JW- Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the HOTM and ORH are synonymous. I also use the first half hour to indentify the range. I do not take the premarket highs/lows into account when identifying the OR... Anyone have any rules/strategy for trading the “gap” from the...

mdl , you probably are familiar with most of these..... LOTM - low of the morning HOTM - high of the monring ORH - opening range high ORL - opening range low PDH - previous day high PDL - previous day low EOD - end of the day can anyone else think of any that I am missing.

correction: foolish...not fullish :eek:

Casper, Seem like I take a couple of full stops a day. Most of my full stops come from fullish trades, but I could stand to sharpen my entries on my good trades as well. Also, I have been working on trailing my stop further behind, trying to let my winners run....so I am trying to get...

Each buy/sell is sent with a 2 point stop. After my order is filled, I look to tighten...if possible.

Traded poorly this morning, made up for it in the afternoon session. I need to work on taking entries closer to support/resistance. 6 trades + .25 1-Loser 2-Loser 3-Loser 4-Winner 5-Loser 6-Winner

8 trade +12.25 I am working on letting my winners run. Unfortunately, because of that I allowed a couple of profitable trades turn into a full stop and a breakeven. 1) loser – full stop 2) loser – had +2.25…ended up taking a full stop. 3) BE – had +3.5 4) winner 5) loser...

Came across this post from Piscuy in the AHG journal.... The question Piscuy posted was: "What is the difference between a good or a bad trade for you people. Here was his answer: "There are some very good answers and I decided to bring the subject up especially for the good and...

Nice...I like the idea of having a flat screen mounted on the wall.

Spec, Here are the instruction for getting into the chat room. Hat tip to jfw215 for posting (page 93 of this journal) BYF

Spec, Do you enter via stop order or at the market? BYF

Shorty, As long as you are not receiving commission for the trades you place, I do not believe you will be required to have Series 7 or be associated with a BD. You should also be able to use IB as custodian for your accounts. Technically they will be the broker. If your only intention is...

Maybe he was using the loan for a non-essential purchase and did not want to deplete his emergency saving. Sounds responsible. Just a thought.

you might consider trying a slower chart. I have been using a 10,000 vol with a 100,000 anchor (ES). I have found that I take fewer trades than I have in the past, but the setup are more reliable. I am not against trader using fast charts, but I get too caught up in the "noise" that they...

good eyes

J, You raise a great point and it probably would have been prudent to pass on this one. I decided to enter because price had broken a trendline, and made a LH & a LL. Very similar to what it had done at the open. I shorted after seeing a 3bar, but got stopped out pretty quickly. BYF

Sniemiec, 1st- decided to get long position after price broke out of the W pattern(@ LOD) and above a minor support level. Entered right above the support line with my stop place underneath. I should have been more patient . 2nd & 3rd Two minor LH’s had printed and price traded below...
