I'm not sure this is a good thing, no matter how you turn it.

Great, now I feel like supergeek for knowing most price levels by heart. (Shhh Patrick, don't tell 'em about the s/r as well, just quietly sidle out of the room and nobody will notice..)

Yes, me please. How is it I only see entries, but no stops and how is it I only see entries, but no setups? Basically I think part of the question is a) what is your risk and / or b) how could you know your risk this way? Another way to put it would ...

I really haven't read into this at all and this is essentially one of the first things I read about it, but... Isn't it a bit like saying "If I get a 50% retracement and go from there, I can expect a move towards the 138.2% fib extension"? (I.e. ...

..then.. The exception I would make to this is: if your wealth affords you to become a lifetime member without really having much of an impact, then check the material here out briefly, survey the J16 site, and, after serious weighing and ...

I am getting more and more depressed at barely being included in recent "counts and mentions". 3000+ posts (even with a year of almost no posting, still 2.49 posts a day average) and all I got was this lousy 1kT badge..that then got taken away ...

Fortunately, I can with good conscience tell you that even if you only make it to 2009, you will likely already have most material necessary to make it on your own, if you can filter out the nuggest and put in the time. Dante/Tom has basically made ...

And since stocks aren't posted that frequently, here's a bit of the DJI. (For those in the know, this is an updated version of the infamous "7500 is a must reach level" chart Edit: Actually the first one still has that marked in, ooops..duh. ...

Sheebus, I try and stay up to date with the thread, have like 3-5 days since I last checked, and whenever I click next page, a NEW next page pops up. And I have 40 posts per page set! There must be around 2-300+ new posts, almost 100 daily...how do ...

No, of course not. If you are in any way inclined to distract yourself from proper trading and wish to add an additional factor of psychological burden and uncertainty, there is NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING better than the clueless bleating of the ...

If I may add my own (still limited compared to decades+ real seniors) perspective: While this certainly is true in a "potentially" way, if I really took this notion seriously, the only way I'd end up is being 100% completely paralyzed as I'd look at ...

Thanks! Although I do hope I've already posted some charts at least as clean as these recent ones over time. They still have a bit of clutter, but I don't have a "presentation version" of every chart I save / chart out, so sometimes there's only a ...

For my friend benssol. He loves continuation IBs, this was a nice one.

See, this is what's wrong with this thread. Everybody already knows what/where the good stuff is. And then post it faster than anyone else could, too! How a senile, errr, senior member like me is supposed to come up with anything new beyond that, I ...

I really want to post something again, but looking over my recent trades and considering them under the criteria of "preferably simple, picky and ideal, without overcomplication" I am kind of coming up mostly empty Almost everything now seems to ...

Happy Birthday Jim I think it doesn't need pointing out what you've done here with this thread and for how many people. Have a great day, week, year +++.. My very best, Patrick

I just wanted to clarify this briefly. I really wasn't going to reply anymore at all, since, well, reasons. But what I really asked for was a(n expired) trade along with the reason. Main emphasis, or rather ALL emphasis on the reason. The one thing ...

I hope not, I use it all the time. Thought it was more of a meek gesture. Way I see it it's like saying "I'm fine with your standpoint and definitely don't mind you having it. I have a perspective that might differ. If I may voice it, mine goes ...

I've got no opinion on that pair as it's not "one of mine" When pondering a setup, usually occam's razor ends up being: If despite weighing pros and cons I still feel (so) bad about a trade(as not to immediately want to take it) instead of seeing ...

james16 Chart Thread

The other way around. It was less a saying of don't take setups and more a don't force them. Usually trying to curve fit just about any justification of still buying in late is due to inserting/injecting hopes and wishes into the chart, due to ...
