ok, what trading range indicators?

ps Cathy, aren't you a Miller disciple? I believe I recall you stated sometime ago that his methods were great. What gives? Doesn't Miller work anymore?

Bollinger bands, pivot points, candlestick reversal patterns are trading range indicators.

No system works every single day. That is a given that one will have drawdowns at some point. Yes, I follow Don Miller, Jea Yu, Chimpanzee charts and Steve Nison. But mostly I follow my own instincts.

Miller has had 2 bad days too.

Ok, but how do you pick the "correct" method for that day or this market? I'm curious as to how you will know when to begin using Miller again for instance?

Why are you confident that your method or "instinct" will avoid drawdowns in this market?

No, I expect sometimes I will lose. But more times I will win.
That is how this game is played.

BOBCATHY1...... fortuneately "instincts" are still necessary in the trading game...... otherwise computerized trading programs would overrun all of us and rule the trading world.

THE CHIMP IS BACK......

Made two great trades today with it on ES...one gained 2 points and the other gained 4. Followed perfect strategy.

I am trying to cut my trading down to 4 or less trades a day. Ride the trends a little longer. Did a lot of backtesting to get to this. The past few weeks were rough. Trying all kinds of methods.

Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way!
