Hello again PB! I still think that Tdion's point is being missed. He can correct me if I'm wrong. I'll try again: You place your trade. What happens next is wholly based on the market - i.e. other participants transactions being executed (the likes ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Ha! I wanted to delete my post since I didn't want to seem like too big an ass. I think that you see it was in good fun. LOL

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Yes, ability is important of course. But, with some market conditions you will easily make money and others not. I just don't see how it can be said that what the market does isn't important in trading. Maybe that's not what you're saying. Getting ...

"In My Opinion"

Trading In The Dark

But, I think that you would admit that this "sense" for you now as an experienced trader is not the same as when you were a novice, right? In other words it's not innate or mystical...but, simply a product of your market experience to date. What's ...

Why Indicators will fail you

I've got to discipline myself to keep my charts clean! I've been around here for awhile (see post count LOL) and have only just recently started to see through the indicator/system smoke-screen. So much wasted time and energy. Thanks for the thread! ...

Falling Back Inside The Bands — Nicely defined trade here with good RR of about 4:1. Same setup that Cindy spells out but, on 5 min. If I was more confident I'd have at least hung on until the target was hit. Still a newbie! LOL

Just working with the standard 20 period 2.0 std dev on the B Bands. Default PSAR. Recently I'm checking out Range Bars. They take some getting used to but, are pretty nice for breakout type setups. Here's a shot with Range Bars and a tighter (15 ...

Really Good Read — Just want to bring this thread back to the surface by saying that I've just read Bollinger On Bollinger Bands and thought it was just great. Definitely worth reading!

Nice! — Thanks for sharing, Onedrop! Solid stuff. Best of trading to you! Brent P.S. One question: Do you ever use the regression channel to trade sideways market action or only rising and falling trending? I guess that you probably leave it ...
