Hi Surf,

Obviously not all of the things I listed need to happen at once, I just mentioned the scenarios I prefer.

However for the sake of explanation.

Have you ever bought a double bottom with a miniature stop that exploded for 12x (or more) the risk as you rode the trendline into the sky ? Sometimes even riding into the end of the day or even afterhours ?

Or how about a V bottom as soon as it breaks the downtrendline returning to it's starting point in minimal time ? Yesterday NQ afternoon comes to mind, missed it too.

Minimal risk, great reward with big element of surprise scenarios happens all the time.

Very subtle, Anekdoten, you won't be pinned down! Interesting that you will not let your style be categorized. Can you at least say if you favor market orders or limit orders, and why?

It's just a a speed vs slippage decision.

Depends on the play you know.

For the sake of argument, use limit for entries and market for emergency stops.

Thanks, Anek. It is clear that you are a highly flexible trader and will trade a wide variety of conditions, so let's get off that.

Can you tell us if you are self-taught as a trader, or were you mentored? And if mentored, is your current style strongly influenced by your mentor's style?
 
If I remember correctly neet seemed like an ass -- this guy anek is more of a nice guy :D :D

Anyway for what its worth -- his style is almost identical to mine -- which means he must be pretty good.

If I wanted to hide my previous identity all I had to do was choose a new name that could not be linked like so many in here do and be done with it.

Instead I decided to learn from my mistakes and restart with the name I'm known around trading circles and pay forward what I've learned.

ET can be harsh on it's users, just like trading, it takes time to get it right.

Best way to handle the ET fire is to avoid it otherwise it can make you mad.

Duref,

Can't give credit to anyone but hard work and perseverance.

Gurus, mentorships, in my humble opinion all a waste of time, screen time and experience, something you won't be able to find in a week's time.
