Shure it matters, but only if you know what you are doing, otherwise they are just drawing on a chart. I prefer Bars with good reason and I would not change them with candles in a million years, but then that's just me:D

Candles, Bars, wood sticks, don't matter (I am most definitely a Bar man) if you know what you are doing, if you don't...

It is hard to follow a process that is not based on a clear understanding about what goes on, day in, day out on any market. there is no shortcut to trading: first come the understanding, then the process follow, smooth as oil:D

Been there, done that. The market is there to get you, all the time. It is true, not you personally, of course, you as the general trader. Understand why that happens and you will be one step further in the direction of not losing money consistently (making money is the easy part).

Take a breather, go back to trade small until you understand what you are doing, then size up. Warning, it may take you years...

There is no indication for any big crash this week, maybe sometimes in the future, but not this coming week.

Give the money to me or to a charity, they'll end up in better hands than otherwise:D Just asking these kind of questions is a sure sign that you have no clue about what you need to do to even keep these money.:banghead:

does it make sense --> it makes perfect sense can i understand it --> yes, I can, finally does it work --> yes, it seems so, but too small a sample to be sure yet can i do it --> yes I can, still need some fine tuning but yes can i keep doing it --> I don't see why not I would add, Is it...

Well, I guess it would be useful to have a whole spectrum view of what is happening.:D That would allow a trader to do what need to be done when, and only when, the right sign at the right time is sounded:D

M3 you must have a very good eye sight to be able to see all of that on a laptop screen, unless it is a very big laptop:D:D:D

Let's put it like this: a train leave from NYC going west, we don't know exactly where it will end its trip and turn back, it may reach California or stop in Nevada or even Colorado, but before getting there the train stop a little in Detroit then Chicago, Kansas city and Denver (if it goes on...

O of course I said so after the fact as the chart was already after the fact. also I do not have access to MES so I could not trade it even if I wanted. However the setup around 4150-4140 was good for short. in fact I traded something similar on EUR.USD yesterday and made money (way less that...

I totally agree, and it is obvious that the opposite is true, much easier making money jumping on a train when it stop at an intermediate station that trying to get on the train at the final stop before it turns back! However I think that most traders are fixated on the latter (myself included...

it was very clearly a low risk short (around 4140), I would have taken it happily myself!

so my Achille's heel is that I am biased versus entering a trade at a pivot point, I know it is the hardest thing to do but I keep falling into this disastrous behavior. I know better and I am changing my ways but how f.king ingrained is this!:banghead::banghead::banghead: Yet, I see form...

writing started with numbers tax collectors needed to keep accounts of the fields people owned so that the could pay taxes:D

I have had a few thoughts on point C: what every body focus on (me included) is better odds of price moving in your favor, so most of the focus is deciding between going long or short. I am coming to think that while you need to chose between the two, I am moving the focus from where to place...

As for adding to a loser to average in, that is a very risky business unless you know what you are doing and have the tolerance for the drawdown you may experience. But I agree that sometimes it can be advantageous to do so and change the trade TF.

Well, in reality the problem per se is not in giving a lot of power to one person (as for the US president) but for the check and balances to fail (as it happened, to a significant extent, with Trump and 99% of republican senators and congressmen behaving like sheep). Before Trump it has never...

AC would not be much use as it would be "after the fact" :D AD would be quite useless as well as it would not be a box:D AB instead... I think the time dimension is connected but not the main element in drawing the box, I think it is in what happen when price reach the border of the box...
