...this means that this thread should return to an exclusive focus (its original focus) on 6 things primarily: -BTTT-Classic position trades using daily charts -BTTT-MAX trades based on hourly charts -continued education in technical analysis -general expressions of support for all thread contributors regardless of trading styles, experience, etc. -OT humor of the highest quality -and OT humor of the basest quality <ggg> In my experience, EOD and hourly trades often turn into daytrades, due to market conditions, personal preference, profit targets, stops, etc. (hence the Sam-inspired moniker, "BTTT-Chicken" trades)...and that, of course, is perfectly allowed. What we want to avoid here (and instead, post on the new thread) are the "moving now" sorts of calls that are intended exclusively for quick opportunity trades. Too frequently (and I am to blame as much for these as anyone), these trades do not fit the "systems" we have all been working on here (there is, really, no single BTTT system, but rather a variety of systems, all based on common indicators) and hence have detracted from what I think has developed into a very intelligent level of discussion. I'm hoping this new move will benefit this thread and its regular readers/contributors. No promises are being made here for the success or continuance of the new thread. And I certainly will keep posting Classic and MAX calls on this thread...my "primary" thread. TC
