One of the most effective "screeners" I've seen is belonging to a chat room where everyone trades the same approach(es), are committed to working...
If you're using multiple large(r) monitors, doesn't the laptop being front & center kinda get in the way?
This may be off on a tangent from where the OP's focus was... but the tools of the trade will probably be very cool. Holographic or volumetric...
Sorry, but I don't feel I'm qualified to truly teach or mentor anyone. When I post here, I'm just trying to offer some input, ideas for...
Agree re: stats! But one thing I quickly discovered as well. If you're either taking invalid setups (not according to plan), and/or don't have a...
Uptrends and downtrends both typically experience temporary moves in the opposite direction, right? Pullbacks in an uptrend by definition are...
Please consider my post from Saturday. It looks like you did almost everything I kinda cautioned against. Your entry: 1. Was far away from the...
Assume you're posting this as an example of the original issue you mentioned? If so: Very tough if you entered on that 5' pullback buy setup --...
If you're suggesting that trading sideways ranges is "my" world -- it's not, I don't trade them. But I have seen a few traders appear to...
Meaning you don't try to somehow buy at/near the *absolute* lows (say, by throwing out a bid below current price)... but rather, you typically...
Don't many trend traders look for minor support in uptrends to buy pullbacks, and minor resistance in downtrends to short rallies? I do, in...

The successful traders I described would never trade say, a 5' bar pattern in isolation, without any other context. But most of that context came...
Well, I never said trading was "that simple." But from a factual standpoint (to the best of my knowledge -- I've only seen some of their...
Many of the various debates here in the forums seem to be based largely on semantic arguments, and I'd like to add my 2 cents (or less) here:...
Curious -- why do you say that? I know of more than several examples who are pretty "public"/"transparent" with their trading, and who more or...
Using a stop loss of 3% seems pretty arbitrary, unless I guess your stats support that. Consider using price action, setup pattern and technical...
IMO, the word “indicator” in trading is more “properly”/“purely" defined as a derivative of price, volume and time, which are pure data. Since...
Have you considered only trading stocks that are "one-off"/"in play"? For example, stocks that are gapping, trending strongly, unusually high...
One of the keys I seem to have noticed is that the majority of successful traders at some point found a structured educational program (or at...
