    TRADE ONE: SHORT/LOSS/ BRD/60/13H30 Yes I know it may of been foolhardy of me to take the trade in front of the FOMC announcement> but hey I trade this model regardless. In this particular case, I considered Bearish divergence on the 60, despite the fact there was no crossover on a close...

    Not happy with this trade at all, didn't go as planned: didn't enter the trade when the model dictated, didn't move my target order fast enough >> price just moved too fast after I was filled. WHAT TO IMPROVE ON FOR NEXT WEEK: Make sure your computer is running more efficient? Be prepared...

    Why did you use so many indicators if your trading mentality is based purely on price action?

    The "thrust" bar is usually a green hammer candle? or a full green body with no tails? then again I forgot you dont use candles. @Handle123

    @Handle123 forgive me if I have asked this before, but what software are you using to backtest? Also you have mentioned that your backtesting research shows that stochastic divergence is not reliable, may I ask which timeframe have your staff tested on? the 1min? 5min? Thank You
