Leave it, then. It's moving weird today, NQ anyway. Slow grind and lots of trickery. When/if she realigns today, then grab some more.

The meat of it isn't wrong, but yes, it was presented in d'bag fashion. Anyone adding 3 zeros to an acct in a year quit working for someone else that same year, reached liquidity limitations around Q2 of year 2, and is currently a billionaire. ...

To add: the hardest part is standardizing the subjectivity, so that the historical probabilities remain reliable when live. If you honestly "trade forward" a historical chart, and can't perform the same when live, that is your challenge (mine as ...

That does help quite a bit actually - I will try the same. S15 is so fast, that once I get started, I have no time to check other TF's until the action has died down, at which point, I missed the M10, M5, M3, or whatever nice setup there was. I'll ...

M3 because she did nothing yesterday and we had news this morning, i.e., likely to make a decent move rather than whip? I'm unable to decide ahead of the open/news which TF to go with, so end up sticking with S15 as the trader, and M1/M5 for control ...

Strategic decision for TF or just lazy this morning?!? She's slower this week, imagine NVDA and JHole driving the consolidation.

The knowledge is enough - when it's in consolidation right before a big level, most of the time, it will peek through to "satisfy" the new extreme and take all the liquidity from those stop orders. Look at how many times in Strats charts where he's ...

Have you settled on cumulative volume as the helper? I struggle with it because it's really a ton of info - very condensed - and so many ways to look at it in real time. Divergence, trendline breaks, momo, comparative with single or multiple ...

Statistically, trailing to BE gets hit more than an extension to further TP of equal size (approx 65:35 on NQ in volatility ranges from 100-500 pts for ex.) - which makes sense based on Strat's advice on waiting for pullbacks for entry/re-entry.

Better to do something else until you amass enough capital to generate enough income to justify the time and risk of trading. Tester accounts are all well and good, but there needs to be skin in the game for it to be real. Turning 1K into 2K is very ...

Don't fall for that scam, please. Worse than a bucket shop - they give you more leverage and call it money. Just use a real broker.

NQ was close to 4 std dev's for 100 pt move by the end of that flat wedge. 4*100=400pts, breakdown from 15100 to 15000. I took out along the way, but the ratio generally jives.

More about brokers... they are not your friends, they don't benefit if you make money, their terms of service are egregious, and they will blame you if anything ever happens - including with 3rd parties like exchanges / regulatory. They are ...

Nope I'm here, will post if someone wants another chart, but looks like you've got NQ covered. Haven't been subjectively trading YM lately since NQ S15 takes basically all of the free time, and then some, some days.

There are no rules that are consistently profitable over time. Every day, there will be MA crosses that are perfect, and others that take only losses. However, every MA, and every rule for that matter, is profitable sometimes, given some long list ...

Sorry I didn't realize it was US30 and not YM/MYM. US30 will display a similar price as YM/MYM, but can also use decimal places, whereas the CME products do not. It looks like 1 "lot" with your broker is 10 units of US30, and they are offering you ...

Absolutely - during NY session, you should be good with 50-100 YM's early ($250-500/pt), and half that later on, although shoving it into top of book as a single market order isn't efficient and makes HFT's very happy. But 10 YM's is no issue almost ...

Yep, killed it today thankfully - there is definitely a feeling you get when markets are doing what your brain expects. I need to try and identify that feeling and trade bigger on those days. Yesterday was hideous, and instead of recognizing and ...

FYI got my ass handed to me today on NQ, mostly due to my own idiocy, and possibly from pressure since ramping up the volume. Wanted to post it since everything was going perfectly for too long, and I think it's worthwhile to know that we all have ...
