If it touches it and the offer is 1 tick higher and I take the offer, what will happen??? :eek:

Nice work, Oracle! Trading that crazy CL contract under all these constraints is not easy! :cool:

Price is trending up with previous consolidation holding as support on the 2-leg pullback. Starting at the left side of the chart, notice how you can buy the close of any pullback bar (a bar that breaks the low of a previous bar and stays closed below it) and throw on a 20-tick stop and...

Counter-trend trading was the most expensive thing I've ever done in my life. It was a cancer for me as well and took a long time to eradicate. I now take trades counter to the trend, but only when the trend is traversing a wide channel, the R:R is favorable and the market signals once and...

I use the same core strategies with CL, ES, SPY, and a variety of actively traded stocks and ETFs. I've looked at a chart of NQ and the same strategies would work with that. I've also looked at ZN, same strategies work. My strategies are based on pure price action, so the only adjustments...

Surf guarantees that his price driver method always picks the right direction, but sometimes the timing's off. Just because you guys can't trade his system doesn't mean it isn't really good. :D

:) I had a very difficult time getting through Brooks' book (I never did read the entire thing, only about 3/4 of it), but as a full time trader, I quickly caught on to a few of his concepts and turned them to my advantage. I own Volman's book and now recommend it to anyone interested in...

I trade intraday counter trend strategies, but only in a channeling trend wide enough to allow for a qualifying risk:reward ratio.

Stage Three: The Cynical Skepticism Stage You've studied so hard and put so much effort into your trading and this universal failure in the patterns only when you take them causes you to feel betrayed by the market, the books and materials and gurus you tried to learn from. Everybody claims...

As a price action trader, I think it's important to know in advance what you will do. I don't use mental stops, but if I did, I'd still place a disaster stop in case of any sort of disaster (platform failure, connectivity issue, PC crash, unexpected news, rumors, etc.). If I didn't use...

How much do they pay you per view?

I like that strategy! You're tackling something a lot more complex here, but it will start to click over time.

Hope you don't mind Ms. Buttinski's comments here :p Regarding your first two trades, those small pullbacks in a clear uptrend are places to buy until the trend ends. Notice the difference in price action where you put on your 3rd trade. Specifically, price broke the low of a previous...

Risk management technique? :D

Risk:reward is only part of the equation for trading success. Win rate is the other core part. And, finally, sample size lets you know how many consecutive trades are needed on average to realize the positive expectancy indicated by the win rate/R:R combo. If you want to have a flexible trade...

:cool:

Something like a level of support during a pullback from a higher high in an up-trending channel?

I've already publicly demonstrated my TA skills for several years on ET's forum, in ET's old chat room, and in a few Skype groups. I was actually trading while doing this, so there was no lost opportunity. Last year you kept challenging me to demonstrate skills already demonstrated several...

Wow. Looking at the approximate current income of everyone I know, only three meet your criteria for a "good career" and they are all entrepreneurs who run their own businesses. I'm pretty sure that comes out to less than 5% of the people I know. Kind of like the numbers attributed to...

This was posted on ET a few years ago: “Being disciplined in the past isn’t good enough: on each and every trade you must be disciplined. Forever. Like a drunk in a program you can NEVER slip off the wagon.”
