Its like poetry. It might be brilliant. It might be nonsense. It is best read by turning off part of the brain and letting the words melt together and wash over you.

If you can make 3k only risking $200 at a time just fund your account with the 3k you have and start doing it. I think the big lesson you learned in your "prop" experience is that you are a breakeven/loser in real life but your insanity won't let you admit it to yourself. You claim to...

It seems there are only 2 possibilities here based on your results so far. 1. Your model does not calculate FV accurately. Or 2. Markets are driven by fear, greed and speculation, therefore FV is irrelevant. You seem very smart in a weird sort of way so maybe you should...

In case that was still confusing the idea is to find stocks that on average have the most move left after hitting an A level, however you choose to calculate it. Oh and that last point you made about prefering to trade A failures, is just style preference as Maverick has pointed out. If you...

I should add that if you calculate A levels as a % of ATR this is obviously pointless. I personally have been using that noise levels indicator I posted about earlier because I understand how it is calculated, it makes logical sense to me, and seems to work better than A levels. I used A...

Maverick has already given some good ideas on this. Another one I have had: Take the average distance over maybe a 20 day period between the A up and the A down(We can call this the A range I guess) and divide it by the 20 day ATR. Focus on those stocks with the "A range" being the smallest...

Coach: You are the best. Me: I know! Coach: No seriously, the world is your oyster, it just doesn't know it yet. Me: The fools! Coach: Bide your time. When the fruit is ripe you will harvest. In the meantime perfect yourself. You are on the edge of immortality, just stay the...

I modified an existing pivot indicator for ninja trader to plot the daily pivot zone as calculated in the ACD book. To use you need to change the pivot type to "fibonacci" as that is the type I modified.

I took a course that included long term mentoring and that turned my trading around. It only cost 1/10th of the money I had lost to that point. If a course includes mentoring I believe that makes a huge difference.

Post your real money stats and people might take you seriously. I was a great papertrader too. Or you could combine all these essays on how awesome you are into a brochure. Either way you can't go wrong with your rare combo of earth shattering talent and fierce humility.

People always say "our" and "we" like that makes the non existent company real lol.

My bad was thinking 1 minute data. But....saw on another forum today last 10 years tick data for free download. If your gonna get pirated data might as well get it for free lol. Don't ask where, Google it if you want it. 1 min data is good enough for me and I'm content buying it from a legal...

The initial premise for this trade was a fib retracement if I recall correctly. Is that still the trade? Or is this just a buy and hold now?

The biggest lesson I have learned is that trading for a living is not realistic for most people, including me. For me and most people coming up with a 100k account is pretty much impossible. Lets say I did the nearly impossible and got 100k together. Lets say I earn 40%. That figure is...

Been thinking about this and brainstorming some ideas for selection. From the ACD book: Numberline ideas Stocks that have hit + or -7 for the first time in a while. Stocks that have hit 0. Other ideas some from stuff you have posted: Stocks near a monthly or quarterly A up that...

My posts and trades in 2003 fit that pattern. :) Sadly one of the big lessons I learned is that I can't successfuly trade in my current position. I do get some satisfaction from the fact that in my last account I was able to daytrade profitably for about a year.

I've had some success in some "elite" military programs and schools. One in particular has a 90% failure and quit rate. I would estimate that of those that were qualified to be there and were committed to finishing, the pass rate was well over 60%. The bulk of the failures guaranteed they...

It seems this means to be profitable with this style you need to be looking for potential multi day trends (using the number line?) and holding days to weeks to book a big win. For strictly daytrading especially equities it seems you would be best off looking to take smaller profits off...

Maybe you should read your first post and decide if you have really learned from your past mistakes.
