At first i thought i needed to trade differently if i wanted to get into market indeces. Which is true. But now im thinking that not requiring a large expansion bar, volume and consolidaiton might be an overall improvement, no matter what im trading. It would make everything simpler. Looking for something thats in a solid trend with no resistance would summarize what im doing. Ill keep looking into it. If i stop requiring some of my usual signals, then i would have to decide which assets to focus on. Futures, stocks, etf's......all? Some assets im watching on the daily chart: EWA, EWQ, EWO, ALJ, ALXN, /GC, /HE, /HO, /QM.
