here's a 1 minute and a 500 tick chart, there was not much difference today but if you notice when there is less trading activity on the tick chart you get less bars, so part of the reason I like the 500 tick better is because no trading activity means less bars and no reason to trade or reason...

I think you misunderstood what I meant by no one gives you a chance, you are correct no doji has helped me a ton and db is no doubt a terrific trader that knows the market, i mean you have to do this yourself, any chatroom or journal following will not make you a good trader, you must have to...

The fact of the matter is if all of us just followed the process without hesitation and didn't worry about every little aspect of the market and didn't have our p/l turned on we would be far better off and some of us would actually be trading live not just on a sim. Nobody gives you a chance...

Pretty sure he has stated several times he like SLA better than taylor

That was my point in saying that I shouldn't have been looking for the reversal. My plan netted alot of points today granted today there were alot of points to be made but your plan is only good if you have the confidence to follow it and today I left alot of points on the table. It's not what...

after reviewing the afternoon trades the mistake I made was looking for the big reversal that never came, there were only lower highs on each swing but the double and triple bottom made me look for longs, I guess that's why it's called chop but I will review my method for chop and have more...

So until about 130cst I was up around 50 points for the day then we entered the chop so the next phase of my method is going to be finding a way to deal with chop, some quit trading at 10cst but if you look at the last few weeks most of the good moves have come after then so I prefer to trade...

I do believe that there are certain areas to look at for possible change of pace or direction such as the 50% level of any move but for me personally I can't watch a 20 point gain turn into a 10 point I would rather take a trade in the other direction and the reenter in the direction of the main...

What I really like about the sla is it gives you the chance to let price move some what without getting out with every little wiggle, also if you follow the rules it's possible to be wrong more than right and still make many points, this morning is a good example of that with the 40 plus point...

Was not able to trade today but I'm exited for the chance on Friday, here is what my method shows today!

even with some mistakes today the market offered 45 points trading 2 contracts

The best thing about pnf charts is support and resistance are easier to see also pay attention to the trend lines as long as they are 45 degrees they are legit

Use the last swing high or low and see if it holds

short trade as prices fail to go higher

The fact the market would not go lower around 840 cst gives us a clue that it would go higher causing a long trade at 3691

Resistance for Wednesday is 3720 or so, support is 3695, 3670 and 3650

So the short was never triggered until late in the day, nothing but higher highs and lows it was late afternoon before any shorts could have been taken

If we get to 3670 it could set up a good shorting opportunity but I would wait until we get a confirmation

Here is what I saw today in the 500 tick nq, by using a 500 tick chart I believe the price action is easier to read. Over the weekend I read about 1/2 of the book the Taylor trading technique, even though it is an absolute hard read there is good information in it and I believe combined with...
