Not following you Longshot. It just so happens that you are pulling up threads that are interesting and somewhat out of circulation. I cannot say I have ever seen JeanMichael post. Anyway, I feel I can immediately see what the concept is behind his method just from the post previous to...

Moving average crossover methods will consistently put you in position to take significant profits. Unless of course you don't know what you are doing and are looking for some sort of guaranteed trading method. If you actually understand what the stochastic and macd are telling you, and when...

Longshot when you have it distilled, please be so kind to post it. Not for me, I know the method, but for anyone else who either didn't know an ORB method, or who missed the concise discussion in "The Importance of Simplicity" thread. You would really be doing a great service and I'm sure it...

There is no reason at all that a simple strategy should require so much discussion. If you have to take the bulk of these pages to explain your method, it is not simple. Check out the link www.dacharts.com. There are some nice methods there that work. They don't take anywhere near the space that...

Nice chart spieler. IMO, there is no more powerful signal than the macd divergence. For those who are new to it, the term divergence used above is not in the same context as the in the name of the indicator. Moving average convergence divergence refers to the action of the averages that make...

Forget the noise? Oohhhhhhh! My bad. I thought this was an open discussion about simple trading methods. I didn't realize that it was a closed discussion between dbphoenix and those who want to discuss the method dbphoenix trades. My mistake entirely. Perhaps then this thread should be moved...

stocon, Check out the thread, "Say what you want about the wave". I started it hoping it would generate some interesting discussion about Prechter and the wave. There are quite a few good comments in there, and there is a lot of the usual inane banter too. Sorry about that. I wasn't a...

larrybf makes an important point as well. His specific time frames are not nearly as revealing as the ratio of lengths of his ma's. There are no magic numbers.... just great concepts. The question you have to ask is what is important about a 5:1 ratio. Many will get hung up on, "why not 6:1...

How am I supposed to compete against guys who think like this? I'm out here working and slaving, trying to keep it simple and remember the importance thereof... and my friend Runningbear steps up and posts this. Maaaaaan! It's no surprise though, you should see what he did with the Line in the...

lobster you got it. And the amazing thing is - people don't believe it, won't stick with it, and will fudge it up trying to improve it. You have to look at this biz the way a baseball player does when at bat, or a quarterback does with the pass. Barry Bonds gets a hit less than 35% of the...

wally, I saw your post over at the futures forum and wanted to post my own thanks here too for the 62% FR tactic. Very nice. As with most new ideas to me I watch them for awhile to get comfortable with their characteristics. I have been watching that one and it definitely puts you in a...

wally, I have been meaning to post a thanks for the 62% FR clue. That is a nice one. And since most if not all chart packages include it, it is indeed simple. Thanks again. I'll post this same thanks over on the Simplicity thread to revive it a bit and give the members a chance to review...

Hi trevor, There are definitely good straegies for adding to positions. I think this is a good question for discussion. Could you describe the type of trade you are looking at for this idea? I am sure we can presume you are not scalping, but scalping means different things to different...

Hey Ditch, Thanks for that link. Nice resource. :)

Wow great stuff Volker. Thanks. Wealth-Lab sure seems like a great way to go. I like the intuitive language code. Here's what I want, so here's what I type. Now if I were only smart enough to figure out what I want..... :D Thanks again Volker. :)

Thanks profitseer. I appreciate it. I think I was snagged by the phrase "pickup on failed breakouts before they happen". From your reply and AllenZ's also, I take it more to mean what we all look for, clues that a breakout stands a good chance of failing. Thanks for the help guys...

onelot, I really have to apologize first for asking this. Maybe too much pumpkin pie yesterday. But how do you know something has failed before it does? Please, I am not being facetious. I use divergence as a main tool so I am with you there. I am just a bit lost on the main question. Sorry...

'Obviously trending' is at least as specific as "important swing lows", "usual reversal ops", and "find a point where longs are going to get rattled." To answer your slope question, since you apparently are not an astute reader, I used the phrase 'empirically measured.' I checked this...

db, Not unlike others, I enjoy reading what other members have to say about simple methods. So when I see a new thread titled Keeping It Simple, I am going to check it out. Had the thread said Keeping It Simple by dbphoenix, I would not have checked it out. If you think that is following...

But you're not, traderkay, and proper grammar specifies that "if and were" go together traderkay, not "if and was." Written correctly then, it should read ... "so if I were inandlong, i'd be quiet." I'll overlook the simple errors in construction and capitalization, since this is a thread...
