What are you trading?

I think you were onto the reversal but just got shaken out. Granted, it was only about a 2 hour or so trade. Not sure what your typical holding period is.

Do you use broker import feature or are you entering your trades manually?

I usually do it after but then annotate it to show where I entered. What time frames are you usually trading?

Bugsy: I'm a Trademetria subscriber as well. I use Snip & Sketch to take screen shots of charts and annotate them and then post them in my Daily Journal. I use the Historical Performance tab to look at each day's P/L and each month's P/L. If you use Key Metrics tab, I track Win Rate, Win...

Tall Mike: I'm not a fan of Tom / TastyTrade and we'll leave it at that.

TallMike: I saw the title of the post and I knew it came from you. What "gurus" are you talking about? I assume Tom from TastyTrade is one of them?

I have just discovered the scans on TC2000 (v19/20) and they seem to work extremely well. Much more customizable -- I can even use custom indicators for scans.

So a crossover strategy should be able to be easily back-tested. Can anyone show a consistent edge with one?

How many times do we have to have these kinds of debates? Whatever works for you and fits your personality is all that should matter.

Don't confuse a "V" shaped economic recovery with a "V" bottom in the stock market.

Ken: Good morning. That seems like an arbitrary measure. What if you changed your thought process to selling strength into resistance rather than selling weakness? One of the issues a lot of people have is becoming memorized by current price action -- for instance, assuming that weakness...

And a bull market that is supported by our federal government! The market is now too big too fail!

Ken: Greetings! I hope you are well. I think I mentioned this before, go read "The Zurich Axioms," particularly Axioms 1 and 2. Always play for meaningful stakes! Best wishes!

And just keep in mind, recording / tracking your trades is equally, if not more important (IMO) than just the journal part. I use Trademetria and it gives me my P/L each day and each month (I can look at each trade too). Just seeing those numbers on a daily basis -- I can't hide from that. I...
