    TA question often asked... "Do trendlines work"?

    Good morning, longandshort, A few comments and questions. Not related to the OP whose posts I disapprove of categorically. I’ve seen you mention hit rate repeatedly through various posts, but with no mention of expected value, so I’m curious if I’m missing something? a) With asymmetric...

    Something new I've been working on

    Subscribed. If I recall correctly, Dustin, you've been trading mostly stocks earlier? Did you move on to futures exclusively or just increasing your portfolio?

    Honestly, not sure what you mean by 'not a high on NQ that normally holds at EOD'. Today, the market broke out on the Open, but was quickly sold back in range, i.e., a failed breakout. After that we settled in a range and NQ could barely nudge above mid range on 4 attempts and nearly made a...

    Very logical and rational. I said we'd close below 70 well in advance and we did. :)

    Just basic daily templates with associated statistics + time of day. Simply put - the odds of an extended move going from the LOD to the HOD in the last 90 minutes are rare. It's been a range bound session after the opening period with not much happening. Like Schizo says, we're going into a...

    A squeeze is unlikely (not impossible) within this day's structure, IMO. More likely with a dump.

    Up side is limited today in my view. Should close below 70. Watching for new lows still, but that recent leg might have been it for today.

    I still think 4550 on ES looks good.

    Need some Help/Advice/Partnering/Coder regarding coding (Ninja C# and/or Tradestation(easy language)

    I went down the co-operation path and wasted nearly a year on that pursuit, so I'd recommend against it. I'm sure it can work if you find the right guy and one that shares your vision (mine did), but you need to make sure you find that. And that could be difficult. I've had success with smaller...

    Sure? Looks like we can hit 4550 today to me. HOD most likely set, IMO. Those fat bulls already started Thanksgiving dinner. :)

    TA question often asked... "Do trendlines work"?

    Exactly. 100 % spot on. The OP comes across as a newbie. First of all, the question asked is "Does trendline work?" My counter-question: "Work for what, exactly?" And if it works for that, how often does it work? And how does it work when it actually works? The OP suggests to 'play it by...

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    I think $35M was his income, not his tax bill. I would also assume that's pre-tax. Capital gains in Sweden is taxed at around 30 % I believe.

    easiest money in my life

    Seconded. I'll admit that I chuckled at the first post or two, but it quickly got old. Additionally, @Baron should consider letting us all know who this sick individual is with way too much time on their hands.

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    Kristjan is a lonely retail trader. Is it that hard to see the need for social engagement trading on his own? Isn't that why we all gravitate to ET? Here's Kritjans tax returns for 2021: De tjänade mest pengar 2021 – Bianca Ingrosso yngst på listan (nyheter24.se) 360 million SEK which is...

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    That's irrelevant to this discussion. But frankly, you know as much about my PnL as I know about yours. Which is zero. I know that because he spelled out his strategy and to my awareness he's been streaming his trading daily for longer periods doing the exact same thing over and over again...

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    You serious? Why should I provide a track record of Quallamaggie's returns? How about you provide the track record of some traders that are audited by Ernst & Young? I’d be surprised if you could. Anyone who’s paid any attention to my posts know that I repeatedly lash out against educators...

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    Good morning, longandshort, How nice of you to step down from your high horse and attempt to educate us common people. Here’s where you’re wrong and miss the mark. 1. Not recognizing the difference between institutional trading and retail trading, nor your audience: The average ET member is...

    You're really starting to sound ridiculous at this point, so don't waste your breath. I bet you're just grumpy that you missed this latest rally in US equities. :)

    How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

    Yes, I see the new standard now is a track recorded audited by Ernst & Young. And if such would be provided, it would probably be explained away as sheer luck or using insane risk anyway. So what's the use? Why should anyone go through that kind of trouble to prove what exactly and to whom...

    This have got to be the most hated rally in a while. I've seen countless people shorting en masse since it has to go down, right? And it has to retrace, right?
