Man I wish I could maxinger. But I don't even know where I'd start. I have no foundation. I get feelings about the markets on certain days, which I sometimes post, but other than that I just wouldn't have a clue how to day trade. And there is so much contradictory stuff on here it does not help LOL.
It's a dead cat. Profits from a bounce are the same color as profits from a drop. Purchasing power of the profits however, are not the same.
I started day trading way before computers were available for home use. In short, what do day traders focus on? just past few minutes to a few hours ago only. Have a good overall / macro view. But you must remember; you have to sweat blood to be a day / night trader.
You obviously use medium/long term analysis. You are a swing trader or an investor. What is the problem? YOUR methods, YOUR rules. Expecting consistent and immediate gratification using a 200 day analysis is a contradiction.
Smart money says trading range in a descending and expanding channel so we have some time to see the end of the decline but we should rally 5-7 more percent to get more suckers in...
