Eish ... sorry to hear ... agree with Mr D and hilmy83 ... focus on getting better ... just the headaches alone will mess up your trading all on its own !!!

Plan the Trade

I see the setups, but my timing is either out or I do not think it is a good setup and then it turns out to be or the other way round ... ended at -32 ... sim mode for me until further notice ... for sure ...

Plan the Trade

A messy day for me ... ended at -35 ... just when I think I am getting on track then a day like today happens ... totally my own fault too, have a headache and n sore tooth so should have known I am mentally not right ... but what the heck ... try, ...

Plan the Trade

True ... in retrospect not one of the setups I took was really valid ... started chasing the market instead of keeping my distance ...

Plan the Trade

Perhaps because I keep on picking setups that bomb out

Plan the Trade

PA is slow and sloppy today ... 2 stop outs and a +1 so far ...

Plan the Trade

Ad hoc practice sessions of yesterday and today ... I think I grasped something from Mr D's last youtube that I missed so far ... testing that and managing my risk a bit different ... good results so far.

Plan the Trade

Ended at -1 today ... I might have to think about dropping the tail trade for a while, just staying with immediate trend trades ... I do not do well with tail type trades in general it seems ...

Plan the Trade

Tried a long off the tail at 5825 but it blasted right through my SL .... three trades .. 2 losses and 1 winner and standing at +1 ... the power of a good risk/reward ratio ... one good trade then I am done ....

Plan the Trade

Yes, Nik ... that plus the thrust bar was my setup. onejester ... I took that trade also ... and I also almost cut it short but the practice is paying off and I thought about all the other trades that I stopped out and then went for +25 .... so I ...

Plan the Trade

Just got a perfect setup ... long off 7025 ... +25

Plan the Trade

I am also with them ... it happened once with me and I also restarted and it was fine ... has never happened a second time though.

Plan the Trade

Not mine ...

Plan the Trade

More patient today ... only one trade so far ... should have been a +1 but my entry was too high and it was stopped out ... I mixed a trend trade with a tail trade and paid the price. Edit: No, my mistake, would have been a loss anyway.

Plan the Trade

No, I did not ... will check it out ... thanks!

You really are an inspiration, Mr D ... day in and day out you just do your thing ... amazing !

Plan the Trade

Thanks Nik (and capstone) ... you are right ... today confirmed that I should rather stick with the green/red bars as S/D with a good thrust bar to confirm ... my trading "eye" is not good enough yet to judge the levels like Mr D does it ... today ...

Plan the Trade

Ended at -6 and have to run ... am trying to get a balance between the strong thrust bar pullback at a good level and Nik's bar that show good S/D levels ... works well on old chart testing but more tricky when the market is moving ...

Plan the Trade

Ended at -14 , just missed the trade I was waiting for (green bar and thrust bar) that would have gone to +25, but I had to go ... jam ... but no matter, I like the filter Nik, thanks a lot ... will practice further with it to help to eliminate nook ...

Plan the Trade

Have to run .. will try later tonight and give feedback via chart ... good weekend everyone.
