Also 1 thing you did not mention is notice the LH ZigZag swing on your chart just before the one where you went long

Charles

True! Yes - this LH makes the stoch divergence a requirement - perfect. Thanks for pointing that out - very helpful.

Surly-

I believe awhile back Charles posted that he does not like to trade within 15 minutes of the NYSE open at 8:30CST.
Things get squirrely as the big boys try to bet on the open. Kinda of like a number being released.


Exactly - the main reason you dont trade 15 minutes either side of the U S open is the amount of traders that trade from the golf course, to be humurous.

you have traders calling their broker and telling them to buy/sell the open which causes in some cases violent price action as those orders are being filled

Not only that but we can clearly see we were within a triangle formation. You can draw a falling trend line on the high of the previous peaks so again it is like going long into resistance. The positive aspect is that you were able to identify the perfect entry for a short, just kidding ;-)

if there is enough interest I am willing to hold an online Skype conference with any of you concerning my method and how i trade it.

On another note.... this thread looks like it will be one of the good ones. But like all good threads, it will develop a lot of the dreaded "thread bloat." Particularly with us posting about general pa during the day. It would be cool if a few of us that are learning to trade this chatted on skype throughout the day, or posted general comments in another thread so this one didn't get so bloated.

Got me for 3 tics.

I think it is not the correct long set up because 377 has a LH prior to LL .I am not sure. What do you say

masood, a double bottom will always manifest with a LH as how can you get a double bottom without it. But the divergence is present so it is a valid setup.

Could be interesting even chatting via the Skype message window could be easily done.
