I'd love an example!

As a pure price action day trader, this information would be of no use to me whatsoever.

Maybe this time it's the same...as the breakout in the early 1980's through the millennium peak: http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/historical/spx1960.html That was a helluva run!

By the way, have you ever read Bob Volman's Forex Price Action Scalping?

Just as an exercise, open a spreadsheet and label several columns to represent fixed stop/target combos: 10/10 15/15 20/20 10/15 10/20 15/20 I'm suggesting these small targets because you're trading off a 1-min chart with a 15-second chart for reference (NoD makes sign of...

I trade CL all day long and am flat at the close. As for trading gold on the short side over the past year, since I've never traded gold I must've missed the post last year where you told us to do that.

Exactly. I have contextual filters for when I will trade "previous S becomes R; previous R becomes S" based on studies of the visual representation of price action leading into the instances when it worked vs. when it failed (by that I mean it resulted in a significant price swing vs. blew right...

Big Mike's is like some kind of magnet for CL journals. There's a lot of technical information there, probably information overload. You don't want to end up on an eternal quest for the Holy Grail when the simplicity of technical price action trading is right in front of you. One guy actually...

After-the-fact analyses like yours can turn out to be the basis for real-time consistent success. Define things that occur around significant price swings and apply those definitions to previous days' charts to see which ones produce consistent profitability over time. That's how I developed my...

As I mentioned in my previous detailed post here, I found that I needed a very specific framework to work with. I chose the 5-min chart because it’s easy to see intraday S/R levels, a lot of “intraday eyes” are watching the levels there, and my technical price action mentors (Bighog and Al...

Seriously, the ET-ers who've demonstrated to me that they know what they're doing have all been very helpful :)

GOD is our higher power; I believe you meant to say I'm the Queen of Price Action :D :D

The pullback was waaay too shallow for this to be a strong counter-trend entry point, IMHO.

Yes, I see a few issues including over trading. I use the 5-min chart as my core and only reference the 1-min chart for precision entries that fit my max stop parameters. Mac, your trade entries seem odd and inconsistent. I can't discern a pattern from them. Often it looks like you're chasing...

I called several trades in real-time over in CL Redux between 11:30 and 13:00 central time demonstrating my scalping technique during the least desirable time of day for me. I was expecting an upside break for a test of the high, but I didn't "marry" my expectations and when the 5-min 20EMA...

Out for a tick, calling it a day, good weekend all!

Was just about to buy .99 a couple mins ago and cancelled, it should run nicely now :D Edit: L .04

VWAP there @ .82, line in the sand for the longs.

Megaphone formation on the 1-min chart. I read somewhere that's supposed to be bearish. Let's see how well these talking heads know their stuff!

No real traction here either way. Flat 5-min EMA, not my cup of tea...
