Out of curiosity I went back on Sept contract on that day of the above 5m chart just to see wht happened if I had of shorted at the top of that third leg and top of the TR. It was good for at least a 4 to 9 point scalp, depending on when I would have covered. I marked the chart up with the three...

3 legs harder to see on same narrow 1m chart but they are there. On 5m chart only one leg when i took that first entry. So it was not an entry based on TR techniques. However, at the top of the TR and top of last leg I would have no problem shorting the top edge of the TR because now is has...

Three legs vs two legs to anticipate and extend a TR rectangle out as a possible near future pattern that is evolving. The more legs the higher the probability the pattern is valid even if not perfect. ANTICIPATING AND EXTRAPOLATING TRs.

Understand most of the time I am drawing in TR rectangles once I get two points top and bottom to draw them in. That usually means 3 legs. For example; a leg up followed by a leg down then another leg up. That then gives me two points top and bottom to begin drawing an anticipated TR that may...

I looked again at my TRs on both the 5m and the 1m chart. I am not sure why I drew them that way but it is without a doubt wrong in the end after the fact. I am thinking that I was trying to show from a 5m perspective why I took a trade in what ended up being in the middle of the trading range...

It is late and I am tired so all I can say is I too have a hard time figuring out why I drew that range that way. It is actually drawn wrong on both charts 1m and 5m. Not sure what happen there. There was a day or two that I without meaning to do so accidentally moved or widen the range. I have...

My carcass crawled out of bed late. I wasn't even trading during 8:30-8:46. That said if I were trading the 1m chart during that 1m TF I might would trade some of those bars on momentum. However, I would be watching to see if the opening gap would be filled or if price would head back up before...

If it says SIM then it was SIM. Sometimes I do trades in SIM to illustrate some concepts or if my thinking is not so good that day because of diabetes I will use SIM. For obvious reasons. As far as size I often trade much bigger than 6 contracts. I generally show all my trades when showing...

I haven't left yet on my trip. I did take three trades this morning. Up 17 points. I did not record them as I was not planning on trading, so these are static "after the fact" screen shots, however, the entries and exits markers are what my platform put on the chart as the trades were executed...

“NOTHING GREAT IS EVER DONE BY HOLDING BACK”

Yes that is what happened. Fixed now.

@poopy I have to log out to see your post poopy. I have no idea why? My chart markups yes are posted after the fact or as the PA is unfolding I sometime type comments. But yes those charts are generally posted after the fact. Think about! How can I post a chart at EOD with my trades on it before...

Thanks!

@Mickey Wrong. I have been a teacher much of my adult life in other fields not school. I get enjoyment and satisfaction teaching and showing people how I trade. And I am doing so in a journal. And at no charge and have nothing to sell. @poopy You must have me blocked. I can only see your...

Thanks ¡Hasta la Vista!
