Rudy - I've borrowed CG's hat while he's still having his morning siesta to make this 2B pullback entry crystal clear, because there's been a lot of confusion about it over the years H, CG & I have traded together. Please note : no Elliot Wave ...

I have always found that when someone very close dies, it is as if the veil between this world and the next is pulled so very tight that by just leaning gently forward, I feel completely together with (s)he who has departed, in spirit if not in ...

I Trade without losses

Only 308 ticks from two trades ? Tsk,tsk, must try harder

Yep... as a general rule, I try not to get too upset missing the first 100+ swing up, it's when I get stopped out for +7 just as it takes off again that I start to feel upset (btw, my stop doesn't move to b/e+ now till +20 !) Very hard ...

Thanks, turnip - I've traded "normal" length range bars off & on for many years - say 5 ticks or so, which I think is what rockyp mostly does - but this is the first time I've traded such large ones... with specific intent !

Bravo Please post a chart - it's really helpful to see others' trades. I know what you mean about commissions, especially as it's almost a full tick (I have traded FDAX a lot, where the commission adds up to only about 30% of the tick value; ...

As you can see, we're trading the NQ futures contract here, which you cannot trade with a forex broker, so you need a futures account and platform... and also a larger account, as the NQ tick size (a tick is the futures term for pip, ie. the minimum ...

Maybe there was no collusion, dave - we'll just have to give you the benefit of the doubt - but I like those Mack-style channel lines on the 1200 tick chart .

No trades from me, having set up my single contract 20 tick range chart; may just observe all week, as it has a very different feel. One nice entry (so easy after the fact ) : image

I agree with your trend comments, clemmo, but surely the carry trade thing (with which I have no practical experience) is in one direction only, eg. in the days of the yen carry trade, you needed to be Long USDJPY, as short had a negative carry cost ...

SAFE - KISS

Just messing around with my chart - as one does - 'might try trading off a 20 tick range chart next week (single lot). Hey, Don Corleone - it may rhyme with quiche, but it's spelt capisce... Until next week ! Haha.. the blonde : it was a LONG time ...

Just a comment on these big swings/volatility : I wonder if it's not a better idea to trade a 1 lot with bigger targets and stops (thinking of your recent chart discussion, CG) ? Perhaps I will try next week. (missed my 6852.25 fill by 3 ticks just ...

So I think 50 was the key H1 level, waiting for a pullback as shown... will only give it one point (but if it would then bounce right on the 50 would re-enter)... but the train looks like it has left without me. Might trade the Close again... ...

I'd like to say that I am SO in touch with my feelings today that I have not made a single losing trade <arms folded> ! (minor issue is that I have not actually made any trades, as my hands seem to be superglued to my chair.... ...

Mornin’, CG, I’m sitting in an Amsterdam cafe enjoying a salmon bagel & cappuccino, studying your interesting charts (I may sometimes mock them, but I ALWAYS study them ). ... following up on the psychology theme, I’m going to start recording my ...

I often note that a 20 tick or larger stop, then hold trade to target with no stop to b/e would have given by far the best session result... but also by far the hardest psychologically, as sometimes you’ll have a really bad day. Optimal trade ...

Sort of ... I take note of H1 Closes, especially where there is a confluence, & use mostly for target exit levels. I take trades from both fast charts - sometimes one shows a clear setup that simply does not appear on the other -but recently ...
