Hello Jarroo! This looks good. I'm not trading those however. For now I stick to PB,BUOB mostly. Don't know why the I4B's look more risky trades to me... it is not a reversal bar it is a neutral bar, right? - So in order to trade it we have to be ...

image Ok. I'm out of ECL. I didn't like the fact it was sitting on the PPZ,50EMA for all day, when all broad market had a fall of over 2%. I do not want to risk any possible bounce of this strong PPZ. So I am out: Aug 11, 2010 - SOLD: 9 SEPT 47,5 ...

I missed this one. Almost took it but hesitated at last minute. Would be nice to hear your thoughts. Was it a nice DHLC setup?

I just watched this FLOORED the movie. It was ok. Anyone wants the link to download? Let me know through PM.

V, my thinking is similar to yours. However I find it most difficult ( step 1) - really choosing a good high probability setup. I think if I could master this, teach myself to be picky I would really improve. Thanks for your post.

Mike, yes this makes sense now! Thanks. Is just I did not think about it in this way at all. From some videos and charts I have told to myself not to think that much about R:R. And if I come up with something where my R:R is good for me I thought ...

If you don't mind... to me it looks almost bullish. The price closed right at the PPZ. Isn't it a price flip level? It also has build some base (almost like mini double bottom), have tried to push thtough 1.0500 but was rejected, I'm afraid it will ...

Mike, I know you told me this before - it is important to stay as close to 2% as possible. I understand that not more than 2% protects my account, but why do I have to be that precise? Why 1.8% would have less advantages? I thought about this, ...

Ha, yes I would have to completely agree with you! Well here my bank savings account is 10% a year. If I make less then that why would I trade. Good logic. However, the other thing is well it is not easy to make 1% year, most likely the account ...

Cool My criteria would be consistent equity growth over substantial number of trades. 50+ or so. Actual % grow does not concern me that much. If one can maintain positive flow, controlling risk, he would eventually grow his % returns through ...

CY thanks for reply, lol I need to get this before I get married!!! for 2) I think the best way to judge someone's performance (based on how I judge myself) is to take about 50+ trades and to see how is he going with it. Because I think judging ...
