX markets?

    Need A Real Professional FX Broker

    I don't know if this helps but I switched to currency futures instead of the fx spot market in order to duck the really wide spreads. I use TD Ameritrade and you can expect a 2.5 pip spread on average even in the major pairs. Their commission FX market has a 1/10th of a pip spread in the majors...

    why tonight's ISM data is good, but the USD is down?

    Probably because it decreases the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in the near future?

    Old & Busted: Obamaphones. The new hotness: Obamabooks

    That's actually what I came in here to say. LOL....that Obama zealots more than likely can't read and if they do read, it's only in the most rudimentary fashion.

    Prisoner in van said Freddie Gray was ‘trying to injure himself,’ document says

    When I hear these savages in Baltimore claim that they engage in crime because there's no money, no jobs, etc., my question is: If there's no money, then why are you selling dope in that very community? You shouldn't be able to turn a profit of any type if there's no money in those communities.
