Sorry this stuff is so unappealing to you. It is like studying five serial math courses. So far we have put two of the five on the table. We are admirers of Don's 4 week boot camp. So far we just do 4 day meetings every few months. And we are just getting to the conveniences that professional have.
Well I suppose it's better than having your girlfriend do all the work and living off her.. eh Jack? But you keep playing those trading contests and posting losses with play money.. hysterical
You are still looking at the past and trading off the past. I laugh when I see your Qcharts jpegs. You think their cash quote is giving you some sort of indication of anything? Try leaning how it is made and where it comes from. Unless in changed in the last year or so you are looking at the past. By the way when I started look at Prem - it was 1996. It was not just recently. And if you act like you were some big trader back then. Why don't you tell who your quote provider was back then and how you were getting the data? Because if you were getting real time quotes on the Prem off the floor before 1996 I am sure I know people who know you.
I just joined this forum, but hv been trading for the last 16 years - I firmly believe 'trends' in the market are valuable, identifiable when you know what to look for, and they do work. I know this first hand - every other fundamental analysis/news/expected profit/loss etc., is factored into the price. So what else do you have, except following trends with an oscillator (I only use one, known as the trend index) to confirm your buys... with this attitude/discipline, I have steadfastly built up a considerable 7 figure portfolio - I think the art is in 'patience', finding the right stocks, and not overtrading/use of excessive margin (this is what I mean by patience). Trendlines are central to my analysis. Make no mistake, they are beautifully simple and overlooked. I found a free charting service which provides both the trend index and dead easy to use trend charts, color coded at clickcharts DOT com - enjoy!
High probability counter trend trade. Follow the red balls starting at pivot F2 for classic Andrews five pivot pattern. F2 failure to reach lower purple MLH buy 1st orange bar breakout over upper purple MLH, PT: probable 5 pivot at confluence of of green A/R and dashed red S/R lines. Look ma, no lagging indicators!
