Hey, I'm currently trading the equities method at the intermediate/advanced level. I'm also working my way through the Futures Journal and annotating the ES during the day.

If anyone else, trading on a similar basis, is interested in discussing aspects of the methodology or potential stocks to trade, please send me a Private Message and we can exchange IMs.

That's about the level I'm at, maybe just intermediate. I'm also annotating the ES during the day.

However, IM's and me do not get along. I'd be happy to continue posting here however.

And as a side note, here's the market setup for Monday.... Those thick red lines are looking scary for my 2 equities... LOL.

Edit: Oops, looks like the volume bar for Friday isn't there. Well, that's Quotetracker/IB feed on a Saturday for ya. Anyways, it's lower down volume....

Nice entry point on BONT, you got in where I should have. I was in yesterday around $12.00, but volume just wasn't there and that last fall off and retrace at the end of the day worried me so I exited for a wash. Today, I hesitated getting in wanting to see how pullback volume looked. I ended up getting in around $13, still good money on the day. Still, that extra cushion would be nice going into Monday - I'm somewhat concerned about a gap down with price ending right at the RTL of the down channel.

Cushion is nice.

I stayed in due to the 30 minute. Strong on the close...

Just got in SNHY on Unusual Volume signal. Right now not lookin to good, got in around 32.10. Thoughts, comments. I'm posting my chart. Missed out on FMCN signal cause I was too slow. EXM is lookin great though. According to my analysis SNHY is currently in a dominant up channel. I am looking for increased black volume today. A good question here is did I get in too late and could I have caught that move two days ago when the green bars started.

Looking good so far, eh? Up 3%....

But keep in mind that it's always best if you can get a stock in the bottom 1/3 of its' channel.

Spyder had a comment about this, I believe in Journal 1 about his increased success when he took these trades. I also believe - but not sure - that he said he would take a smaller position or shorter trade duration or something similar to reduce his risk.

Keep up the good work. :cool:

Edit: Also keep note of where the stock began its' run. This appears around 27.50ish.... A 20% run puts it at 33.00, so keep this in mind.
 
I skipped SNHY because it looked like it was too close to the left trend line. Got in FMCN and TGIC on low band dry up signals. Good job on EXM!!

I dumped my shares in SNHY... got too nerve wracking for me when I looked at the daily chart. Didnt like how much the daily had already moved up in the current up channel. Saw minimal upside and maximum downside. But I did pick up two stocks on Unusual Volume signals which i feel might be a little safer for me right now and look to be in good shape channel wise. I got in SSRX at 16.60 and TGIC at 10.35. As I'm writing this looks like SNHY would have hit my stop anyways according to beginner levels. Also since my equity is not too high right now the SSRX and TGIC plays look safer and more affordable at the state Im in right now. Posted my charts. Look forward to hearing from everyone. In my SSRX chart, I feel that it could go either way meaning we could see increasing black volume today which would be good or it could be increasing red volume following the current decr red volume and confirming an BO after the labeled FTT. in which case I would likely get out.

TGIC looks pretty good right now and I'm up nicely. Also looking for increased black volume on this one confirming a traverse in the current blue up channel.

What the heck, I haven't posted any of my recent trades - mostly shorts. Same applies here as for EXM - thick red may be a problem....

BONT 12.48

Pathetic volume today, looks like it may have problems surpassing Thursday's volume, so I bailed at 14.18. No need to be piggish.

+13.7%
