    Study buddy for Al Brooks books

    I gave you a couple last year Fred. I've also posted a number charts in the past showing setups and why they were setups, now I'm done with these discussions. Everyone can assign credibility where they will. These threads are largely an absurdity.....waiting for Godot.

    The more the ignorance of his work, the louder the criticism. Best to simply ignore the trolling.

    Bad entries - daytrading

    Unless one is automated, all trades are discretionary. One can elect to not take a setup. If by “discretionary” you mean trading without a tested trade plan with defined rules, ie improvising as you go along, then that is a dangerous road to go down.

    Bad entries - daytrading

    I've heard variations of this question over the years. The implied question whether admitted to or even recognized is "how can I avoid losses...how do I avoid risk". There can be no trading success without managing fear.

    Bad entries - daytrading

    A skilled, disciplined trader with a solid well tested trade plan shouldn't have "bad entries". EVERY trader has entries that result in a loss...that's trading.

    I have no idea what Al's P&L might look like but I suspect it's healthy enough. The danger of following a "guru" is the belief that you will be given the "special sauce", strict rules to follow. Al does not teach a methodology but how to understand and recognize price behavior so one can...

    Help me read a chart

    Think of a base simply as a pre-move consolidation. It can have different shapes such as flat, a flag, a triangle, cup and handle etc. The concept is the same. A base can form at a major low or high as a head and shoulders formation or the inverse at a low. In all examples it is storing energy...

    I don't speak for him, only for myself. I find these types of forums largely a waste of time. For a new or developing trader IMO, time would be far better spent studying quality materials, careful and focused observation of price development and in the testing of ideas and strategies than...
