I do think I am a little oversensitive, I am old. Does that mean I am stupid?, Perhaps, maybe I am successful enough to be able to ignore unpleasant people. I really don't care that much about money anymore, because after lot of years in this market I know It is not all about the Benjies. I trade because I love the intellectual challenge and I started this thread because part of that challenge is still unresolved, and I would like to collaborate in here to find a solution to the rest of the puzzle.
The above pic is fiction. Cut from whole cloth. Just post a screenshot here. ----------------------------------------------------------- No legitimate trader would propose to only post their losing days as it's something a fraudster would attempt. "Look, I haven't posted for weeks! I am the greatest trader alive!" And the 5-second frequency. Literally there is zero probability that you are profitable while marketable on 5s frequency in futures. No way you're beating the spread and comms. I wouldn't believe if if you were an exchange RMM in futures, or Doug Cifu claiming it on this board.
go volunteer at a nursing home and work on puzzles in collaboration, I’m sure that will be a challenge. your goals sound weak minded
I had a losing day yesterday, accumulating during a range, unlike Scatty who only does it at the VERY BOTTOM!
I believe it is right above a major moving average on a longer time frame, but I started buying at the top of that box, hoping it would keep going up. When you see the V, there is usually a second impulse wave after the box:
So what you are trying to do is accumulate during the chop with the expectation of a continuation here. I assume you have a system written to identify the chop areas that are followed by a continuation from those that are followed by a trend reversal? I am not fond of the use of the word "hope" in trading, I "expect" is the one I suggest, if the expectation is based on the stats of that specific pattern, according to your own data.
