Friday’s Trading
Posted on May 30th, 2008

Even though volume and the range were abysmal, I used my latest scalping method to make 7 trades this morning, for 6 wins and 1 loss.
I don’t remember if this is one of the ones I made or not (the bars go by really quickly on a 233 share bar chart!), but this is a [...]

I’ve been playing with a simple scalping method, based on the eotpro elite series indicators (which I authored, and so I obviously think they are the bee’s knees).
What I like about this chart, is that it’s all price action. No subgraphs. It is deceptively simple-looking, though… I would never take every trade [...]

Here’s the one that got away….
Every day, there will be trades that don’t quite meet your criteria, that would make you a ton of money. You can’t dwell on that, or you will end up forming bad habits that drain your account. This was the only signal I had this morning, and as [...]

I still haven’t been able to make a video that youtube won’t mangle… so today we’ll go with a screenshot.
Three signals, two viable. This leads to two trades for two nice wins. A nice way to end the week! The entry points are at the vertical lines, and the profit taking areas [...]
My Volume Bar Settings

I get a lot of questions about volume bars, and how to set them up. A long time ago I made myself a cheat sheet for how to set up volume bars, based on the average volume of the stock. It goes like this:

Today was ok but not great. 3 trades for 2 wins and one loss. But, the second win was only 2 ticks, and only because an experimental eotpro.com indicator scared me out just in the nick of time.
My last few videos have been mangled by youtube. They must have “upgraded” [...]

I took the day off, as usual… but I glanced at my charts and they looked pretty good today, so I made a quick video about it.
I got a note in the mail from TD Ameritrade. Like most traders, I have left a trail of brokerage accounts in my wake. Anyway, this was [...]

I had to wait a long time, but eventually a signal got through all my filters, for nice profit!
