IDK about clearer. I think I'm seeing most of that in real time. the moves off the open and PB's are trades I'm not good enough , quick enough or comfortable enough taking. I'm working on a LTF near the open and working on ME to try to catch those. The FBO (failed break outs) , there I'm...

yes, thanks RN. Had 1 other trade for BE.

Thanks ammo. ============= not the cleanest PA so far today. focusing on entries, pulling the trigger. Exits need adjustment. not too concerned with that today. I've done that type review before. It's an easily fixable issue separate from entries. That's an important distinction as before...

Thanks , will do.

Thanks, bigsnack.

Yesterday I gave some thought as to why I'm hesitating and missing trades. the root cause near as I can figure at this point is Uncertainty of outcome along with my un-wanting to give up control of the trade. I'll explain. If I wait for confirmation to the point of "Yes this is the trade !"...

thanks. Once I completely absorb the basics of PA i'll study the TICK.

Ammo, do you watch intra day TICK numbers for OB/OS , divergence or confirmations ? thanks jas

Tues - 7.25, trades taken managed well. It's the trades I'm missing that is hurting my performance. Today, wed. Terrible narrow range not conducive to my type of trading until about 11:30. I had called it a day about that time and went to lunch. That must be one of the Traders Law's - the...

First, thanks RN for the reply in Slugars thread re: my stop placement question. My approach is the same. =================== Ok, last week did not trade much on thurs and Friday. Ended the week -2.75 NQ points. My focus has not been good last several weeks. The short trading days I took...

RN, What's wrong with the structure stop ? I believe it's a tick above the DT. You would use a TL break as a stop or ? thanks jas

Thanks, Ammo. looking forward to the maybes becoming clearer. ==================== Nice move in last half hour but had called it a day and was at lunch. Another move around 8:30 missed due to my commute. Rethinking this split shift type trading. Just need to start getting up earlier...

Having a hard time reading these PB's. Seem like V reversals. Beginning to look at a Volume based chart to read the S/R areas and price rejection that the 1 minute isn't making clear to me. Only 1 trade so far. +2.75 The missed opportunities are where the money is. I still notice I have a bias...

embracing volatility and sitting on hands ; -1

Thanks RN, Did not trade today. Another late night. The recent missed trading days are due to rehearsals and gig last night. Going forward I expect back to a regular schedule with the focus on trading.

Thanks for all that RN. Calling it a week after a couple more trades taken. I am not reading price clearly today. Monday was a -12. pt day and been trying to get back a little each day. - 6.75 today so - 7.50 for the week. This week I missed some good trades because I got into...

Volatile, big bars and big tails, confuse me a bit, especially near the open. I think I tend to wait for the dust to settle. But the more I study them it's clear they are readable. I grew up on lateral S/R and now need to bring it back in and blend it with diagonals. thanks for notes !

Are you kidding ? Of course , please do. :)

entry in middle of OR is why I would guess this entry had lower odds and failed.

thanks, RN . Yep, that DT. Hesitated then realized context was perfect for it. Missed. Only those trades today. PA turned into a choppy descending channel that was great education. Definitely opportunities.
