Yes, but he has to short or buy the 1-2 min reversal signals at the end of the 8-9% move, if he wants to follow Spanish' instructions. Good weekend everybody!

Man, I hate counter trend trades. But I had only those signals for the 4 legs up. I need to do more testing to relax the with trend signals a bit, so I don't miss these fast trends. Trade #1: +0.14 May be it was a bit brave since the breakout just happened, but there was yesterdays high, so...

yep.

Actually, I do the same as Hooti, I am marking all my signals on the chart as the day progresses. It is easier with 5 min tf, but one could do it easily on 2 or 3 min as well. It helps the focus, and at the end of the day you can evaluate more easily. I also take a snapshot of each signal and I...

It is great that you post again. I read most of your posts and followed your progress and it is really helpful for us the retail crowd. Especially, to see that it is possible at all to trade profitably. Thanks for your words on my strategy and journal, it helps a lot. I am aware that the...

Thanks for the link. Do I look like I am stressed? DO I LOOK LIKE I AM STRESSED???? Well, I am really not stressed until the transmit button is pressed. And even then is not really stress but some elevated-changed state of mind. (may be it is stress , I am not a shrink (yet)). I like...

Thanks. Was too cautious ....

I would think oil should drop on such news, but what do I know :)

Quote for today and the future

I have just finished reading your journal. Thanks for sharing your travel. It is almost a year you started it and I see progress, I wish I can tell that in a year myself. You got many great advices from jokepie and others. Please, continue, and post charts if it is not much of a hassle.

1 trade today with 2 mistakes, so I stop for the day , it seems that I am not in the right mindset again. #1: PnL = -0.15 About the trade: Entry was valid, I was thinking though to filter it due to the double top looking PA, and that the HOD was close by. Anyway I entered, but then my mind...

trades #5 and #6

#1 : with trend signal : -0.16 #2 : counter trend signal : -0.12 Misread the PA. I was expecting a retrace to the 20 ema, but it already happened as you can see, just did not touch the MA. So I was betting on a horse race already finished. I have to focus more, I was impatient. #3...
