  3. 1 min chart of the above with entry and exit linked.

  4. Most traders would rather work on finding a better entry/exit/ management etc than work on fixing themselves, IMO.

    looking at CL 12/13

    excellent entries just after noon there, I passed on those since I tend to omit midday, but they had really nice follow thru, I see you're scalping?...

  6. Actually the net result for the day was bad.
    Green lines indicate a profitable trade and red lines indicates unprofitable trades.
    I find myself swinging between periods of full discipline to no discipline at all.
    Yes I am scalping even though the intent is to keep trades longer.

    I guess I was tired, I missed the colors somehow.

    I've been extremely cautious lately, trying to hold on to recent best gains I've had in 19 months, I need to keep this green bar, badly, on P&L.

    Are you trading live in CL? Are you trading other contracts? I used QM for oil, I keep a small balance in account and can't afford CL, yet.

    ...read back a bit, you're still sim...

    CL made a nice measured move there after CPI news, looks like some profit taking going on now, I don't trade news.

  9. QM has very low trading volume so I would not trade it.
