I had a meeting to go to this morning so I personally didn't get to trade after 6:45 PST time. But this is how my charts looks like and I got to put on 2 contracts. Hopefully, this helps show you the big picture of things a little bit. The thing that I hope you get out of this is, don't...

Yeah, I would agree it's hard to watch multi charts. I two watch 2 markets. CL is one of those markets just just make watching 2 charts really hard. Which ones do you watch ddlee?

Well, after visiting with one of my friends about how I post my charts on this site I've re-evaluted it and am now changing the style of my chart. I hope to post more often. I had to take care of my little girl during my normal trading hours 5-9am PST time so it's been kinda hard to trade...

The only reason that I can figure that he went long is looking at the hammers that formed on the previous 2 bars. If it was me I would have been closer to the bottom of the hammers trying to go long and see how it tested the high around 88.20. However, since I don't see the previous downtrend...

Personally, I believe in a lot of discipline in trading. Yet I still am not as good in that area as I would like to be either. If you can't see your trades 10 minutes or more out and already have a profit target, and stop loss set when you enter the market. I personally should not be...

Well today I just traded the CL. It was a good day. I don't have much time nowday considering I'm now a say @ home dad with a 3 month old. It's very demanding. I've change things around just a little bit and am now using the 5min. with a 1 min side by side. So I can look inside the bars a...

I thought today was an excellent day on almost every market that I watch. It seems that everyone is back from vacation? So as I look at the charts I really see retracements happening right where they were supposed to especially in the CL. They lined up with my price action zones that I use to...

Well, got up today and couldn't resist simming some trades on the CL. So here's what I did. I'm sad that I didn't watch the charts all day and get some of the $2.00 move. Right now it seems so easy to sim. Yet I know that when it comes time to go live. There is definitely some...

Well, I woke up late, been sleeping in since I'm on trading vacation. I woke up and simmed this trade on crude oil just because it looked so good! Sure enough good for 25 ticks. Should have done it live! (SCW) Well, it's vacation and look what I'm doing, gosh! I've also been playing...

The markets are so lame it's not even funny! It's like nobody is trading today. Good to take this week off for sure! I'm trying some new fib addons right now, they look kinda interesting. Happy Holidays!

I like what you have to say about the counter trades. Here's my chart. I made one goof today at the very end with a counter trend trade forgot about the pull back and it cost me 10 ticks. Figures since I was trading outside my zones; that's what I get! I'm going to start drawing trend...

Well, those the markets are definitely getting more rangy. I stayed out of ES all together today and just traded CL with a 2 trades on 6E for 12 ticks. December has cause price to do really strange things to my zones. I'm not waiting for a 2 bar zone touch before I take anything. I've...

ES chart

Cruddy day in crude oil. Well, I looked at ES and CL and a little at ZF. Simmed the day after seeing the small range and lack of momentum in the Globex hours. After watching this video from 50pip.com (forex swing traders) http://50pipsfx.com/ I agreed with them and thought that in...

I look at it like this. We all know that your trading capital won't last long when you are positive then let it come on your stop loss for a loss. I unfortunately did that for a couple days myself when I was live back in Sept. Moral of the lesson was "protect your capital" I don't mind...

Today I simmed the CL with some pretty good result. 1. price touch my first lower zone. I bought it out for a nice little profit trailing my stop hard because I saw price had come down so hard on this zone. 2.I missed a HUGE trade at 6:50am PST when price went down and touch my second...

ES chart

Should 'da, Could 'da, Would'da (SCW) is what I'm calling it. Today, I had one SCW on the market. had 1 trade on ES that I was to busy looking at my other markets and talking on skype that I didn't see it! So I really need to cut down on the talking during the trading. The one trade that...

After reading some articles from Micheal Douglas about his trading books like "trading in the zone", I have decided to post "my checklist" everyday as well. It's basically a plan that evaluates every trade on a 1-10 scale. The hope is to be a very disciple trader and only take the most...

Well, I'm more then happy to help! Just following the footprint of big/smart money. It's not hard once you understand it. Here's another great video that I came across last night. http://www.fxstreet.com/webinars/sessions/session.aspx?id=82564935-63cf-47be-9683-e8f5ecee780e. and...
