I am all about hearing more, but I am curious... what do you want to discuss that isn't covered already in Spyder's journal? I wouldn't mind hearing some more targetted discussion on short strategies... especially after last week, ugh.. thoughts?
We have a common interest here. ZZZzzzzzzz recently posted a BA chart. I didn't follow BA at that point but I looked at its daily and 30 minute charts. Following my charts you can read Grob109 (Jack)'s analysis too. I opened a short BA position on 5/16 and closed it next day. See the results. Today I opened a new BA short position. 5 day 30 min chart 10 day 30 min chart 1 mo daily chart New position at today's closing: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1081292>
Wow, nice trade and nice in progress trade on BA. Any one else using Jack's stuff for short setups? I am slowly trying to nail down the charting stuff for both long and short. The Dry Up Calc are a good way to start, but I need to uncover some more opportunities.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I guess the "Trading"'s moderator misread my intentions for opening this thread and relocated it into "Journals". I don't intend to keep a journal here, and I don't even intend to be this thread's main contributor (although if there'll be not enough interest, I might end up so ). My intentions remain those stated in my first post above. yea! Trading: Open discussion on all aspects of day trading and short-term investing. nay! Journals: The place for keeping a daily journal of wins, losses, and anything else related to your quest of becoming a better trader. </font>
Actually this thread, and all threads related to Hershey's strategies (except Spyder's which is specifically a journal incorporating those methods) belong in the Strategy Trading forum. I am relocating this thread there now, sorry for all the jumping around but things should settle there.
Congrats on your success. Appreciate a bit of advise here if you are willing. Thanks 1) Noticed from the charts, that you do not necessarily draw channels which connect the tip of the candles (ie top/bottom of candle). Rather my impression is that you draw the channels which touches the most points (so the channel usually ends up connecting the open/close of candle). 2) In the charts that you attached here, I noticed a downward red channel. Is this channel drawn in only when you notice the FTT occurin?. That means that will be the new channel? TIA
I've seen a lot of posts relating to Jack's strategies for futures and for 6-8 day equities trades, but not much else. Does anyone know if Jack has written much on trading equities intraday? I believe he called this the "drift" period, but haven't been able to find anything more. thanks.
i figured this thread would have gotten more attention.... so bump yo, cmns you cover that BA short... it is looking really good still.. Cheers
