Deflect all ya want, are you going to answer your own question by doing stats on a setup that is handed to you on a silver platter or not?
yes, I am going to back test some ideas I have from this thread. I mentioned that already. I will do some testing on hourly charts like you suggested as well, thanks.
Seeing is believing Can you name any setups that you use now in your trading? Not just "strategies" but plain old "set-ups", like the "double Top" which is a type of breakout strategy. Are you looking for continuation strategies or reversal strategies? None of this is subtle. This is basic stuff. A guy can trade well using basic stuff. Keep in mind that dest could do this crap when he was in knickers. When he's talking 'subtle', he might as well be talking about the subtle influences in a passage of Portugese poetry which unless one knows the language in the first place, may sound great, but ...
I am using almost no TA in my trading outside of moving averages. I havn't given them much merit to be honest. You believe successful trading is not possible without implementing basic setups like H&S, flags, etc...?
You and every other trader should use whatever method speaks to you. Fundamental, Artistic, Intuitive, TA, tossing Rune Stones, Astrology, Flip a Coin, Fine by me. I'm not here to convince anybody to change their stripes. As my girl would day, Ain't nobody got time for dat! In the future I'll save a lotta time by asking "How do you feel about TA"? before asking about timeframe when a question pops up. For some reason I was under the mistaken impression that you were using some TA. Whose fault is that? lol. Mine, my bad. As RosAnn RosAnnaDanna would say... Never Mind, lol. Later gator. Sweet -
lol, Ya don't axe, how ya gonna know? How do you feel about Hank and Ashley charts, Overnight? When are you gonna splain how your charts work? When are you gonna start trading intraday man? You talk about waiting til September when some bureaucrat will give the word, or Putin retires to a Hollywood mansion next door to Ukraine Comedy boy, or whatever. Put up a dang Hank and Ashley chart geared for some 10 to 200 minute hold times, trade some micro's, they're a buck, if you like what goes on edge up your position size. C'mon man, you gonna go stale hanging over there on the sideline. Grab a chart. Rock and Roll!
It's not intended to be a complex question. How can I get the answer zg gave in a simple way that also shows I don't give a shit whether the answer is 'I haven't given them much merit", TA sucks, prove to me that TA works, yeah, I like simple TA setup / trigger trading, whatever. Otherwise, ya got the Sweet Brown Lament, lol. Overnight, let me test this out on you. Don't sugarcoat it now. You are always trying not to harsh anybodies sensitivities, but tell me honestly, how's this sound. Hi Mr Trader "Do you give TA much merit?" So, How'd I do. Be honest now...
