  1. Top pane is "price" and "LR channel"

    Second Pane is my intra-bar "market delta"

    Third Pane is my Ergodic (True Strength Index)


    Bottom of chart is just time of day at certain points on a 317 ES tick chart.

  3. If you're paying attention to your charts right about now might be a nice time to consider a short.

  5. Over at the original thread Simple Profitable Method they are making a lot of headway with how to use these charts.

    I highly recommend to you (if you don't already have a method to trigger market entry) to go on over there and peruse it, study the comments and examples and apply the knowledge and information being freely given.

    By combining a strategy (always trading with the dominant trend) with tactics (as exemplified over at the Simple Profitable Method) you will be going a long way towards having a sound trading base for ... days-weeks-months-years.

    Which will get better (and your account will grow) as you apply your self to it.


    Best,

  7. that true.

    i usually break the tradeing day down into morning and afternoon sessions.

    anywhere from 3 to 4 days a week those paradigms will hold true for the day's action.

    we've had the morning move.

    the afternoon session usually starts anywhere from 1:30 to 2:15ish or so. after 2:30pm i don't really like to enter a position, i will, but i don't like to, because the move needs time to play itself out.

    best,

    edit: those are ET time zones

  8. OK, the NQ is showing weakness, lunch hour is just about over and i'm looking to short any mintue now.

    i'll be using a modified money management system that i picked up over at austin p bash thread.

    the fact of the matter is that Elite Trader is a gold mine, no, a diamond mine of inforamtion.

    if you can just sift through the dirt, i promise you'll find'em. (most of my proprietary methodology is based on info i got from here, except one piece i found by luck on goggle ...).

    best,

    Took an esy 2 points on a JJ buy signal at 1319.00.

    This is JJ's original entry method which works really well.

    I bailed at 2 points as the R2 is 1322.
