Quote from alero546:

I'm a vol/MA, stoch always confuse me.

I guess it took me about 30,000 + hours of screen time to figure it out. But The toughest one was the stochastics~ beleve it or not. it works along the same lines as the moving averages. In my veiw once the moving averages cross to the downside the stochastics start functioning differantly. because the biase has turned bearish. When the Biase is bearish you shouldnt use the oversold feature on the stochastic. you only use the overbaught feature. ( meaning at any pullbacks you waight for the stochastics to cross in the 80 or above zone.

With stochastics I can't help but say "It should do so and so" with vol and MA I just look for confirmation, so yes in this case it also "should" but hopefully the favor is on my side...if i'm wrong i'm wrong...i'll look for another confirmation...

long 29, getting in a little earlier than my signal, but volume looks promising...we'll see...stop near LOD.

low holding, but barefuly, seems like name of the game today sell every and all rallies...will take a big institutional buyer to change things today...

It takes an enormous amount of effort on our part as traders to fully understand how these indicators really work. Just because you read a book on these products doesn't make it so.

stopped out for +5 on the trailing stop.... damn, they just got me... trailing exits have not been doing well lately... Have to follow the plan.. but frustrating at times.
