Thanks for that Chartman - much appreciated. Dino.

Great chart again Chartman. One question, if I may. I saw the 3 then the 4 peak divergent top and thought about a short entry after the break of the lower trend-line. What stopped me was that I did not understand what this pattern was - it was not a flag or a pennant, maybe just two upward...

Hi Chuck, this looks a very interesting package for the money. Is it possible to put trend lines on the streaming charts ? Dino

Chartman thanks. You described and annotated the chart brilliantly. I was not trading yesterday so did not watch it develop, however, I'm sure, that as normal, it all looks a lot easier in hindsight than at the time. Dino.

Chartman, thanks for the analysis. As always, your views are much appreciated / valued. Dino.

Chartman, I'll try. I don't have 'cross-hairs' on the chart I'm looking at so times/prices are approx. The flag pole forms from the early high at 8320 down to 8255 (16:00 UK). The flag forms between 16:00 & 16:50 with a break thru the lower trend line at 8285 (16:50). The H & S forms between...

Chartman, I was monitoring the bear flag pattern (as marked on your chart) that developed from the 8320 high at 15:30 then broke below the lower trend line and went back up to touch it circa 17:30, then fell away again. There was a S/R switch both on price & CCI followed by a possible head &...

Chartman, I was referring to Tuesday's chart and I meant US times. Looking at your 1 min chart it looks more like down-sloping expanding triangle than a bull-flag ( I was using a 5min LYCOS chart). Interesting how things appear different at the time - I think it is very easy to see what you...

I'm a novice but I reckon that was a bull flag between 14:30-16:30 with a target of circa 8130. Made a few points on the breakout but it ran out of time, market closed before target reached. What does this mean ? Are all bets off or should we expect continuation tomorrow ? Please feel free to...

Thanks guys. I was searching for the word DOW and I also had a mental aberration that the DOW contained 100 stocks not 30, so thought the US 30 was a different instrument - doh. I feel ever so humbled - I guess we can all have a bad hair day. Dino.

A couple of people on this thread have compared Finspread and D4F. I too prefer the D4F software. I use D4F for trading UK stocks but are using FINS to trade the DOW as I can't find the DOW on the D4F instrument tree, only the NASDAQ & the S&P - am I being a complete dumbo ? Dino

Chartman, thanks for a brilliant set of posts. My TA skills have improved greatly as a direct result of your contribution to this board. One thing I still struggle with is the setting of targets for bull & bear flags. To get the target figure correct it is essential to know where the flag pole...

Anybody got D4F MM5 working through a firewall I've got the s/w installed fine on my machine that uses a dial-up modem. I must say it is really professional. Can't get it to work through a proxy server though. It falls over before it gets to the screen that lets you enter the proxy server...

I guess you guys are talking about sbs on the indexes. Yes the spreads are pretty fixed and trying to beat the bias is pure guesswork (imho). However the spreads on stocks are quite fluid, this can work to your advantage but generally to your dissadvantage. I would, however, say that trying to...

Chartman, just to say I find your charts and analysis extremely useful. Although I have read a lot of TA stuff, I don't recall seeing anything about the significance of slope changes. Can you provide any pointer on this. Dino.
