Created this journal, to keep track of charts and day to day ideas. All content is for analysis only and does not promote or advocate anyone taking trades or ideas posted. Its mostly for 'journal' purposes, and to keep mental thought processes in line. I take a macro view to trading. Lots of charts from different platforms. I learned to trade watching price action at the tick level. There will be platform code posted time to time also.

-TradingBlox
-Ninjatrader 7 or 8
-ThinkorSwim

I subscribe to daily stock/futures EOD updates, to test out longer timeframe systems. I use Pinnacle and CSI. Most of my time is focused on automated trading.

Regards,
Chris

Simplest thing is to look for the long term trend (UP), and retracement(Down), and break of the retracement trend, break is signified by trendline break or resistance break. Bonds look like they want to resume long term trend up.

Most macro markets have been trading sideways since the US election. Breakout players on longer term timeframes getting hit on false breakouts.
