Stochastics both slow, medium and short term. My entries are very dependent on my fast settings and then I use the mid and long term for gauging how long to ride them if they are doing well. I use MACD as described there for Mo Mo measurement and Chandes. I have my own indicator that I built some years ago that is a blending of pretty much ordinary stuff but acts as a smoother entry and exit signal and doesn't whip saw as much. I use mostly formations to pick what I will trade and for gauging future movement then rely heavily on the candlesticks to give me a hard signal on when to jump in or get out. Don is convincing me to use the ADX, DMI a bit more as I only used it to backup my other stuff but am now realizing it does help out in trend reads. For Indexes, I have a whole mix of stuff I use besides the normal junk. Mostly charts of their own gauging advance decline, new highs vs lows, and some proprietary stuff. My main confusion factor that drives Don nuts is although I am a short term trader, I view a position in the light of what if I have to hold it, would I be comfortable? I therefore tend to give a lot of weight to FA. I didn't play the internets because I knew it was a stupid pyramid scheme. I could have made a lot of cash riding the wave on short term trading but I knew someday it would end and I could get caught holding the bag. Same with the biotech craziness, the B2Bs and B2Cs etc. This is also why I didn't like NTAp hate QCOM etc. I would rather trade teenies on a good stock that is over sold than trade Mo Mo on a fluff pipe dream stock. I could get more points on the Mo Mo but it could also bite me if everyone wakes up to reality at some point. With the oversold value play, you can always be surprised if others discover it and the teenie trade turns out to be a big one. <g> ADM, IP, GP are all good examples. Good Luck, Lee
