Scalping 101
When scalping as it so called one is looking to manipulate inconsistencies within supply/demand during the course of the trading day. In the early 90's this was referred to as "Daytrading".
However, as time progress traders started dabbling with intraday price patterns and overlaying them with all sorts of technical indicators and regression calculations on moving averages and support/resistance levels with many standard deviation models........All to no avail.
By the end of the 1999 the market was at an alltime irrational exuberance. It was not until March 2000 that the 1st taste of "Reality" started to set in- Anybody can make money in a Bull market!
Once the "Shadow of the Bear" started to awaken the daytraders found themselves in quite a quandary. their systems failed to perform. What happened?
They did not know how to trade but rather thought that they could because everytime they bought a stock - it shot up in value.
The 2 Bar Charlie "Live Demo" was designed to exploit the anomaly of time vs. price on an intra-day basis without the disturbance of noise and fancy technical indicators. what I wanted to teach is.........How to trade like a pro using a few simple rules and discretion!
Period!
Now that you have seen 1st hand how it is done the purpose of the journal was to record the "Daily Trading Plan" so that you would have a road map for the upcoming trading day.
