What is the reason you picked 9 minutes? Just a value that happens to work for you? Do you always use 9 minute charts? Are you saying this as a rule? For example, once price hits S and moves a certain number of ticks away from S, then it will continue in the same direction and so you...

Fixed typo.

Ouch.

Three years later and it's still under $0.50/share.

Are you suggesting I use the 60 minute chart to make entry and exit decisions, or just as a way of looking at the overall trend? Do you include overnight session data on those charts? Cool, thanks. I knew about freestockcharts.com but I don't think they have futures data...

I'm trying to see if the 5 second chart holds any clues as to why price might reverse or continue through certain price levels. If it doesn't prove to have any advantage I'll stop looking at it.

Let's have a look at that IHS on the 5 second chart: Each point of the IHS was accompanied by high volume. I'm pretty bad at reading volume but it looks like the first shoulder had higher volume, the head definitely had higher volume, and the right shoulder had higher volume. I don't...

Today and yesterday were dojis so maybe it's about to start.

Here's today's ES:

I will check out the reviews on that later. Thanks for the link. I don't think I've seen that one.

Sometimes it will work better than SMA. Sometimes it will work worse than SMA. It depends on how in tune price movement is with the settings of the MA. There is no way to know this ahead of time. Sometimes a 10 period SMA is perfect for catching trends. Sometimes a 10 period will...

I've noticed that gold has been around 1:2 bid:ask for a while yet is continuing to go down. Look at the huge number of orders at 1,732.5. Does that mean anything?

Silver spiked back up yesterday! I had an order sitting to buy 800 shares of USLV @ $7.92 and it didn’t get filled because USLV only got down to $7.95. If my order had been at $7.95 instead and had gotten filled I would now have 1,385 shares of USLV with an average cost of $8.64 and...

Were they selling a lot of silver or something before?

That is vague. Can I have some examples of "high probability areas of PA?" Why shouldn't I go below 60 minutes? What constitutes "ridiculous" tick/volume/second settings and why do they hurt more than they help? On a related note, is there a place I can get free historical daily...

Does anyone know what caused that spike today?

I had no way of knowing I should've entered anywhere today. I'm still studying charts and to see if I can even come up with reasons why an entry might make sense.

That's good advice but I don't think most people even get to the point of having a winning system.

Here's the third touch.

Let's look at those touches of ORH as support on the 5 second chart and see if there is anything suggesting that price would bounce off of it the first two times but not the third time. Here are the first two times it hit the ORH.
