Redshak, I agree with your perspective about trading alone. After marriage things changed for me, but doing it alone is a hard course. There are so many things to deal with in trading, and a SUPPORT base can be a wonderful asset. I suspect this may be why smart money, which has a large support base of counselors and trading coaches tend to outshine retail traders. Also I like your trading structure. The only things I do different is on FOMC news is trade much earlier, and for longer periods, as some days FOMC leads to all day trends. I've used range and renko's, but my perspective is tick charts which are driven by momentum tend to pick up sentiment and emotion earlier. (but just my perspective) I noticed you are using volume for signals. I also use volume for signals, but only volume based charts. I wish you well in your pursuit of a quality trading support team.
Kudos to you @Redshak ! Not many people on ET can describe their trading in just a few sentences. You are one of them! My usual signals come from bar-by-bar analysis of volume and price. I use time-based (3 or 5 minute) charts. Initial price targets come from sloped (dynamic) channel (trend) lines, and/or naked point-of-control levels from volume profile. In scalp mode, I use unrelated small, fixed targets. Thanks too for the unintended reminder of protonmail. I haven't used them since public beta. They appear to be thriving!! I'll take a deeper look soon. Good trades to you.
That was one of the most straightforward, transparent invitations I have ever seen here on ET. If I were available for the times you suggest, I would certainly join your group. Good luck and don't forget to keep us posted on your progress.
