Really a nice trade...without a proper reason to exit yet as all the LSL are intact... This was my NQ/tickQ chart during the entry. As dbphoenix mentioned once, the tickQ is only the icing on the cake and it can be very missleading - but this was very clear... Edit: Btw, this should...

Exit @ Resistance after the the break of the hinge seemed to fail...too early maybe...I'm learning...

Support (Apex of the 16th hinge) + Selling Pressure fading + Tick Divergence = Long... Might not be long lived...but who knows

It's still hard to determine the difference in between plan and bias, but it's getting better. With the intention of gaining orientation I'm attaching a quick "roadmap". It might sound stupid, but with several pictures in mind - also Wyckoff I believe - could this be - in variations of...

Absolutely enlightening, what was posted in terms of stops - thanks! In regards to the demons, the ugly fear of losing is a strange chap. From my experience it is about the loss in general - aka attacking the ego - and not so much about the amount itself. Of course once the account is gone...

It has been (another) long day...for me in old europe... The market and DB taught me another lesson - overall a very good one. So I was able to take a lot of notes and maybe something is about to click... So thanks a lot again and have a great day, guys... Gringo, also thanks for...

Thanks, yes. I'm taking lots of screenshots and have my book at hand all the time. Still it's all pretty unorganized, but I start to implement a review routine now... It's breaking the hinge - and maybe tests 3100 again now...

Midpoint of overnight trading range?

Yes. Have to say that it can be tricky, but in general together with volume at breakouts or extremes it could maybe be "the icing on the cake" - as you mentioned once... It is all not easy for me, but I think I know what to look for and where - and with where I just mean levels found by the...

Thanks DB. In terms of the microscope I have to say that it does not really matter if it's tick or second chart I believe. As I'm also currently experimenting with the NASDAQ tick as an overlay here and volume to show "interest" I found the 5 second chart the best. I'm very slowly getting...

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of back and forward testing and would like to share a trade I just took during the european morning. Not always the best idea but from time to time it provides great opportunities. The point I possibly want to make is that it is the context that matters...

Hinges all over the place... Reading about them is totally different from acting in terms of the context - that is something that I realized. It seemed that a small light bulb went up today... As we were in a macro hinge (1000V) ranging could have been expected. Also the direction break of...

What he says :D

I'm long with the break of the SL as well. From my perspective the last test of 18.70 was also a break of the hinge that failed - another reason to go long. Thanks for pointing it out, gringo! I was watching closely. Lets see how it pans out...

DBPhoenix, it's really great that you keep on helping others in such a fantastic manor. I restarted my journey quite a while ago, but lost quite some time with the usual "short cuts" - all of which you described in the "Developing a plan" sticky at TL. To really get myself on the right...

And a reentry short opportunity would have been the 1520 bar after the bounce from the daily midpoint...?

I believe this is very true specially in combination with the contextual part dbphoenix emphasizes over and over. It actually is all about doing it each and every day. This should lead to discipline and the ability to adapt to the changes of the market. The key here is simplification I guess...

Anyway...you are right.

You mean the test of 79? Did I draw the daily level correctly? The dashed one is what I thought was the 60M hinge, which was tested on the first retrace after the opening push up. The second test was at the premarket resistance (now support), the third was the smal hinge apex level which...

Yes, I was refering to the waves on the 1M chart. As for the daily, my "bias" would been rather long simpy because we took out the 6th low by only a bit coming close to the midpoint of the upmove. Volume gives no real clues here, would you agree? At least, there is nothing exceptional... In...
