Anybody Else Use This?

ive been trading with a 5min chart with the major indices on another 5 minutes chart...

before trading my strategy i make sure that i only trade with the market. if its up or green candle i will go long

major indices showing me red i go short

so anyways.. ive noticed the major indices seem to have major effect on practically every stock. does anybody else use the major indices as a major indicator?

 

That is a really good idea.

 

well it has been working for me i dont know why i dont hear about it here on ET

 

hey antincedo,

I don't want to break this to you, but we all

do this.

Good luck on your next one.

LOL well i guess i figured it couldnt have been too much of a secret. how much do you base your entry/exit on the indices though?

 

antincedo,

Don't change anything there.

Always keep that one on your screen.

antincedo,

the same way, just like your doing.

indices showing sell, you go short etc.

It is one of your Major Indicator!!!! (or it should be)

Base your entry/exit on it.

thanx for the confirmation

 

antincedo,

Same thing with the Dow.

If you know where the Dow is going

you'll know where everything is going!

The World that is. (Up Side or Down)

(easy game when you get it) you will.
You came up with the first thing you need know when trading.

 

Thats the right way to be ready to trade--know the direction and then you work on tweaking your entries and exits.

good luck bro.
