yeah there are a million ways to do pivot points. my personal preference for daily pivots is 5pm-5pm EST. for weekly, i begin at sunday 5pm and end friday 5pm EST.

Precision, low-risk entries for discretionary systems.

a lot of people do that. most these days do an LLC, though. if you scour the greencompany.com website you will find good info on this subject. they also sell a book about trader tax that you might want to read...

ok dialist, i have a precision, low-risk entry techniques to add. this one takes small profits, but you can usually get away with a very small stop. between the hours of 5pm and 6am EST (not later because volatility is too high), if you see the euro ...

Query: Moving Stops to Breakeven

everything in trading flys in the face of literature including what i am about to say here... entries are important. exits are important. money management is important. but NONE of them is more or less important than another. think about it ...

Query: Moving Stops to Breakeven

LOL! man, im out of the loop! but now that i know this is a commonly known maxim of trading, im going to put it in the same place i keep the "trend is your friend" before i met jim, i would have argued that there is no way to enter a trade without ...

Query: Moving Stops to Breakeven

yeah the difference is when i enter a trade the market usually moves 40 pips against me. and thats exactly the time jim and dialist are entering their trade! damn, i need to learn this pullback trick!

Query: Moving Stops to Breakeven

hey dialist ive never heard of this before :o who have you heard say it? the quality of your entry will determine the speed at which you should move your stop to breakeven. if your entries are really good with not alot of pullback, the fast move to ...

welcome to the forum rebel! you sound like you know your stuff are you an elliotician?

orii, what "math wiz gamblers" are you referring to? any person good enough at math to be considered a wiz will know that you can not make money with a negative expectancy game.

codification of the market / Genetic Algorithms

well, yes, i would need a definition for trend before i can trade against it:o trends are defined by breakouts in my philosophy. if the market is making a new high (whether it be a 5 minute high or a 5 year high), it is trending up and vicaversa.

Let's talk about trends I'm confused

i think the cable is out of gas right here at 1.8200. she's going 700 pips south

Where will it stop

i concur the trend is not my friend. trend following was in vogue in the 60's, and continued on through the 80's, and there is still a lot of liturature around that is based on the market conditions of those times. i dont think you can make money ...
