    Megamuel's Money Making Journal

    jonboy Limit orders to enter and exit, stop orders to cover. I trade US, and place orders outside market hours. For me, it's the only way I can remove emotion from each trade. I know my entry and exit points -- I can focus on placing the trades correctly (ever bought when you meant to sell?)...

    Megamuel's Money Making Journal

    Hi Sam I've spent many fruitless months chasing the perfect strategy. Eventually I realised there isn't one. I tried to follow other peoples generously shared strategies, that didn't work either. What I've ended up with, rather than filtering hundreds of charts, is a number of instruments...

    kaji renko 3 line breaks

    Kaji & Renko charts are variants on Point & Figure charts. They remove 'noise' from charts giving a clearer view of support and resistance points. They will plot on one direction until the reverse criteria are met. You can set these are a % of the price, or to a specified number of points...

    Managing Swing Trades

    Hi Everyone It's been a while since I last traded, and I'm looking to get back into regular trading.

    Sierra Charts and misleading trendlines.

    Very strange. Perhaps if you save the settings as a chartbook and e-mail it to SC with your data file and the screen shot they can throw some light on it. Let us know what they say. Good luck L

    Sierra Charts and misleading trendlines.

    Ford Which version of SC are you using -- it's the number that appears after SierraChart on the top line of the window? It looks as if you may have drawn a trend channel (introduced in release 39) which may be calculated from a ssingle drawn line (I've got release 38 so I'm guessing here). I...

    Charting software

    I've found Sierra Chart excellent. If you are index trading then why not consider an account with IB? You can connect SC to your IB data feed. SC costs $42 for 6 months use, then you add data which for LIFFE is $20 per month. This will give you the FTSE250 index as well as the Index futures if...
