The RTT trends have been successful >=80% in the recent past which is pretty good. However, I still typically don't trade the trend unless I have some technical reason as well. Trading the Evidence videoby trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion

I emailed Brandi on Friday asking for information on the next webinar, but haven't heard anything from her yet. Anyone know when the next one is scheduled?by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
mtut, Thanks for all the posts and informaton in thois thread! I have been monitoring the thread since the beginiing, but resisted actually trying it because I'm normally focused on big chart trading. However, in my spare time this week, I've been using your method and having success practicing. -TTby trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
No worries I totally agree with your last post. The other possiblity is just selling the stock when it's time to sell (charts turning over), instead of selling options. I've started doing that sometimes. Obviously, you don't get any extra premium from selling calls, but there is also no risk. And I can move on to the next trade immediately.by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
NC Trader - thanks for the examples. In your ITM example, I think the "Remains Flat" and "Drops $5" numbers are double counting. I think the total gain for both is $10, the premium you receive for selling the calls. You wouldn't make $7 or $2 for the stock in those sceanrios, because you would be called out of the stock for $30, correct?by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion

Thanks for the feedback. I have been seeing it too. Good to know it's not just me. I will have the appropriate folks take a look at the issue.by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion

GWNO and NC77 - I appreciate the W&O discussion! I have been very picky with my W&O entries in the past, but have had a hard time finding a good W&O trade each month because of that. NC77 - for the MTW trade you describe, I would have passed since the daily chart is on the top bollinger band, which sometimes limits up-side potential. Your MTW trade is working so far...I willby trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
Your system is performing very well!by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
T&H has always intrigued me as well, but have never tried it. Good luck!by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion

Thanks BCT. I've been practicing big chart trades for several months, so your trade posts have been helpful. I had a successful real trade with FFIV. Entered on 9/4 and exited yesterday. I initially looked at FFIV because RTT's "Trading the Evidence" shows a great September up trend and signaled a possible technical entry last week.by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
I looked at the BIIB trade as well. I saw the perfect E on the 10E chart at 3:00 PM on 9/6/13 instead of 9/5/13. Maybe a typo in Darcy's original post?by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
Nice gainer. What was your exit criteria?by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
Thanks Rookie30 - that was one of the more entertaining posts I have read on this forum...and some very good trading information too.by trendtrader1 - Trading Discussion
