  3. Potential long set-up. Thinking about taking this trade. Price needs to g below 55.5 and has to be a down bar.

  4. Here is a trade that became a loss of 0.5 instead of profit of 9.5 due to a trailing stop. I am seriously considering getting rid of the trailing stop or use trailing stop only when the stop is above our entry price.

    Who is your broker?
    The reason I ask is if it's IB you can download a program called bracket trader that will set your stops, target and move stop to breakeven when it hits a certain level. Nice easy interface.

  7. Down 200 today.

    I need to look at NYSE and Nasdq TRIN in the future.

    The set-up works but need to be modified for range days and down days.....

    I am going to just watch the market for few days and see if I can find ways to use the TRIN.

    Trying to implement TRIN so just trading 1 contract to test.

    Edit
    Order is still there,
    Stop at 68

    Edit.

    Cancel order if price makes a new high. Price approaching highs and TRIN above 1.

    Why the fixation on the TRIN?

    The heading is Trading NQ using PA only.
    The NQ follows the Nasdaq 100.
    The TRIN follows all stocks on the Nasdaq.
