Sorry, DH. I must be the offender. I know what you are referring to when a thread page becomes unwieldy due to a chart illustration posted. I always have to downsize the file I use to prevent this. It ends up working fine for my monitor. I thought the charts posted were ok. I'm glad you said something. Perhaps my monitor resolution is set in a manner that for me appears to not disturb a thread page. I just checked and see my charts posted are over 1,000 pixels. Ok....800 pixels max. BTW....your charts look so crisp. When I downsize mine before posting, they lose crispness. I fear they will lose more by going to 800 pixels. I use IRFAN View. I may have to shop for other freeware.
This is why I scraped off half the gains mid-session today by cutting half the stock positions. The trade from Aug 1 appeared to have reached its max potential looking at the 6 month chart. However, all other charts of varying time periods indicated only half the potential was realized. Some were longer than the 6 month chart, and some were shorter than the 6 month chart. When charts give me a mixed signal between them, I either totally bail or scale out of the trade. DH...does the chart fit the thread page without problem ? I used 800 pixels. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3599874>
i've heard that time frames are important.. diverging and converging correlation.. etc.. i guess theres a way to track it on Think or swim..
Looks fine to me And thanks for that - was just a friendly note, didn't mean to make you paranoid. Not sure about the crispness issue, re, downsizing etc - one thing I've observed is that saving as png can often preserve the fidelity better than jpg, as from what I understand one is vectors and the other pixels (with pixels more suitable for paragraphs).
Well SOMEONE must believe in this Head & Shoulders (reference my post yesterday 08-14-12 at 02:48 PM asking if a Head & Shoulders formation on a 10-Yr chart has significance). A report today states a very bearish trader just put on an extraordinary heavy PUT position on HOT (Starwood)....which is a holding co. for various hotel chains. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bearish-trader-checks-starwood-160736212.html btw..... Since halving my position yesterday on my pair, HOT short / HST long, today through the session with 90 min remaining, HOT has had more strength upward in price than my HST, but the now weakened pair trade position is still in the neighborhood of its best position established yesterday. (Quite the run-on sentence.) <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3600536>
