Darc, For a buy or sell to enter, after which candle in these charts, do you like better than all the rest? Even in hindsight, which one would you like to be in that market after that particular candle prints? Why? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/question-about-moving-averages.369498/page-9#post-5672473
WTF are you talking about lol? I have a tv. Dude I’m not a professional trader I don’t need CNBC. On the same screen as my charts so I can react in a split second lol
I enjoy it. Do your tv sets have any of the following ports? https://www.tomsguide.com/features/...-those-hdmi-usb-and-other-connections-are-for TV ports explained: What all those HDMI, USB and other connections are for? https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/charts-for-no-reason.344272/page-34#post-5672963 Hell, he left this one out, damn Tom, don't forget old school, lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector I use one of these if me and my laptop are gonna be within 6 or 8 feet of a bigscreen, if more I use a 20 foot hdmi cable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI Overnight and other ETers I suppose speak of methods to throw a signal between smartTV's computers (and tablets) over the air. Keeping to oldschool hardwired for trading over here, works fine. Leave long ass network cables on where ya use em and grab one when you are nearby, plug and earn. Looks like micro would work with a phone or a tablet? Somebody chime in who gives a crap, don't mean nothing to me.
I don’t have a need for that stuff, I can easily view what I need to view on a chart, in my iPad or laptop. so in short, referring to the Tom Petty video, “It ain’t nothin to me” either
From your behavior, you demonstrate that you are in your comfort zone with your P/L trading yield. Some of us like to improve and are open to feedback in the form of progress toward improving often measured in the trading game on the old weekly and monthly P/L curve slope. You like the way yours looks, fine by me. Somma you other guys may have some info for us about how you like to configure your workspaces. I find that seating has evolved since the advent of large screen displays... for example the last few pages of this most excellent thread linked below show a consideration for effective action while viewing both nearby operational and trade front end business on a laptop or pad device while more space is provided for by the further away and much larger dimensions provided for by large and huge screen formats readily available to consumers today. With such a setup, it's easy to have preconfigured sets of 'chartbooks', or tabs, or whatever your platform provides for and designates them as, along with a trader's bookmarks, trading plan, watch lists, news feeds, ET screen, news sports weather, music, exercise vids, you get the idea, limited by only a traders' display screen availability, their mental processing bandwidth, attention span, preconfigured alerts, and whatnot. Like this...on one or several of these spread across your large screens salted around the space. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/...t-right-here-baby.343012/page-30#post-5673044 You can see fine how to trade from there, but if not ya could pull the charbook up on a nearby screen and work it just like a deskbound trade. Have it your way. It's nice to be on a slower chart say 5 or 10 minute chart and after a candle prints and no further action is called for and the trolls are more boring than usual over in the politics cesspool and maybe your setup of interest that day could not possibly trigger on the next bar either at the next bar print, well you got 10 or 20 minutes to rest and refresh, so step over to the kitchen and grab a stretch, hang out hit the patio for a few minutes of sunshine and boids choipin, eat an apple, pee on a bush if ya in the country, you get the idea. For this brand of trading away from the 8:00AM to 10:30 zone and no expected news announcements to crank up a 1minute or a 30second chart for, then a more relaxed bigger picture view can be just the thing for those afternoon sessions to keep the game fresh. The chairs? Oh yeah, here we go... Say hello to miss thang... https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/trading-chairs.226092/page-25#post-5623436
I’m very chill about this whole thing. If I trade a bunch I’d obviously like to make some money. If I just make a few bucks it’s fine by me, I kept busy and it didn’t cost me anything. Half the time when I trade , my setup is my iPad or laptop, CNBC on tv, my bed (instead of a chair, and a tray on the bed, next to me, to put my coffee cup on. Maybe at some point I’ll get more serious. But for now it works. so I think I’ve painted the correct picture to understand me better. I’m chill.
%% Good charts; DIA looks like the weakest on your charts. Not a prediction; but SDOW did trend better early this month................
Best part is you have a good sense of humor and lotsa gristle underneath. Your questions and chill way makes it easy for all to toss in our two cents and keep things rolling. We all owe you a beer, so that's quite a few beers. Salud!
