And if so, can you give me some pointers?! I've read a few books now and watched a few long video courses too, but each time, I go to my screen, and realise i've kind of learn nothing ACTIONABLE! I can tell you how te VPOC is calculated and what it means, same with value areas, I can name...

What about the low on Friday? Was it obvoiusly gonna make that hard move down? How did people know to wait for the low? (i'd have jumped in long much earlier if not for people telling me to wait) For example, this person called this around the market open (when price was 3705): low ended up...

it worked out very nice overall since entry was close to the low tick at 03 and it got up to 16. (some of for +10, some off for +3 when price came back near entry later on. Very nice overall). BUT none of that is the point of the thread tbh. It's about trying to work out how they do it...

How about todays low? Any good reason for that? Some people called it before market open so it must have been some sort of 'level' (obviously it's around the previous days high for one, but many times that same trade fails. But he has very strong conviction on the level. Why. Maybe some sort of...

Long here 07 - front run of yest. highs this is a long apparently

I guess one can always find a reason in hindisght due to the nature of TA, but I thought i'd start a thread to help us spot/explain intraday turns and stuff. (or even just 'obvious' trades (to everyone else) / moves that you didn't catch) Start with yesterday. The low made soon after the open...

no chart to share today, but lost 50 ticks on the day. 8 trades. 3 winners. Hard to read it for me today. Erratic moves so far: day 1: +25 ticks day 2: +139 ticks day 3: +97 ticks day 4: -93 ticks day 5: -50 ticks

is there not a way to just stop someone from posting in your threads? The 'ignore' function should do that really, but doesn't seem too. Likewise the block fuction. Other forums seem to accomplish this better

ha! Worst day in while. Very tough, choppy action for me. -93 ticks I guess that was always gonna happen. Cursed myself by starting a journal day 1: +25 ticks day 2: +139 ticks day 3: +97 ticks day 4: -93 ticks

i don't know how to program and so running a massive backtest isn't possible. I have to do it manually, scrolling through charts, seeing whether i'd have entered the trade or not, and sometimes it's hard to see the context that you might have had in real time. Plus there's lots of discretion to...

I will journal my attempts at trying to trade the ES/MES. Long time 'newbie' (e.g, been trading for many years but yet to be consistently profitable) using TA. Hoping that a journal will help me see things I don't see that others may see (such as where I do well, where I do bad, how best to spot...

brilliant trade

anyone noticed we've had a little drop last few days?

thanks for the well wishes! :) I cost-averaged in a fair bit. Got a bit too hairy to be posting my trades in here at that point! I'm down pretty heavy on the day still at the moment, but it's all good. Only a few days worth of gains lost. I've had an amazing 6 months so can't complain We'll see...
