As for posting pictures in Windows the best way is: Ctrl+Print Screen, then open Paint and Ctrl+V there. Then save this pasted image in a .jpg or .png format (by using Ctrl+S). Hope it helps.
Best way is using specialising software for example screenrifle /it is for free/. Advantage of it is that you can simple take picture of just of part screen so you do not need resize it, etc.
Yes sure, specialized software is the best way. I meant what is the easiest way in absense of any software.
Hello YH, sorry to say when I really join this tread activly around 80 pages ago, that I do PA, but had no sense of direction, and levels etc.. PA yes, but priority should the sense of direction shown on the higher TF, but I ended up foucsing on Divengences, which as YH points out, it's not the key.. Sense of Direction, High TF channels, movement, and Levels; and implement PA as it develops (and in relation to SOD.... Played PA as a long/short game, while it is a long/short game within another long/short game (major direct, SOD).. suddenly felt that in da 1min PA, the exact entry is not as important, as long as you as long as you can keep it low risk.. YH, looking at the charts posted last night, suddenly have a feeling in my head, what if tomorrow it open high, and goes up? a reversal PA in 1min TF might show up on around Friday's high level.. or it might just sail pass previous' high of day, and go to the channel, and I expect to see that hitting the channle tops, and show a reversal PA, but before, there will be signals from 1min TF to go continuation.... And it keeps going in my head, is it normal? Tomorrow, will see how da index goes, and applies what I learn...
1/10 Will, I already know Monday's game plan. That was my challange to you and others. Tell me what will happen and how you will attack it. No what if's
I'm looking at something like this for the next session......1.56 as a baseline...possible down to 1.5540 area but working back up to major trendlines at 1.56 and clear sailing up from there....maybe to 1.5765...where it hits another strong trendline. ...then back down to play in a zone between 157 and 156 (15690-15625)....and maybe closing around ....15670 on the high side and 15600 on the low side. .... and of course....I could be totally wrong....lol....but it looks like a uptrend time. now upon second look....I might be more conservative since there is still some down strength to the recent days.... the sideways movements are still evident....so I might say ...uptrend continues.... maybe to 157 top but probably closer to 15650 area...15675 and hanging around 15620-60 for the play zone.
willeung a piece of advice from one who was starting this way of trading practically from zero a few months ago: it takes time to incorporate everything talked about in this thread. I went back allready two times over this whole thread (when it was at around 230 pages) and looking at all the trades on the five minute charts. It takes even more time to incorporate all the time-frames, screentime is the only help here. From my own point of view I found out you get insight, then you stay a while on the same plateau and you get new insight with another burst. To my dismay I have even found out there were times when there were minor setbacks to the previous stages, when I had even forgotten things I had allready learned, but then I had to 'regroup' and think through what I had allready learned and went back up the level rather quickly. Progress is a mix between conscious thinking of what I'm doing and sometimes finding out I'm unconsciously incorporating things I have learned along the way. I'm not there yet where I want to be but overall find a steady improvement and steady and rather consistant profibility. It seems a good idea to first have something like five charts up and seeing them move all at the same time (doing manual backtesting doesn't quite give the same effect). PA really tells the most. I have added CCI and stochastics but I have to admit I'm still at the stage where it's hard to see if they really add value for me at this moment in real-time. But I think this too is just a mather of time. Overall I found my 'feel' for the market has greatly improved (BTW Yoohoo, I got Blink and it's really a great read, thanks for that advice) and I sometimes 'see' the way the market is going to go way beforehand (even to the point where I'm making the mistake of trying to anticipate this way too early without backup of the charts of the 'present', I know this sounds strange, but it does happen). I'm really giving my self severall more months to improve myself to some better levels of trading and see this as a proces with even more levels beyond that stage (probably buying new pc and more monitors at that stage). Discipline and hard stoplosses still remain vitally important as I found out in the beginning of trying this. Maybe just another note: I have been trying the same way of trading on the NQ it seems to work there too, but personally found it harder with less clearer signals and more noise, so maybe you might consider trading eur/usd. Just my personal points of view of trying to trade with PA over the last few months. Good luck.
