Wish I did. And crypto is dead. Once they start rolling out the CB digital currency crypto for most will be worthless.

Tried to follow myself once ... got lost and took a few weeks to get back.

If you deposit money in the Bank, they will only lend it out tenfold.

It's called Fractional Reserve Banking, legitimised Fraud.

Set ups and Timing,,,,
Two important aspects of Entries in your trading system. When you have a good setup it will stick out like a sore thumb.. Like you just hit it with a hammer...or shut the car door on it... That's how obvious a good setup is...

And you will see it begin to form.. they just don't magically pop out of thin air they develop and they form within a framework...

Amateurs often use the word hindsight...Why ?
Because they truly don't understand what a real bona fide good trading setup is. They think a chart that's not posted realtime is hindsight... Because they don't understand plain and simple.

Because when you have a bona fide good setup you execute as long as that set up is within your timing.

Imagine if you had one good setup or a couple good setups.. and you have a window for them to form a window of timing.. you see your setup form in that timing you get your trigger whatever that may be and you execute.

You do this every day you show up within a certain time period you look for a certain setup or setups.. you either find them and execute or you don't and you do nothing..
There's always another bus to come along always another trade always another day... ..
It reminds me of an old carnival game called Whack-A-Mole... LoL...

You truly can make a good living off of one good setup..
Most of my trades come off of two basic setups.. and within those two basic setups are a few variations for entries and exits. ..

One of the things that I really like about Stacey Burke... Is his relentless hammering of the importance of setups and timing... Once you figure that out you will see much more clarity in your charts.

With all that said.... Oil,,,Oil,,,,Oil,,,

930-1030 NYT... 1 hour box
50% line of said 1 hour box.
How many trades can one have taken in the last 30 days alone off that 50% level???

Once bias is confirmed by a preceeding close of a 5m bar outside the initial 1 hour box.. then a retracement to the 50% level for your entry ..

I know I can say exactly how many... Today was just another day...another one.... another picture perfect Sore thumb setup....

Entries off the 50% level today,,, one for 46 pips and a runner for 90 pips.. Scale that how you would like..

And thats only oil....My top 3 are Oil, SPX, GOLD..
If it peaks your interest... Pull up oil... 5m chart..
Plot it ..figure it out..

Cheers

Interesting you mention Credit Cards. I grew up in the UK before Credit cards were invented. Prices were lower because you had to pay cash or get a small loan or go without. Mortgages were based on salary when the differential in those days was very narrow , unlike todays differential which the young have to contend with. Seems the invention of the Credit card enabled more debt, more consumption and higher prices for most things. Remember when house prices depended on local salaries? Along came second home ownership.

Anyone notice Oil again... 1 min rejects 50% level.( To the exact pip) ..coughs up a quick 50 pips....

09:30 to 10:30 EST is a great time to trade, there are numerous successful traders that use this hourly box to rake in the cash daily. One side of the box has an 85 to 90% chance of being the low or the high of the NY session. Works best on Nasdaq and S&P.
MY GRID. Markets are NOT random.

Bang on Tony !!! Exactly !!! ...
As well very effective on oil US30 and gold...with other "framework" (my new favorite word from SPZD )

Currencies can also be traded within this framework with lesser probabilities... Again just utilizing many of the things talked about in this thread...

GJ business (without any monkeys ) back to normal I see this morning.

It was a terrific day yesterday though very short for myself.
I took a first trade in Asia lasted 58mins, then two quick ones after the London Fake'N'Flip hahaa, to net double my days requirement while lasting just 9 mins.

And this morning in a review last chart below I see all has returned to reasonably normal,
triangles & symmetry, round numbers, opens and today price starting underneath the week PP we shall see from here where they go.


Yesterdays Fibo Chart from the new Gov BoJ speech last Friday landed at 61.8%, todays Fibo Chart shows they got price back to the 50% yesterday
(nothing really random in our markets in my book , but hey each to their own)
