Broken Price Channels are great trading opportunities, here’s why

–          Why keep a broken channel on the chart?
o    Do we care the # of touches for a channel?
o    Why not add a new trend line?
–          Entries for the Fast Track Method
o    We use LIMIT orders for the Fast Track
o    Prepare for the trade ahead of time, so you don’t need to react that urgently just before the trade takes off.
–          Which timeframes for the Dollar?
o    I use the same timeframes for the dollar as I do any other market
o    89/34/21/13/etc
o    Swing traders will use the 34r DX
o    Day Traders use the 13r DX
o    Scalpers will use the 8r DX
   
–          Big Money Trigger Lines (profit targets)
o    IS NOT OUR ENTRY, it’s our profit target
o    We expect price to be drawn to the BMT
–          Different prices on the time and sales window?  Does it happen?
o    We don’t expect to ALWAYS have the same price data as another trader
o    Wireless connection, firewall, slow processor cpu, anything that slows down my ability to process data as it comes in off the web
   
         
–          Momentum that is overbought on 21r, and oversold on the 13r, what do you do?
o    What If the 13r is overbought and the 21r is oversold
o    Conflicting signals, its best to trade I the direction of the SLOWER TIMEFRAME
    
–          Why not look at other markets when the day is slow like this?
