For those of you trading with The5ers, I have a question. When you hit your target milestone for them to bump your account balance up, how long does the process take?

Nice picture. I'd love to travel down there and see it in person. I'm a huge history buff, especially ancient history.

I caught a long on UJ earlier off Friday's high but it fizzled out. Waiting to see if we get FRD for a sell the high setup for tomorrow. We have day 3 longs triggered into the market on the false break above yesterday's high, so we'll see.

It's a beautiful thing. lol The areas marked 1st bounce, if you zoom into the 1 minute you can see them. I've heard SB say 5 minutes is good to wait after MRN to take the first bounce trade, so that's what I'm going with. Opportunity abound. Time ...

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

I just learned this morning that MT5 lets you undock the charts without needing a script. Pretty cool. Historically that's been a huge turn off for me, MT4's lack of native multi monitor support.

Gonna see if UJ gives a buy low opportunity in the morning. Also gonna try getting up earlier starting this week. I miss a lot of entries by being a "wussy" who likes to sleep too much. lol I'll get the coffee pot set up the night before so I can ...

Which trade panel do you use? After testing the RunwiseFX one, I noticed the stop orders weren't set to the fixed amount of 20 pips. I set it to 20 pips, but the stop was closer to 40 or 50 pips. Unacceptable. lol Here's the one I'm looking at ...

Did you mean to include a link? Right now I'm using a free one, Trade Panel Pro by RunwiseFX. I did see a premium one that I like that I'll pay for down the road. I need to buy a good supply/demand zone indicator for MT5 too. All the free ones are ...

I opened a MT5 demo account with Trading.com so I could get used to MT5 and build my template. The prop firm The 5%ers only offers MT5, so I figured I should get prepared for that for when the time comes. That way when I start trading with them MT5 ...

Awesome, thank you.

spzd, do you have MT5 indicators for round numbers, previous day's high/low, and previous week's high/low? I've tried some that I've found online, but for some reason MT5 seems buggy and some indicators will stop displaying after I add new ones to ...

Better to start small while you refine your process and iron out the wrinkles. It's the wise way to go. A lot of people with little to no experience will put 100k into an account with pie in the sky dreams and end up losing it. Then they get soured ...

lol There's still good new bands, but a lot of modern music (top 40 shit) is just computer generated nonsense and autotune. It's garbage. It literally takes no talent to create. The singing is fake, no one is playing an actual instrument, etc. I ...

UJ - Another supply zone short setup after FRD. This setup (including the inverse) can really add to your account balance.

Or to just simply do their jobs correctly. People are pretty incompetent these days. I picked up a pizza a bit ago and after I paid for it the person just stood there and needed to be prodded to go to the heat rack and see if it was ready, which it ...

Tomorrow should be interesting for UJ. If we get a short setup and MRN gives it the follow-through I'll look for a first bounce trade. Or visa versa.

Oh, I know what it is. Not my first rodeo. About 10 years ago I actually created my own USD index in Excel. I used TD Ameritrade's API and got monthly closing prices for different commodities going back to 2000, and used them to create a commodity ...

I don't make decisions based on it, I just thought it was interesting. I don't make forecasts either, not my strong suit. lol I just take it day to day, week to week since all my trades are day trades. What something does next week or next month ...

$DXY formed a double bottom on the daily chart. Curious to see how this plays out with all the bearish USD sentiment.
