Bias: No Bias, Follow The Move Move: UP No Bias week, price still in an up move, open between pivot and simple50. So I entered a trade tonight when I got to the screen. Was a little late getting the charts fired up, so entry a bit high, but no ...

Good job on thinking about yourself and your trading. Absolutely, we have built some solid ideas to apply and see if they will hold up over time. Looks like we will have a No Bias week upcoming. This changes very little as far as entering trades, we ...

Ok, while I slept, price came within a couple pips of target, but was lower when I woke. Price just got back to the overnight high near my target, so closing out. image Price did what we theorized. Went up to target (ok, a couple pips short) ...

Bias UP, Move UP I have an entry on each side of today's entry, so no need to add another. TP same place. image Price closed back above the simple50 and pivot. Previously, this has been a good thing and often has been accompanied by a retrace. On ...

Price went down and danced on my swing. Closed below, but did not stay below, and now is back near entry. Once again all of the drama could have been avoided as I seem to be learning. A really good entry would have been down at that line. image + ...

Today seemed to further feed the theory that opening below the s50 and pivot, on a news day, with profit pre-news... that profit is probably a gift. I'll keep that in mind. A good chance to avoid this drawdown as well. We will open again below ...

Could price have done something different overall, sure. Then what would we do... we would look at it and see what we can learn. What if price would have retraced to 50% after 1 Sept and started pushing up again? It might do that in the future. ...

Here's a chart for you. And a follow up to what I was saying above. What if we look at a chart with just risk in mind. A different way to visualize what we are saying. We are in a range of roughly 255 pips. Let's break it in half and put a blue ...

I wake up this morning and price is close to giving me profit. Price closed back below the simpe50 and pivot and experience so far has been that this is possibly a problem. Would it be best to close out a trade like this? I have a small amount at ...

I'm just starting with the simplest things. Wipe your mind clear and start with simple things. Think about how trades end up, but care less about the result and more about the possible conditions that lead to a positive outcome versus negative. We ...

I was just trying to make sure you didn't get caught up thinking about best entries and wanted to push you to give equal thought to this entry and outcome. The entry might not have been best, but it still produced. Look for clues as to why it maybe ...

Remain in an up move, within a range. Price below simple50 and pivot. Immediate entry looking to 1900 again. I have learned from the past few weeks, that price opening below these two, in an up bias and a large range has not been good for entering ...

In this post at the beginning of the week, you talked about the 1811 and lower areas. Turns out you didn't need those areas to get a profit. Where is your head with this after grabbing 80 pips and price not returning there?

Price picked up my entry at the pivot, went to a good place while I slept, and was approaching again when I woke up, so closing out these two trades. image These were fairly straight forward, moved with bias and stayed above the simple50 and ...

Rearden called the play today over in Rearden's Journal... opening one here at the pivot area when spreads come down and would open one down at simple50, but that is where I opened yesterday so no need to add another from there. Target will be the ...

Bias: UP Move: UP Price opening below the simple50 and pivot so I will enter when spreads tighten in a bit with a target up around 1900.

Wrapping up week 3. As I look at the chart in post 1269, and the completion of the week in 1272, and think back to the week before... I have some initial assumptions to build on. * In a wide range, if price travels against your bias, best to wait ...

Thanks for acknowledging it will be frustrating if you miss tomorrow. Try to reframe whatever happens as another data point of something you will or will not do when you get back to full account mode.

image Sorry for delay on these, the router dropped off my desk last night in the middle of writing the last post and just got it fixed. Here is todays. Again, like last week, spread is rough at change of day so I just entered when it died down to ...

Bias: UP Move: UP Price above s50 and pivot, enter on retrace. Price held the swing at 1753 and exploded up. Allowed me to close out the last batch. As I put over in Rearden's journal, this last string of trades easily demonstrates a better way to ...
