Not the best day for me… I should just stick to the box play. Instead, I didn’t play any of the box plays, and stuck to this Hershey-ish (Hershian?) trend-channel methodology I’m trying to learn. I had mixed success, as you’ll see. I’m out of energy at the moment, but maybe I’ll post a big play-by-play review of what could have been, trend-channel-wise, later. It’ll be in jpegs, rather than video form. I really do think the method has promise… but it seems hard to apply in real time. I was afraid of that!

    i blew up a simulation account trying to learn that method…i did take away a few things that i learned, but the style is way too active for my tastes…i’m sure you’ll have better success than i did

    yeah, there’s no way I could get away with reversing every time I thought I was on the wrong side of the market. I think that practically 100% of the time! So, I’m not sure if I’m gonna stick with it. One way I might be hurting myself is using 4181 share bars, which amounts to 1 to 3 minutes per bar. They use 5 minute charts, and their daily annotations seem cleaner, which makes sense I guess. Maybe I should jump up to 8000ish share bars and see what that looks like.

    IF this methodology works with minute bars why not use minute bars? Share bars don’t work for every trading plan.
    I LOVE YOUR BOX PLAY!! 100% accuracy with good profits today!

    Hi Shelly! It’s something to consider, for sure. I’m mainly sticking with my current charts because I’m stubborn. Not a very good reason, I guess! :-) I’ve only tried this for 2 days, and had 1 good day and 1 bad day so far… if I keep having bad days I will make a change.
