These are so useful
How do I change my Moving average exponential from the default 9,0?
Nvm I see. That leads to how do I know where to set them?
@Nathan_casey Thanks! Go to Studies, Edit Studies and it should pop up. Then just change the values.

@Hiflier Because I was losing a lot because I was making random trades and I had no discipline or strategy. I've fixed my discipline so now I'm working on my strategy which is only focusing on two setups long on uptrending stocks only and only buying on dips. So the last 4 weeks I've been studying charts like crazy hence all the posts. I'm ready to trade with real money again like this morning when I wanted to buy BLFS but hesitated so tomorrow I'm going to trust my setup and just go for it and
Awesome, good luck!!

@A_Moving_Target No it's not a high of day because you're buying on the dip. If you're buying high of day breakout that's another strategy. So breakout of the flag is a dip buy using the last high as the breakout level.
@A_Moving_Target So exactly what Tim did because he loves dip buying. :)
@A_Moving_Target Sorry should've been more clear. The flat top breakout is the high of day breakout strategy and the breakout of the triangle or pennant if a dip buy.
@Chongette32 I see now. It's almost like, even if it's not a NHOD, it's the when the stop breaks out of the current...range that it was in that's the sign of a breakout. I get it now. Thank you!!!

@petwyt1218 The simpler the better. Drawing these trend lines stop me from trading random stocks with random patterns.
which is what I've done in the past
Ya Ive tried using the MACD and RSI but I find they're only useful for large cap stocks and ETFs that dont move very much, like SPXL and NUGT. I think the triangle patterns are good but the ABCD doesn't seem to be working for me because I try to buy at C at that higher low and it always ends up fading the rest of the day for me. I think I just have bad luck
@petwyt1218 With the abcd pattern were you buying stocks that had high volume and were really moving? Like with $GALE even though Tim didn't like people buying it, it was trading heavily on high volume and made abcd patterns on the 6/29 and 6/30.

just sold @ 0.94 avg, so not too shabby.
I'm watching How to Make Millions now. Trust me there is so much you need to know. I'm new too.
I did go to Help > Trading on Phone app and drop a message and they responded/acknowledged issue within 15 minutes. I was in a similar position last week and had to take cut in profits.
did you have a stop loss or limit sell order in place? regardless if the app crashed the buy/sell order will still execute if it was placed before the app crashed ie. the previous day. Also dont be afraid to move up your stop loss when you are up more than 4% so even if the price begins to decline the stop loss will trigger and will lock in the previously gained profits creating a no loss trade




I had similar experience with XNY yesterday and OPGN today. We fall and we learn. Good luck.
