I am horrible in trading uptrends. I got no problems trading TRs, Downtrends, trend reversals but uptrends make me lose money most of the time. So I want to exercise on it. Is there a sim trading plattform that let's you exactly do that, with a filter? Sure, there is trading sim and amibroker and replay features in plattforms like Sierra and TW, but none of them have a filter. Going back in time to find uptrends to exercise on is a bad idea since you have to look at them and know therefore everything that is going to happen. Or should I just pay an Indian and let him look for uptrends in an instrument and tell me the dates where they happen?
Download price data from Yahoo finance, go into Excel and filter for days with the largest range between open/close. No need to pay anyone.
Who care about going with the trend. Just wait for the downtrend to buy or the uptrend to sell. Here i know what i am talking about just bought at the very low.
%% a]MOST likely a sim will not help you; study uptrends a lot, then some more , if you want to trade them. z]Another way to do it study the bear funds\ not many @ all + they dont do to well for long , so could study those + dont do it like they do since they dont do very well well for long . Another key= measure a lot= dont blame uptrends for you losing money; IF i only traded intraday i would not do many uptrends, so each to his or her own. I like a 50dma + 200 filter for downtrends \ reversals, dont know if that helps you on any uptrendsLOL A bull elephant can get up quick/ Goliath of Gath , not so much LOL My comments dont apply to single stocks- long or short[inverse].
1. Label the charts like uptrend downtrend TR small range wide range choppy / spiky etc Then hide the label 2. Everyday, randomly choose a few charts. Then do DEMO trading using PLAYBACK function on the charting software. 3. Then do Performance Review
%% Good plan, sideways trend = TR, same thing; reading+ study helps a lot. NOT that gasoline trends like SPY/QQQ they sure do not trend the same. No wonder, oil + gas has no earnings. Stock Traders Almanac helps a lot, SPY stuff like UP Jan = 88% up year . IBD Books may help a lot, especially with a king David reader Of course when that JAN pattern fails\ can fail big time like 1987+ 2009. Uptrends tend to pile on profits much different from shorts or inverse trends .
