Tell me. Is it better to go with the herd when the tide is rising or buck the trend thinking that everyone is an idiot? (Somebody other than you seems to think so.) Do you know why 20-/50-period moving averages work so well? It ain't because they contain some voodoo power over price. It's because so many traders follow them. It's effectively a self-fulfilling prophecy of its own.

Now I say this because if you were the only one looking at this newly discovered chart with different ATH to what everyone else is seeing, what is your chance of outcompeting the rest of us? Not that high I would imagine. Just my useless 2-cents.

You do realize I am not the only trader in the world that takes note of continuous contracts correct? How many full time traders do you know that successfully intra-day trade as their main source of income? I know quite a few and a decent amount chart via continuous. Of course some of them don't as well, either way it isn't going to make or break an intra-day traders career. Context and experience to say the obvious is what it takes.

Also, even though I was serious I was also being a little tongue in cheek. Because some people here just throw out levels based upon all types of different things and no one questions it or bats in eye. Just throw a thumbs up and move on. People are just throwing macro levels out there and if it takes 1 month, 6 months or even years to hit people are celebrating.

Again that's totally fine if they want to do that. I only am requesting if they would please stop acting like it makes them some authority in intra-day trading and giving out advice. They are free to ignore my request and continue as they please. It's really no different than if Warren Buffet were to make an account here and start telling people how to intra-day trade on leverage when one of his edges is time (which is the same exact edge most people on here rely on).

That was really my only point and request,

I look at continuous charts all the time.

For that, I only need to look in the mirror. :)

Suppose then I ask that you post your trades from now on (in REAL TIME) like I do. Think you can handle it? No, I didn't think so. And that's okay. But you need to understand this is a public forum and people will continue to do whatever they have always done.

You know what the funny thing is? I've been here since early 2000s and there were those who always heckle me whenever I would post losing trades (although they've never posted a single trade themselves). And yet, after 20 years, most of them are nowehere to be seen. On that note, might I suggest you stick around long enough and you too will prevail. :cool:
