to share the lessons i learnt the hard way i need to write like Brooks at least 3 books. that is how hard trading is and make no mistake about it is like being no1 in the world in any sport.ie almost impossible. as the great Seykota once advised if you cannot watch a profitable trader and learn...

that is why i stopped trading my own money and am trading TOp step. like you say i am an idiot but you do not know what i am trying to do which is not make money but to be the best trader ever. whether i do it or not is another issue but that is what i am trying to do.i am not like you and...

AMEN

then thou shall be provided with that, in the charts i post. the position i am presently may be seen where i put the blue arrow, just below the time

so far so good

i found that but it only shows arrow which indicates buy and sell points on the chart. is that good enough? or if you want entry and exit at exact levels like ' long 5436 closed 5438 ' that is easy to do. you can also see the open position rate just below the time as shown in chart below...

so what did you eat in your last meal?

my exit was good in my first trade but i did not see the big picture because i was concentrating on trade management. also i was sure that there will be a test of the low. this was a mistake in this case. if i had been aware of that i would have looked for an opportunity to enter. I was...

i am also learning to read the bigger picture and since i have learnt the smaller picture for 20 years i can now hold through the smaller fluctuations: these have the horrible tendency of confusing me into small trades which then reverse rapidly when the bigger picture kicks in, leading in big...

looks like an up trend day from now on. the elephant in the room is momentum and you have to gauge momentum if you want to enter at right places. both up and down momentum can be seen from market structure. And along with price action you can enter like a pro. but these trading range days with...

i am back on ET thanks. That was a sweet comment -not many comments of that nature on ET. really really got me right there in the heart i never was away from trading but was terribly busy learning a lot of things. I am sure this is the most horribly difficult profession and as humbling as...

there is enough clutter as it is and I do not want this to be about me: but just to show one way of approaching the market. That would be more helpful to traders who are trying to understand what the market does rather than just showing where i entered and exited: no one will have a clue why i...

exited just after i took the screen shot. Market tried twice to cross yellow line and might fail so, discretion being the better part of valor, i exited.also there were two touches of the blue line or two attempts to cross the blue line so may expect corrective move

another possibility is the yellow channel

the blue channel may be in play here

some fun a games with a sim account i dream of the day when i can trade like this with a live account....nothing more to be said

:D:D:D:D

Babu? what on earth? are you Indian? but your comment was very insightful

damn right. now i can do both but i do not like scalping....commissions kill you when the market does not. i tried the short game for decades. i suck in it in golf and trading. only plus was i learnt about the market, so much that the market, can never ever shake me out of my swing...
