Interesting article in Stocks & Commodities Magazine on trading the QQQ long and short in the first half hour. They used a one minute chart and stochastics for entry based on the over sold/bought levels. Close to what I have been doing, but I've been using 5 minute charts and Pristine's reversal periods, and trades over/under prior bar's limits, trend lines, moving averages, gaps, 5 and 30 rules. Now if I can only stick to it.... That's the psych part. Getting better at that. As I look back at my charts, it's not the method that isn't as profitable as I'd like it, it's me. I'm the problem, but hey, at least I am changing that, slowly but surely. I've had to create an entire "system" just to change my own bad habits....
