Quoting pipper
i started out on my shitty broker PTL with a white background as that's all they have and can't adjust now to a dark background. I've tried many times.

It's a pity as most of the good indicators for MT4 that i want to use are for a dark background

Oh, yeah. Really Flip's cup to tea. Headfaked 9 pips in a 100+ excursion. Looks like it's non-commercial (ie, retail) overbought, now, though (right axis).

I hardly use charts to trade anymore... Too much charting for too long gives me anxiety... I get paper printouts of HLOC's and some other stuff end of each day which reviews the latest action and goo off those...

I'm just in a very snarky mood today, sisse. I meant the news-void announcement from Herr Siebert, and the follow up rumors and mis-interpretations which evidently followed.

Quoting samdani786
For those who thinks that this market is " DRUNK " . Its not. It is in the 4th wave Triangle or something >

I think

The problem was not in the levels but in the flow of the chart (because of all the moves were on rumors in a thin market). A -120/+170/-180/+130 and counting intraday with direct moves (no reversal candle wise or rejection of swings,etc) is not normal. Glancing at past data I haven't found one in the last 7 years....

100 up 100 down .. i get most of the move. we just had a lower low.. so this is the attempt to get a h. greater then earlier. and since we have a b/o LL the high should fail. 34xx target posted earlier. a failed hh seals the deal.. or at least gives a small risk, great reward potential.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

nice trade bro...
TNX. Truth is, I'd rather make one dollar on a trade done for rational response for the right reasons than ten dollars on trades made profitable because people are acting like idiots.

EDIT: And now I have to go spend that dollar on lunch on a beautiful fall afternoon. Flip will continue to try to take some money from idiots, and I'll go to confession over it later.

.....watching the S&P though..

looks like a down opening range 119x area and up 124xx between today and Monday ...the key is on the test of that daily S area in my books...

sisse
Darimik I hope you caught some of the move, ES (and oil) running out of gas for today. Trailing for the closing range. As always before and after...
