Thanks SD for the encouragement. The larger time frame is definitely where I need to spend time. It's already helping, if anything, by showing my lack of patience and focus. It's made me take some time off to reflect on those issues. It's been a good time. Live isn't even a discussion yet. But...

So it's ok to miss them? :) LOL. FOR SOME REASON, Hmm...I have this voice that says, "ya just missed it you fool". Where real traders think, wow, it's tanking, good for you price, your representing price action, now where's my signal"? There's one. After the tank and into the reversal PB...

Really? At first they bothered you though? That's a great way of looking at a missed move. Signal pre lude. Maybe it's even the missed moves that help create context for that signal. You and J?

Yeah. I don't need to change the approach at all. Downside to ET, you see new ideas and then think wow! I'll trade that DT 123 failed failure like so and so did. Need to go back to my one signal/method with discipline. Focus. I'll hopefully review AM trades tonight if I don't have to stay...

I like 1 too but I chop myself to death. Everything's a signal.

The 5 def helps my patience and focus. The bars print so slowly compared to sitting in front of the 1 for 3 months. Also, I'm able to notice areas of horizontal importance better on the 5. For now at least. I need to do some chart analysis on my signal on the 5. I've not done that. Only the...

Off to work. NQ with a nice trendy morning. I struggled really hard today with the 5 minute. Since I began in August of this year, all of my studies encompassed a 1 minute and 60 minute for larger picture. Even though all charts display the same data in different ways, the 5 has a pro --> It...

premkt broke that old channel. Attached is what I'm looking at going into this morning. Goals for This AM: 1. Disciplined and Focused 100% 2. Identify Signal: Must be CLEAR. Not certain, but CLEAR. Unclear stay out, patient, and realize the market will still be here should I choose not to...

Sure thing. Your journals been plenty of help.

5 NOV prep. Daily uptrend broke with yesterday's low. Could revert to mean of uptrend channel. Something to keep in mind. Not in one day of coarse. But ya never know. Prepped some charts, move this line there yada yada. I'm ready to do well tomorrow morning. Up early, head cleared, follow...

4Nov Hindsight look. Some signals I saw. In hindsight. It seems with NQ there is very often a Pre Mkt trendline that is very important usually left over from prior day's trading.

HAHAHAHAHAHahahahhahahahah I'm only beginning to see the truth that it's 97% psychological, 3% mechanical. Freeeeeedom!!!!

Great thread here Jas. Great of RN to be so helpful. I just wanted to encourage you. I read something a while back in this thread from RN, who stated something along the lines of "it's time you walk right up to the edge of that cliff, knowing full well there's an abyss, and trust that you won't...

Thanks. I'm keeping a specific eye on that one and the deception my sub can have on me. What's most interesting, is finding these "issues" inside me I never knew existed. Douglas mentions these things in the 1st chapter of trading in the zone. Painful...well worth realizing they're there...

I hope you are wrong too. Nope. I often watched that right ticker to see a pullback intra-bar. I wonder if it's from watching the 1 minute so often. All I had was the 5 m up. 60 reviewed for key levels occasionally. None of which came into play today...so much for that. Forcing could be due...

Thanks RN on the compliments. I'm trying to be brutally honest so that I succeed. Without honesty I'm only kidding myself and don't need to be here. Today's trades show such a lack of understanding PA and honestly it's quite shameful..but that will change. I'm no feeling any pressure from you...

12 hour shift tomorrow, won't be back until Wed. morning. I'm working on the "forcing trades" issue. Market doesn't OWE SHIT. Remember that J. I hope to come back wednesday morning as neutral as the market. I also plan to come back taking current PA context into the signal I take. We'll see...

crazy chart attached.

11/3/2014 Review. I probably shouldn't take intra-bar pullbacks. IMHO, pullbacks were all there. I got em. YAY. However. I did not do well at all with considering Current PA in relation to the signals. I haven't yet developed the skill to put these signals in proper PA context. Something to...

Thanks man. LOL. At this point I'd be happy with thousandaire. Wash Rings Repeat. Pay the Bills, Feed the kids, buy a dog.
