    You do know there is a difference though between OR levels and volatility levels though. I don't want people to get those confused.

  2. People can always ask questions for clarification. Hopefully other traders except few who participate will start posting charts, set ups etc..

    They never do when they are confused.

  4. LOL. I am trying to be as clear as i can. Pre open chart with levels, intra day and end of the day.

    I guess there is a reason confused people mostly stay confused. But I hear you, will try harder.

  5. Mav,

    I am trying to look at things on more of a relative basis since you recommend this, and also remember you saying something regarding intraday equities awhile back when I asked about product selection.

    Earlier you said that I should be looking for stocks forming A ups, when the market is potentially bottoming (& vice versa.)

    So what have been trying to do is look for weekly A ups on a daily chart, and when the market is down intrday, look for stocks that have good intraday relative strength vs the SPY, antcipating that a reversion in market (which seems to be common with the SPY) might lead to a decent run, or at least potentially an entry with less risk in that particular equity..

    (and vice versa for short candidates)

    Is this what you meant?

    I did my first ACD live trade today with NFLX based on the above, (and I havent read this thread in a few days so proud to say caught it on my own :D ) and it turned out well. Only bad news is that when it stalled out, and I got nervous and I took profits, and left alot of profit on the table.

    John, are you not trading much forex anymore? I was watching the "money in motion" show on CNBC and was wondering why you hadn't mentionEd any Franc or Ruble trades lately :)

  7. The way I trade the pair had already moved too far away. If had not been on duty, I would have bagged another 90 pips or so, I suppose. I don't torment myself with what might have been anymore.

    Shan, I mention the overnight action in the Aussie and the Euro every day. But no, not trading FX right now. Putting a lot of work in my top secret project. It's coming together nicely.
