Magdoran:


             This Thread was iniated by a question I recieved via PM , as part of the response I offered against my better judgement, to follow a TRADE  I was in ( LHG ) with the inquirer.

  ( I have done this before and then as now found it to be extremly distracting to the trade --- leads to hesitation ).


I told the inquirer that I did not want the THREAD to end up like most of the threads on this site , off the original subject and just a slinging match . ---- That at the first sign of this I would bow out .


The THREAD  is about SIMPLE  trading methods with a bit of basic advice ( hence  the post SHORTS ).


The THREAD is restricted to YOUR OWN PERSONAL and PRACTICAL EXPERINCE

 What you have read but NOT applied --- Personal opinons with no Practical back-up---- Back Testing (horse racing systems)   ---- DO NOT BELONG HERE


Practical contsructive critisim is more than welcome --- just be mindful of others who may be in a TRADE  , that your comments do not distract them from what they are doing.


Exactly the type of thing I wanted to advoid is this reply to tech/a  statements.


Early in the thread I stated that only 2 patterns iniate a trade , they are a RISING TRIANGLE or a BULL FLAG for a LONG, opposite for a SHORT ---- hence 70/80% S/R

( Practical not what I've read or Quoted from others )


The Count Back Line is used only as a confirmatin tool for Breakout Trading .-- It does not belong to Pattern Trading

There must be another unrelated signal EG: Trend line rebound, Bollinger Band rebound etc --- this was also stated earlier.


The C/B as a STOP (in a Trend Trade ) is only used as a last resort (insurance) -- by the time it is  hit U should have been out of the Trade ---- also stated earlier.


The ADX --- at no time did I state the ADX was a entry signal --- what I said was that with a Topping Treading stock -- to shorten the 21d to 14d  -- watch for D+,D- and ADX  divergence along with Candles , Bollinger Bands etc , taken as a group they are INDICATING a warning ---- also stated earlier.


After a stock has maintaned its rise as a Breakout or Pattern , if a new UP trend is on the way the ADX will confirm this and can be used as a trend tracking tool , there are probably others , if you have USED them over a period of time  and not mearly read about or back tested  them, then  bring them into the discussion  .


This Thread is intended for posters who are ACTUALLY TRADING

Their Practical experinces and Practical advice ONLY



Cheers
