Thanks will check it out!

Yes they are pretty universal.

I have scalped NQ and YM. I just prefer ES. Not so many wild swings. ES tends to be more mean reverting so better for averaging down. Which I like to do. And since I scalp 1 to 8 points I can grab 50 dollars on each contract on a very small move. If I were in my 20’s I might stick with NQ but I...

Never heard of Clayburg or his DDY technique. Is that similiar to Crabels ORB?

His chart is a picture of a SPBL (small pullback bull trend) These are some of the strongest trends although not necessarily accompanied by volatility. These are program buying. Every PB is being bought. There is more than one way to trade this: One way is like he did, jumping in and out...

I would take the higher Probability trade. That is trading the PB. See blue notes. This is bar counting. After PB first attempt is L1, second attempt to continue south is L2 or low 2. Context is strong bearish see red arrow down. L2 at MA and two 1 bar trading ranges (i.e. doji) and at MA. Odd...

Usually there can be more than one ok place to put a SL. I usually place it out side the previous swing low or swing high. But will sometimes place it back 2 swing lows or swing highs. Volatility of the moment has something to do with where I will place it. TR SLs can be a bit more tricky. I...

Because shorting in TR PA has high probability trades shorting in top 1/4 and even average scaling in on FBO’s and high probability doing the opposite at the bottom. In bottom 1/4 going long and averaging down on FBO. Why is this higher probability? Because 80% of BO attempts top or bottom of a...

Yes because again I have no idea WHEN it will make down to the bottom of the range. Once all my shorts were in the money and it has gone back a little over 1/3 into the range I took my profits. I was out before that big bear bar went on back down to the bottom. I believe in locking in profits...

Look at my post # 1803 for an explanation for first two. Why third trade? Bottom made on bar 12:10 tracking back up to top of a now established TR. I start shorting in 1/3 to 1/4 top of TR last short entry yes out of top of range by several bars but i just shorted anyway betting it would go back...

Your mind seems made up. Just tell them to:

He has to be misunderstanding the code.

Good I have been real busy the last couple of weeks on a project. Generally, I will short at top of ranges. And go long at the bottom of established ranges. However, if there is a successful BO i.e. a BO that has follow thru (FT) then I will go long at the top. Same thing for a successful BO...

And here is how the session ended. TR within a TR. Plenty of trading opportunities. I just didn't have the time to dedicate to trading. If I can find time will make some comments later on.

Just took another trade 1.5 pts trading the bottom of the TR within a TR. That is it for me today. Got to get back to what I was doing

Just took a quick look and here we have a TR within a TR. I will trade both but just don't have time today. Sometimes we get stair-stepping ranges. A breakout of a range followed immediately by another range outside of the first range. This can happen in sequence even 4 times. That is 4 steps...

None of that stuff matters to me. I am a scalper of 1 to 8 points in ES or equivalent in other indexes. I don't care what happened a few years back or last year or for the most part what happened 3 hours ago. I am more interested in the last 15m. 5m, and 1m. Occasionally will glance at a daily...

While typing the post above we can now see that a TR has been established on the 5min chart. So, I widen the box to include these 33 bars. We got a multi leg down and at bar 10:50 a leg up starts. This likely marks the end of of down move for a bit and established the 5 min TR especially if one...

Here is how I handle adversity after taking a chance on PA that I should not have taken. The 1m chart was over 70 bars sideways movement. However, I decide to enter long at the bottom of the TR anyway. Taking an unwarranted chance. I paid for it! Mistake! So how do I fix this? First let's look...

To show you a live example. Here are the same charts a few min later where I took a trade on the 1 min TRADING RANGE. That was still in a PB stage on the 5 min. Maybe this will help explain things. It was a 1.5 pt trading scalp. Remember I scalp 1 to 8 points.
