    same confirmation rules like last week.

  2. TT 9:45 did not get confirmation from CCI.
    TT 10:25 was on time,closed above MA's within 5 min and divergence was complete within 8 min. Not much action after that.

  3. 12:05 est had confirmation by CCI but it took too long to close below 21MA. If you use 8MA only it would be a good short entry.

    one TT popped up for some of you who trade last hour. 15:30est.

  4. From 12:05 to 15:30 would be nice but if someone tried to enter at 15:30 it would be too late . in a day to achieve anything.\

  5. Trading Times for Tuesday are 9:35, 9:50, 10:25 and 11:25est .
    Thanks,

  6. I have received an email where was suggested that breaks of a trendline to be used for entries based on Trading Times. I would like to know what are your thoughts on that.
    I will open Yahoo group on Friday and will send info to each of you who expressed an interest in joining by Thursday.
    Thanks,

  7. I just want to stress an importance of looking at 5 min charts first for a TT confirmation by CCI, then go to 1 min chart to pinpoint entry. If you did that you should be long by 9:40est. If you went by 1min charts only you might be inclined to go short at 9:34est . you MUST wait for a CCI divergence AFTER Trading Time!!.
    I am working on new , improved , confirmation method for TT , I will make it available for discussion or improvements to a members of a TT group .

  8. 10:25est was a good TT . CCI Divergence was completed by 10:35 .
    Walter
     
  9. If..."you MUST wait for a CCI divergence AFTER Trading Time!!." then why not just watch for the divergence on the 5 min chart? Please see chart: (5 min with 20 Period CCI)

     
  10. Sure you can do it, to sit at the computer all the time wondering , is this the time when CCI divergence is coming or not ? With TT you do not have to do it. You can a have a life and trade too. If you have noticed on most days you can trade only till 1:00pm est and be done for a rest of the day. You do not have to wait for a CCI divergence( 20 period CCI signal gets little bit too late for intraday trading IMO), you can use any indicator or method you feel comfortable with .
    I use this CCI and MA simple entry system just to demonstrate usefulness of Trading Times for a simple entry method .
    I have much better method and other traders have it also, but this simple method is available on every charting package .

    11:25 was a good TT if you waited for a confirmation by CCI you got in at the top. And that is a purpose of TT, to make it easy on ourselfs
    I appreciate you comments, I am glad that someone is watching TT.
    Thanks,
    Walter
