Thanks. I haven’t ditched it. It’s just sidelined at the moment. There are quite a few on ET that trade 1 or 2 markets day in and day out. There difference I thought of when trading over many markets was that when trading multiple markets, I can can find when a specific environment is present...

In my lifetime ?

Thanks. At one point in my trading journey I did have a positive expectancy over quite a few live trades. The reason this was different than prior times was not only were the tools I was using extremely helpful in my TA but I was following a consistent approach daily. I keep this time in my...

Hey Dozu. Welcome! Glad to hear from you. Great to have traders like you around here. My edge - by definition in the first portion would be a simple way to consistently determine the chances of price moving way over another. This could be as simple as s/r , trendline, pattern etc. The one...

This makes sense, but if a discretionary trader is trying to be a human robot in the sense of repeated actions and the example "edge" above of playing an expected s/r line is in fact valid, why wouldn't they just automate it. Not being entirely rule based would suggest additional variables or...

I think I am trying to understand my blind spot here. I am not saying automating is not a good option, but why have the old timers that sing the same mental song not all done this. Many of them mix in some automation, but have not fully done it. There is something I am missing here on the...

To summarize what I am doing today - I took a friends trading plan outline and made a broad version of it my own. I have addressed as many emotions as I can think of relative to trading and put a solution to those unknowns in the trading plan. There were some I didn't think of so as they pop...

While I sit waiting for my condition/setup to arrive , I will be re-reading Trading In The Zone.

Really nice of you to write it that way. Some people on these boards are so good with words. I am pretty sure becoming an author as a second career path would have worked out.

So I have been around these boards for a very long time and met some fantastic people and traders. I am fully aware that opening this thread could lead to some pretty wild answers. I have spoken with most of the older seasoned people on here going back 10 years. There are some really amazing...

handle123 - it has been quite a long time since I have posted here. I saw you seemed to have a connection to RN. I shot him an email recently and have not heard back. He has no obligation to respond but I wanted to see if you knew if he was ok. Sorry about the public thread here. The private...

So Finviz is fantastic in the way it displays charts in a screening. The 2 issues I am having is that I need to put custom overlays on the charts that the screener outputs. I signed up for the Elite version and it doesn't allow for that. I also need it in different TFs and not just the Daily...

Stop thinking and acting like a retail trader.

Because he trades and thinks like a retail trader which has no bearing on the market. Retail traders accounts don't matter . If you think like a retail trader you will get what a retail trader usually gets. They usually lose. Making 1% then becomes 1 in a million

So I have had my two biggest winning days ever since the history of my trading. I think Im in the right direction, but I continue to learn how the markets really work. I have not been posting all of the details of my trades as I don't want to check with someone that has been helping me prior...

Wrr - today will move

Wrr

WRR It looked like the run up to 11:10 was going to be a break out so I was looking for a long entry. Then the price action said otherwise up until now which is 12:15. I will still go either direction pending what price is telling me. Short 12:30 - Target backside of prior channel - stop...

Long biased into tomorrow
