I programmed RavenQuote (http://www.ravenquote.com, a program that is identical to QCharts, uses the same datafeed, but allows one to program alerts on indicators also) to do it for me. I use ADX to figure out whether we're trending or not and then use either stochastics or moving averages to find the breakouts across multiple time frames. I use the longer timeframe to find the trend and the shorter time frames for the breakouts. I then ignore the whole thing and fly by the seat of my pants. <g> Oh and I sometimes use point and figure charts from my xocharts.com site but not lately (point and figure is trend following, and lately buying breakouts gets you killed) :) -A

LG: "I have been using all of the above for some time. I use multiple time frame ADX, MACD, Stoch indicators...coupled with chart patterns, trend lines, horizontal price action points and retrace levels. All analyzed in real time in my black box...well err, aahh, really just in my head real time...LOL" With traders like you guys, I feel like an underachiever!!! I guess I'd quit trading all together. Ain't got no chance against you guys!!! <g> LG: "Do you use a complex combining math formula or do you combine through real time mental interpretation, as do I?" and now you tell me that there are imaginary numbers in the stock market!!! YHOO^2 = -1 ??? or so it seems sometimes <ggg>
