John, thanks for the reply. I have been at this 3 years or so now, and use
mainly Advanced GET and MSWIN. I also have AIQ and tried OT for a while. I
am one of the guys who started the new Gann group on the Australian site,
and am just embarking on learning Gann trader 2.1..
While I am adept at much of what MetaStock and GET can do, I am still a
beginner. I say this because while I can manage a trade well once I have
entered it [I trade off weekly and daily bars, and may stay in for a year or
more- my only active issue right now id CSCO which I have held for well over
a year], so long as the time horizon is relatively long, I have nothing like
a "trading system." I can scan and explore and come up with candidates
based on TA alone or TA and FA [I used ProSearch quite a bit and liked it],
and I can select exit criteria. But I cannot do well with entry criteria
when I am looking at a lot of issues as candidates, I don't pay attention to
reward-risk except very imperfectly, and I have other faults too numerous to
mention. One big one is a lack of practical understanding of options.
What I see on this thread, and why I commented to you, is people who know
how to trade day in and day out- who have trading systems annealed and
tempered by experience and market savvy. This is the level I aspire to.
I've got my head down and am facing into the wind. people like you and many
others will help keep me on the right course.
