Also had a long setup around 593 which would still be running by now, but just got back to the computer, so this one is also theoretical. But still to call today a bad day would be absolutely shameless.
glad to help - a wee bit of finetuning and you should be able to catch 100 pts a day based on what I've seen of your ability. The main thing is to learn when the big swing is setting up. Instead of waiting for a channel break, try to catch the top and expect the channel to break. I think your technique will get you pretty close to the top so you can surf the big waves. If you are sure of the trend, from what I've seen you should be able to countertrend trade as well, but you'll need the small tick chart because reversals can be swift. Sorry to hear about your dad. My own isn't in great health either so I know something of the distractions and emotions. Anyway, that's my good deed for the day. Great thread and if I can help PM me.
yoohoo: thanks a lot for all this help and supportive words. Dad is waiting to be hospitalized for surgery cause of cancer issue and pretty depressed so needs a lot of support now. But I hope he and your father as well will go OK through this tough period of life! If you don't mind I'll ask you some questions when they formulate in my mind (absorbing initial info takes some time to transform in a new trading idea to question and discuss)... Good trading!
