Would you mind talking about your strategy a little bit? I see a lot of lines, which ones are you mostly basing trades off of?

You are correct, but they don't offer a bracketing feature for the free version. My mistake.

I was one of the lucky few that got plowed by this outage. I was only trading 1 contract, and it was only a few points, but it was still frustrating. The biggest bother is that I called my broker and...

I agree, context is pretty important. ABC's are nothing new, but they are easily the most reliable indicator of direction I have seen. They are also easy to spot and I can't imagine entering the...

Beautiful trend day, wish I held for the gold. Gap up, open right above resistance, early 1-2-3 to get the day going. All signs pointed long this morning.


Oh and I am trading from a netbook this...

Looks like we trade similarly, but my trailing isn't as aggressive.

There are worst things than a 1.5 point loss on the ES. Lunch time drift always gets the best of us though. How do you manage your exits cpi65? Bravo for posting in real time, something that 90% of...

We think alike.. 2 trades for me, 2 break evens. But after last Friday's 35 point range, I can understand a choppy day like today. Price is just hanging out by its midpoint. I am still going to watch...

Funny you ask, I was just going over my trade management rules. To summarize I am looking to be taken out on trailing stops around the next support or resistance level. Exits are tricky though, and...

Anyone catch this? My S/R was drawn too far away for me to jump in. Pattern was classic though.. I drew the brown after the move. Lots of cancelled trades for me today lol.

Today was utterly fantastic for those who trade 1-2-3's and support and resistance. Pretty much every move started with a 1-2-3 at a predictable s/r zone. I unfortunately didn't take that middle move...

Getting slapped around these past two days, but this is again me being impatient and not following my rules. A small loss that should have been a huge win.

The issue with higher time frames is risk and entry. On the lower time frames, it is easier for me to spot the patterns developing. I take the most clear cut ones as well. This issue could be avoided...

I agree, 1-2-3's are great. I ended up getting burned on one a bit later so overall I am BE for the day. I think the 1 minute is good for the NQ. It can be a bit noisy, so you just trade the really...

I think trading the 1-2-3 reversal itself rather than waiting for the hook is the way to go. 1-2-3's at hand drawn areas of support and resistance make for some nice entries. Put the order on, wait 5...
