    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    I'm looking at it right now. I'd PM you a screenshot with the timestampes but your PMs are off. I don't want to post it publically here. Maybe the problem is with my account. My username is onea2b3cppp (just like my username here except Skype doesn't let you start with a numeral so I had...

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    Not sure if I'm being trolled here or not, but let's try this again. @NoDoji Awesome, none of that has anything to do with me or this thread, tho. As I've stated for years, I wish I could learn to predict direction. I kind of gave up on it for a while after trying everything and...

    A profitable journal with all entries/exits posted in advance

    It's cool. Usually when people find out how I trade they tell me how I'm doing it wrong and how I should be trend following or whatever instead. I have traded this way for a total of 3 years. That 35% is probably approximately right. I can get the exact numbers if you want.

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    My gosh. I feel like some of you didn't even read the first post. Where did I say I was looking at "seconds charts only?" What posts of mine lead you to the conclusion that I was looking at seconds charts only? When I posted them I mentioned why I posted them at those particular places vs...

    I've had a Skype friend request waiting for your approval for months, which you still have not approved :(

    A profitable journal with all entries/exits posted in advance

    I'd have to go check the exact numbers. Probably close to 100% in 2009. In 2010 I was day trading for half the year and while I was profitable and posted almost every trade in real time in another journal thread, that's not technically this same method so I'm not including it. In 2011 I...

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    Here's Friday's chart. I'm not sure I fully understand how to roll over a contract in SierraChart and that may be why ORH and ORL didn't plot. I manually drew in ORL and it appears it functioned as R as labeled on the chart.

    Based on the daily chart, it looks like 1593.00 or 1596.50 may be important levels tomorrow if price keeps going down.

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    Here is 6-12: The only noteworthy thing I see on here is the double top at the ONL (which was also the ORL today): Let's take a look at that double top on the 5 second chart to see if there were any clues that it was a double top rather than price going back up after ORL was reached...

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    Here are my charts for yesterday: First the daily chart. Price did not approach or encounter any significant levels on the daily chart today: And here is yesterday's intraday chart: The only things I really see on that are what's labeled. Around 10:16 CST there was a bit of...

    I don't see anything today. Anyone?

    What is the holding period for swing trading?

    More than one day, up to less than a year. I think after a year it becomes an "investment" since long term capital gains apply. If you buy and sell the same thing on the same day it's an intraday trade or a day trade. If you hold it until the next day's open it's technically a swing trade.

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    Nice to see it quantified. I thought all charts were fractal. If you remove the timeframe from the bottom you can't tell what kind of chart it is, so why is one better at showing trends than another? That's the goal. I actually don't mind when a trade goes against me. In fact...

    Is this a quiz with correct answers? Looks like a series of LHs and LLs and maybe a 2t in the middle.

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    "Longer" is vague. 5,001 constant volume? 10,000 constant volume? I use an ES daily chart to look for big historical S/R levels. Is that a long enough time frame? I will agree that longer time frames probably have more significant S/R points. Cuz I'm a noob who for years has been...

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    I don't understand your comment. Are you saying I can't find sense in price action because IHS is not actually a bottom pattern? If so, just say that. This is the obfuscation-free price action thread.

    This post would've been better if it said: 5,000 constant volume is too short because... Instead of 5,000 constant volume, you should try... Here are some reasons why this other time frame works better... As far as I know, 5,000 volume charts are a fine timeframe. As I said in the...

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    I'm trying to figure out how to predict where price will go based on price action. I'm just doing it in a thread to hopefully facilitate discussion rather than just doing it in a journal of my own (which I am also doing on the side for my own notes, and will probably keep doing once this...
