    That wasn't rude, we're all grown ups here (I assume) What does help, in your opinion?

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    OK so the gap is coincidental, it's just that it's not the first time you have mentioned gaps. What is important here is the change in trend after selling was exhausted, paying attention to the volume and price would have got me into the trend early.

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    Why did you choose a stock which had gapped? I know I took a trade in this stock but it seems you noticed the gap and decided it would be a good example for what you are showing me. Are gaps a requirement for these trades?

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    But this begs the questions, what frequency MA? I could cover my chart in so many different MA's that I can't see the background anymore, if I was avoiding MA's I wouldn't be able to enter a trade anywhere. Probably goes to show how meaningless they are. Then again not all MA's are created...

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    When I described my approach in a previous post without mentioning the MA's you seemed think it was sound in theory. I can and have traded it with and without the MA's, without the MA's is pretty much the method Marc Rivalland describes in his book, but I thought they can't hurt so I leave them...

    But I don't know that's he's profitable. Same as I don't know any of you are profitable but this exchange has still been very thought provoking. I just don't think I could come around to his way thinking anyway. He told me a story where he heard some of the guys who supply Apple with paint...

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    Combination of morbid fascination and second income. I would love to pack in this full-time employee stuff and work on a contract basis, having some extra income would make that an easier step to make. I haven't forgotten your post re MA's, targets and mean regression.

    Agreed. As far as his trading goes he might as well be one of you anonymous strangers out there, I was just struck how he thought my more systematic approach was naive.

    Mechanical versus discretionary swing trading

    I don't want to get too sidetracked, but no I don't even look at charts at work, neither does my colleague as far as I know, that's my point. I don't know the dude well enough to suggest he invites me round to his home to show me how he trades. Might be an English thing (although he's actually...
