Guestimating another 24-30 hours of short. Then looking to go long in a big way. Gray dashed lines are time marks where blue Gann angles intersect. Purple verticals and horizontals divide the square by 1/8ths (Gann/Murray/et all). Every vertical ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

This is getting way off the original point. The original post was about strategies and finding what works. I was merely trying to point out that it's not just about the strategy but about the MM. The proof of 50% outcome still being profitable is in ...

All strategies work

I didn't say flipping a coin is positive expectency. I said with proper MM, flipping a coin as the signal can still be profitable. Huge difference.

All strategies work

That's actually a good idea. Tell you what, start a thread and I'll trade YOUR system or method and we'll compare accounts at the end of the month. If you're more of a discretionary naked chart type trader then just post where your entry, stop, and ...

All strategies work

Then I didn't make my point clear and I apologize for that. What I meant was that MM has a greater effect on the account than the system itself and that MM can keep a system that is only correct 50% of the time in the black. Do the math.

All strategies work

yeah. it's called math. Risk/Reward. Whatever you want to call it. Do you need proof that 4:1 is better than 2:1. Or better yet, that 1.5:1 is better than 1:1?

All strategies work

There's a million ways to make money in the markets. Hardest part is finding one. But seriously, any system can make money. You can flip a coin and make money if you adhere to sound MM. And that is the key to the mint. Not a bunch of wavy lines. And ...

All strategies work

On the flip side... if ain't workin, stop doing it over and over and over over again.

The Importance of Mental Analysis

I take screen shots of setups, entries, add-ons, and exits. That way I'm not relying on my sh*t memory. EOD or EOTrade, I go over the screenies and evaluate what I did right and what I did wrong. It's also cool to go back over the years and look at ...

Trading PA. {Psych Analysis}. Please Read.

Clever. Can I steal that? I'm very interested in the mental aspect since I believe trading is 90% mental and the other 90% psychological. The math part.. not sure about that.

The Importance of Mental Analysis

I still use it to determine which pairs I want to trade. Not only a daily basis anymore, but more like quarterly. But consider this.. it's not just about which horse runs the fastest, it's also which horse runs the furthest. Plus, on this race ...

Like a Horse race

Hey bob. I"m the same way. I use "time" as an indicator, so I don't worry about setting alerts. I just set my watch. The weakest link in my method is me looking at a chart once I'm in.

Trend Following

I"ve been doing that for years. Know you've let the cat out of the bag. way to go... Seriously though, it's a great method for a lot of reasons. But I'll let you figure those out.

Like a Horse race

giraia_br, OW answered it best. Thanks, bud. My blog(s) goes into plenty of the why and quite a bit of the how. My journal here at ff does as well. It's just one of those things that you either see it or you don't. And if you don't see it, it takes ...

Gann Analysis

I used to do a squeeze play. Through a lot of number running, I'd come up with a swing range. I wouldn't set a hard t/p order, but would trail stops and slowly get it tighter and tighter as price approached my t/p area. Then I'd analyze if a the end ...

T/P vs Trailing Stop

Sure. That's me in the upper left. image

Relaxing colors for charts

Colors of the chart are very important to me. Because I use a lot of geometric patterns, it's important to have things adjusted as to not cause a seizure with all of the stuff I get in a chart. The squares and circle chart below is an example of a ...

Relaxing colors for charts

My geometric charts aren't difficult at all. It starts with an equilateral triangle within a circle. Then add another triangle creating a Merkaba (Star of David). Then add circles around each line of each triangle. I then extend the triangle lines ...

I don't know. I really didn't give it enough of a chance. It didn't satisfy my criteria of what I needed at the time. It made enough sense and I made a few pips with it for the time I was playing around with it.
