I notice you annotate every inside and outside bar in the chart. What are the rules on volume when applied to these inside and outside bar breakouts ?

Why would I, I'm not the dumbass OP :D

Ok now you toned it down a bit, and looks more realistic. Thank you ND, as always, you are very helpful.

I respect your posts and the tons of contributions you have provided over the years, but don't you think you went a little overboard with this statement?

Stop raised to 1.2709, target 1.32

Without sounding antagonistic. This is what happens when something that used to work stops working and the trader refuses to accept what happened along the process. This is why it's good to keep statistics of losing period, and when the losing period extends itself over the mean by a wide...

Some people forget and must be reminded, if you don't need to be reminded, more power to you.

You begin by noticing what tends to be high probability areas of reaction. Then you continue by learning how price should act when an area is indeed going to react, when the reaction is not healthy, that's where you take a small loss. Then a good trail and off you go. The rest are...

Picture is worth a thousand words.

Jewish?

Actually you need a little more when you cut winners short before targets :D

Wearing a bearish hat coming into year's end is not very wise, some of the drops were Xmas gifts in November. Market seasonality is one of the easiest ways to make money in the markets.

You haven't seen it all yet, wait til he does 100 stop and 10x sizing because he had a few losses in a row; that's my favorite part of it all.

Aren't you special ? You cut it short, for no reason whatsoever, and now your original target was hit. If you could make small TFs decisions on the fly, you would not use 100 pip stops, so why kill a good trade when you know you can't make those decisions ? Oh and 1.2666 is flying :D

Looking for a decent pull back to buy March 2013, if I get the opportunity to average down below Friday lows at some point this week I will. Will hold for breach of 2012 highs to be met sometime in the 1st quarter. Long term play. Will post details once I get filled, but since the long...

What does predict mean to you ? 100%? 50%? 25%? Once you answer that question risk vs reward comes into play, and then the real trading begins. What you are doing now is not trading. Is dollar cost averaging investing.

Surprise ? Why make a business when you can just trade and live off your own edge. People just don't get it, the sellers are in the same boat as the customers looking for them, no clue or an edge so tiny, it's not enough to make a living off it, so guess what, you sell it.

This strategy however, places you in danger of under-leverage. It's like investing with only a portion of your funds.

Physically, price cannot go higher without passing through the Hammer's high, so it would make sense statistically.

Regardless of the past, something changed in the past years. Kept on trading even as performance degraded to negative returns.
