Re: [REQ] Pristine DVD's Seminars

 

Can any fellow members provide comments on the effectiveness of the various top candlestick gurus - ie pristine, steven bigalow and steve nison??

 

My question is pinpointing towards the "effectiveness" of the gurus in providing a better than 50-50 approach towards trading the right hand side of the chart. Instead of the hindsight analysis such as pinpointing a support level a few bars prior where there were reversal patterns..., etc..

 

TQ and hav a good weekend!!! ;)

Re: I have a dilemma :)

 

I would suggest using TA for shorter term trading, and FA for longer term positional trades.. coz structural changes in markets take time to crystalize, hence it would be very difficult to use a long term view to trade the shorter term noises...

 

Juz explore jim rogers style.. his fundamental calls are really very sound.. ie his call for bullish commoditiies, bearish dollar, which was made years ago.. HOWEVER, he would have lost a lot of $$$ following his analysis years ago coz the markets onli act accordingly recently... :)

Re: I would like to be a futures traders

 

True, futures exchanges are better regulated compared to the norm forex brokers... nonetheless, i believe the key issue is whether the wannabe trader could adjust to the volatility of the future markets with the key benefits of profiting from both up/down scenarios...

 

If adjusted well, its truly a paradise coz you can trade constantly to increase your capital on a daily basis.. otherwise, it's the faster way to get out biz if can't follow the futures markets, esp when the spikes come in!! :)

Daryl Guppy's trend trading book is a very good guide on trend trading via Guppy moving avg, darvas, etc.. Nonetheless, the key issue is matching the tools with our internal pyschology.. :)

Re: How much of TRADING is really about the indicators?...

 

i believe that there are two school to this question... mainly the key issue being the number of products that the trader trades in.. i.e it's difficult to monitor price action on more than 5 products @ same time.. However, its easier to follow graphically via indicators on multiple products..

Re: How to trade using support & resistance line ?

 

For less aggressive play, it's less riskier by waiting for a retracement back to the support/resistance level and observe whether there's any pent up demand... and then participate in the move if there are no pressure..
