A Winning Runner Trade

Feb 2022 The markets seem explosively volatile as of late.
I'm testing a different entry system for Long entries...using Buy-Stops

A Simple method:

A Winning Scalp Trade

Momentum Scalp using stochastic Signals...
Some days it works 75% of the time while keeping the ones that don't from eating your lunch.
You have to stay on you toes to close the trade out at a second's notice...

SIGNALS work sometimes but there's no guarantee

Just missed the entry - (happens very often)

The Left hand Trade-chart was showing slight Price to indicator divergence in the Mac Histo and in the stochastics...the limit order was placed at the current price
but it immediately popped up before it could be filled and
never dropped back ... came close but that only works in horse shoes

One more time !!!

Withstanding large draw-downs for large gains ... Ya just gotta guess when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em...
An entry order placed at point A required holding through a $45 drop
An entry order placed at point B required holding through a $20 drop
Price eventually had a great run-up of well over $200 from either entry point

Trade chart perspectives - same Ticks per bars

Another set of chart templates showing indicators only -- they get placed next to and under
a T-Mode chart -- used for seeing the the oversold condition of higher (or lower) time-frames...
They are especially helpful when I'm using my stochastic scalping method of order entry.

Just hate when stopped before a good run

FebSmart PCIE-4-port-USB-3.0 card I installed is now working after every boot up or restart (since Saturday).... All I did was create a manual System Restore point while the card was working then selected that one to restore to.

Hi Flo. Yes, I have tried to Disable Renesas in System Configuration which also changes the General tab from Normal startup to Selective startup (which doesn't seem to make any difference to the way anything else operates). There's obviously some kind of conflict between the hardware & software but I can't find it. Going to try a different "cheap" multi-port card to see what happens.

Some of the things I've tried:
I've uninstalled Renesas Electronics via Programs and Features, rebooted and re-installed the Renesas drivers from the FebSmart website and from the mini CD that came with the card...Sometimes the card will work again after doing this, sometimes it won't -- I haven't figured out what exactly I have done when it decides to work the next time...
I've tried using a different motherboard PCI slot with no change in the card's behavioral operation...When it works, it will continue to work as long as the computer is left on (tested by leaving the computer running for days at a time)...It always survives Sleep mode and sometimes it will still work after a Restart or after a cold boot but sometimes it will not.

The problem could be within the power supply (650 watt Gold) or one of the peripherals that are plugged in to the machine -- EG a cheap mouse, keyboard, the dual display video cards, the USB video adapters one of the monitors (8 in total) etc. etc.

All I wanted was to add some extra USB 3.0 ports to plug more stuff into...
(more stuff that will cause other issues LOL) - - might be asking for too much.
After-all, it is a 10+ year old build that's been running 10-14 hours a day, every day, using an operating system that's obsolete...nothing lasts forever.

Any ideas for resolving this issue?

It's an inexpensive ($14 - $19) Japanese PCI-e four port USB 3.0 card that is powered by the PCI bus.
I'm going to try different brands and perhaps an even older version that needs an additional power supply lead plugged to it...

Divergence can often be a great leading indicator ...

This example shows 3XD - - Stochastic, MACD moving averages and MACD histogram all diverge from price.
A Buy Stop order appropriately placed resulted in a good fill and a nice move.

Modify the Fibonacci Retracement Drawing Tools to suit -
in this case it'll draw lines every 10 points and include the level value.

Some issues I have with Win 10 - can't wait for Win 12 to come out!
MS has eliminated many of the things from Win 7 including user control of what consumers
might think was their personal property ...It's becoming more obvious all the time.

Windows 10 running on a 3 year old Dell Optiplex 9020

Still trying different "options" such as Dark mode to see if I can read the window text better...
