I didn't post a chart premarket so I'll post what I saw today. The first chart is the 60 min and after trying a few different TCs I settled on what is posted here. When I was trying to find lines to "fit" I realized I was forcing it, and realizing that, walked away with what is posted...

DbPhoenix and Hooti , Thank you for your insights. After walking down as many dead ends as I have, its a challenge to trust again. But that is part of the process to, (trusting yourself) without it we never trade, we never grow. This is why the testing process, both backward and forward are so...

Have been working on a few different things in the last week. One was spending more time on replay which seems to help get my mind right. I know that doesn't sound very intelligent or profound, but when its just replay and no cha,t my focus seems much better and I see things with just a little...

I agree Hooti, and every time that happens I feel one step closer to reaching my goals,

Nice stuff , and as always appreciatted

Hooti , good stuff , insightful intelligent posts , helps me reflect on my own thinking. good trading.

Good post Db , appropriate given the PA the last few days, I could feel myself drifting. I had thought late last night I need to refocus, and then I read this. Thanks

Not sure what happened last night, regardless if you were paying attention their was a RET at 5:47 price shot up and has been rangebound since about 6:00 pm this could make for an interesting morning. The chart is the 60 min with some levels.

Well said Eminiman, I've experienced that occasionally, that sense of literally feeling the PA was going one way or the other, certainly not enough to trade, at least at this point but intriguing enough to want more. If I understand what you're saying its more than being mechanical ,This isn't...

On the subject of scratching a trade, I think I need to define what I mean by scratch. this is not the same as exiting a trade although it may be splitting hairs, trade management is a separate topic. To scratch a trade is to offset entry because the trade isn't working as planned. The purpose...

Thanks Db you're right, when price didn't trade lower at 9:57 and instead made a HL I should have picked up on that quicker, and that is something I have recently been more aware of, the movement of price to find trades, when the well runs dry so to speak. I don't remember where I read it...

Well well well just when you think you're getting somewhere, you realize you're walking the wrong way, at least that's how today felt. I only took two trades #1 and #3 ( marked on the chart), and #2 which I didn't take but but should have . Probably because I was still looking at #1. 1...

You aren't the only one (referring of course to my mind)

You are referring to Wyckoff and the Auction Markets: The Trend Channel and Wyckoff and Auction Markets : The Box? If so yes. I guess that's a subtle way of saying read it again boru lol

Gears as simple as that sounds understanding that you trade RETs in trends, REVs in TRs, and BOs coming out of TRs was a revelation for me. Sometimes the most obvious things are right in front of us. Good luck p.s. for what its worth I've gone back to observation on the weekends just to...

Hooti thanks for your comments, I know its only an illusion, I have much more to learn, but sometimes, I think I know enough knowledge wise, its myself I need to work on. I saw that short this morning at 9:42? I actually took it by accident (I hit the mouse) got short at 86.50, watched it for a...

Thanks for your post Db, and don't be sorry (I' m grateful for your help). I don't feel nearly as bad as that post read in hindsight. To be honest I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I finally got off my ass and did some work that had some value. I learned more than that post...

Well this journey back to the beginning is hitting some potholes, ruts and not to be to hard on myself, a few glimmers of hope. I have come to understand what I have been doing is not really a journal but a log, and not a very good one. Posting one chart in the early morning is not...

Looks like you had a good day game. The short at around 9:42 was pretty nimble. Do you trade off a smaller bar interval for entries? and the long at 10:22 was that a RET after the hinge ? well done

Duly noted thanks
