Testing Times.

Recommended Posts

Actions for the 9th.  I look at my charts and often feel I am getting tangled in small time thinking, I am trying to keep in mind what is happening on the higher time frames as the big opportunities are found with the bigger picture in mind.  I've been doing better lately at executing my trades but find some scenarios a little more challenging (exit on trade 2 into possible long), attached notes in an attempt to explain some of my thinking through the earlier parts of the session.  I stopped trading after trade 7 as I felt the PA on the lower time frames was a little troublesome.nq090420181min.pngnq09042018notes.thumb.png.cce8c069e5e82eb44c2226f9ebbf81c3.png

Actions for the 11th.  Price tested the hourly range upper limit and failed, despite knowing there was an area of interest in play I failed to capitalise as I was struggling to make out the PA on the lower time frames.nq110420181min.thumb.png.76330b18968dd2bc8bfc0456c7b37c9b.png

Actions for the 13th.  Just wasn't getting the bigger picture as the day unfolded, PA seemed to hack away at the turning points making things a little tougher.

Actions and thoughts/notes for the 17th.  Really frustrating day, I had a bias as to where price was heading and despite some hesitation in the afternoon there was not a whole lot that happened that shook that bias.  Trying to capitalise on it is a different story, I misread the PA and missed a long early on and spent the rest of the time chasing my tail.

Actions for the 19th.  Prior to the open I was looking at the previous days Lo-Hi as a possible range, I was a little lost throughout the session and ended up shutting down shortly after the final trade.nq190420181min.thumb.png.a13500089373fd530371fcdd12fb6662.png

Actions for the 23rd.  Very frustrating, knew my areas of interest prior to the open but ended up chasing, felt that the volume was vague and got involved when I knew things were looking a little choppy.

Actions for the 30th.  Whilst I think my reads and entries have improved, my patience, tolerance and management seem to be terrible.  I'm trying to improve on the hold times to get in with the bigger trades but find it rubs against the grain a little.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
