  3. 2 things.

    1. where are the rest of your trades? no way you traded like this then just stopped cold turkey forn the entire day.

    2. where is your full day chart with your buys and sells. what platform are you using? you should be able to post a chart with connecting lines of your buys and sells.

    what plarform?

  4. we dont need much info but acct size matters..
    i will say losing is ok but putting 6 longs just to exit them like you did was odd and later you bought 1 and exited then bought another 1 just a tick away all very rapidly? your view changed that quickk

    May I challenge that post and - as you said, you never read Al Brooks books - ask what, you did read =)

    I know that question is scorned, as it often implies a fast hope to find an easy solution. Nevertheless, for willing ones to read and backtest, what would be your recommendation bookwise?

    with all due respect, the same question reaches out to you =) For the willing ones to learn the difference of that market types described, a bookwise recommendation is appreciated.
    As mentioned before, the intention is not to find a fasttrack, but to build the own knowledge on a sound foundation.

    I have not read many trading books. The ones I have read were read a long time ago and are listed below. They all provided me with information I needed at the time. Nowadays, information is more easily available on the internet, i.e., there are candlestick cheat sheets with every pattern under the sun and what they imply. From my testing, by themselves, candlestick patterns don't provide a statistical advantage. They need to be used with some other overriding support & resistance and therefore are just givers of confidence.

    If they don't already have a basic understanding I think all traders would benefit from almost any book on auction market theory and basic statistics.

    I really appreciate your effort and the contribution - thank you. I didnt ask for any specific in the internet, as for me it feels super easy to get lost there

  10. an introduction about yourself......
    I graduated in maths with finance many many years ago, have been a G7 spot inter desk dealer / trader for a bank, worked a bit on the FXO desk in RBS (vanilla & excotic), prop trader in Hang Seng future and an execution trader for an oil company. But these are like decades ago tho

    If you search up the poster NoDoji.......
    Any more detail or link so I can dig in for more pls?

    With back-testing/back-checking you can maybe do 5 days in the same amount of time. So, 35 sessions over the course of a week. 140 sessions.

    Sure! Its not a lot to work and I will do it
