Austin's trading methods are different from mine (he's not a scalper). Since neither you nor I know his method, it's not our place to determine whether the price action in CL offers him enough opportunities to meet his trading goals. On the scalping side of CL, however, how about those trend...

What he said, Risto. I've given an analysis assignment to at least a dozen people who've asked me for help with trading. Here it is over a year later and I've yet to see a spreadsheet with the MFE/MAE stats. Even an analysis of 20 trades would be a start.

It definitely proves there's an edge trading with the trend :D

Since you're asking about tomorrow, I'm assuming you're interested in the view of someone who is currently in a swing short position or looking to initiate a new swing position based on tomorrow's action. Yesterday, price briefly pierced the upper channel line of an interim channel and sold off...

TJ, did you change your mind about the put side buy?

This survey is for those who doubt day trading can be profitable either because they've been unable to find an edge or they believe there are no edges that retail traders can exploit consistently. 1. Have you tested at least a week's worth of the trend line breakout pullback setups on the...

There you have it, proof that technical trading is profitable :p

Your head fake at the open was this scalper's trend :p

If you're not compelled to trade this setup, no hard feelings. :cool:

My mentor linked me to your site years ago...many thanks!

The unicorn Bigfoot cloud bunny traders strike again!

Here are a couple of my favorites: "If doubt seems to hinder you while you're working, it's because you either haven't decided what to do yet, or you're letting yourself reconsider your decision while you're supposed to be carrying it out." - David Cain “Being disciplined in the past...

2008??? How is it possible that freakin' breakout pullback setup is still working??? :D :p :D (Speaking of getting out more, it's hiking time!!!)

Someone emailed it to me years ago and I placed it in a humor file and thought of it when I read Surf's observation. :D I replaced whatever place the scientist was from with Wisconsin because it's in the Midwest!

I don't know, db, sounds an awful lot like he's describing that Big Foot unicorn fairy tail setup we keep hearing about from the charlatans here: "A lift from there broke through R1 (thin green line) and pulled back in methodical fashion before lifting to R2." :D

Perhaps he learned to trade by studying Al Brooks' "Reading Price Charts Bar By Bar" :p

A scientist from the University of Wisconsin is conducting studies on flies. He anesthetizes a fly and places it on his lab table. When the fly comes to, he loudly tells the fly to fly away. The fly flies away. He anesthetizes a second fly, removes one wing, and puts it on the table. When...

I guess that makes you a market satan (charlatan), as I’ve seen no evidence that you or your well-connected friends have a sustainable edge in the markets, yet you appear as the angel of light to save the noobs from those who have demonstrated via live trade calls and positive expectancy...

Yes, that one drove me crazy because I wanted desperately to use pencil and paper on a few of them so I could remain within the time constraint. I didn't know what was more important time or accuracy, so on those questions I just guessed and moved on. I got 119. Hey, we're still Lake...

As highlighted above from your post, I'm in the group that has an edge and I also execute low risk strategies. My max risk on a trade is 1.2% of my trading account.
