I wholeheartedly agree, tpplayer. Well said.by Dash - Trading Discussion
BCT - I miss your posts on the forum. I think all of us want to be good at big chart trades, so your absence is most definitely missed.by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - you opened this post by saying that you don't post your trades as much anymore because you do the same thing over and over again. I would love to see your trades - even though it seems redundant to you. I like to see them to be able to study how you do them. It helps!by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - would you mind giving your entry and exit points on your NFLX trade? I'm curious to know if they're in the same place as I would have entered and exited. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Like RR - I needed that! I've read The Slight Edge - I loved it when I read it, but like anything, if you don't consistently apply the concepts, you might as well not even read it. I thinby Dash - Trading Discussion
Thanks Robert - very much appreciated!!by Dash - Trading Discussion
I'm looking for a way to put all optionable stocks that have split within the last 4 weeks into a watchlist on TOS. It would be really great if the stocks could be sorted based on the date they split. Can anyone help with this? I found the watchlist for stocks with upcoming splits, but not for stocks that have already split.by Dash - Trading Discussion
I wondered if we should blame S/O!! Hope you feel better. We miss you!by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - did you make any other trades this week?by Dash - Trading Discussion
Happy to have you back, Rookie - you were missed!!by Dash - Trading Discussion
I think a lot of people liked reading your responses - so thanks! Anyone else want to chime in?by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - what time did you enter and leave this trade and what chart did you use for entry/exit?by Dash - Trading Discussion

Now that there are weekly options, couldn't one do a "Free Money Friday Play" every week?by Dash - Trading Discussion
I'll post a helpful response that I received in a PM: "Just my take : you are going against your bigger charts (Weekly),. Yes could it go to $54, 55 . but your weekly 8 day is 50.50, Daily 20 at 50, 233 50 and TBB at 50.00. You need to break all of that before it can go to 54 / 55. One question I usually ask my self, "what is the path of least resistance?" Just my thought."by Dash - Trading Discussion
Of all the stocks that I look at on a regular basis, I like FB the best right now on the Weekly and Daily charts. My W and D are as GW told us to set them up with only one exception - I added an 8 EMA based on what I read in The Market Maker's Edge. I've only practiced this, but after the W closes above the 8, I look for a buy signal on the D. The W pulled back below the 8, and on Friday closeby Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy, I echo this sentiment. I really look forward to your posts, and am disappointed when there isn't one!! I love all the detail, and hearing the number of dollars made as opposed to percentages. Like Traildoc, it makes it real for me. Keep on posting!by Dash - Trading Discussion
TOS has the OnDemand feature that lets you go back in time to see what happened in real time. Very valuable when you are learning this stuff. I tested both TOS and Tradestation and kept the former for this reason.by Dash - Trading Discussion
Thanks Rookie - that was very motivating to me. Does he watch and trade only a small number of stocks? You mentioned AAPL now and in the past as respects your friend, and now NFLX. I'm wondering if he sticks to a handful of stocks or if he has a big workspace that he searches for "knife" trades. I had another long time GW trader tell me the following: "Typically at the bby Dash - Trading Discussion
I know that a lot of PMs get sent to Darcy, Rookie, BCT and others. I would love to see what is in those messages as relates to trading. So, I am making a somewhat selfish plea that we try to keep the PMs to a minimum and instead post questions and answers here on the forum for everyone's benefit. I have sent PMs in the past mainly because I worry that my questions will sound dumb, redundant,by Dash - Trading Discussion
Rookie - I'm glad I'm not the only one! I entered 2 trades yesterday, NFLX and LNKD. NFLX hit the 8 and 20 on the daily, so even though E was present on the small charts, it didn't work. It made enough to pay commissions only. LNKD hit the bottom of the gap on the daily (Aug 1-2) so perhaps this was why it stopped where it did? Did anyone make any money yesterday??by Dash - Trading Discussion
Always an inspiration, Rookie! Thanks for the detailed posts.by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - Would you mind posting the details of your LNKD trade today?by Dash - Trading Discussion
Trendtrader - in the RTT Trends post, you said that you use the daily for making trades. Do you have a separate chart with the E signal? If so, what size chart is it? Would you consider posting a recent example of a daily trade made with candles off?by Dash - Trading Discussion
Darcy - why did you set your alert at $43 on the FSLR trade on 5/7?by Dash - Trading Discussion
In one of the CDs, Gary says that if a student is too focused on candles, he tells them to turn off the candles. That way, the only thing you have is your indicators on which to base a trade. Has anyone ever done this, and if so, did it improve your trading?by Dash - Trading Discussion
Rookie, your posts help me quite a bit, so please don't back off!! I seldom comment because I feel like I don't have anything to add but more questions. I would miss your insights. You are not hogging the board, and if your comments help one person, then who cares about anyone who thinks otherwise. I would say the same thing to Darcy and others who offer their experiences. I so look forward tby Dash - Trading Discussion
Thanks for posting the details, Rookie, and also for sharing your evolving journey with us! I'm curious why you didn't wait until the candle close on the 55 like Gary teaches. Please don't read this as a criticism, I simply want to understand your approach, as it seems to be working well for you!
