i was afraid to enter late in the move: entering later is ok if you have a solid bear or bull bar before your entry, closing at it's extreme with little or no wick, as a context

not bad for 4 hours trading

if the signal bar is good it will not be tested by a breakout pull back. if it is doubtful but not bad then it will definably be tested. make sure the signal bar is good .: that is the safe way to trade until you are profitable. the signal bar must have no wick or very very very small wick...

i have always lost money because i would know the correct and smart thing to do but not everybody knows and does that-in fact the majority do not know and do the opposite stupid wrong thing and the majority fading YOUR position, means that you will be in drawdown for a little while. but i used...

the market never gives easy money. you have always have to earn it through acquisition of knowledge expertise and, finally , street smartness and a will to survive

i gave you my detailed explanation and you ask me why?.. read it and try to understand. the wick on the high bar of the day was followed by two bear bars which meant it was 3 bar reversal bar which when the market went below the doji triggered the reversal bar and short. you have to use your...

this is a tip that may save you a lot of money. when you make a decent amount of money -that is the market gave you money-TRADING ONE MARKET CONDITION, like in one trend or range or wide channel, stop trading till that condition changes... if not, in that change, the market will take it all back

the market loves you ,it is never going to leave. it needs you and your mistakes to survive. so you can always wait and you will get another entry, often a better entry, but always a safer entry.... safety first and last:that should be any trader's -experienced or novice- ultimate obsession. i...

while Al does focus on near time price action he is mindful of the overall context to decide whether he is scalping or swing also a bad signal bar is very dangerous to trade and in most cases it will fail within a bar or two. i think most novice trader or even experienced trader like me, who...

here is another one: i really enjoyed this trade. the bar that formed the high of the day had a big tail on top showing traders sold into the close. they sold because of a possible final flag.....though the inside bar was a first correction it had come after a huge trend bar. then you get 2...

it is just a reminder. and they all dont come on the chart at the same time. usually one or two are constant for a long time : sometimes for the whole day. one or two count at a time . and that is why i keep those notes to remind me of all the possibilities because sometimes, for example...

yes something is wrong there. good point Brooks and everyone keeps focusing on structure and set ups and risk management. but the elephant in the room is context. that trumps everything. i am now concentrating on context and that is the reason for me doing better. that is the most...

he does not claim to be.a genius i mean i learnt from him and slowly developed my own style. that happens with everyone or it should . learning is not rigid

i get the feeling that you are very experienced and mature trader.you do have an open mind and you think outside the box.

yes ... i agree but i cannot explain it . sometimes everything lines up and you are scared to take the trade.... and the trade works!! I call this outsmarting your self. sometimes you just dont feel right and you end up being right meaning the feeling was correct.

i agree with you totally: very well said. but you have to learn the shit from somewhere i learnt it from Brooks because i wanted trade 5 min all day all night and in between too

i am making it now

that is exactly my view which i have repeated here ad nauseum. some are calling him all kinds of things. but he does have some insights i have not found anywhere else

yes only Brooks was there not others explaining him
