    No good. Original call was right.

  2. Signal at 12:55. For anybody out there. There was a signal that predicted the run down which is now around 3 points. I had to leave for a while and did not post it or take it myself. It was also confirmed by my additional filter.

    Hope somebody got it.

    Produced 5 points in a short time. Dang.

  3. I think the few who stop by here have the hang of what I am doing. I am going to stop posting charts for every trade at this point. If I enter a trade based on something unusual or a longer signal, I will be sure to include a chart.

    Also, if anybody needs to see a chart for something I will be glad to accomodate.


    Here's the last siganal that caught the move. Additonally, I had a very strong sell signal on my filter.

    This should have hit us right in the face. Just my luck I wasn't here.

    Thanks,

  5. SL 995.25

    If I get a buy signal, I will get out with a small gain and reverse direction. I got some mixed signals after my entry.

    Got out at +1. Good byy signal developing.

  6. VisionTrader,
    The reason I asked for the time of day that you take the trades is that your posts are time stamped several hours later. For example, your Good Morning Vietnam post today is time stamped for just before 1pm this afternoon. But I DO understand your time constraints. I've tried trading this system while trying to help someone else, and it kept costing me missed trades.

    You asked me if I could confirm if the real settings are taken to one ten thousanths, etc. I don't know. And sorry, I thought you knew more about the TIMES course than you were letting on - I guess you don't. They teach you the method, but they don't give you the settings. Instead, they have you sign up with a special brokerage/data provider called FutureSource, where, for an extra fee, they already have the indicators set up.

    I'm a TradeStation follower through and through, so I did not want to change my data and broker for the sake of the TIMES indicator settings, but they would not give me the TS settings.

    Your newest chart looks virtually identical to the TIMES chart - way to go ! I would love to get the settings from you, if you wouldn't mind, as it looks much smoother than my attempt, and I would feel a bit better about having spent the money for the course if I was using more correct settings. If you want to PM me, I'd appreciate it: rgcarpenter@yahoo.com

    (And thanks, "Nkhoi" for posting the TIMES chart.)

    Thanks,
    Rick

  8. My guess is your setting are wrong in your options. My post show the correct time. Check you settings. They should be set to your own time zone.

    We can talk more about the other in a while. Too busy right now.

  9. You're right, thanks. I don't spend enough time here to know these things.

  10. Sorry. Have been been away for a while. There was a sell signal generated at 15:04. Was not able to take it though.

    Unbelievable. Only me. Hope someone got this. I have missed two of these nice signals now. It does pay to sit and watch!
