The charts I post are QT charts and they're not an absolute match for the more accurate IB charts.

Print the three charts I posted on my "Difficult" thread and practice only seeing the with-trend opportunity at a hard right edge that looks like a reversal. Self-talk is really helpful. "The trend is clearly up. Price action definitely favors the bulls. The bulls are in control and are making...

Hi Bob, Let me know if you didn't get my message. D

Hey, if Bro Surf said it, it must be true!

I'm curious which PA concepts would qualify that as support? The first PA-based support level I see 85.68.

There's no way to determine an MAE or R:R from your statement at 12:45 ET that with a new HOD having printed at 86.80 your models indicate it's time to switch to shorting weak stocks. Even if a trader got filled at the high tick of 86.80 in QQQ, the R:R can only be calculated based on what...

No, I asked people who PM’d me for help to identify a specific price action pattern (which I described in detail) over a 2-week period (10 trading days) and conduct a specific analysis of the price action surrounding each appearance of that setup. Maybe some have done it, but none has...

Since this thread is about why profitable trading is so difficult and there are non-pikers chiming in about how laughable it is for a profitable trader to trade piker size (which, for the purpose of this challenge, I'll define as less than 6 lots of CL, NG and 6E, less than 10 lots of ES, and...

Sure is! I once spoke with a scalper who traded 10's but he didn't seem to be swimming in profits based on the convo.

On this point I totally agree. I don't trade like Al Brooks, but my trading is based on several concepts I learned from him. I don't trade like AustinP, but a video he posted a link to almost 4 years ago planted the seed that grew into my personal trading plan. I don't trade like Bob...

Welcome. :cool:

So many people asked me for help here and it always seemed to turn into a game of "Yes, but..." So I decided to give a little test first to see how serious someone was in wanting help. I'd give a simple "homework" assignment to find a specific setup under specific conditions and do a...

Here it is in a nutshell: http://www.ericberne.com/games-people-play/why-dont-you-yes-but/

Piker size. I love that phrase. As if 99% of the members here have a true grasp of the leverage they're playing with when they trade a single futures contract. CL is a highly leveraged and often volatile contract with a fraction of the liquidity of the S&P futures. To put it into...

Break even exit. Taking a break before FOMC. Good trading to all :)

Notice how I've been in a single trade since 12:37 eastern time. It's still technically chop and there's no reason to do anything else here.

Watching for 2nd visit to VWAP and interim LTL. Still looking at .81 target zone.

If you pay attention to VWAP, "they" just bought it.

I was surprised to see it defended so strongly. ADD: OK, I see there's a micro trend line being defended ahead of the low.

96.97 is likely to ignite a cascade effect to the downside if it trades before 97.06 trades.
