volpri, I went long at both these green arrows because price was moving up and because broke out the black line resistance. HOD = yesterday high I like to use buy stops above the breakout bar.

Well, I use to the 1 minute chart to manage the trade once I am to ride a winner. I try to give it room to run, sometimes it run, sometimes it dont and I take minor profit or breakeven +1 tick. I have an alarm set, if breakout near the green box to go long again. The reversal here does...

Thank you very much volpri, Lol, You already know, I have to spend a hour or so digesting your response. I will respond after work tonight.

MarkBrown, Yes volpri has helped me alllll the time. He is discretionary price action trader as well. We trade similar, but he is better a reading chart than I am and he handles trade management well.

MarkBrown, What type of trader are you? Price action trader or automated trader?

Hello They, Thank you for input I waited for High of day to be reached. When price approaches a support or resistance, I always go to the one minute chart to see rather to hold or exit. I exited because of the hammer at black line High of day area. That is good point regarding sell stops...

MarkBrown, Now lets say a trader was starring at Crude Oil all day on 5 minute chart or 10 range chart or whatever. The trader get tired cause seems choppy right? He call it a day and go play outside. He missed the big +50 tick trade 30 minutes. Do you see now? The trader must trade the...

MarkBrown, Do you see the trade above where crude oil went up strong and fast? This is why I believe trader have to stare at one chart all day. You do not know what is going to happen next. I agree with you my 3 minute chart may be too long to wait.

MarkBrown, Thanks, but I am not sure I fully understand you. My thought process is : Open a chart and trade what I see is happen at the moment in time. Yes, I look at daily chart. Yes, I look at weekly, but only to drawlines. But when I turn on my computer in the morning. Time to get busy...

Ok, so lets talk now. To the left is all that stuff right and here I am for TODAY. I have to trade and make money today. So what do I care about what happen yesterday and the week before and the month before? I have to enter a trade long or short today right? I have to enter a stop loss right...

dammitttt, I hate exiting this one early. I tell you what, trading intraday, have to be able to hold on to those winners. You just never know and that is what I am trying to tell They and Mark about looking at the background stuff. Here is chart right there to trade, why go look at all that...

Entry light blue arrow. Now I sit and hope the next resistance level breaks on a one minute chart at the green arrow. I like to let one minute bar full close before deciding to exit. This trade got me +30 ticks Everyday I draw lines all over the chart and trade them if the breakout or...
