Hi there,

 

I want to open this thread as I see different strategies and theories being explained on TL. Just out of curiosity, what do you trade? Based on your answers I will try to make some sort of classification and post the results here.

 

Here are the options/possibilities I can think of:

 

1. Elliott; 2. Gann; 3. Taylor; 4. Whyckoff; 5. Garley; 6. Divergencies; 7. Point and Figure; 8. Drummond;

 

Any other strategies or ideas would be considered as well.

 

Now let's see which strategy defines your trading style best?

I'm not sure really how to vote on this one. A big part of my trades is how it looks and feels, maybe one could call it "gut", maybe one could call it price action, maybe one could call it divergences in some of the looks that I like to see - I don't know. Short-term ideas for scalps / day trades.

 

With kind regards,

MK

for some reason your post made me remember how I used to dream about charts when I was first getting started. I think it comes from staring at a lot of charts :cool:

probably yes....we all started from somewhere.....my idea is to see what people are trading here in TL to assess a bit the knowledge and then based on the results to open discussions on the main interest of the members

I started with TA like mostly everyone else. Then I tried candlesticks which were a total failure for me in any way I tried them Maybe I was not good enough for them. Then I tried to trade news and fundamentals and I just was breaking even. After about 4 years of frustration I started studying price action. I came across blogs like Price Action Lab blog and I also use the Price Action Lab software as a scanner and together with Strategy Quant. to develop systems. I trade high cap stocks, futures and forex. I am about to turning profitable using these methods soon I hope.

Nobody trades just support and resistance? Breakouts?

 

one could argue most of these 'named strategies' consist of that....its just been given a name.

One of the joys of polls.

 

There are some names missing as well (eg; Darvas, Trend, MAs, Price action (all too generic)), but they are generally all fairly similar.

Draw a box around a consolidation, and then trade breakouts from the box is the gist of it. Made a ballerina called Darvas some money a very long time ago . . .

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
