    Gold, Silver, and Indexes Using Price Action

    Why would one want to do that? That's no fun. Look at my oil charts . . .

    All of which is hindsight, but thanks anyway.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    That's not a range; it's a reversal. But you got the direction right. That's a start.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    The "grail" method is 100 NQ pts in the hole. If the SLA doesn't make a dime, it is far superior to the above.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    Random entry appears to be what the OP is using. Isn't working out so well.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    The range creates the lines, not vice-versa. One needn't draw any lines at all. Those who believe otherwise don't understand what a range is or why it forms.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    Okay. So . . . Incidentally, I'm going to assume that those who think this is a viable method have no idea why we're stalling at 30 or what the next level down is in case price drops from here.

    The Foresight Thread

    Troll bait. It gets to the point where it affects my trading, and no one appears to benefit from it anyway. I'll be happy to contribute to the journals of those who want to pursue this. Just not here.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    So the "grail" method is now in the hole for more than a hundred points. Not being embarrassed about posting losing trades is admirable, but if the method provides no sense of direction whatsoever, there is no practical value in posting the losing trades other than to emphasize the fact that...

    Surely you aren't saying that BP wouldn't have cleaned up its mess in the Gulf of Mexico because it felt so bad about it.

    The Foresight Thread

    Anyone who is trading an hourly interval knows that their demand line was broken yesterday afternoon at 79, dropping to 72 (there's 72 again). Price then rallied, but dropped back below the line at 1500, eventually reaching 64 this morning. The question is how far can price drop after a break...

    Gold, Silver, and Indexes Using Price Action

    Seeing what so many people have done with the SLA has been an interesting experience. I've known for years just how fearful most traders are, and I've known for years how difficult it is to overcome these fears, much less dissipate them. But when I see how the SLA is so often implemented, I have...

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    If shorts or longs are exited without notice, that alone brings this tally into question. And if it includes the hindsight Squiggles charts of which we've seen so many in this thread (containing so many entries that have to be taken in the middle of the night), the tally becomes meaningless...

    two worst ideas

    Viewing trading as a fight or a battle can be as damaging as trading without a plan, and trading without a plan is usually the genesis for that sort of view, just as being dropped into a forest without any survival skills prompts one to view the forest as hostile. But the forest just is. The...

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    The Squiggles Method appears to be quite remarkable as it allows one to be both long and short in the same instrument at the same time. But brushing aside all the kerfuffle, the fact remains that after four (five?) trades, all losers, the Squiggles Method is 70pts (at least; stay tuned) in the...
