MAYBE you like a 1 minute chart?? Fine by me. SEC may like the frequent fees/ so fine by me.
We don't want all trying to do the same thing anyway= mess. Good bear rally easymon1.

Your posts warrant consideration by traders and like all of us ET posters, the nubes are strongly advised to consider your sources, do your own stats, take what you need and bring back something of value when you can.

Actually that's a 10m CL oil chart. That's a 200MA so it reminded me of muray t turtle, the 200 guy. That ain't no bear in that timeframe, lol One nice long ride and done.

Same thing for the 5m HG chart that follows it right here. One and done.

Where's all the mess? Where's all the noise? Where's all the fees?
Methinks some of it may be in your head?

these indicators are used both for long term and short term trading.
in day trading i notice when using a stochastic or any other moving average i notice that the lines dip and rise above and below a negative positive line or when they crossover they tend to pull back and then do down again. then when the chart moves over to the next time frame they tend to "crack" and then solidify again.
my question is when do you act apon these indicators? when they make the formation you are looking for in a setup and then retract? when would you get in?
sometimes they look like a hair flying in the wind. there is no actual breakout.
if you look at past short term charts they are already formed out and look like great indicators.
i find them very hard to time.
any similar experiences and thoughts from traders would be appreciated.

I used to have lots of indicators as I was taught by
my trading coaches who were unsuccessful traders.
also, I learned about the indicators through trading books.


It took me many many years to delete those indicators.
I have been trading without indicators for 2 decades.


I am sure traders will insist and persist to use indicators.
They will continue to look for the ultimate magical miracle indicators.

Good luck and happy hunting !!!!


you can consider using this miracle indicator :

Same here; except 20 years maybe not enough data for me; some times it is .
Except even some indicators like 200dma or subjective patterns\/ like the old ''rabbit ears'' on old TV can be a good indicator??LOL:D:D The ears were a bout 3 feet long + rabbit head about 3 inches, E mon1:caution:
