Some weakness on NQ. ES reversed off unchanged. One of these days...

Well - at least I kept the promise I made to myself: I will do at least one short this week. :) Scalp profit on the 1st. Small loss on the second. Looks like that was it below for today.

Short for the 1st time in ages. Looking for a reaction low here @ 05/07. Lots of air below if no bottom there.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Some air below. The gap @ 4505 should be filled in RTH sooner or later. Next below is @ 4436.50.

I've done that regularly, too. It was part of the performance tips I quoted above. However, this resets the account performance data, too, doesn't it? Or can you select to keep those? Might be differences with NT7/8. Incredibly, a lot of things become worse with NT8.

The thread topic relates specifically to candlesticks only and nothing else, but it seems like the last pages are focused on price action - which may or may not involve candlesticks. What is price action? Simply price history reshaped however you like it, i.e., lookback period, bar type, bar...

What are you charting? And what was the lot more you used other than price action? 2 trades are just that. 2 trades. But your answer would be interesting nonetheless.

Check out posts by @SteveH. He's spoken warmly about the HSI index in particular many times on this forum. If I lived in the US I would easily trade HSI. As an European sleeping too little already it's not an option at this point in time. I heard some other guy on this forum who claimed that...

Maybe check out trigger methodology then: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=609

Where and with who do you trade? I imagine there may be differences from exchange to exchange.

Ranging below. Possibilities for the day:

So, I deleted my workspace, installed the latest version of NT8 and rebuilt my workspace from scratch using templates. Today, the problem appears to be solved and everything seems to be running smoothly. Basically, my charts are updating as price changes or as new bars prints (on my volume...

They still happen from time to time. Just not any follow through (yet).

Midpoint now. Range below or higher. Maybe...

Dip buyers are fat on profits. What's a 20 point dip. :) Just another buying opportunity.

The last few times the market have had a dip of some size on the Open it reversed higher either to the midpoint or for a new high later in the session. Assuming that pattern is still in play, but one of these days it won't be. Narrow weekly range last week, so targeting 4535/45 if higher.

Open gap @ 4505. Prior 2 week's high/low @ 10/11. Let's see if that can reverse this.

Hi again, Andrew, Finding the time to get back to you now. So I'm learning. However, this is a huge disappointment for those of us who focus on one instrument mostly. Seems like a design error to me. For what it's worth, I've been using this type of workspace for well over a year now and...

Haven't read a how-to book in ages, but always liked the Market Wizards series and I remember Minervini making an impression, so maybe I'll pick one of them up. Generally, I agree that those who can't... teach. But there are exceptions. I know a sell side guy in the neck of my woods who...

From last Friday... You should not jump off a bridge, OP. Trading is just a game, but it can bring out the worst of emotions in us - particularly when we trade with too high leverage and end up losing. If you search this journal for the word feel/feeling, it turns up way too many posts. Over 2...
