Yeah I'm just getting started on understanding how/where to draw trendlines, no argument there, I can tell already that will take the most...
Ah okay, this idea that enough people figuring it out will invalidate it. Makes sense.
Thanks Kaizer! Here's some concrete questions. 1. My system in a nutshell: I watch EMA crossover first, soon as it crosses over, I wait for a...
Thanks Formika, and I appreciate all your tips so far! I'm envisioning a mix of swing and day trading. My real job is flexible enough that I...
Yeah I hear you, I'm doing all this on a clunky old laptop setup too with an unreliable touchpad. The faster Dell desktop with a proper mouse and...
Great way to think about it. I also haven't tried 2-min timeframe once so I'll give that a try, might be a nice balance. The 5 min is too sedate...
That's really helpful, thank you! I'm 100% locked in analysis-paralysis last couple weeks, but I'm still new enough to this that I guess it's...
Another beginner question. I've been backtesting moving average crossovers against lower time frames for daytrading: 5min vs 1 min, also 4hrs vs...

General advice question. I'm still a rookie at Swing Trading and Technical Analysis. I'm trying to get better at integrating market sentiment...
I read his Options for Dummies book, bit over my head as I'm still very new to trading, but it seemed competent and clear.
Love ocular proof, nice phrase! Gonna borrow that. I'll start watching hammers more carefully and go back and reread the sections on them in the...
Great. I'm kinda adding one piece of the puzzle at a time. Pretty happy with my EMA SMA crossover for now, and I'll start adding Hammers into...
Read my mind, thinking I'll get a Dell. I've been doing all this on my macbook and I'm just getting sick of squinting. I'm a bit older to be so...
Hm, I'll give that a try. Right now I'm one chart setup too, hopping back and forth between 1m and 5m also freezes my decision-making. I need a...
Here's the first one from today, 9:20 to 11. Blue line is 50 SMA, White is 200 SMA. Not sure how to add pivot points yet, the arrows are just...
