    Resources for Improving Mental Resilience and Discipline?

    There is plenty of material out there, exercises, books, motivational talks, tips etc but ultimately it comes down to making a habit of doing the uncomfortable. It will ebb but you have to fight through it.

    Poll: Your June 2023 results

    Which is why I avoid taking a position before the close. If I am in a position and it has done nothing wrong but has yet to reach a target or a stop, I may hold it and close the positions if it has reached neither right before the close....similar for taking a position into an important economic...

    Poll: Your June 2023 results

    I have no interest in coming in here to hack on someone which is a popular pursuit among many on ET but a couple of observations: Yes, June has had above average periods of ranges as opposed to trending behavior, ranges require different strategies than trending markets. A trader has to...

    Meniscus tear anyone?

    I had a scope to trim a tear years ago. Was on stationary cycle in a couple of days and back to running within a couple of weeks. I've been a runner for many years. Find a sports orthopedist who has done a number of athletes knees. My surgeon was from a practice used by the Dallas Mavericks and...

    Al Brooks method

    Yeah, I'll let Al know is is missing out by not paying to the "special" personalities here on ET :D. In any event I'm done, ET was marginally interesting in it's prime now well past. Ciao and bon chance and all that.

    Charts are tangible, objective and predictable! Test me!

    I realize our time is valuable here on ET :D but my comment went on beyond the first sentence.

    Al Brooks method

    There are issues of legality about disclosing trades without being and acting as a licensed financial advisor. I am not familiar with the codes but you are on safer ground saying "A swing trader might enter here on a stop above bar 27 after an ABC correction into the retracement zone and MA with...

    Al Brooks method

    I can report he has traded in "real time" as I have spent a good bit of time trading with him...even before he got into the education biz.

    Al Brooks method

    Sure but time's running out. He has had his trading room open for years but he is spending fewer sessions a month moderating as he is handing over to others trading his methods. The room is not necessary but a deep dive into his material for understanding the material is, given a lack trade room...

    Al Brooks method

    Al is referring to limit scalp trades, something he is very good at. I have also traded with others who trade his scalp techniques with much success. Personally , I prefer to wait for stop order swing setups but I've watched he and others do limit scalps all day....and it's real. To each one's...

    It is predictable that there are people who will spend the day posting bullshit on ET :D

    Charts are tangible, objective and predictable! Test me!

    No one can predict the future. What we can do is under defined technical conditions know what is more likely to happen. That along with a structured trade plan and the appropriate disciplines are all that's needed. The problem is most will fail to secure one or more of those conditional factors.

    is it better to daytrade or swing trade

    Here is an example of a retracement range trade. Price put in a low followed by a bull leg and then retraced, putting in a tail below the .66, indicating range support. The grid on the right shows fib targets, you can see the probing and sell/buy activity at those levels.

    is it better to daytrade or swing trade

    My stops are always under/over the structure containing the signal and entry. As alluded to yesterday, an inferred or implied pullback appears as a one bar structure but on a lower time frame, it will print as a conventional flag, so a stop below/above that bar is actually under a flag...

    is it better to daytrade or swing trade

    The blue shaded area is the 30 minute opening range. Measured moves off of these are common but today was not one of them. The double top and the double bottom were not clean enough to interest me. The inferred PB's need to come off relatively strong bull or bear pressure respectively.

    is it better to daytrade or swing trade

    In general I don't like trading ranges but I took several trades. The first arrow down came after what is called an inferred pull back, it's only one bar(9:50 EST) but if you dial down the time frame, it shows as a multi car PB. The trade started out well but ultimately failed. I moved my stop...
