The Best Interval For Day Trading Charts is ZERO Minutes!

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under stock trading | 21 Comments »

I receive this question a lot: “What’s the best interval for day trading charts?” In today’s video I not only answer that, but give, what may be to some, a very surprising answer: Don’t use intervals of ANY minutes!

    The author of this video mentioned using TICK charts but I am told different Data providers do not provide proper TICK data. I use (IB) interactive brokers and was told they are bad for TICK chart data. Does any one know. Also,I am curious why he uses 200 ticks for his time frame. Please do not comment unless you make sense. Thanks

    your an idiot. you have no idea what your talking about. my colleague generated 2.5m TRADING the markets these past 6 months so take your piker and read another warren buffet book. and btw the markets HFT is based on tech analysis and so charts are more so important today then they ever were. there are no rich daytraders, no. there are those who overcome the adverse and then there’s you.

    I disagree. The best interval for trading US equities is the weekly chart but thats for me and not you. If you want to make money and want to learn listen to Barry. Good Luck and take care.

    actually friend it is a lot easier than it looks. it’s just that Wall Street thugs hope you think it’s difficult.

    good luck, and by the way luck has nothing to do with the trade

    Hillarious. While all you moronic chart looking, day tradering, waste of useless time daytraders are in and out of markets like morphine addicts, I bought the most boring stock on the stock exchange in 6 months ago, scotts miracle grow (SMG) and more than doubled my money. I bought 2 stocks with my whole account, WYNN and SMG when the market collapsed, and my account is up 130%. I made about 350 grand. So how much have you day traders made?? You guys are wasting your time.

    Dont all of you …
    Dont all of you idiots understand that charts are pretty much useless. Even if they worked slightly, or even more than slightly, after all the commissions you pay and short term cap gains taxes(if you have any) your back to square one. Investing is about investing in a solid business. Charts are totally useless because even if you are right, psychologically people always shake out even though their stop isnt hit. Its useless. There are no rich daytraders. Wake up people.

    I think 8 & 13 moving avrage interception and 50 moving avrage and 50 exp. Avrage interception would be ideal for day trading (with MACD indicator)
