I haven't been diligent updating the journal. I've got quite a bit to document and even made some vids. In the meantime, here's something I watch. It's a cycle on the dollar index. I've highlighted where the cycle picked up most of the turns.

Cycle Trading

haha, totally. I remember early on I used to trade mostly off of Daily and 4h charts. It wasn't a patience issue until i started really getting great results. And then I found myself constantly micro managing the trades down to the 5 min. charts and ...

how do you improve patience

Exactly. I made this mistake early on. I had been profitable for a while and was getting a lot of offers to trade other people's money. The first attempt was with an account larger than what I had been trading. The psychological impact of seeing ...

how do demo accounts differ from real live trading?

Some doooooozies: Went to move stops to break even or trail profits and typo'd them further away giving up profits or even taking a loss. Went to move stops to break even or trail profits and accidently closed the trade. Went to modify the current ...

Crazy/Stupid mistakes you committed during trading

I don't, but I could make one. I've got a 5 day weekend coming up. I'll see what I can do.

Gann Analysis

Something that would show if line 1 is at $1 and line 2 is at $4, the percentage shown would be 400%? Something like that?

Gann Analysis

I remember well. I totally forgot about the technique of basing the square on the lunar cycle. I'll have to dig that out again. I used to kill it with just that toy alone. btw, what broker are you using for equities? I've been thinking about opening ...

Aux's Asylum

It happens. I actually prefer getting stopped out than a trade that goes nowhere. Stopped out means I can re-asses. Price going nowhere usually leaves me stumped because there's nothing to re-asses and I hate not knowing whether to stay in or get ...

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

After the 4h square expired, I advanced the square from the beginning of the range to the end of the range. The 1x1 is the balance line and the profit target. The second chart shows the current situation. Price is almost there but also coming close ...

Gann Analysis

It's not something I've seen anywhere else. But if you subscribe to what Gann said, "Price and time are the same", then they need a common measurement. Otherwise its like measuring a box with inches on one side and centimeters on the other. You need ...

Gann Analysis

Close. I'm setting the square based on a range. It's actually something you came up with and I just expounded on it and found how to unify price-time into a single unit.

Gann Analysis

I mathematically unify price and time as a single and equal unit. So 1 unit of time doesn't equal 1 hr or 1 bar or whatever. I measure in units of price-time by setting time exactly equal to 1 unit of price which in this case shows a perfect ...

Gann Analysis

EU 4hr chart. Perfect squaring.

Gann Analysis

Ive only been trading shorts for about 3 weeks now. Some shorter than others. Like Daisy Duke short.

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

I used to have an EA built for Profitunity way back in the mt3 days. One thing people need to keep in mind is that what makes Profitunity potentially profitable is the adding on signals and pyramiding a position. As you've learned first hand, it's ...

Profitunity (Chaos) Trading System by Bill Williams

wow. Kinda demanding there.

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

I'm not sure Murrey gets it right either. After years of study, experimentation, trading, winning, and losing, I've come to the conclusion that the standard way almost every piece of software, book, or indicator I've seen that deals with the square ...

Gann Analysis

The default angle in mt4 is indeed crap.

Gann Analysis

O-W, what broker are you using to get futures data?

Gann Analysis

I second that. I take screenshots of all of trades. The pre-trade plan, the entry or entry orders, add-ons, and exits. Best way to keep a journal, imho.
