{quote} 1. Read Post 1 & make an effort to understand it. 2. Read all of Divergence's posts in 2016. 3. Set up your charts and trade in SIM. 4. Having done all of the above, ask specific questions. It'll be worth it
Thanks jtrade. I've been perusing on and off this thread since the beginning and it seems like there are a bunch of different types of charts... Also i had a general question about futures tick charts... Why are the settings often 133 and 433 instead of something like 150 and 400?
Actually nevermind. I didnt realize it started in 2011. Ill try to read the 2016 posts.
So JTRADE if I read from page 468 I'm good?
It has been a quiet low volume low volatility narrow trading range week for us US RTH traders. I am hoping today changes that so I can make some $$$.
Yes, I am zero for the week so far...
And markets are closed on Friday, so when we speak of feast or famine, this week may be "famine".
Got a few ticks on CL, so not going to starve yet..Off till tomorrow...
Not much to report have made 53 ticks this week which was like pulling teeth hopefully I can grab some tomorrow

Agreed D, it's been bloody hard work last few days. Should change soon enough.

Well I am glad to see this week come to an end. Two weeks ago my little project account stood at 2900 and change, and then last week I was not feeling well and I did not trade. This week I traded. I had a real bad day and a real good day and two days of sitting and watching nothing happen. So my net for the week puts me at 3001.

Onward and upward is all I can say.

I hope your injuries are heling well and that you are free of pain, Divergence.

I wish all a Happy Easter!

God Bless,

I was able to squeak not tweak out 53 ticks this week. Wound is healing and pain 99% gone. It's a good Friday and a better Sunday coming

All you need is movement. Volume comes and goes, imo.

But you are correct, volume is shockingly low.

All last week seemed that way too - are the weeks around Easter typically like this? Is it spring break week this week?
