I doubt you can find anything usefull below the 15M chart ...

the disconnect is because of emotions taking over (I hope I don't have to repeat that anymore ...) There really is no point in discussing this any further ... while I was daytrading (and I did get some ideas from that) I was working also in the sidelines at more a more swingtrading orientated...

well, my main problem probably wasn't not about not knowing what I was doing ... it was me more sabotaging myself in the realtime process of mostly seeing things right caused by my emotions ... it was quite easy analysing a market in the evening and knowing how to play it than doing the actual...

nope, I managed to fuck things up overall ... it just was one big rollercoaster ride with way too much emotions and my account followed the rollercoaster ... like I said three times allready it's nothing for me ... I probably wouldn't be saying that if everything was peaches ... like I said I...

The idea is letting trades more run; this should help me provide me with more profits. Letting trades run is just not possible in daytrading ...

Gold has een ib on the daily chart: I'll be buying when we cross that to the upside. I am very bullish on gold ...

conclusion of the week: no more daytrading for me. Mods you might close and/of delete this thread ... it's purely a waste of space and energy ...

During the crashes of 2000 and 2008 it only went up and up seeing new highs that were totally out of line with historical implied vol ... what would you have done ? Shorted it ? You would have been totally killed ...

what would it have helped you to know the average historical implied vol for the indices for example: the last years we have been only going down and down, with the occasional spike here and there ... what would you do with your 'knowledge' ? ? ?

you are going about this totally the wrong way: vix has nothing to do with historical vol, but with implied vol; if you can predict implied vol you are nothing less of a genius ... I doubt though you are in fact so ...
