  1. 6 trades - 7 pts

    1.) Winner
    2.) Loser– 1 tick
    3.) Winner
    4.) Loser – full stop
    5.) Loser – 1 tick
    6.) Loser – full stop

    I was struggling to find and entry from 12:30 on, when I finally found one I ended up getting taken out by 1 tick. Frustrating.
    :mad:


    FYI – Today I used 5k for entries (new for me) and a 2k for exits (started this last week).

  3. If you dont mind, i just wanted to point something out on your trades.

    First one was excellent..

    2nd one ( the aqua circle I noted it) if you notice, that initial resistance line, BECOMES a form of support....... So if nothing else, its a time to cautious...

    Also, if you notice..., you shorted after it formed a higher low, which shows possible strength...

    the other short was iffy (11:08) depending on how you looked at it..... I saw chop, so might have held off......

    The one thing I like about chop, is sometimes big moves (like today) emerge once the market tightens up and picks its direction...

    Again, I am just trying to help here, not nitpick on your trades... I feel like writing and discussing ideas/critiquing actually helps me reinforce my learnings....

  4. crap, I forgot to include my interpretation of your chart...

    also, notice how after the chop (2nd aqua circle), the market drops, attempts to test the support (which has now become resistance) and then drops, allowing you to draw that trendline..

  5. here..



    also... How do you get those vertical lines to designate your trades in TS?

  6. Thank for your observation and suggestions. :)

    I enter the vertical lines manually. Go to your drawing menu, i think it is listed before or after horizontal line.

  10. jmonday

    jmonday


    very interesting....what platform is that?

    i thought he hated time based bars (except for entry)

    also you'd think not to go long as it approaches HOD.....

    not sure what to think overall, looks like he has changed his tactics since few months ago....
