Why go to the effort to be negative? Just don't say anything, and check back tomorrow to read something new. Or if you don't find value on a consistent basis don't read this particular site anymore.Doug K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-48725253311235199072009-04-06T19:12:00.000-04:002009-04-06T19:12:00.000-04:00Tom T. - I always find Tom's posts informative.

As opposed to trying to find the holy grail and have someone tell you how to trade. Which, imo, will never work. <BR/><BR/>There is a wealth of information here. Take what you can use, and ignore the rest.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-21186830953652232952009-04-06T18:42:00.000-04:002009-04-06T18:42:00.000-04:00Tom T., I am sorry that you didn't find it informa...Tom T., I am sorry that you didn't find it informative. To me this blog is a continuing process, not a read one post and learn to trade. Over time I have outlined how I trade, as has Trader-X. Things like "retracement zone" are defined, discussed, and explained on the blog. You have to do a search if you are new...or Trader-X has links at the top of the blog to take you to important posts. But it is not possible to explain everything ever discussed in each new post.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Fibonacci, I use it to frame price action. So on these longer-term trades, my Fibonacci lines are plotted over the previous year's high and low. Entries can be at key levels, and targets are at key levels, be that lows, highs, fibonacci extensions, or the retracement zone.<BR/><BR/>Regarding parameters used to find these candidates - the trades are based on setups at the key levels mentioned above along with candlestick patterns. I don't do scans anymore - I have a universe of stocks I follow. So I am not going to take the time to describe how to scan for stocks moving off the previous year's low. You can find that elsewhere. For me it is all about studying/analyzing charts and making high-probability trades.<BR/><BR/>But in the end, if my posts are of no value, I respect that and don't expect you to read. There are a lot of quality blogs out there and I am sure you can find a fit.Tom C.http://www.traderxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-69335680664746144212009-04-06T18:09:00.000-04:002009-04-06T18:09:00.000-04:00Maybe I am the only one who found this post not ve...Maybe I am the only one who found this post not very informative. First, why bother plotting the fib lines - I missed it - seems all you are doing with those two examples is buying based on candle reversal formations off of the yearly low - I missed where the fib lines factored into the trade since I do not see them marked in the chart. Also, what is the "retracement zone" - this is never defined. Third, Amirke's question was really a filter question - what parameters do you use to find these candidates? I was wondering how this system of swing trading is also used if price is now well above 2008 lows but not yet at 2008 highs - for your candidates. Where does your trading go from here? I do not mean to sound negative - I just want to learn and there is a lot missing for me - thanks.Tom T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02931767044700231397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-31435075727985664262009-04-06T12:40:00.000-04:002009-04-06T12:40:00.000-04:00Thank you Tom C.

But if you are looking for simple ways to apply basic Fibonacci, it is well worth the money. As far as getting an idea of what you are buying, there is a ton of info out there on it - there webiste, comments here, other blogs. And the $125 is relative - we lose more on a bad trade, so if it gives you ideas that help you avoid bad trades, it is worth ten times that much.Tom C.http://www.traderxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-38887845139217790502009-04-05T14:28:00.000-04:002009-04-05T14:28:00.000-04:00Amirke - I have a universe of stocks I watch on a ...Amirke - I have a universe of stocks I watch on a weekly basis, and my longer-term trades come out of those. I used Worden in the past (TeleChart), and it is a great product. You can write scans for just about anything, such as stocks near the previous year's low. I am sure there are a lot of free Internet scanners too - I just don't use them. Try Yahoo - they have a free scanner. Or finviz.com. Or prophet.net.<BR/><BR/>I am sure other readers can chime in with some free tools.Tom C.http://www.traderxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-30625813084250978232009-04-05T09:07:00.000-04:002009-04-05T09:07:00.000-04:00Thanks for the charts Tom.
