Oh. Are you looking for, "traders agreed on price"? Value area at Midpoint? Sometimes your questions are vague.

Supply and demand perspective? At the 930 open, price made a swing low, and climbed 3 minutes later to a swing high at 0833, quickly rejected. Price then tanked forming a double bottom, and didn't go further. Price made a lower high around A, and didn't go further. No demand yet at these...

Been reading a lot on SLA/AMT, looking forward to participating. Hindsight of coarse. But, trade B could have fit SLA if it was instead a short at about 847 because of a DL break. At worst a B/E I think. D is a great entry having broken the range and retested that upper extreme. Very low risk...

Hi dratsum, one rule that I have, and am testing, is having my buy stop at least 4 ticks outside of the range on either side. Attached is a chart where I show that one bar that did fail to break out. It came within 1 tick of hitting my sell order. Avoiding getting stopped out? No. Limiting that...

Yeah, I haven't run numbers yet, but I would imagine playing an opening range b/o must be in the 50% range. Again, I "imagine" this. Testing later If I decide this route.

Thanks Fort. I haven't been in SIM at all lately, and yesterday was good, but I do have a nice journey ahead of me. NQ didn't do much after that break out. -JS

Thanks TD. Ever test it yourself? Like hit rate and p/l ratio on it? I haven't but intend to. Well see. This journey is filled with so many questions i must answer. I enjoy the challenge. I also despise it at times. And I choose to get it. Hopefully soon.

Update: I keep saying this, but I'm still in the Douglas mobile. It seems this might be something, or IS something, I will have to consistently work on, and can't master immediately. I know. Poor me... In keeping up with the psych, I'm going to trade the exercise in the book. I'm choosing the...

Thanks SD. Hope you had a good thanksgiving too. Glad to be back though.

If trading doesn't change a person, I'd imagine at this point they're in for hard/unsuccessful journey. That wormhole is pretty deep. Call me Alice. :cool: -JS

Great words. Resonated with a lot that I'm learning in Douglas book. Beliefs are very powerful. But the ones with negative energy can be de activated. Not forgotten, but power lost. We think, say, do, according to what we believe. Boy do I have a lot of work. Never thought trading could...

Anekdoten. LOL!

Update: I've been studying douglas still. It's taking a while. His 5 fundamental truths are great. I've read them before. There is a huge difference between reading them and literally believing them. I'm working on the believing part. I've traded a couple of days in NQ in past days. I've...

You aren't done. You learned a valuable lesson. Be sure to learn though. Good journal. -JS

Update: Yesterday purposefully chose to simply observe PA the whole day. I learned that I really can wait for the best set-ups. I saw a few. On monday on NQ on 5 minute, there was a perfect pullback after a range break out, and was a perfect signal. The patience really is going to be key for...

Good stuff. They correlate well. PA and Volume. I'm still learning how to use this to my advantage. I simply see a correlation. Big bars/big moves sometimes have accompanying volume. If that's the case, these points might be S/R to be considered on future PA. Is that true? For example...

F Franziskaner Hefeweizen! Komm schon! :)

Great man!

No God NO! JK. However long it takes.

Thanks TD. Stop stopping yourself from millionaire status! :cool:
