Black and white. If it's too bright, just turn down your monitor.

And for our ES friends:

I didn't. The AMT notation refers to 1700/1698. But then there's that higher low.

I'll take Paris.

Yes. 8 is rej, so why not? What's the risk?

When I left, I also suggested that anyone who wanted to continue trading short 19. I wonder if anybody did?

This is what I'm looking at, largely because price continues to test the lower limit and partly because price has not left the channel. There have also been excellent trading ops off this mean. However, if you want to consider my mean your lower limit and plot a new mean, that's fine. What is...

There was some discussion today about the synergy between the SLA and AMT and when to focus on one or the other or both. The chart below I hope illustrates how they work together. I haven't posted entries and exits because anyone who's been following along knows where they are and, not only do...

Technically, yes. But this is one of those things that can be tested within the context of the SLA. A hinge is after all another form of chop, and one doesn't want to be chewed up in chop. However, the hinge also offers a built-in launching pad. Sometimes these go and sometimes they don't. If...

There's also the matter of how much confirmation one requires, which is a function of how much he needs to be right. These are all personal issues. Take, for example, the bounce off the apex of the hinge at 08.

Discretionary systems are also systems, unless one confuses them with the "make it up as I go along" approach.

Take care, though, that you're not going through all this to protect yourself from the market. If it's just a matter of rapid-fire analysis, focus only on those elements that are absolutely essential. The various sorts of risk are not some of them.

The trade is not gone if you place your entrystop in the right place. Whatever confirmation may occur takes place after the entry is triggered.

Don't rely too much on a TC that is so very short-term and is so narrow. For one, it may not last very long. For another, the mean, though it exists, may not provide any trading opportunities. Look, for example, how traders have treated it so far. What will more likely matter is a break out of...

You may or may not have reached the following post. If not, it may be helpful at this point: You'll note on the main chart that price has broken the demand line and held in a sideways direction for several days. Even though the demand line has been broken, this is a potential RET entry. And...

Clearly you don't measure up to the standards set by the "real" traders. :( Where have you been, by the way? Anyplace exciting?

Efficiency, mostly. One can't expect every moderator to read every post on every thread every day. But if a moderator is responsible primarily for one forum, he's more likely to be reasonably familiar with the players and with what goes on there. And if a trader has an issue, he has somebody to...

Cornholio, no matter what else, keep your wallet in your pants. Preferably a zippered pocket. Or, better still, leave it at home.

Did you trade more than one lot for more than an hour? :)

I'm afraid I still don't understand why so many people trade this. Or try to. Perhaps it will all become clear as this cycle works its way through.
