    From a pure technical price action point of view, why did price find support where it did at 9:47am and 10:53am?

  2. The only thing I see are the peaks and troughs that I have circled but if you would not have mentioned those 2 times, I don't think I would have found the circled areas of significance.

    What am I missing?

    PS They are in a 50% retracement area (give or take) but it depends on where you take your extremes from.

    Yes, that's it. Part of my prep before trading is to draw TLs on the 5-min chart from the overnight session. These become areas of interest for initiating positions and taking profit on trades I'm in. When price approaches these key levels, I focus on the 1-min chart for precision entries and exits.

    The chart you posted today doesn't appear random at all.

    To me, the crux of a random entry system would be the time of entry to ensure that trader bias isn't involved. Something like put on a trade every N minutes (unless still in a trade.) Once a trade is closed, the N minute interval resumes.

    Also, are profit targets a certain multiple of the stop loss?

    What determines whether to go long or short?

  10. I stopped after 500 consecutive tails.
    Not realistic in my mind.

    Gabe

    Couldn't resist.
    1000 consecutive tails.
