    No need to apologize:p I do use FIB sometime.swing high to swing low on previous leg, previous retrace, then found confluent zone. But I only use my eyes to measure while intra-day trading. I copied your method on YM. it was 23.6% level FIB retracement level was the turning point. And...

    Only traded the last 2 hours today. Only 2 trades were taken. I had been very patient today waiting, waiting and waiting for the “perfect” set up. I listened to one of seminars about E-mini S&P on INO TV over the weekend. It was an old recording session. But it’s pretty insightful. This...

    I have some relatives and friends who are in China doing some swing and day tradings. I am very worried about them since they don't really know what they are doing. They simply just buy, buy. buy and hold. In the past few years, some of them are very very profitable. Market handed lots of people...

    It could have been a day to make a great fortune if I had stayed in with the trend. I for sure didn’t catch the opportunity. I continued to take some trades I didn’t think through. And leave wide stops. The gap open down + first 3 bearish bars indicate the trend for today is highly...

    Today is one of those “screwed up” day. Didn’t follow the rules. Turned winners to losers again, set B/E stops prematurely, set up large stop loss. Over trade, make “get even” trades. Day like today, I should have taken profits quickly. While watching green P/L gets higher, my...

    Today is the day I should have stayed with the major trend. But my impatience pulled me out. During lunch break, I was listening Larry Connor’s Audio about “high probability trading” on INO TV (signed up yesterday), he briefly mentioned money management is the hardest part in trading...

    Whoever traded the opening or the closing today can make a great and efficient profit. Today is the day with Gap fill and late day reversal opportunity. I for one didn’t catch any of them. I traded from 11:00-12:40. Got killed by volatility at 11:00, Long switch to short , short switched to...

    Those red long body candles happened yesterday has been on my head since last night. This morning I was listening to some webinars about order imbalance, rally based drop etc. Suddenly it inspired me. I took a look at yesterday’s reaction. Looks like this long red candle could be warned before...

    Is it "floor trader pivot" indicator? the lines are different with my daily pivot points. The formulas should be the same, right? PP= (H + L + C)/3 R1 = 2P - L S1 = 2P - H R2 = (P -S1) + R1 S2 = P - (R2 - S1) Are you also using Market Profile?
