I agree switching chart periods can be distracting & is generally not to be recommended, but I find I naturally change & experiment as the months flow by. I like to know where the H1 SR areas are & I also switch between volume, tick & range, all ...

Mistake # 1 : DO NOT start marking up chart while session underway; Mistake # 2 : if feeling rattled by jumpy market, stand up and take some deep breaths, do a few T'ai Chi moves, regain focus. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, START VAPING* image (* only ...

Well-spotted, Lawnman - my understanding is that we can't tell till tomorrow's bar : if it retraces up, then we just move the trendline to today's Low; if it heads south, then go short. Ralffe ?

Well, wasn't a big one, but just enough to turn my ($50) day to +$86.52 net of comms - I had almost $60 commissions today. I made the screenshot just before the second contract stopped out : image PS. Dig the psychedelic colour scheme

It would indeed be really helpful if the SC users would please turn on their chart trade markers.

I just marked up my chart showing the three good trades I missed plus the five b/e trades I took (net -2), but NinjaTrader crashed as I took the image (most unusual), so I lost it & can't be bothered to recreate my work of unsuccessful art. Hope ...

To double check, you mean 1:1 RR, so if 300 pip stop, then 300 pip target ?

Ralffe's chart is slightly different to yours, so I think his entry shown in Post # 94 is exactly according to his rule.

Bravo & forgive me, CG : your understanding of and ability to describe chart structure is way better than mine

Too many i-Waves

What I do in those situations, cap, is simply move the Limit entry lower (for a long) to a "stop acceptable" position - if it fills, it fills (they quite often do).

Now he tells me... looks like I got a little confused about 7 mins after the open, wouldn't you say.. I was doing some CG-style "stabbing in the dark"...... 5 trades, only the last one did better than +2 ($305 less 10 ...

Only just realised my watch stopped 2 hours ago - I thought I’d chopped a LOT of wood today After the EU session move up, seems like I didn’t miss much & I think I’ll call it a week. Good weekends to you ...

Ahhh, the symbiosis of EW, Fibo and the one & only Cableguy... I’ve missed your charts, CG, even if they sometimes remind me of Christmas decorations You sure traded a lot better than me today .

Well if it makes you feel any better, whilst I had no losses, I only filled one trade then bailed at +3, so you made 10x more than me. Then I missed a perfect entry into that big down move, after which I quit (I’ve found that if I miss a very ...

Back to the NQ Future Áfternoon, boys - morning schedule change for me, so may rejoin with some afternoon trades here (if CG will have me, of course) Two quickies and my sense of caution says leave it that (not quite sure where the moving ...

Hello, dear H - I finally accepted I'm a lousy trader, but in so doing discovered that even a lousy trader like me can make 20 a day "You don't have to make a lot, to make a lot..."

Didn't know you traded the DAX, 'ras. My two trades that morning - I only target net 20 / day (basis 0.5 = 1 tick) - so I stopped after 12 minutes. As you can see, I always leave lots on the table for the good traders. image Btw, my 30 second ...
