are there any good support/resistance indicators that do not litter your screen with 50 or more lines? Just the ones that are still valid. I use Trade station and there is one app but too many lines. I get confused if they are valid or not. Thanks

I am looking for a copy of this software, I did a stupid thing. I was taking it from one computer to another and the disk fell into the trash. I did not realize it and the wife cleaned my computer area and I was the looser. If anyone could help where I can find a copy of it or who has it for sale. I seemed like a good program and I never got to use it. Thanks a million

I am interested in using the indicator best support and resistance,. It is coded in MT-4 and would like to ask you if it could be coded for tradestation. If you could it would be appreciated and if not do I have your permission to have it coded for easy language.

The only thing I trade right now is stocks, I have tried quite a few different indicators and found many that are out there are junk. I have modified the moving average to look simular to t-3 (small and large trigger lines) ( I use 4,12,with dotted lines red or blue and 24, 36 solid green) Watch the training on nextgen software and you should get the idea on how to use them. You might not make so many trades but it will keep you from so many loosing trades. I just do not have $16000 to pay for the T-3. I need to keep from loosing anymore. What I and many people need is a Mentor. I know one guy that was a market maker with scotttrade and he can tell within .01-.02 cents wher the price will turn. He had a mentor (free) but will not help anyone else to get profitable. I have found that all the people that have been helped like that are all the same.

You ask that working your way up to manager, trading can;t be all that hard. I would caution you to go small or your stash might not last that long.Be careful about all the TRADERS that sell many things, most of it does not work. Read a couple of books, two I might recommend would be john Carter Trade the Markets and the other is Al Brooks Reading price Charts bar by bar. I also felt how hard could it be. I served 21 Years in the Marines Became a Senior NCO Could do everything from packing parachutes, working on ejection seats, Aircraft electrician Metal work. I also have a pilot licence and a couple of other fAA licences. I was very successful at what I did. TRADING IS A MUCH DIFFERENTLifestyle than what you have been told all your life.Finally I am profitable. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

I am not a vender and had questions about customized trading.com I seem to be very lery of venders not allowing a trial. That gives me the feeling they are not sure of their product. This software migt be the holy grail , but if you cannot try it, I do not want to loose $2000.

I found their site and it does look very good but they do not give a trial. Does anyone have this software and does it work as good as it looks

I have also been working on a trading style. I have taken many different courses and they were not working for me. I used Barry burns 50 moving average and modified it. Here is a link to his web site and the one part I used was the day 4 & 5. and what I got off another web site using the Keltner channel. Daytrading with forex training for forex day trading, stock market trading and emini trading This is his five day course and it is free The part on the 50 day moving average is like a rubber band as Barry Burns says. I have modified what he says that when the moving average is going down and the price is above the average short it but why stop and get out ride it down as far as you can. I also use something with it that I read and it works pretty good with it. The Keltner channel article said that when the price closedt outside the outer band enter the next bar and ride it as far as you can. I have modified it as long as it is in a trend I use the mid band and it keeps me in the trade longer. The only other thing I use is support resistance. The confluance areas you talk about are what are called supply and demand zones Try it on sim and see if it helps. I find the other things you are talking about just get in my way of watching what is going on. I am using trade station and they have an indicator that gives good turning poins and it is nothing more than a dot see if this is something that might help and let me know if it does

I agree with you with price. I told him the best book on price is " reading price charts bar by bar. written by Al Brooks. I am just finding out that price is king. I also use a couple of indicators that help for now. One is the macd and divergence indicator. 12 and 25 moving averages expodential. Could you think of anything that might help as I am also just getting profitable.

Trading the Storm - Methods for the Struggling Trader
marty221 replied to Maelstrom's topic in Technical Analysis
I like the support resistance as it gives you where the change in direction is and much less complicated and more reliable. This method might be good but it seems complicated. Read the book reading price charts bar by bar by Al Brooks and it would refine your system alot. -
Hi All I am interested in scalper software and was wondering if anyone has tried it or has tried to code it to use in tradestation. Their ad says it appears on the bar long before the others do.

How do I find a copy of the second part of the MT Predictor training manual without having to buy the software?

Maybe you should trade pennies on the real stocks. I was in a class that was teaching trading and they wanted us to trade 10 stocks at a time and make a log of what you traded and review it at the end of the day why you took the trade. I am not one to preach because I have just became profitable (some). I have learned to trade price. and I am reading the book reading price bar by bar. It might help. I am tired of people that have been helped by others and then they want $10,000 to teach you.

Thanks Mystic Forex: I trade stocks right now and am finally becoming to the breakeven point am have finally learned (somewhat) to trade price using supply and demand zones and sometimes trendlines. I have3 lost and lost and gotten out of trading and back in and lost more. I was at the final straw when on of the councelers at Online Trading Academy, talked to me into taking the course one more time, and I was given the course in 1999 because of being a 100% disabled veteran. I have lifetime retakes. He said they had revised the course, I almost told him NO. I took the retake andthe instructor was someone I knew so I went. I will only use his first name, Scott. He is the best instructor on this course I have maet. He preached "price is king" I finally have been able to keep from losing and hope to soon be profitable. I also would like to have found this web site as I have read alot that might also be to my benifit.. I should stop for now but thanks for the welcome. -

Hi, I found this place a couple of weeks ago and I am really glad to find a friendly place about trading. I have been through a trading class and am still having problems. I wonder why that experienced traders that someone helped to learn are afraid to help someone else without asking for $10,000 or more. I just want to make a little money. anyhow gl;ad to be here -
I have just finished the new and revised course in a school ( I don't know if I can say ) The theme that they teach is price/ price/ price and it is king. I am able to see the turning points and am learning to predict the profit points and have bought this book called "reading price charts bar by bar". I plan to improve the quality of the trades that I make. It probably not hurt you as you are having problems already. I started trading before I really knew what I was doing and lost alot of money. It really scares me I can predict where and when the price turns and how long it will stay in the trend. There will be times that it will do something different so as he said," put in a tight stop but not too tight." I have not gotten the book yet but I do belive it can help you with that. It would be interesteing if when you do read it to find out if it did help..
