Just warming up Gabe

You are right. Most of those who posted did a half a$$ed job - including me. (pardon my French). It is my resolution to follow your suggestion and starting tomorrow (Sunday) I will post atleast one marked chart per day. Gabe

THere is something similar to this for NinjaTrader but this is much better. I wish someone would make this version for NT. What is the name of this indicator? Gabe

Going back to the chart in the above post, would the pink marked levels be valid entry points? I am asking this because it seems that i see opportunities everywhere but I am killed on most of them. Gabe

Just a recap of what Thales said a few days ago. Gabe

Maybe this would help. Ensign Software - Charts: Rollover Schedule Gabe

If you save the thumbnail and re-open it, everything seems OK but not if you just click on it. Gabe

Bar 2 did not make an L and bar 3 did not make an LH so the conditions were not right for a short. Gabe

I explained the 1st exit in post #1455. The second exit was because I was very tired and went to sleep but did not want to hold the position while sleeping. Gabe

:rofl: How many times have I said that to myself? Is this an addiction or love? Gabe

As Thales is still sleeping I'll take a stab at it I think that the answer is NO because the low of bar 2 did not go below the low of bar 1 Gabe

I am not sure which trades of mine you are refering to but I still suffer from PMC (Pre Mature Closing) of my trades when the trade goes in my favour) I was experimenting with closing trades at 1/2 the distance to the nearest swing point instead of waiting to be stopped out at that swing point. The logic behind this is that at a bar boundry, price in the lower time-frame will cross the boundry of the higher boundry more than once (except in strong moves). So if I take only half the loss, I can go at it twice and be at the same monetary position as if I took the bigger loss. Gabe

Many of have bought books that were useless. I am under the opinion that even if I get one good idea from a book, then it was worth it. One such book is Al Brooks' book and the 2 most important things I learned from it are: 1. Enter on a STOP 2. A trend will continue far longer than we think. Gabe

Make The Fractal Your Friend This could be what Don is refering to except that it seems that he is anticipating the reversal rather than waiting to confirm it. Gabe

Thank you. Do you trade off the charts or by entering a price in a box? Gabe

In one of your post you said that your entry is a tick beyond the signal point. In another post you mentioned something about the SPREAD + some margin. Maybe it was 1.5-2 times the spread. I think it was in reference to the stop point. The prices that we see in the chart are - as far as I know - average prices between the bid and the ask at the moment. Could you break down a trade into the actual NET pips as compared with the theoretical from the chart/posts? Thanks Gabe

Not connected to any previous post, here is a proposed avatar for Thales. Gabe

This is how I feel this morning. Gabe

My AJ trades from last night. First was a loss of 36 pips (3x12). Pulled the trigger too soon on this one. 2nd trade (same direction as the 1st) had a gain of 12 pips (10 + 2x1) My 2nd target on the 2nd trade was missed by 1 1/2 ticks 3 times. I wonder if this is Oanda or just unlucky placement of the target. Missing targets by 1/2 the spread happened a few times in the last few days. Gabe

Canceled order. Setup no longer valid but was there a LONG setup that i missed? Gabe

We are at seemingly significant price level for the AJ. Gabe

Similar setups. Why did some fail Gabe

Potential AJ Short. Gabe

You are right about the point I was taken out. I did not wait for the swing point because i was tired and went to sleep, so I closed the trade for a small loss. Gabe

And here is UC as I found it this morning. About 100 pips higher. So I picked the direction correctly but still lost $$$. I looked at my initial entry with the profit target and the stop loss. It seems that I did not give the trade enough breathing room. Gabe
