I like the big screen idea but my question would be about resolution. Just because the monitor is bigger doesn't mean you have more real estate. If the resolution was as tight as my Gateway, that would be real cool. But then, I'd end up wanting 4 of those! lol..

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to TL and found this thread to be interesting. Mainly because (and forgive me if I have misinterpretted) it seems to me that you are a very instinctive trader who trades with a feel for his market vs. a set system with defined rules. There are so many ways to approach trading and most people fail at it. It's refreshing to read about someone who trades by feel -- successfully. It's in contrast to the way I trade. I typically will manually backtest a system with clear rules. Once I have confidence in the system, I find the structured approach makes it easier to remain disciplined and that keeps me on a steady profitable track. Not sure if this comment adds anything valuable to this thread though. I just was thinking about the whole notion of 'feel and instinct' vs 'a structured system.'

DaveyJones, I have 4 monitors and I wish I had a couple more. I especially like my Gateway FPD2485W 24 inch because I can rotate it to a portail orientation. It takes a little getting used to but it is a great way to economize desk space. My others are landscape (horizontal) but in hindsight, I wish I just got all Gateways. Then I'd be able to have 6 monitors taking up abou the same space as 4 but with alot more screen space due to the portait orientation. Make sense?

Hi guys, I'm a newbie and thought I'd respond to this very interesting thread. I really enjoy trading the eurjpy and was fascinated by Steven's Renko chart and comments, especially how most traders fail and it makes sense to do something different. I like using tick charts myself. I find that I can do quite well using a 233 tick chart trading during the US session although there is often good movement at other times, obviously too. I agree with Steven regarding a price action based strategy. I am interested in range bars. Can anyone suggest a good range for a daytrade timeframe?
