With all due respect, Mr D .... the ease with which you make ticks makes me want to cry in my hands .... eish. Yes, I know .... I know ... it is experience ... you just make it look so easy.

Ended at -39 ... was patient and disciplined and then got careless with 2 trades and it cost me the session

Well said ... same here ! +17 so far ...

Another option is to wait a while and let the candles settle to smaller sizes ... is the better option I think. After a few trades I compared the S&D levels of the 8 and 30 sec chart and the 30 was more accurate ... too many setups on the 8 sec ...

Plan the Trade

Good idea .. will check and compare a 13 tick chart ps. Nope ... the 8 sec chart is way more accurate ... will stick with it and see ...

Is trying the lower TF option ... worked my way down to 8 sec ... there the SL has some room to breath ... got one +24 so far ... ps. Amazing to see the market structure just do it's thing even in such low TF's.

Plan the Trade

Wow .. the sheer size of the candles makes the usual SL of 13 look like ... ummm .. really small ... no room to breath. What to do ... widen the stop or drop down to lower TF like 15 sec ... any ideas ?

Ended at +30 today .. fast action , sjoe ... saw the power of a good risk reward ratio in action ... 3 wins and 3 losses and I have a good nett profit.

Plan the Trade

If your TP is 11 ... what is your SL? Do you keep to a 1:1 of 1:2 risk reward ratio ? I tested a 10 TP with a 5 SL a while ago but it was too tight and the SL was taken out too many times.

I like the idea as well but have a suggestion ... anyone can come provided the whole trip and all the bells and whistles are paid out of their own trading profits ... how about that ?

Ended at +10 today .... was patient and decided to leave tail trades alone for a while except when it is a very good S&D level ... if in doubt then I rather leave it ... was tempted to try one more trade but decided against it because I could ...

You are not paying so much attention to thrust bars any longer?

Ended at -17 today ... if I had more time I am pretty sure I would have been able to catch another +25 or so and end at near BE ... but alas, I did not so could not. When I review my trades it is quite clear to see that I can reach my target each ...
