I do that all the time. I use real time on my computer and then place my trades with a broker who uses delayed data on my phone. 100% win rate, baby!
So this is your thoughts of who you are? Cause "we" are not entire entity. I get up every morning and I am system developer and business owner dealing with financial markets. Computers stay on to watch automation that those apps in cities where the exchanges are located. I watch markets maybe 2-3 times a month and only all day when I am trading 2 lots to check if signals perform real time before coding for automation. Backtesting is never enough or true. Life is a gamble. I don't drink espresso in the states, only regular coffee whether Starbucks or McDonalds(before 10:30am). I lost the emotional highs/lows back in the 90s, it simple the same job, I enjoy the system development much more. I never enjoyed the actual trading, plus I couldn't trade 24 hours a day too often. Most there is frustration of not clearly understanding whatever I been working on which has been physics and cycles of late. Math skills are tarnished a bit. It's funny, once you learn how to stop losing so often, you question yourself why it took so long. I avoid anyone taking my picture, let alone be on some video.
I was wondering what you were seeing. So although the definition doesn't explicitly say it has to be 1 day, your IR is more than 3 weeks long. That is a Continent Reversal, not an island... " The trading activity may last for only a single day or a couple of days. When this arrangement occurs for only a single day, it is known as "one day reversal"." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_reversal I wouldn't call 17 days a couple of days though... Your posted picture is more likely a dwarf's face with a hat. Edit: We have just dropped so looking for a downgap at the open, making it a BEARISH possible island reversal, with yesterday's (or the day's before) upgap. It is happening after a decent run up, otherwise known as top....
Here is a classic IR from 6 days ago. Although this 10 days chart is full of gaps, this one is the most classic, except it didn't happen at a bottom. Nevertheless we rallied from there... There is another one at the 2660 level, but that is 6 days wide, and not so symmetric...
Hey B, IR`s / Island Reversals are just that... a reversal of trend that leaves an Island in it`s wake after two successive gaps. There`s only two forms & trend has not changed yet.... Bearish.... Bullish...
LMAO... I use finviz to see everything at a glance as I also Swing Trade Commodities, Crude, Gold, Bonds & Index Options & only check in periodically ...I dont really care when I`m on the road to have up to the second quotes.... Unless i`m loaded to the gills in which case I`m always Bid & Offered 0ut way off the current market for significant moves... I think I subconsciously do it intentionally. https://finviz.com/futures.ashx The new Samsung is very dependable... Just have`nt figured out the messaging end of it yet? Any Advice on this newer model? They said it was last years model but I think it may be just a bit older than that?
15 minute charts cannot be used to identify gaps. Gaps are defined by daily charts. What I showed was very definitely an island reversal. Bearish gap followed by bullish gap. The number of days has no consequence.
