  1. facebook ipo came at the worst possible time
    here is the spx..1o min data
    the downtrend from 1 st may
    note that it is in 2 waves
    the first was a sudden move
    the second is more prolonged and will have to take out that downtrend line with a res area of 1307 ish.if price goes down,so does the res area

  6. hey dentist, what is the point of all this in terms of making actual money. What about entries exits stops and probabilities? How do you make money by what you're doing here??

  7. hi Chikitout
    ok.i am posting charts to basically show what to look for with p/f charts.the thread is learning to read price action
    so...entries
    i usually trade from 1 minute data looking for breakout points
    i then look for areas at the opposite side of the breakout to try and enter.to try and keep my stop as tight as possible..if not,i have to enter on the p/f signal
    that is it...no more to tell
    probabilities...well this is more dependent on market mood...certain days give me good follow thru and some days are not great
    the %win is >90%...but that does not mean to say that you make plenty on each trade...some only get a few points,and many have good follow thru

  9. actually...checked back
    last 6 months 80% plus
    not 90% as i thought
    but...you have to think about the fear and greed factor and this can give you many more points sometimes.so there are alot of factors to consider
    it is not a system,just a method of charting data
