A revisit of bias. Rearden asked a couple of months ago about bias. I told him how I get it (which isn't helpful to him) and gave him some examples of things to use for your own. (sorry, can't remember the post, it's somewhere between 945 and here). ...

Thanks Rearden. Here were my trades for the week. The first was an idea #1. Usually wouldn't bother showing for reasons I have previously mentioned, but I am showing it as a continuation of the point I was talking about above with biker. Have good ...

For the purposes of this thread I would call this an idea #1 for this type of trading. As long as you can be consistent with that thought process and apply it equally among each opportunity, that is the goal. image You traded short off of what I ...

Also Biker, review posts 945 and 1079.

I'll give you some comments, but I'd like Rearden and FXO to show you the charts (so you can have some practice - learn it, show it, do it type thing). My comments: This would be an aggressive approach, which is ok, but it's not really ok unless you ...

No problem. "If I understand the main swing which is in play and movement of price" -- I think the exercise of following the rules and just taking every S50 and Pivot trade and not closing for loss until price changes direction via the swings will ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Nothing doing today on idea #2 or #3 if using conservative swings. Still in an up move if you are using these more relaxed swings, which I prefer in this range. We'll see if we get a chance to go short this week on a #2 or #3. The concern remains on ...

Bias: South. Looking to sell EU. Please see previous post. Not just for Rearden. Think it could be helpful to anyone stopping by.

Gejordan Weekly Journal

I am not sure what else you would want to know about pivots other than their history and how to calculate them. Not the question you want to ask the guy trying to convince you that trading is about seeing the chart (movement of price) and not ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Not seeing much in here. Hopefully the range didn't get you. Even if it did, you could have been trading from the bottom of it getting back any losses or having a nice week being patient trading from it. Be back Sunday night with a new bias for next ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

My notes said I wanted to be patient that week. Yes, it is similar and when I went to sleep, why would I want to risk something if I don't have to. I'd rather take one really good trade and miss some, than take everything. Which is the story of this ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Good, more excitement about the details than the trade. As the visual shows, what looks like an exit is a nice entry if we miss the details.

Gejordan Weekly Journal

This is the place. The more honest everyone is about their journey in trading the more it encourages others to do the same. Also, it puts you at an immediate advantage when trying to get profitable. Here is a suggestion I gave Mikepip back in post ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Rearden... since you are working on mastering this... will you take this question? Yes, that has been the common theme in every thread I've done. I put out a set of rules and then generally sit back and watch all the ways the mind convinces people ...

No Bias week. Following the move.

Gejordan Weekly Journal

I'm not sure you picked a side. I was looking for your second take as the answer. In comparison, it is tougher now than our standard position while price is moving. As we make new highs/lows, it's real easy and clear how price is moving and where we ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Now, part 2. Look at todays action and think about the last 2 days. Do you think I would consider where price sits now a standard/easy situation or a tougher situation for this type of trading?

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Very good. The more you speak in those terms, the more likely you'll keep your trading simple and recognize similarity and difference in the future. Yes, in that one the s50 was below and as it moved up and met price at a pause... price found ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

No, I was going for something related to the simple50. Analyze it the way you should trade it. What was the bias back then vs this week. Was price moving with bias? Where are my trading areas. How does this relate to this topic?

900+ pip april 700+ pip may 650+ pip June One pair, EU. Deciding what I would do on Sunday and then taking action at the end of each trading day and when I wake up. In review, that's looking at the chart twice a day. Took a vacation, closed trades ...
