Try something a bit more intellectually rigorous than fill-in-the-blank. True/False would be a good start. You can then work your way up.

You bet. Note also that these will change with each instrument traded, which is why they are part of the characterization process. They may also change with the season and with the position in the market trend, i.e., early or late, which is why price-action approaches are self-correcting and...

Maximum Favorable Excursion and Maximum Adverse Excursion (though technically it should be Maximum Adverse Incursion). In other words, how far does price go before turning back on itself and how deeply does price recoil after you've made your entry? For example, if your trade soars as soon as...

The SLA trader's quandary: do I exit at my entry, or do I exit at a break of the line? What if the stairstep is still intact? What if it isn't? Edit, 10m later: Note that price did in fact break the line and began ranging again. This, to repeat, keeps the trader out of losing trades and gives...

I'll point this out in case somebody wants to do something with it: Edit: Looks like I got this posted just in time :)

Oops! So the "grail system" loses 54pts while the SLA is up well over a hundred. Hmmm. Eeny, meeny, miney, moe . . .

You take such extraordinary pride in being stupid. In a way, it's almost admirable.

Also nice. But don't move on quite yet. Review the rules and learn as much as you can from this while it's still fresh. Note, for example, after 1530 that longs and shorts are both "stopped out". This prevents you, unless you're stubborn, from trading further as long as price ranges. Also tote...

Grindr user outs anti-gay GOPer’s dick pic: ‘How can you vote against the person you’re trying to pick up?’

There was a thread not long ago that I can't remember the title of that had something to do with turning points. For me it was when I was able to stop thinking about the money, to turn off anything on the platform that had to do with points gained and lost, money gained and lost, percentages of...

Let me know one way or another what you plan to do: PM, TL, whatever. Now that I have practically everybody on Ignore, it's almost like a private website ;)

Nice. Europeans have had a distinct advantage lately.

It ain't over 'till it's over.

Part 2:

When the market provides you with such a nice, tight range just before the open, it pays to be aggressive. After all, there are only two choices.

So the "grail system" is down 40pts so far. Regardless of whether it reverses before the stop or not, if a 40pt downdraft in the NQ is within your risk tolerance, go for it. (Though I suggest you at least find out the criteria for entry . . . ) Risk management? Trade management? Que?
