uhhh... you really got me with that... ok, use a 5 period and a 20 period moving average and trade the crossovers.. it works, no really... and basically, if you've been trading and found nothing that works, well, thanks for the money!!
I just don't understand...there are hundreds of threads here at Elitetrader.com where traders have detailed in-depth there trade methods along with stating "it works" for them... Hundreds of threads. What's preventing you from reading these threads spread out in trading section, journal section, technical analysis sections of Elitetrader.com ??? Did you try them all an concluded none of them work or you looking for someone to send you a direct link to one of the threads or repost something that's already been posted or post something that's never been posted before. I think you should just ask folks to post a link to their favorite trade method thread here at Elitetrader.com to see if you've missed something in your extensive search to have something handed to you on a silver platter (seriously). With that said, I'll begin via posting one of ET's main search sources of "detailed trade methods" that's recommended by many traders here at ET. Many threads at the below link involves traders sharing freely in-depth details with tons of chart examples and feedback of simple trade methods that supposedly works. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=204669 You're welcome Mark

Trading is a real job just as much as it is for someone else that's self-employed working from home or with a small office in some building. Just like others...most fail in remaining self-employed and forced to get a job working for others. However, trading is probably too easily accessible in comparison to other self-employ professions.
