The crossover is supposed to be the exit also. One of the toughest parts of trading is accepting that you will always leave money on the table. With ma's, you leave the least on the table when the trend is slow and orderly - subjectively speaking. This is manifested by price that doesn't...

Ok I see now. But were you trying to get short for a big move or a shorty? Were you looking for 200 points? Because that is exactly how I trade my longer term positions. With cost of biz so cheap relative to pre-internet days, ie., charts and commish, there is no reason to take big hits on...

I knew there was a simple solution. And all the time I have just been trying to trade more winners. But seriously, profit I am not sure I understand the question. It seems to my pea-brain that you trade oranges and want to apply a rule for apples. I say this because you preface your post...

Well sort of, the method also includes the use of the Historical Volatility Ratio. But that idea too was the addtional work of Raschke/Connors. And I emailed Pierce as I said I would earlier in this thread and he did not reply to me either. Disappointing siince he had replied to earlier...

LOL :D :D Just goes to show you, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Most of your "great new way" posts validate the kind of simplicity I depend on. :)

I deleted my post. The posts I usually delete bash other members, stray off-topic, or contain obviously inappropriate vulgarity. So if I deleted a post of yours for one of those three reasons, I don't apologize. But if I deleted a post that was just one of your usually humorous one's that...

Great point WDGann. You are absolutely right. My pea-brain wasn't seeing you mesage before, but I see it now and it's a good one. LOL... the backup plan part makes me think of that flashing banner I see on the top of web pages enticingly offereing... "make $5000, $6000, even more per month...

LOL! :D :D I found indoor plumbing was a big help for me. It seemed I always missed the best trades when I went to the outhouse. Maybe that's just "hind"-sight! Lol, I "crack" myself up. Lol, there's another one! :)

Say you're a farmer and you have been a fairly successful farmer as farmers go. Year after year you farm the way you know works, the way you have been successful. Sometimes it's a dry spring, sometimes it doesn't rain for four straight weeks, sometimes the crop is a bit thin, but overall, it all...

matt every trading method I wrote with Tradestation was on fire from mid may to late June. You hit it right I think when you defined the type of day to day action we have been seeing. When you look at the marke structure then and now, it pretty much jumps out at you. Good luck man. It...

Just a few questions and a thought or two... By swing trading then can I presume you mean trades lasting maybe 2-3 days and not daytrading? Are you entering the trade with a bias of your own, and not what the market is giving you? I think in other words this is expressed as, are you...

Nice day going for you. I agree with you about lunch, it is usually sooooo flat. Sometimes the autoscaling on the chats make it look worthwhile, and sometimes it even is worthwhile, but it seems that most of the lunch is for lunch, and not trading. You might remember snosur4's experience...

Nice work on the gap fade. Let's see now, 10 points times the 10 contracts you and Bob trade, each... so that's ..... a nice way to start the day. :)

Just so there are no misconceptions, the policy of EliteTrader is to prohibit using a self-referencing commercial link or website in the post or signature. As this site depends on commercial sponsors, the reason for this policy is easily understood. I post this here just so there is no...

LOL! hoodoos? You read too much. :) I can quote Seuss, and I can get juice. And when there's a spat, I call the truce. And I kiss the booboos and clean up the doodoos, But I've never heard of a thing called the hoodoos! Is it big? Is it fluffy? Is its nose round and puffy? Do you...

GG you have said all that needs to be said. It cannot be said any more succinctly. Start from there, go forward, and reap the rewards. :)

Cathy, After The Importance of Simplicity thread I wouldn't think you would be too surprised. If you want to really say "wow", check out the length of the thread by Quah called "Something very Simplistic". It was at the top of the charts maybe two months ago. Totally mechanical. For about 3...

That is probably most easily seen also by those who look at longer term charts. The 200 day SMA - the mother of all averages - is not the same as the 40 week, a very common average. Yet, for purposes of determining trend direction via the slope, they are very close. However, point well...

Of course since the idea for the Chimp is published on a website, and looks like it has been there awhile given the prices, I guess that several more traders from ET probably won't bring the whole idea grinding to a screeching halt. Same goes with the 30 minute breakout trade recently...

Aphie had that same idea nitro with his Jasper program. I know he has it set up for chat as it is. I have used it with him. Btw, I trade the ES with Jasper now. It's a nice package. :)
