All sim today. 6 trades, 4 winners and 2 losers for +52 ticks. I took 2 trades using the daunting 'Swing Break Out' play. Gotta kick the training...
Thanks for the chart. I'll Skype you later today and go over it with you if that's OK. Right now I'm reloading software on my computer. I...
. I guess I've been burned too many times where price will run up 3 - 4 ticks past the last swing high, then retrace beyond my stop. Maybe I'm...
This is a lesson I've learned several times now :)
84.95 is the top of the 1 min bar at 08:27 PST. I waited for the surge past the 84.85 double top on the 08:15/08:20 bars (where I had a failed...
Thanks for the input, and yes, I would welcome your charts and/or any other helpful advise. No doubt I'm not seeing the forest, but if I...
I got 3 losing trades in a row, so I switched to sim. I would also switch to sim if I hit my daily loss.
Got a little chopped up today. Overall I came out +4 ticks, but I didn't start making money until I switched to sim, so I lost where it counted....
Hmmm ... maybe after being able to read it.
Interesting you should say that. I've just spent the past 5 hours programming and analyzing an NT strategy (a simple shooting star), playing with...
Oh, I'm not giving up. I'm still putting in many, many hours per day on this. I have been working through those videos, and some I've found...
Just a quick update on what I've been up to. I was out of town on Monday, and yesterday I had to deal with a plumbing problem. Today has...
It's selected on the laptop, but not my office computer. I didn't think about changing the sim color, I just left it at the default. I think I'll...
Thanks, I'll check it out. Had a bit of a technical snafu on Friday. I have been programming NT from my laptop at home, and I had left it...
Tried to focus on entries today. There were a lot of mismanaged exits, but I'll worry about that another day. Trade #1 Price pushed up through...
Yes, this was hard. The biggest problem for me was the amount of money I'm willing to risk per trade was smaller than the bars on the 5 minute...
Surprising how oil can trend so strongly and all of my trades that were with-trend were losers. It was the whippy-ness and tight stops that mostly...
Understood. I was just saying that even in a perfect world I wouldn't have done that well today. If it sounded like I was complaining or had...
It warms my heart to know this is possible!! There were two winning trades I didn't take because of a lack of confidence in the setup (not enough...
The recent overnight trend was up, so I was looking for long trades. However, the long wicks on the candles didn't inspire confidence in me....
