Hi Ken, welcome to T2W! Multicharts may be promising in the future, but to be honest even though my PC is a bit ancient, Multicharts was so slow as to be unusable. TS2000i seems to be pretty good though!

Bit boring now... I'm trying to keep busy by looking at Light Crude, which seems to have traced out a nice triangle (I'm seeing them everywhere!).

Thanks for the input Lurker. May have strayed from my plan here as I feel this could break either way.

We seem to have a triangle formation here.... I'm short, but possibly regretting that choice as it seems to be hitting decent support at the lower bound.

Well, it was down... was just getting ready to post a rant that I hadn't got filled on IG and missed the move (as the dealing window was doing that "processing" thing with the hour glass...). Anyway, logged out and back in and lo and behold had been filled! A nice 20 point move from 321 down to...

Hmm... a bit dull, although we seem to have an upward wedge which is getting ready for a move - which way, I don't know yet!

Maybe I should add Robert Merton and Myron Scholes... before the LTCM crash and burn! :lol:

Managed to get 13,632 to 13,612 on the basis of a complex H&S top that seemed to have formed, particularly evident on the 10 minute. Maybe exited a bit too early (I'm an expert at cutting profits remember :)), as longer timeframes seem to suggest a nice double-top formation...

Don't be too downhearted - I lost 77 today! Pretty poor. However, in my defence I was stopped out on a couple of trades which were (for a short time) profitable as the ADSL went down for an hour (apparently Nildram had a "core network failure", whatever that means!). In any case, I should have...

Lurker - I've been following this thread off and on for a little while when I have the time, and have enjoyed your posts. I seem to be quite similar to you in my trading. I have several problems, but these can probably be broken down into Cutting profits, letting losses run; more the former...

Me too - you're not the only one if that makes you feel better Dinos! :rolleyes:

TWI - thanks so much for posting. Sorry to not respond earlier. I tried out the trial, and to be honest did not have much success. The biggest problem is that I found is that it was very slow. It also seems to a bit counter-intuitive with working with data. However, some good functions and a...

I haven't really had a chance to think about this; however, in essence, are you saying that that a move away from these points could act as a buy/sell signal? I presume you are feeding intraday data into software to come up with these points. Are you an academic by any chance given the...

Attachments with thumbnails (hopefully...)

Yes, I see the swing low too. Place an order to open tomorrow if we get a rise from the open. Also attached, see that we have an upward pennant formation, which could signal a breakout.
