Three trades this morning..... maybe four if you were ambitious.

I've been wondering about what a reasonable expectation for each trade might be point wise. Since you never know how far the market will move I've adopted more of a scalper mentality.

Working on ZN. Combining the "All you Need" approach to the ZN. I believe that Sharky was right about the 4 range bar being a good trading chart..... I use the 6 range bar for an anchor. You can see some "questionable" entries that ended up ok (luck not skill)then I believed Sharky! Switched back to the 4 range bar chart.

Just going for the Sharky scalps. 3 tick target 5 tick stop.

Well, I'm pretty excited about the new paintbar study!!

Check it out......this is the new Sharky proto type..... (it's not ready for release yet) this is the HMA 8 with the angle tweaked to 20/50.

It's like the "Mens Warehouse".... Your gonna like the way you look..

Thanks Sharky !!!

Good trading all, Jeff

Hey Jeff,
I noticed some of you charts the indicators are not listed on the top of
the chart. How do you do this to give you a cleaner looking chart? Also
since you went to DTI do you ever use roadmap? I use the entry and exit
targets also as pivots. If it wasn't for one today I almost went short and
would of taken a loss. Not a great day for me couple of trades one being
a scratch. Walked away and that was when the run up took place. Oh
well live to fight another day. Keep us up to date on the new Sharky proto
type.

Yes Skid,

I like my charts super clean. I always trade with the Labels off. I did post one chart with them up but that was for the benefit of others so they could see the settings.

You'll notice on the latest version of the "All you Need" template I'm down to one "squiggly" line ... the 50 EMA. The 14 HMA is now gone however the information it had contained is imbedded in the paintbar study. Killing two birds with one stone. The swing high/low information is now displayed in the zig zag utc form because I like the dots better. Clean, clean, clean.

No I don't use the road map any more. I like the charting on Ninja. Plus with Ninja I have a lifetime license and when there is an update I get it for free !! With DTI I'd have to fork up more money......not again.

I don't know if you've noticed but Tom Busby trades a bit like TRO. Real horizontal, support/resistance, no indicators, a lot of "box" breakout trades.

I don't know when Sharky is planning to release the new Paintbar studies. He just wants to make sure it's good so there aren't a lot of bogus versions of it out there.

I caught a few trades today. My main focus was ZN and that worked out pretty well for a new market to trade.

Jeff, did you program this or is this part a Sharkys? As far as DTI I have the old
version from two years ago. I turn it on at cash open use constantlines in Ninja
for the imputs and then close roadmap. I think roadmap is basically an ATR of the
past 5 days divided by 3. The markets seem to respect these places as well as
pivots.

Hey Milford,

There's only three things on the chart.... a 50 EMA...the zig-zag.... and the HMA_Paint.

The HMA Paint is a Sharky proto-type that he is not ready to release yet so.....it's up to him not me.
