Guess I'll start crawling. Thanks

Thanks Niko, I am working on the TL method. I've found that it does work well when used for catching pullbacks in trends or exhaustion tops/bottoms, but unless I'm missing something in the thread, blindly taking every twist and turn of the 1 min chart is a disaster. I believe there is at least 1...

Scratch day. CL Trade #1 Short 96.62. After the OVN LOD was broken, thought price was going to run all down through yesterday's single prints to 96.22 ish. Waited for the LOD to break, and when it didn't break with conviction, moved my stop. +1 Trade #2 Long 97.20. Violated a rule here...

One trade again for me. Missed the big move up because the bar pattern wasn't 'perfect'. I supposed if I had taken it and it had failed, I would have been mad at myself. Managed to catch the short of the climactic top. Price blasted through a daily level and massive volume, then stalled right...

One trade today. It's not in my plan currently to trade the most lucrative market condition (trend), and I was frustrated watching price move down without me. There was also a perfect MP reversal to the tick that I watched happen, but again, it wasn't in my written plan, so I didn't take it...

I thought this had elements of Wyckoff in it in the way I'm using volume. No?

Only 1 trade today in CL. Missed one in CL and one in NQ because I was distracted. Pre-market in CL had a very nice mature channel in place, but it was right before the pit open and there was a key level that I felt would be tested at the open. Consequently I had BOPB long entry blinders on...

Here are the Cliff Notes version of my plan. Large parts are still in the R & D phase, but the skeleton of the plan is in tact. I have a handful of entry techniques that I apply at structural parts of the chart, depending on market conditions as I perceive them on the 5 min chart...

I'll post my plan later today and we can take it from there.

That's OK. I welcome his input. He's a profitable trader and I'm not. Just trying to learn.

3592 isn't a level, it was my entry. The level was 3602 (S becomes R). I think Wyckoff called that 'Jumping the Creek'.

I'm using my understanding of volume per Wyckoff. The first trade had rejection off of a level. The second and 5th trades had the exact same entry criteria, a 1 tick probe/rejection of a previous level (although I did get in to the 2nd trade rather poorly). Both, I believe, are Wyckoff...

Going to use the 5 min chart for context and base entries off the 1 min chart. My plan is mostly written out for channels (trade management is still weak) and am working on other parts of structure for entries. After the first push down, I drew the channel on the 5 min. Was hoping for a...

For the 1 to 2 people here that really tried to help me, I thought I'd post an update. I'm still alive and have been working at this full time. Here's a quick summary of my activity: Joined a couple of rooms, spent thousands. Bought some indicators, spent thousands. It's hard to believe...

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Been experimenting with Renko and Line Break bars. Seems interesting. Some of the same formations from the time based charts seem to hold, but the entries appear cleaner. Need more testing.

One trade yesterday in 6E for a tick. No trades today.

Two dumb mistakes and one crack under pressure. Every trade had a problem. Added up to a bad day. Trade #1 Traded too close to the news and right behind major barbed wire. Enough said. -8 ticks. Trade #2 Too focused on pivots to notice that price was making HH's and HL's and this was not...

Thanks for the analysis Joman. I totally missed that channel. I did see the long entry off the 07:00 bar, but it was right at a red level news event, so I passed on it. I tried to go long off the 07:12 pivot, but wasn't filled. The next long opportunity for me was off the 07:30 doji, but I don't...
