Dear dbphoenix, are the investing.com charts the very ones you trade from, or are you using them for illustrative purposes here, but you trade...
No charts necessary today, as I had one trade, it was a chase scene, and it ended badly. I was trading on a different computer today, and dummy...
I'm sorry, dbphoenix, as I was unclear in what I wrote. I meant that had I waited to exit at the break of the intraday trendline at that time, it...
Well, to be fair, marketsurfer, you perhaps undeservedly confer your PD's with a bit too much "edge" over TA. After all, your PD's were calling...
A call is a call, blotter or not, and right now marketsurfer's call is perfoming very well. Whether he traded it or not, paper or not, can't...
Hi HopelessTrader, About half of my trading is intraday, and half is swing trading positions, with hold times from a few days to eight weeks or...

Thank you for the question, dbphoenix. By "technical analysis," I, myself, am referring to the analysis of price as recorded on charts or...
First trade: Long SDS at $40.80 based on the SPX breaking its November 2012 - May 2013 trendline.
I've been reading a few journals here at ET with interest. Inspired by the technical analysis debate in a couple of them, and even more so by...
Hi there Rearden Metal, Thank you for this journal. I've been following a couple of others recently, and while both of more posts and more...
Thank you for taking th time to reply. Best to you trading!
Hi there, Marketsurfer, I've been reading your debates here, but I have not been able to read your thread in its entirety, so forgive me if you...
You have the words, but the music and poetry are missing. I am sure you are likely referring to Livermore's admonition that the sitting made him...
