Bias: UP Move: Down Still in a down move within a range. But the bias remained UP from last week to this week. I am in two trades right now, the early reversal attempt and I also entered a pullback to the pivot on Friday. Wasn't thinking about it ...

Move: Down Bias: UP A great trade for the exercise. I discussed it over on Rearden's journal as well. Last week I had this trade and it resulted in a big profit. This time, no good. I gave Rearden the question... what is different between the two? I ...

Love this picture, great for this thought exercise... We could look at the red line, what was it doing preceding the trade last time, and preceding the trade this time? Was moving with the trade last time, against this time. Were there failures of ...

So tell me the difference between this one and the last one. (Keep it simple, pretend like you know nothing about trading and look at the chart picture)

A bit behind in posting, but not much to say. Bias is UP, Move is down. Move started the week up, but quickly switched lower. As I mentioned in 1321, if price opens below the pivot and simple50 on UP bias week, I want to wait until bottom of range ...

Bias: Up Move: UP Good week, so closing trade and no new trades on Friday. We started the week in an up move, quickly went to a down move, and then we got what Rearden has seen me do and is testing... which is to attempt an early entry before an ...

Yes... think about why you would be taking that trade in the first place. You take that trade as an attempt to catch the beginning of a move in the direction of bias. We never know how far a move will go, but this is the entry with the greatest ...

I don't know if you have noticed, but you are now "seeing" the next logical trade. You already know what you want to do, what it will look like, how you will react. You don't know when or where, but you see what your next trade looks like well ...

Bias: Up Move: Up Switch from No Bias to Up Bias. A couple of weeks ago we did this and failed to progress higher. Will this be the same or different? Price is closer to the previous high and remembering the weekly picture I put on the Rearden ...

Price has made a couple of pushes higher since opening the positions, so I will close them now. Unfortunately, the pushes didn't move price significantly higher, but I was looking for a couple of pushes and I have no control if they will actually go ...

Not much changed, the range expanded a bit the other day. Up Move, No Bias. Price travelling from 1905 to 1815. Note the big drop and recovery. I have 3 open positions still from last picture and because I am in exercise mode, the move has had no ...

No Bias, Follow the move Up Move Not much change. Picture in last post still holds. Holiday week. Holding my longs testing the thought of keeping first changes in direction beyond initial target. Also going to use this space to recap/summarize some ...

suggest language change to... "consistently profitable trader"

Alright, got my swings where they are supposed to be and back at it. A Rearden post helped me figure out I had my swing in the wrong place, I did not mean to move it there, was only trying to make the point of visualizing where the swing will go ...

Yep, screwed 'er up. Swing is down at 1814. Which means the better second entry was exactly where you had it at 1841. Don't doubt that you are moving in the right direction. And don't hesitate to ask me to double check my lines. As for moving the ...

Not sure what you mean, aggressive swing area. That is simply the swing. Unless i screwed up moving the swing, which is entirely possible as I struggle to run G home school academy for the kids and trade.

Follow the rules first, and then if you have defined bigger targets as something you want to test, test it. If not, don't.

Been doing some commenting on Rearden's Journal, better add some here. Good time to do so. Here is the chart: image First is the losing sell trade. I commented at Rearden's journal about how Rearden saw in advance that this was a problem trade. It ...

Don't get crazy with introducing ideas. You have to be able to manage ideas, be consistent with them, and that allows you to figure out which ones are good ideas and which bad. Introduce them one at a time, over a period of time. Get a feel for one ...
