If you trade with a prop shop you are a professional. These are the exchange fees, not tied to a platform.

Actually, I am on sim right now. I want to see consistency in my sim trading before going live. I am using 2 sim accounts - one where I actually measure my performance as if live, the other where I try out different approaches and timeframes.

Thanks for all the info. I believe you are right. I will take that into account in future BO trades. I really appreciate you taking time to do this.

You are correct. Long entry at the top of the bar.

Thanks. I agree with everything you said. I need to read more of you journal to figure out WHEN to average down and when NOT to.

Thanks. I appreciate the help. Don't rush things on my account.

I am not comfortable with scaling.

8:32 I entered and exited on this same bar.

I entered on the dark candle after the large bo bar at 4410.75, stopped out at 4407.75. I have a bracket order set for +2.25 pts, -3.00 pts.

I am having a problem with waiting too long to get in. I got in the wick of the down candle and got stopped out. I have only been wrong on direction once in the last few weeks, but I am getting in too late to take advantage.

That is the reason I wouldn't live there. Beautiful state, bad politicos.

I wouldn't live in any of those states.

That is pretty much what I do. I tried coding a "speed" indicator a while ago without much success. It is easier just to recognize the price action.
