BB as well as RSI divergence, it's higher risk and I get stopped out more so I use the 2% risk 6% reward, the nice thing is that you can run a VERY tight stop because it's at a extreme. Also that's all I did for years to make the money I have. Now I ...

I will say, the best thing a trader can do is to come to the realization that a bad trade or a good trade MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

james16 Chart Thread

Don't think so much, who cares if it's going up so much, if you have a good reason why it may go up more get into the move with a low risk trade. Play PB's WITH THE TREND for a change, that's 1 less think to have to worry about. Don't always look ...

I understand, I used to get pissed off too seeing everyone "saying" that they made this and that and the only thing I could do was lose 90% of the time lol. Again I say forget everyone else and do your own thing and work works for you. Like today, ...

True I know Bill and his daughter Justine. It's funny because I used to trade the exact opposite as he did and made money lol, CT off the 3min on the S&P e-mini. His stuff works too if you learn it and his MM is good stuff.

lol true, hard to do any trades without moving the market. I will say MANY people that do this make well over 500% a year but you will not see them in the papers or on CNBC.

Oh ya You are going to laugh but I am looking at doing a hybrid of DIBS on the 5min using IB's so I can do a 2:1 RR. The 1:1 is nice and with 70%+ it makes money, if it's 2:1 well I will be printing it. Spent about 15 hours this weekend messing ...

So true but most want to take something that a 5 year old can do and add ego to it and then greed with money. If you can paper trade and make money and cant do it with real money it's EMOTION.

I say save enough money to live on for 1 year, that will take some of the stress off of you having to make enough money every month to pay bills. Also I was saying 99.999% of the people on this forum just trade for fun and have other income.

james16 Chart Thread

Depends on your bills, what do you need to live on and be realistic. I will say doing it just as a hoby as most do here and doing for a living are a LOT different, once you know that if you don't make money trading your secrewed it makes it that ...

I started looking at doing more of a trail but I ran out of time backtesting. I know that 90% of the runs that work do go 20-25 in todays market, if that range changes then I have to re-adjust. I was playing with going into a trade with 3 positions ...
