I try not to be concerned with such questions, when the trend ends, it should be detected by system or trend following technique.

You are far better writer than I am, your post summarizes my thoughts regarding the OP to perfection. God bless you ND, you are a breath of fresh air.

I get what you are saying about not trading everyday, the solution for this can be the use of multiple instruments. However, regarding the rest of your comments it's clear to me your research is incomplete. Best of luck with your trading.

I wish it was as easy as you think it is, but in my experience, it is not. Will list a few scenarios that accentuate the weakness of your strategy. First of all, fast timeframes like the ones you listed, particularly the 2min chart, will give long and short signals most of the time, no matter...

I like NQ because it's a good happy medium between ES and YM. Offers the swings of YM plus a great deal of the liquidity of ES without the horrendous ES 12.50 tick size.

Until consistent I suggest a cheap chair from Ikea :) Don't forget to try their meatballs when you visit !

Lesson here is we never really know 100% the outcome of a trade, so there should never be thoughts of "full leverage" or "betting the ranch type of plays", no matter how good you are, and it's obvious RM is very good. Thanks for the journal and the calls, a rare gem.

My experience has been different. Never had an SSD go bad, and I've had some for 5 years. However, my experience with spinners has been the opposite, forcing me to do two backups of critical data. Currently using WD RED NAS Spinners for large backups and so far no problem but I did get...

Sure thing, np.

I prefer Windows 7 to 8, but to answer your question, yes it will.

Been using WD RED Nas 4gb for a few months, aside from a few DoAs, everything has been fine. Secret with back up is to make 2 not 1 and store them in different safe locations. For actually 24/7 drive usage I use Samsung SSDs not mechanical ones.

I have a difference of opinion with you here and will try to explain myself as English is not my first language. The importance in candlesticks is the turn itself and not the type of formation. Whether the turn comes as a hammer or a doji or harami or a tweezer or piercing or engulfing is...

In my experience, a top or bottom is a turn, but not necessarily a doji or star, there are many types of turns, this can get even more "Manipulative" if you play with the timeframe as you notice the type of turn morphing into something different, yet equally effective.

I am a trader of candlesticks, but candlestick and candlestick patterns without context, in my most humble opinion, is a losing proposition.

In my personal experience trying to get ahead of adapted technology can result in a great deal of headaches. Patience is key here.

Could you please expand a bit on the software listed in your post? I've been trying to start somewhere and you seem to know the right path. Thank you for your kindness.

I like what Redneck did to the charts, thanks for posting them.

Another possibility is both, new highs and crash :)

If you mean GTC orders for the next day, and things like that, I assume any broker can see the orders of its own system at least without trouble.

You would need a 20 reward vs risk trade, which is not impossible, the hard part is being right on your first and only attempt :)
