    then why are you here......there is no analyst or professional educator in the world who publishes income and broker's statements.

    there is only one analyst and trader that i know of,and i read my first technical analysis book in 1994, that declares his trades as he makes them, to his subscribers and that is David Fuller.

    you may like to see some things and i also like to receive a million usd.....best of luck to us both

    are you assuming that if some one makes money, you too can make money using his system/ method.
    you have to try it out and test and see it if it works for you.

    since you have to try out a winner's ideas in any case, you can try out a losers method because that may work for you.
    nobody in real life goes around with proof of income taped to their shirt just to make people trust them.

    ok i will give you one totally fresh. my way of trading.

    in trading there is only one thing you need to know to make good trades: counter trend strength.

    that is what i identify and, to be more precise, that is what i have learnt to identify.

    Apart from Al Brooks, i know of no book who has who has even mentioned it: since i cannot read all books it is possible that someone has done that.

    Do not ask me to explain how i do that since i do not want to bother....i am making money and that is all i want.

    all traders ask: how do i make money...that is a wrong question to ask.

    the correct one:how do i understand the market?

    that no one even wants to learn because it will take too long.

    now why do 95% of traders lose money?

  5. I do the same. I don't want or desire continuation trades unless I find it using the DMI. Other than that it's counter trend trying to spot a full on reversal. I keep up with short info and dark pool. Other than that, it's all compression expansion. Be well.

  6. MarkBrown,

    Attached is a 3 minutue and 1day chart.

    I respect what you are saying. I get caught up in the mircro momentum moves, because those moves come with less risk (smaller stop loss) per price action at the momentum.

    When I am trading my 3 min chart, I have no time or I do not see the reason to even look at the day chart. Maybe the 1 hour chart every other hour.

    I am NOT a consistent profit trader, but I think looking at the day chart is good, but when I am in the trenches on the 3 minute chart, there is no use for the day chart for me, besides a longterm resistance or support area.

    This is why traders get tangled up in the micro momentum moves, that is where the money is.

  7. padutrader,

    there is truth to the counter trend trading. One advantage of counter trend trading is you avoiding the "noisy" (many support price action in the middle of a big range.) price action.

    you have misunderstood me

    you have to judge counter trend strength to know if the reversal is close by

    True. Most reversals fail. Countertrend strength is a good indicator if the Reversal will likely be successful or fail. For instance in a bear trend you get a pb. How strong is that PB? You want it to break some resistance areas..such as MA’s swing highs.. ranges...the more the better..then test the extreme low then resume as a LH or HL MTR.

  10. padutrader,
    Specifically explain what you mean by "judge counter trend strength" with good examples please.

    What does strength mean?

    For example is that big green bar counter trend strength?
