    Keeping It Simple

    Oh lighten up db. You are so predictable. I should have just come out and said that for a thread with the title "Keeping It Simple", the method you have been describing is anything but; however, previously any post by anyone that disagrees with you in the slightest incurs a defensive and...

    Keeping It Simple

    And I thought this thread was about keeping it simple. Am I in the wrong place? No, just checked again to be sure. Let's see, so after the entry which is very simple, as any breakout entry is, then it becomes a simple matter of: applying simple reversal techniques if I subjectively determine...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Cathy I'm with you. I posted a similar idea a little bit ago on the Keeping it Simple thread. The monkey thing is very similar. It is really just a rehash of the trend within a trend concept. They all work if traded properly. I agree with your previous posts that even though the method is...

    Keeping It Simple

    Yes that can be the case. It can be traded in such a way that will provide less than satisfactory results. I guess that was your experience dbphoenix. Tough break. And of course, "satisfactory" is so subjective. Say for example 3 pts in the ES or 6 in the NQ, very popular vehicles, might be...

    Keeping It Simple

    :D :D :D What a holiday gift this is for me. Thank you so much. Here is a simple futures method that works very well. Using an intermediate length moving average and a very short one, trade in the direction of the longer one when the shorter one crosses in that direction. Enter at the open...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    No post has been deleted that had any of your strategy in it dbphoenix. I copy and save all of the posts that I delete. After a time I delete those from my files too. Your most recent post on this thread is the first that you have shared your strategy. Were it not, the two members who have...

    Samba, He might have redone the online course in the last 2 years or so, but I think the book is very complete and there wouldn't be much to gain from taking the course. Each day the website posts the stocks that fall into the different categories of setups he describes in the book. It is...

    Yeah but nitro, you're a programmer in your previous life! Everything to you should be boiled down to 3-4 pages tops. You know, the less code you have, the fewer bugs.... :)

    Alan Farley's website

    Alan is a straight shooter. You cannot go wrong with his site or material. He has always communicated directly with me. I did the online course about 3 years ago. My book review is quoted on his site. A+ for that fella. I am glad to see his success growing. And the coiled spring is very...

    Very short-term intra-day strategies?

    When you speak of 15 sec and 30 sec bars then you want to scalp. If you are looking to scalp, using a momentum indicator set very fast will be a good start. Websites such as clearstation.com and stockcharts.com provide good discussions about momentum indicators. Warning: you will hear that...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    The opening range breakout strategy, moving average crossover strategy, fibonacci retracement strategy, Bollinger Band penetration strategy, etc., are excellent strategies for trading. From experience I know that each of these strategies is applicable to equities and futures. Exclusively...

    Gazing at the entrails

    Sweet Babak! Thx for the heads up. This is a divergence I have not looked for previously Babak. Is it one you routinely use? I guess I'm really asking if this has historical significance or is it just an acute finding. Thanks again. :)

    GG, November - It Begins

    Wow such support! I am sure this is exactly what one has in mind when he begins a journal... badgering to live up to others' expectations, and disparagement if he doesn't. Not quite the goals I would have in mind... but hey, that's just me. I would rather encourage than discourage...
