    If You Can Draw A Straight Line . . .

    Thanks for sharing. (This question is also for DB too if you happen to see this.) How do you like to manage your trades once you're in one? Reading through the thread, I have seen DB talk about taking very small losses or sometimes having b/e trades. You mentioned above that your stops are...

    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Any and all questions answered here

    Michael, Was my question to rawman correct? : With a 50k account the combine objective is a profit of $3500, but with this live trader prep its only $1500 and you have between 10 and 60 days to hit it without blowing up first or defaulting on any of the other parameters listed?

    The no BS, obfuscation-free price action thread

    I am by no means an expert, but here is how I've come to understand volume - I've marked up your chart. You used all the colors I wanted to use, so I went with dark purple to differentiate :) Look for divergences at meaningful areas (ie s/r). Reading volume is about relativity, meaning what...

    CL Redux

    Z, Are you measuring swings by using the MACD? Or by price making either a higher/lower swing than previous swing? Or is it a minimum amount of price movement? *edit - sorry, just saw your post above about 40c being the min. Thanks for posting though!

    Simplicity in TA

    I have read many of your old posts saying that "everything works" and I agree and understand what you meant. In the above quote, are you saying that you actually watch all 3 charts - 1 minute, range, and volume and look for confluence among the 3 when trading? Or were you just saying to look...

    Thanks X, appreciate the explanations as always! It fascinates me that horizontal 1/3s and 1/4s both work on that chart the way that they do...

    Simplicity in TA

    Great chart! I have a question - can you explain how you can see the upside energy forming on the weekly charts as mentioned in your post, possibly with a chart? Also, on the chart posted, I can see the relationship between the bottom and top moves, I think anyway. The problem for me is I can...

    Hey X, Do you mean the recent move down to 6500 and pulling back up to 13000 is the maximum pullback? Could you elaborate on this a little? I'm not seeing exactly what you mean. Where is the max pullback? And what is it based on? What is the set up exactly, is what I'm asking. thanks...

    Hey Dv, I can see that 1st short being a scalp (1st red down arrow on your chart you mean, right?). IMO, I think the huge red candle is what makes it more high risk and only a scalp. It looks to be climactic selling. Then price reversed back up right after. This could mean a change in...

    Thanks for the explanation, I've read that before, about the h&s confirming a true breakout, change of trend, or just a head fake. I attached your chart showing X's suggestion of adjusting the channel to connect the lows after the breakout. I see symmetry and so many different options on where...

    Is it just me or all indicators work?

    You are correct. Context is what matters. It usually goes - people look for the easy way to trade (ie crossover systems) sometimes it works, other times it doesnt. They say "indicators don't work!". They begin to focus on learning PA because "indicators don't work". They learn PA well, and...

    I only see 2 really. Maybe one other that would have fooled me if I hadn't noticed the 1st db on the left. Maybe on the far right at 18:00 but the MACD is not really diverged is it?
